They had a perfectly working search box in Windows 7, then gutted it and made it search the web whenever you wanted to launch Notepad.

Don't like to see comments like these. I think it violates several HN guidelines, including this one: > Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. Unfortunately there is no report b

If they had Apple input devices (Magic Keyboard, touchpad, etc) they don't work over the wire.

This feature ("Reactions") should've been opt-in. But Apple knows best for their users :P

Define "easily"? Non-tech-savvy users will never even touch an install USB or know what regedit is. They'll just see the dialog saying "your computer doesn't support Windows 11", chuck it in the bin, and buy a

The comment is arguing that if Meta were to change the rules, they could easily block such sideloading of APKs by pushing out a simple system update. I don't think they will given the backlash, but the possibility is there.

By capable, the hardware is, but the software isn't. IIRC macOS removed the libraries required to run 32-bit applications back in Mojave or Catalina. So it's not really lying. While it is annoying that we can't use legacy sof

Just an FYI, but iPads can no longer be used as a HomeKit hub as of last year: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213481 (Yes, you can technically use an iPad as a hub if you are on the old Home architecture)

That is terrible. I have a number of issue reports open with immich but didn't know about this particular snag. Has this been reported to their GitHub?

That only mitigates the problem of the official launcher not existing for Linux. Games are still installed with Proton. For example, I was trying to install Into The Breach, which is available on both Steam and Epic. Steam has builds for al

The one advantage that air fryers have over standard convection ovens (IMHO) is that you can make smaller portions, and because these products are designed to cook small portions they can direct a ton of heat at the food, cooking it very qu

It's a remote that charges via the USB-C port. If it doesn't follow USB 2.0 spec, or the USB-PD spec, or any spec associated with the type-C port, how is it supposed to get power from the host device/charger?

Yup, I noticed it after publishing. I'll check with the blog theme and see if that is possible. Sorry!

Author here; I don't think my blog post is in support of the USB-IF (unless I missed a sentence I wrote somewhere that insinuates otherwise...) I just think selling defective products that don't charge with certain cables shouldn&

Hi, author here. The quote you mentioned from Wikipedia indeed says that devices don't have to implement all the capabilities of the connector. However, further down, it says the following: > USB-C devices may optionally provide or
