I'm actually a Technology Designer, I have multiple different roles ranging from shaping and molding the direction of a companies deployment of Apple products down to some Research & Development work. As with most things Apple, I'm a little secretive with my exact job responsibilities as it allows me a bit of mystery! ;) Needless to say I do get to play with some things that don't exist outside of the reality distortion field right now (hence the shut down screen on the left) and can say without a doubt that I love my job! :)

Here is my work workstation, a long story short I ended up giving up my 30-inch Cinema to a designer who needed it a bit more than me, in it's place I was provided a brand new (took it out of the box today) Dell 24-inch.

Pardon the grainy low light, was taken with my iPhone and it's much darker in there than it looks.

Nice..the Air seems to look like that of Austin ;)

My nearly 2 week old iMac :) Not much else on the desk - some Sennheiser wireless headphones I use when I want to walk around the flat and listen to tunes, and some nicer quality BeyerDynamic headphones for when i'm actually at the desk. Also a Seagate 320GB HDD which I use as my drive for Time Machine :)

Sorry for the crap picture. I really must get a digital camera sorted out - my phone just doesn't cut it!

I didn't clean up as I wanted the world to see that not everything is perfect :). I clean up about once a week but I tought I'd break the mold here and show the "end-of-the-week" result.

This is my workstation for business, development and some gaming. The left side is for hobby projects.

(And yes that thermostat is reading 27.6C .. aircon is off, too much noise. Again sorry for bad quality .. this was taken with my Touch Dual)

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
