Interesting case from #CERN where #Russia team leaving the project sabotaged continued operations of the module they delivered by refusing to supply documentation on its operations, thus threatening continuity of the project:

When CERN definitively ended its cooperation with Russia, engineers were left with Russian equipment for which complete documentation was lacking. Shutting down the equipment threatened to paralyse the key ALICE experiment. That’s when the Poles stepped in, figured out how the Russian equipment worked, reverse engineered it, and not only saved the project, but became key players in the Large Hadron Collider. Krystian Rosłon from the Warsaw University of Technology revealed the details of this incredible operation to the PAP Nauka news agency.

Rosjanie myśleli, że bez nich to nie zadziała. Polacy złamali ich sprzęt

Rosjanie odeszli z CERN i zabrali ze sobą wiedzę, bez której Wielki Zderzacz Hadronów mógł stanąć w miejscu. W tym momencie na scenę weszli polscy inżynierowie i naukowcy.

Clear indicator that Apple's DMA implementation never actually met its obligations under the DMA in the first place. Apple scared developers away from ever signing up to their poison pill Core Technology Fee terms, so alternative app stores simply have no apps to offer.

The pretense of avoiding 'political retaliation' from the US when the US is openly discussing invading and conquering EU member territory is utter nonsense. Fine Apple what they should be fined

The iOS 26 search tab looks more like an action button than a tab. That's causing problems for developers like me who want to follow Apple's guidelines.

oh and, if you're curious, the second piece of guidance is: "Use a single icon to introduce a group of similar items"

If you do not live in North America, it might be hard to grasp just how large and powerful moose are. Hopefully, this video will help.

There are two herbivores that grizzly bears will sometimes run away from. The other is bison.

It might have made some sense to bring someone from the fashion/brand world to lead software design for Apple Watch, but it sure didn’t seem to make sense for the rest of Apple’s platforms. And the decade of Dye’s HI leadership has proven it.
