Wonder where this leaves folks who paid the annual rate? Here’s what Claude said: https://claude.ai/share/1a4293bd-b2d4-41b7-a887-eb42b3ae8b6e “ The standard answer here is no — Anthropic does not typically refund the

Is the historical aspect of the archive coincidental? It seems like Google archived ads; and those ads provided historical context. How does this information get supplemented by other historical data? I wonder if it will be relevant to k

That’s awesome! I’m not a musician but just impressed by an app with great focus that stands the test of time. Makes me wonder why Apple doesn’t have an area for exactly this type of app; the opposite of Latest Apps.

I’m not sure, but seems like there should be a difference between someone conducting research while testing theanine versus someone just consuming theanine to battle anxiety. That’s probably been said in other comments in a more scientific

Are Dell’s like this encompassed by that article? https://www.dell.com/en-us/search/linux … What about System76? It seems like the article makes blanket statements that might apply if you’re building your own des

What if it’s not about marketing & more about new functionality? In another comment this was compared to Twitter changing to X … what if this is ChatGPT becoming a chat app for peers & with gpt? Or a social network? People share th

I’m more surprised that it’s taken this long for a big bad tech company (or companies) to exclude software or hardware releases to the EU. No matter how much of a hit to their (very large) bottom line, Apple or any company should be welcom

Did Fast Company have a similar version of this for Google I/O, OpenAI’s conference, Microsoft’s Copilot+ unveiling, Alexa’s last big presentation? Apple — all alone — is a threat to human creativity? Really? They’ve caught up to &am

Regarding links in the article, it’s definitely lacking (as mentioned links like this: https://blog.chromium.org/2024/05/manifest-v2-phase-out-begi... ) but also why don’t articles like this offer a consistent set

What is easier than Apple’s App Store to install & drag to Trash to uninstall. And, non-App Store downloadable dmg installers (and app update utilities available to 3rd parties — albeit not Apple’s updater). macOS is pretty easy.

So I think a lot of people say that they’d rather print photos at a drugstore (or some other online service), which totally makes sense. But if you completely ditch printers at home, which kind of makes sense; where do you feel safe printi

Next year, why then? Genuinely curious what keeps you hanging on. Seems like Google’s apps and services rise and fall like the tides, so why not now.

The math around cost of ownership is just vague for EVs. (Tires instead of oil changes mentioned in the article is worse than vague though, at least with respect to cost.) But even if there was good data — and there might be — long term o

I wonder if it’s possible to take a car offline or at what point it will become impossible to do so. Because if GM - and others can do this — there’s no doubt that at some point cars could be bricked unless they can phone home.

Hi @rahilb, this sounds very intriguing; but I have a question regarding the In-App Purchases: what do these do? Is the app a trial that eventually requires a subscription or lifetime purchase? I think what Obsidian with recent changes to

Done, account deleted, and thank you for the heads up. Genuinely, thankful for that post and maybe the most important social network I’m a part of: Hacker News.

This is a typo right: "macOS dominance declines”? Or clickbait maybe? It doesn’t seem like macOS from its lowest figure mentioned in the article (~15%) to its highest (~21%) dominates. It seems like the room for growth for both Linux

In terms of publishing by email … HEY by 37 Signals has a feature where each user has world.hey.com/username blogs based on emails from username@hey.com sent to world@hey.com … very easy low friction publishing. This has subscriptions

Interesting. People with older hardware might not be able to run new software or process data at the same speed or efficiency as people with the latest hardware.

This is great, although I wish the new mobile app they’ve alluded to was a higher priority (but I realize that’s being greedy). Arc isn’t for everybody but if it “clicks” which requires getting over a somewhat steep learning curve it is gre

Prices just have to be consistent so as long as most scams stay in that price range? But would love to see that rejection: “This scam is underachieving and will be blocked until the price exceeds $300.”

New car. Small car. Expensive car. And, electric car. I don’t think this is entirely an electric vehicle issue. Interest rates and high prices for small cars seems bad enough. If the specs were the same & it was gas even at a slightl

Forbes can write an article about anything. I wonder who scrutinizes the usefulness & relevancy. If this sort of article with a clickbait title is approved, it seems like their overall credibility would take a hit at some point. We all

Yes, this is pretty interesting: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO... … with links to 174 submodules. But for the uninitiated, this might appear as nothing.

As Google products go, this seems very lightly branded. Just the monotone G logo at the bottom. I’m sure they’re not hiding or shying away from ownership but this seems unusual. Also, if Apple did something like this, maybe not web-based

You can’t please all of the people any of the time. Arc is great in its rethinking of several aspects of how we’ve come to believe a browser should work. Bookmarks, because of the way Arc archives tabs, are very different in Arc … but no
