That’s all forums in a nut shell. Any time you read about something you’re not personally familiar with it’s “look at all these people who know what they’re talking about… “, as soon as it’s something you are personally familiar with it’s

That’s how all “estimated damages” work. It’s all just made up by some random person who guesstimated a number then multiplied it by the maximum possible people effected, realistic or not.

I built my own personal system for this as part of a custom “meal planning” app on my family intranet. Send a link of a random recipe to it (or a photo from your phone) and it strips out the ingredients and instructions and adds it to our o

Sony got my domain registrar to transfer my domain to them without a single email or notice to me whatsoever. I had been using it since the late 90s or early 2000s when you still had to apply and renew via paper forms, and they said (accord

They do ship directly to AU: https://www.xteink.com/ I way prefer ePaper over reading on my phone so I have both the x3 and the x4 and love both. The x3 is so small it sticks to my phone via the charging magnet on the back

I’ve owned a lot of Gopro cameras, having done video capture for a variety of motorsports, and they just got too expensive for what you get. You can be more expensive if you’re better, or you can be worse if you’re cheaper, but they’re bo

Stop using Telstra then. There’s an abundance of NBN resellers who sell better packages for cheaper than Telstra. At this point Telstra is just for old people who don’t want to change the services they’ve always been with.

If a site like this isn’t using your browser to mine bitcoin I’d be incredibly disappointed.

This is the sloppiest slop that has slopped onto HN in a while. The amount of this type of crap getting upvoted lately makes me think HN is probably getting a bot-vote problem like reddit has. I can’t imagine HN members actually upvoting th

I’ve owned half a dozen printers (Prusa, Bambu, and Creality) and help manage a hackerspace with a print farm of mixed brands, and I won’t personally touch any brand other than Prusa now for actually getting prints done. There’s plenty of o

I find it completely unreadable and give up within a paragraph or 2 every single time. I say that as someone who uses LLMs daily too, and isn't a hater of them. Nothing wrong with using an LLM to help come up with content wording or to

This is brilliant, I love it. The absolute best projects ever posted here are the ones made for no other reason than “just because I wanted to”.

What issues do you have? I use Inkscape on Mac almost every day and lately hit very few bugs. I think a lot of them have been fixed in the last year or so. It used to be almost unusable with all the UI bugs (can't close tabs when you o

I'll have to see if I can get this working with our vevor vinyl plotter, as ink cut hasn't worked for a long time now and there doesn't seem to be any way to use the aliexpress/vevor vinyl plotters without paid proprieta

EETree LLC seems to be a shell company owned by EETree Info & Tech Limited in China ( https://www.eetree.cn ). I'm not sure what that means as far as payment processing etc, apparently sellers were all cut off with money

The prices I’ve seen mentioned are around USD$3-5 per “pixel”. Similar to all the ePaper projects that show up here, they’re expensive but cool gimmicks.

Yes, because a majority just use a CSS framework to save time, and all the big/common frameworks have put a fair bit of effort into their default colours and typography. I would rather go back to when all side projects used Bootstrap t

People get wobbly legs after spending a few days on a cruise ship at sea. I would assume spending 10 days in zero G is orders of magnitude more chaotic for your motor skills.

It’s SO bad. It makes me not want to use my phone anymore and physically go get my laptop if I’m chatting/messaging someone. It’s probably the worst typing experience I’ve had since resistive-touch screens on PDAs. At least with them y

That's very cool. I have a few ePaper picture frames that don't use any power, and when you tap your phone to them it uses the power-over-NFC to boot itself and update the photo you send to it. It's such a cool idea and somet

Technically you could use a keyboard with any modern phone, so it’s not “wrong”, it’s just… extremely unlikely anyone would ever do it.
