I wonder how long it will be until TVs have some sort of cellular modem built in. Maybe some form of LPWAN - your TV may not be connected to the internet, but odds are there's one in range that is.

When I was in high school I brought in a copy of The Hacker's Dictionary to show a friend. A teacher saw it. A few weeks later there was a hacking incident! The shared spreadsheet of every pupil's grades that every teacher had ful

The single purpose nature of the iPad makes it pretty good for quite a few tasks. I find it much easier to stay focused. I’m not saying that justifies the cost, but seeing as I have one anyway, it’s what I use for a lot of my writing like t

I can’t find what you want, but you can buy PoE splitters. PoE in, ethernet and power out. Surely a matter of time until someone does this…

It's a great read! A story of how the scientific elite stalled progress because the right answer wasn't the one they hoped it would be, and didn't come from the sort of person they thought it should. If you get the chance, yo

I used to be a professional sailor, and love finding nautical terminology in programming. At sea dead reckoning is navigating using the speed and direction of the ship, and adding tide and wind to calculate a fix based on the last known pos

This sounds extremely susceptible to unconscious bias, or even just straightforward discrimination.

Practically anything! Vibrant colours work best, and there are techniques to do transitions, fades, and masking to get multiple colours, though I’ve never done those myself.

13 year old me who anodised remote control car chassis completely agrees the process is quite simple. In the context of a MacBook, it’s not. Removing just the aluminium components and leaving everything that doesn’t like baths undamaged is

People Look For: Specific language tells, such as: unusual punctuation, including em–dashes and semicolons; hedged, safe statements, but not always; and text that showcases certain words such as “delve”. Here’s the kicker. If you happen to

I find MCP beneficial too, but do be aware of token usage. With a naive implementation MCP can use significantly more input tokens (and context) than equivalent skills would. With a handful of third party MCPs I’ve seen tens of thousands of

I was about to ask if anybody had looked at what it was sending home. I’m travelling so I’m not in a position to run this through a proxy for a couple of weeks, but also I’m travelling so this could be useful!

That counts! I suppose I’m lucky enough to know of more reliable resources (macadmins.org Slack is an excellent community), and so I turn to them after reading more than a couple of threads on the Apple Support Community. Perhaps it has imp

I am genuinely curious if anybody knows of a non-trivial problem being solved on one of these forums, at least for a huge company that’s palming off customer support. It just feels like screaming in to the void, only for someone to (deliber

I use Fastmail with my own domain and 1Password. Together they give me a “masked email” button for forms that generates a random enough email address (two common words and four digits) and records the domain it was for. You can also create

Anokion (now bankrupt) also seemed to have some progress along these lines (link below). A close family member suffers from MS and is on the more effective but less safe drugs available. They haven’t suffered a relapse since starting them f

I wrote a longer comment already ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47352526 ) but looking at the hot run performance and making big hand wavy guesses, the performance difference might not be as big as you'd expect.

This isn't true for iOS at least. You can include device erase capabilities in the MDM profile without enrolling as a managed device.

Wacom have been selling "pen displays" for years, at least since ~2013. You can buy a brand new one for $300.

To add to this, this is probably due to Amazon Brand Registry which promotes products from brands with a trademarked name. The sellers only care about the brand so far as it's trademarkable. Mashing on the keyboard is the simplest and

If you account for the wastage/insurance costs using standard freight carriers that seems reasonable to me as a proportion of value. I’m sure this is shipped insured, well packaged and on a pallet. Walmart might be able to resell a dam
