Link. Every person with access to a file can create their own folder structure …

We are so screwed – proof 426.
Link. Very few can do file/folder security correctly. Not me, evidently.
We are so screwed – proof 426
I thought I had the right privileges on the right folders for our mountain biking team. Then I thought to access the URL from incognito mode.
I didn’t have the shares as cleanly set up as I thought I did.
I’m not the apex of human achievement, and this was all low risk stuff … but still. We’re screwed.
The human brain is crap: “even a single mild T.B.I. was tied to an increased risk of dementia”
Link. The damned thing is at the top of a biped! Who would design something this stupid?!
Micro.blog for Twitter users.
Link. I use pinboard like this — because of habit.
Indonesia tech: “Vivo and Oppo … make shameless iPhone clones with iOS-styled versions of Android”
Link. TripMode is essential. The data partitioning is what we’ll get now that net neutrality is dead.
macOS has a ridiculous range of great text editors.
Link. Interesting to ask why we have so much choice here, and so little in photo management. I think it’s the standard data format.
Redefining Alzheimers by biomarker: “eight different ways … depending beta-amyloid, tau, and apparent neurodegenerative damage.”
Link. We need a reboot. We are getting nowhere.
Apple and me
I’ve lived through several OS transitions. Microsoft did them best. Their transitions had the lowest expenses and the least data loss. Apple did the biggest transition. OS/2 and GEOS died.
We all expect another transition from Apple; some mixture of macOS and CPU transition. This follows on years of Apple macOS disappointments — for me, above all, the way Apple ended Aperture.
I expect this transition to go badly for me. So my Apple relationship is officially cold. Not divorce yet, but the lawyer is in Contacts.
I’m not buying anything from Apple unless there is very clear immediate value and a clear exit strategy. I’ve ended our family Apple Music subscription. I’ll look for an alternative to iTunes movies. No earPods, no Apple Watch.
I’m staying on Sierra and Aperture through 2019.
Divorce will be painful, but Apple is likely past redemption. Its path lies elsewhere.
