I like it as well, although it was and is very buggy in certain instances.

could use some investigation of the ukranians techniques -- the number of interceptors the U.S. used within the first four days of the war eclipsed the total amount Ukranians have had for the war

What the USA learned from Ukraine is that the Shaheds are amazing and they want them too [1], apparently.

If we stay on the current path, in a few months tech will start to feel the pain of Trump's rampage. The only redeemable thing about that is that maybe tech workers and Americans generally will finally stop feeling like they're above it all.

It's still extremely odd that they don't just... turn off.. ever? Even the case marketing copy notes this:

> When stored in the soft, slim Smart Case, AirPods Max enter an ultra‑low‑power state.


They do, they turn off almost entirely once you leave them stationary for five minutes.

This is the same as any over-ear headphones.


They don't, because almost entirely is not the same as entirely.


Except that they don't. Or at least many, many people report that they don't, including myself and I have tried all the remedies that supposedly help. If you don't provide an off button and you can't build a product this expensive to power itself off reliably for everyone, then you've failed at product design.


I didn't see a reply to the responses to you saying to reset them.

One question I have - do you have them connected to an Android device via bluetooth? Most Android devices will keep them awake by pinging them incessantly.


Perhaps for Find My/UWB support?


Find my works fine on a coin cell battery on AirTag, hard to imagine they need to power up the headphones to do the same.


Funny enough, the original and the new AirPods Max don't have UWB. That won't help me find my headphones in my house.

If for Find My, why stay in "low power" mode for days before moving to "ultralow power" mode? Is silly.


Wow, I had no idea they didn't have no UWB. Honestly that would remove half the value for me. That's crazy for Apple in 2026.


Support small theatres, you won’t get charged like this.


If they exist. None exists the in 15 mile radius of where I live.


In the millennial suburbs some people have converted their garages into small indie move theaters with good sound systems and people from around the neighborhood show up to watch obscure movies together and eat barbecued food.


pre-millennial here; we call this a party, rather than a "suburban prosumer boutique theatre".


Why are you quoting a phrase that does not exist in the post you are responding to?


The only person calling it that is you...


Is this actually a broad trend, or more just your personal experience? There is very little that could get me to move back to the suburbs, but this kind of thing is compelling.


Similar to people building a bar in their garage.


You could become the first.


unfortunately they are dying faster than malls… I live in urban area and my small theatre options re dwindling


> Israeli VCs tend to be uninterested in IPOs in general - too much of an operational headache and it's difficult to exit a position quickly.

Interesting, why is this more true of Israeli VC's as opposed to VC's in other markets?


I would assume VC's are dominantly US-based, and US-based VC's tend to be able to weather the landscape of American markets better than foreigners.


Partially. The issue is capital - even Wiz largely raised thanks to Sequoia, Insight Partners, and Index Ventures. American funds are much larger and are able to finance later stage rounds. Most Israeli VC funds end up financing earlier rounds and can't neccesarily participate in later rounds and thus have an incentive to exit earlier.


Seems possible that MMO's will have a resurgence once the Roblox generation comes of age.

the outcome of the review isn't just that the code gets shipped, it's knowledge transfer from the senior engineer to the junior engineers that then creates more senior engineers


the first scenario that came to mind is that they built it for themselves and then open sourced it
