Sometimes ago I found a pair of airpods on a pavement in my city. I started searching for the owner nearby, but nobody showed up, after I keept them in a drawer for a while hoping that the owner would enable lost mode, but they didn't. After 10 days without news I disabled location and started to use them. They are still thetered to the original account. I would be happy to return them, but the owner probably don't know or don't care..


Super sad, atom's column editing still rocks. are there alternatives for vsCode?


>Sometimes providing a bad product is only relative to the competition (which may have a worse product).

Eventually will came someone with a truly good product and distrupt the market


will they?

In some fields having a good business and regulatory relationship with the customers (e.g., hospitals, DoD, banks, etc.,) is much tougher than building the product. There are many barriers in place and these fields are not so easily disrupted (having a superior product is definitely not enough).

Also note that having a bad product now that is better than the competition does not mean you cease to improve.


Exactly. I've worked in companies dominating a particular niche. Everything about the technology is "terrible" from an engineer's perspective, and yet nothing shifts their dominance. A massive rewrite that damages customer relationships is more risky than doing nothing to improve it.


Or this company is bought up, which was there first and therefore has the larger financial reserves.


Also Prima.it has got 1B+ founding a couple years ago. Unicorns in Italy are rare but are some.


Prima raised $100+M in their Series A in 2018, I don't think the official valuation was ever disclosed


From the piece: "incarcerated people working for the state’s correctional industries earn an average of $4.50 per day."


I'm italian. It would be a nice weekend trip going to tuscany to see it!


There is a great Italian history in making cool machines, including computers.

My colleague is living in Milan and I told him about the Computer Museum in Pisa. He's on a mission to get there now.


I would join you if you were serious about it


Beside the classical setup of homeassistant I have a telegram bot that parse the website of a local used camera gear. Sometimes you can find good deals, but they last a couple of minutes, so having the new deals on time is vital.


Cameras may be obsolete, but old camera lenses can be adapted to modern mirrorless cameras pretty easily, and usually they last more than camera bodies. There are some 70s/80s ones that are pretty decent even for modern standards, plus they have a look that modern lenses don't have.. so prices are rising..


Right, but isn't a third party app, is kinda a part of the OS, like deleting Safari.
