Unsure about your reference, but is your argument: Someone else is doing it, so I should be allowed to as well. That's basically the western companies complaining that they can't compete with China because Chinese companies are al

Movies and TV shows I can maybe see. There hasn't really be a show that I really wanted to watch for the past... two years, except a few that are on public broadcast or only available on DVD. Music I don't get, you can't even

jQuery is 30kB, there's not a lot of heaviness. In a world of React, Vue, htmx and what have you, 30kB is nothing. If you like the syntax and functionality of jQuery, or if you're just use to it now, there's very little reaso

That is true, it looked completely off, as if no one really bothered to tests it and make it look nice. It got rid of the horrible window decoration of the default theme, but the start menu looked terrible.

While there are more trolls and bots on Facebook than real users, but many of those real users have no issue using their real name and picture while excepting awful behaviour. I'm not sure that adding an identifier is really going to h

That's a matter of taste, but for many it was the Windows they used first and/or spend the most time on and there's a lot of love for that reason alone. I never used XP all that much, but I always changed the theme to the Win

That is a valid use case, but it's a $2800 device, you can get another iPhone and a Neo (or an iPad) for the same price and have money to spare. It does make sense as a one and only device, but the price makes it a little unrealistic,

I prefer TouchID because FaceID doesn't work when my phone is flat on the table and away from me. That's is how I use my phone most of the time, I don't really hold it up to my face.

$2800 here. What kinda of problem does that solve that's worth that kind of money? I'm seriously asking, because I can't figure it out. I can completely see buying an iPhone 18 Pro because you use it for work as an influencer

Probably, but do enough people want it? The iPhone SE and the mini was discontinued do to "poor" sales, meaning poor for an iPhone. I'm interested to see if Apple will stop selling the Duo if it only sells at the same rate as

If you do it in person you have to say X with a slight look of disgust in your face, to let them know what you're talking about. Most people I know only knows about X/Twitter from the news cycle, it's not something they thems

I can't figure out if renaming Twitter to X is the stupidest branding decision I've ever encountered or if it's bloody brilliant. Every time Danish media talks about X, they say "The social media X". So X in itself

That's probably the single thing that I found to be biggest difference between those who are very pro AI vs. those more reserved or negative. A colleague has openly stated that he very much does not care for the process, he just want t

HN vastly over estimate the actual usage of agents, and AI in general. The few times I figure an LLM might help, I just use DuckDuckGos duck.ai.

Yet you can be absolutely sure that Google is training their AI products on the same pages they do not want to show to their search users.

I'd agree that $10 can and will make users switch to a different provider. Just as streaming music services are all price basically the same, as to avoid users just jumping to the cheapest, I think the AI companies will find a suitable

That boils down to who the customers for ChatGPT really are. $10 isn't going to make a difference for those who already pay, because they are basically pro-consumers. OpenAI might deliver enterprise solutions for large companies, but t

What are they going to do with that data? Is it ads again?

The media has been struggling on how to word this. Danish media tried labeling it as "the first orbital launch from Europe. Which is wrong, because the Plesetsk Cosmodrome exists. It's also not the first orbital launch from the EU

Interesting, I have the "reverse" problem. Mostly I read older books, random books and I've noticed a pattern in less known and maybe less skilled authors. Sometimes, especially in the books from the 1970s, the story just sor

PiHole was my solution as well, and then Reddit decided to help. The "new" Reddit interface is still horrible and unusable, so old.reddit.com was always my go to. I don't have or want a Reddit account, I just wanted to follow

But when it fails, everything fails at the same time. It's not that far fetched that if your phone dies, you can't unlock your car, you can't pay for the bus, your insulin pump now lost its controller and you can't call

Because I just auto-generate them and 50 is the default in 1Password. I rarely change default in any software I use, partly out of laziness and partly to ensure consistency across devices.

It's not dumb, it's just a little inconvenient. My passwords are normally 50+ characters and pretty hard to type out, but I could fix that with "Correct Horse Battery Staple" passwords. Travelling is a little worse. I&#x

You could also see if it's something your employer allows you to expense. It's still cheap enough that it's something most managers can just approve directly, depending on organizational structures.
