Maybe this has been mentioned already, but they seem to have some special integration with the Google Assistant. As far as I know there are currently no alternatives that allow you to e.g. perform a web request for any arbitrary voice comma

Apparently it's pretty difficult to make a keyboard that works correctly, because in case you're wondering whether to go for a Dell instead: they have similar key repeating issues on various (high end) laptop models.

The party host is not using bcc because he/she wants everyone to be aware of who has been invited to the party. I guess it boils down to your default usage of email; I've never had an email client before Inbox that does 'repl

Been thinking of switching back from Inbox to Gmail for one single annoying and IMO stupid design decision: if there are multiple recepients for the email the main reply button will by default perform a reply all. Had me look like a dork a

So how about this: the influencers on Snapchat are all recording themselves most of the time. These glasses did nothing to help with that particular and most popular use case. I feel really weird for being the first to bring this up, it s

With regard to the debounce issue, if you're running Ubuntu you can use dconf to set the slow keys timeout to a few ms (set slow keys to true as well) which will prevent basically all spurious extra keypresses. The theory being that yo

I have the skylake precision 5510; it also has the keyboard debounce issue, and it hasn't been fixed. Contacted Dell, had the keyboard replaced but that hasn't helped. I don't have faith in their ability to fix this - it&#x27

A word of warning for those interested in this machine or the 15 inch version: there are issues with the keyboard resulting in double characters when typing fast [1]. I have the precision 5510 (basically an XPS 15) and have the same issue,

Recently bought a Dell Precision M5510 that comes with Ubuntu preinstalled. Aside from the various linux-specific issues I noticed characters sometimes appearing twice when typing on the keyboard (external keyboard works just fine). A quick

I see talk of Spectacles being Snapchat's next big thing. However, 90% of the time the popular Snapchat users are filming themselves. Not what they're seeing. So what good would Spectacles be for them?

If I understand it correctly, CETA would have resulted in too much power for (big) Canadian corporations. So it's a good thing the trade agreement hasn't been ratified, correct?

We wouldn't have a way of reaching you to tell you about things that happened in the group. Also, it would result in a lot of anonymous users joining the HN-group. Or would you be fine with us just asking for your name?

Yeah it's a busy app for sure; lots of things to do (did you take a look at the plugin store?) and discover - and I agree: some of it could use some more love with regard to design. We wanted a playful look for the app, hence its color
