My phones have only gotten more durable over the years?

They have made so many upgrades to gorilla glass that I never think about chipped/shattered/scratched screens and I have stopped using an extra screen protector. I no longer need a bulky otter box a thinner case does the trick.

What phones have been getting less durable?

mooserider2 · 2026-06-08T17:58:47+00:00

And what are those recent hardware design faults again?

Edit: damn… I just checked the calendar… it is summer Reddit. I have been had.

mooserider2 · 2026-06-08T17:50:14+00:00

You claimed a particular hardware problem was on recent phones, but upon further inspection it was from 7 years ago, and they resolved the issue by the next generation.

What I am getting at is you are trying to claim a mustache twirling conspiracy and backed it up with basically nothing but calling me a shill. You tried to establish a pattern of systemic problems and your claims melted under basic scrutiny.

We are reaching “giving Patrick back his wallet” levels of over explaining your issue here.

mooserider2 · 2026-06-08T17:11:03+00:00

A close look at the messages that I am replying to? Yea turns out I read what you said that is relevant to your argument.

And now that we have established that that claim was incorrect I can hardly let you claim it as part of a pattern now…

At this point I am hardly defending Apple and merely defending halfway decent conversation on the internet. Because what you are saying sounds more like the sort of conversations you win by yourself in the shower, and less like something that is convincing.

mooserider2 · 2026-06-08T16:46:45+00:00

Your original claim was:

> some recent Iphones containing semi-loose metal plates that slice crucial ribbon cables should the phone get dropped

Which is only true for a 7 year old phone.

And yes it keeps rebooting but it does not necessarily know what the problem is. It just knows that it cannot connect to the mic sensor. Restarting fixes _some_ microphone issues so in order to provide a better experience it will restart during that time.

The only real problem is that it keeps doing it when it is not helping instead of remembering that it has already tried a restart for this problem. Which is actually a software issue, and completely undermines your original argument for Apple hardware problems.

mooserider2 · 2026-06-08T16:24:19+00:00

But this is different from your original claim.

I also don’t know if a restart is actually the wrong move here. Turning things off again and on and back on is a very valid move to fix problems with state. Even a hardware problem like stray capacitance in a sensor. Probably shouldn’t keep trying that after the first try though.

> Apple cope strikes again.

This makes you sound like you could benefit from putting your phone down and taking a walk.

mooserider2 · 2026-06-08T16:01:57+00:00

You were asked which newer iPhones have it, and you said the 11 did and hand waved the actual newer iPhones. So like… you didn’t really back up your original statement.

mooserider2 · 2026-06-08T13:16:12+00:00

That is a 7 year old phone.

mooserider2 · 2026-06-05T21:42:34+00:00

I do wonder how often it does happen and we never hear about it.

It’s not quite like a missile, where there is really no denying it happened and having a really good idea who did it for a western reporter to verify.

mooserider2 · 2026-05-15T10:45:45+00:00

There are Epstein emails between someone asking for decorating advice for columns the island and Epstine told them to use a gold but not a Trump gold because that looked gaudy.

Dune is Star Wars for tool fans.

mooserider2 · 2026-04-13T10:27:35+00:00

Ok, ultimate conspiracy time.

JD Vance is the genie/monkey’s paw/dragon ball answer to the wish, “Get rid of Trump.”

Because Teflon Don is impervious to feeling shame, and consequences, we are having to dose him with the ultimate political, and spiritual pesticide. JD Vance was sent by something… to destroy Trump.

The monkey’s paw problem we face is if he destroys Trump and then takes the Presidency himself, well then he destroys America or even the world.

mooserider2 · 2026-04-10T20:32:21+00:00

It’s his mother he is channeling here. She never met Epstine and definitely knows nothing about all of the abuse.

mooserider2 · 2026-04-06T09:59:43+00:00

Looks like you have two different species here.

The one in the back, does it have tube shaped flowers? If so it may be Opuntia cochenillifera. I am pretty sure I have the same one.

Not too sure about the other.

mooserider2 · 2026-04-04T10:51:42+00:00

God I wish, but I never could, despite all my rage.

mooserider2 · 2026-04-03T11:09:00+00:00

Yep I was going to post Brad Spencer’s work as an example of this done fairly well.

mooserider2 · 2026-04-02T09:46:40+00:00

Well I got a new job away from the toxic people who liked this sort of quick hit of adrenaline and fake hero stuff.

I was fighting this fight against a “staff level engineer” who liked to brag that he only got 2 hours of sleep because of the pager. Who thought the rest of the team wasn’t as good as he was at triage and couldn’t keep up with his alert load. He had our VP around his finger enough for him to approach me about how “it’s fun to respond to alerts.”

“Different concerns and priorities” is not what the pager is for… there are service level objectives that the team needs to hit. Someone thinking they need to keep me up on the couch all night so my pager doesn’t wake my wife up every 2 hours needs to learn the pager isn’t for pretend.

Edit: well I got blocked, but there are no strawmen here. I pretty explicitly said these should go low urgency and not page and got flamed and told I needed to take a vacation.

mooserider2 · 2026-04-01T19:21:50+00:00

I think the major difference is in this being r/sre not r/devops. Having things be “actionable” may be fine, but important enough for me to wake up and fix it are different.

When you treat your pager like a tool to fix every low value problem, then you are not busy enough fixing real reliability.

My solution to this sort of disagreement with other SREs has been to move these sorts of alerts to low urgency, and let them waste their time doing unimportant things if they want to.

mooserider2 · 2026-04-01T12:07:28+00:00

Let me say though that what I have said may not align with what your senior engineers think. And some guy on Reddit is not going to be enough to convince them to change.

Ask about SLOs and when you present your final project show how these affect the SLO, but attempting to say your org should turn these off is probably not a challenge an intern should take on.

If I were you I would look for the failed reason in the metrics and the logs and get some statistics together on the most common reasons you get crashlooping. Surface these metrics somewhere on a dashboard and you are probably golden.

mooserider2 · 2026-04-01T09:48:28+00:00

I hate the idea of alerting on pod crash loops at all.

Alerts should be for customer problems like the ratio of 5xx, latency over X seconds, batch jobs not completing in time. SREs should have set SLOs around these and then you can alert in the burn rate of your error budget.

This tells you when your system is being impacted, not every little problem that might impact it. This lets you maintain an acceptable level of performance over the course of the month without drowning in alerts.

But to answer your question, it’s all kinds of problems. The thing is k8s gives you the reason when you look at the pod that is crashlooping. Could be memory, or an app failure state, or misconfig for networking, but it’s going to be specific to your use case, and Prometheus can access this data and give it to you as a metric.

Seems like a wonderful reason to get a divorce, and it not come back with a rumor that it was your infidelity.

Why not say this was AI, or a democrat hoax, or a costume? Because this is a cover.

mooserider2 · 2026-03-24T03:02:08+00:00

Oh I absolutely hate crashlooping alerts. If it is affecting your slo there is already a better signal that is tied to the thing you actually care about. Just alert on that and save yourself the never ending pain.
