For that I had the quote saved to a text file of comments, with the link. If it were something like a web page which I found worthwhile it'd be saved as a MHTML, categorized and with notes in the filename for quick searching via Everyt

Looking at their Wikipedia they also apparently bought 7digital, another online music store, earlier this year. Had no idea about this until now. Edit: to clarify meant Songtradr.

Blackberry 10 had really nice text selection for their phones with physical keyboards. The keyboard itself doubled as a touchpad so one was able to double tap the physical keyboard anywhere in a text box to bring up a loupe and hold the vir

They mention a 2023 report about unintentional access of others' cameras but this dates back to 2019 (I know this since I saved a video about it from an owner who demonstrated it, which is no longer on Youtube afaict). The video showed

I'm a bit puzzled by the tone of the piece in that the author frames it as a critique yet also points out how much easier it is to repair. I was anticipating some literal 2.5" SSD-like empty husk.

Yeah I'd be similarly curious how that was arrived at. ESRGAN was co-developed by a researcher at Tencent, who has been involved in a range of similar things. The only satellite related thing I saw in my brief searching is some separat

Mmm, for this reason it's worthwhile keeping an eye out for firmware-level issues in case the device is outside the OEM supported range. Eg: CVE-2020-11292[1] which affected Qualcomm chips. [1] https://www.bleepingcomputer.c

Fwiw LineageOS has historically supported various Pixels for many years longer*, eg. the Pixel 2 (2017) which has been updated to Android 13[1]. GrapheneOS on the other hand only supports devices for as long as the manufacturer provides off

One thing I like about the site itself is the pagination is numbered in descending order so any links to a specific page should always have the same content and one can pick up where one left off at a later point (assuming the same number o

I remember reading about the proposed idea back on A List Apart like 12 years ago and thinking it was an interesting idea yet surprisingly have only seen them adopted widely in the last ~5 years.

Eh, the HN guidelines say to take things in good faith. Seeing how it plays out seems better than pre-emptively dismissing what could progress things. Edit: results appear on DDG, for me, apparently.
