The SATA spec and PWDIS make me irrationally mad.
Not just because they wasted several days of my time debugging some hard drives, but because its bad juju to make backwards imcompatable changes no matter what form your interface takes. Be it application programming or physical.

I would really caution anyone against implying that paywalling this feature is a legitimate response to public outcry. The paywall is an endorsement, not a restriction. Musk is saying "this thing you're all talking about is valuable. Pay me for it." The actual material effect is just monetization.

If anyone has been following along with the ManageMyHealth breach, this 2024 inquiry into its security (including integration into Te Whatu Ora's health identity portal) may be interesting. Disappointing that the request was only partially satisfied, and late.
