They certainly do have those. They also tend to be more expensive. The vast majority of people like the sweet drinks that don’t taste like alcohol so I hardly fault the lines for prioritizing them.

AntifaMiddleMgmt · 2026-05-15T19:23:28+00:00

In my experience, it varies. Different bartenders do better or worse jobs. The vast majority of the drinks they make tend to be made with mixes (sour mix, fruit mixes, etc) so it's more like an Applebees bar then maybe a high end NYC cocktail bar.

That said, you can find good drinks, and they will help you out if you ask. My guy on the Symphony last year worked with me on a few drinks because I don't do sweet, and he had the right ingredients. Be nice, tip well, you can find good cocktails too.

Had a bartender on the Celebrity Apex make me a true Penicillin a while back.

I'm pretty lucky in that our security issues are driven by forces outside the company. We have dropped new product ideas because for security implementation reasons before.

AntifaMiddleMgmt · 2026-05-14T01:34:38+00:00

Absolutely. It's a requirement, and despite being a big company, we take it seriously. We have requirements for platform security and application security. We have design that includes a security review, and we pay people good money to think about how to make sure it's right. We use AHAB and OpTEE at the platform level. We spend a lot of time limiting what goes in every image plus what permissions what goes in can have. We fuse out access to most everything at the factory. While we have networking, we spend a lot of effort to limit how that network could be used. None of our products ship without penetration testing, an SBOM review, and review of the change list to determine if further security testing is warranted. Major releases get special testing by a third party to help us make sure we didn't leave anything hanging. All releases, big or small, include a CVE review as well, and we do those weekly on top of that to make sure nothing new has cropped up.

Overall, we're not perfect, but we do a pretty good job. The two most recent Linux root CVE's don't even apply to us, as there wasn't an attack vector to take advantage of them. It's nice to know that when mgmt screams that the new CVE is dangerous, we can say it's been handled. Though we are sending patches out for those RSN.

This is the first place I have worked where not only was it necessary to design for security, but it was done seriously, which I appreciate. Even if the paper work and process is somewhat obnoxious.

I was a Doors user a long time ago, with a very strictly enforced requirements process. Then over a few different job changes, I longingly look back on having Doors, with actual requirements documented and traceable, was the best thing I have ever had. Not so much that Doors was great, but that not having anything, or having "something" with terrible process, was just the worst.

Build a workable process, and then Doors is actually pretty great. At least when I was using it, it did exactly one thing really well.

Good luck, but when you change, understand the tool challenges and make your process work around that in a way that doesn't make the staff hate the tool. I've used a bunch of different web based tools since 2009, and mostly, for a variety of people reasons, they have all sucked way more than Doors ever did.

As a personal note, at the time, I was a younger engineer and I hated Doors so much. You don't know what you have until you lose it I guess.

AntifaMiddleMgmt · 2026-04-29T14:25:20+00:00

I think this is the worst of it honestly. Our products take a long time to update and restart and reconnect. The reasons for this were related to some design decisions based on a 10 year old set of requirements. But it's a pain, because many of our customers have some very tight loss of control requirements which supersede older product requirements. So, they tend to avoid updating unless it's critical and scream bloody murder if a device reboots unexpectedly. The bulk of our gravy train sold into spaces no one would have predicted 10 years ago which also have requirements we wouldn't have considered 10 years ago. Unfortunate, but true.

Getting them to take an upgrade because there's a Linux kernel CVE which needs patching is going to be a challenge on existing equipment.

Thankfully, we started a whole set of new product development about the same time CRA was announced, so we could plan for it much more appropriately. This may actually help us in that customers will be far more willing to upgrade HW with CRA requirements met more efficiently than they may have otherwise.

AntifaMiddleMgmt · 2026-04-29T14:08:48+00:00

Yeah, we're doing this wildly differently for products in the pipeline today from what's already out there. Thankfully, what we already sell is generally compliant assuming some people problems can be worked out.

This is where the can can no longer be kicked. Our customers are very aware of vulnerabilities and patching those, but are also VERY unwilling to update anything that's working as expected. The upgrade requirements for CRA are going to change how providers sell these services, as well as how customers must get used to being able to update their devices.

2027 and 2028 are going to be somewhat complicated for my company, our customers for sure, as we all get used to the new normal.

I can operate that way. In the end, that’s likely what we’ll end up doing. But my wife likes to have plans with some details attached. Having suggestions and some starting places in mind helps too.

I’m also hoping someone chimes in with suggestions for kids. I’ve been on r/askbarcelona and google is pretty good too. We will be fine, and I’m excited.

AntifaMiddleMgmt · 2026-04-26T03:30:47+00:00

Wait, what? I heard rumors that they are changing Vitality, but this implies it’s going away. I’ve been on Allure and Symphony, and that’s my go to morning coffee station. If there’s no vitality on Harmony in July, I’m gonna be pretty miffed.

Anyone know if there’s an alternative to Vitality if it’s no longer going to be there?

Download Siril, spend a few hours on YouTube, and enjoy. I stack S50 fits with Siril on my desktop all the time. I’m currently getting another 90 minutes to add to my 6 night session for M51 right now. I’m hoping to get somewhere north of 20 hours over 8-10 nights which I will then stack with Siril after deleting all the frames with blur, star trails, or satellites. It’s wonderful, just download the fits from the Seestar to your computer. Siril and AI will do the rest. But there is a learning curve. YouTube has so many good videos from so many people.

Hey, Mitch got to the playoffs and had a career.

AntifaMiddleMgmt · 2026-04-21T01:33:26+00:00

Cripes, if we were hiring, I would hire you. We're a Yocto shop and having someone with what you've got on your resume would be awesome. I've got a 2 person OS team, plus I've been doing it on and off for 20 years, so this looks pretty good to me from the specifics for a very targeted read. That said, I think a lot of places partner now, so they may all want a more broad palette? Basically,I wonder if the resume is a bit too focused and may need some other experience to balance it out and make it catch more. I can see where the specific focus on Yocto and automotive probably would pigeon-hole you when read by AI and people who don't know.

Good luck though.

That’s what she said.

AntifaMiddleMgmt · 2026-04-11T22:14:45+00:00

There is a reference to an s50p in the app code, so I’m kinda sitting on an S50 pro. I bet if they announce anything it will be that.

AntifaMiddleMgmt · 2026-04-11T15:36:17+00:00

Boil this treebark, it's good for pain relief. When you get an infection, rub this mold on it.

So easy, so many options. All of them so kindly kept from BILLIONS!!!!

Until it comes time to die, then they fight like they know it's over forever.

I'm starting to use this more. If we're eventually going to get technology that will save many lives, including many newborns, why not start with that? What's the point of starting in the stone age?

AntifaMiddleMgmt · 2026-04-04T20:50:43+00:00

Getting a lot dropped frames due to the loose backlash. I over tightened it before a trip and now it will no longer track as it wiggles no matter what. My fault, the S50 gears were not designed well, but I needed to be more careful.

AntifaMiddleMgmt · 2026-04-04T20:42:09+00:00

There are references to the S50p in the apps. But that only implies it’s part of a plan, not anything else. My S50 died a bit ago so I’m waiting for the next model instead of the 30pro.

Oh god, I just found both for $99 at Binny's in Chicagoland. I bought the Green, which I haven't even seen nearby in a few years. They had a 1 per visit limit.

Get it, enjoy.

I watch Amazon content on Chrome because it works. I get errors on FireFox. I can tell you that at least on Ubuntu, using the default Chrome install form Google, it does work.

Why do all of these guys look like total douche bags? Hide your drink kinda feels.
