I’m a gun owner, but I’d rather start saving lives now rather than doing nothing while theorizing about all the ridiculous things that could happen.

Depends what your definitions of "requires" and "full" are. On mine there's some nagging on the scale of once every tens to hundreds of seconds if it thinks I'm not paying attention. You're willingly livin

That's pretty much exactly my organization, instead of a big box I split them into smaller tubs. USB is further divided via labeled bags into USB A->C, USB C, Lightning, and "misc". On top of those I have a R/C car ba

I love this, thank you for this write-up. A breath of fresh air amidst the pervasive negativity here. I’m going to buy the game to play coop with my sister and then when my kids are old enough I’ll do a coop play through with them as well.

If I went by the prevailing sentiment on HN/reddit, I wouldn't have: worked at FAANGs, bought Teslas and used FSD, had kids, bought a Bambu 3d printer, used Apple products, stayed in America to start a family, and so on. Each of t

FSD 14 lite, which is now available for the HW3 (~2019-2023) Teslas, is surprisingly good. I have a HW3 and HW4, and while HW3 isn't as confident and competent as HW4, it's good enough that I don't mind it anymore. My wife wa

There’s a difference between on-topic discussions relevant to the post and “discussions” that veer off into the same emotional tribal rants that we see constantly now. We try to ignore it but the constant negativity and “us vs them” is not

Yeah I’m gonna have to go ahead and push back on this. It’s getting worse and trending towards Reddit and using that guideline to tell people to stop talking about it is making things worse. We need to shame and downvote and flag the Reddit

At what point did Claude fail with that, generating a list of events from the scan, or adding the events to the calendar? I had a different AI (Grok) successfully take a prompt like "I live at this address and need to pick up my son fr

Sounds like you need a lifestyle guru to troubleshoot why your current lifestyle is making you envious of someone else's lifestyle.

People who can afford to spend a bit extra to make things easier tend to do so. When you have money, time becomes your most valuable commodity.

If you read this and the feeling you came away with was "this rich guy is boasting", that's a reflection of your own envy. A mentally healthy, content person is capable of reading about cool things like this and not immediate

That may be true and bonus points for successfully managing to connect it back to everyone’s favorite subject, American politics. There’s a place for it and it’s the news where I can consume it when I feel like it. Not the application laun

Was fixing something on my dad’s computer and the start menu was featuring some story like “10 children swept away by floodwaters to their deaths” in some faraway country. What a terrible vibe to start the day with. Sensational news has no

The post seems like a poorly disguised political rant “I don’t like the US, I don’t like the rich” with the license change being an excuse to post it to a technical forum.

I was in school around that time and I always had a graphing calculator in class and most of the time in standardized tests, AP tests, etc. It was basically just math competitions that wouldn't allow it. The graphing functionality was

Sounds a lot like my life. Agree with all of this. People were flabbergasted when I told them I was retiring “you’ll be so bored!” “What will you DO with all that time?”. I’m busier now than I was while I was working because I can actually

American here, it seems to vary by location. I walked to school as a grade school student (Midwest) and where I live now (Orange county, California) I regularly see swarms of kids biking to school. This particular situation seems ridiculous

Needs special toothpaste and rinse, both of which Dyson will conveniently sell you. Don’t know if it’s actually good or not, but it seems everyone wants in on the subscription model.

Also they say they will continue to show Firefox’s sponsored links and ads. So, they’ll continue to show first party ads and google’s ads? And likely they won’t be able to keep up with meta’s anti ad blocking. That’s most ads on the interne

I’m doing it right now. It does pause when you switch away from safari but you swipe down to get the control center and then resume play.

Strange that someone else’s question “Did it reduce catalytic converter theft?”, directly relevant to the article, got downvoted to death. Not sure if we’re meant to have discussions here or just dutifully complain about topics that are fas

Pretty sure this is a joke but you never quite know, given that HN is infamous for these "javascript programmer applies his smarts to something that's not javascript" moments.

LAN mode works well with home assistant and some HACS Bambu integration. Takes some setup but then you get real time camera feed and all the nice sensors for temp, humidity, including any AMS you have. I connected mine to Bambu server for t

There is something not right with many Seattle-area residents. Some weird combination of anger issues, low self-esteem, and terrible driving skills. I moved to SoCal earlier this year and have seen much less rage and incompetence on the roa

If someone’s forcing society to pay for their living expenses, it only seems fair for society to force them to labor to cover the expenses. I’m sure the next objection will be “what, so you’re going to concentrate them in some kind of camp?

Easy to get there without doing anything abnormal, 2 EVs and a large 5 bedroom house that gets air conditioned / heated, in a location that does time of use pricing. My bill is closer to $200/mo but if I didn’t have solar & ba

It’s done wonders for my free time and mood by deleting my Reddit account and restricting HN to toilet time. Instead of reading rage bait American news I do a daily scan of BBC. All those are sources of negativity and stress that bring noth
