It would be crossing a line for us to ban or penalize sites in response to complaints about the back button. In this particular instance, it works fine for me on Chrome. When I test it in Safari, I can see the same behaviour that people are

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https:/&#x2F

WTF? Please don't fantasize about building concentration camps or use vile terms of derision on HN. The guidelines make it clear we're trying for something better here, and we have to ban accounts that do this repeatedly. No matte

Almost every comment I can see from this account is a brief, snarky swipe, lacking any substance nor even a period at the end of the sentence, which is a hallmark of low-effort participation. It's honestly hard to know if these comment

People have always complained about HN being too snarky, or snarkier than it used to be. Comments like this don't help; they just compound the snark!

There will always be a range of views about whether an article is good or not; there's no universal definition of “low quality submission”. HN’s ethos is to surface content that “gratifies intellectual curiosity”. Often we only really

We just need you to observe the guidelines, no matter the topic or no matter how much it seems justifiable to overlook them in a particular case. They've been largely constant for nearly 20 years, and HN only continues to be a place wh

Please don't post shallow dismissals or focus on trivialities. Let's focus on the substance of the project. It's a good sign that an early stage project hasn't devoted a lot of time or cost into their logo.

Fair enough, thanks for the reply and for understanding. I can understand that must be frustrating. I actually think another benefit of AI is that it can make it more realistic for people to self-educate and get further towards getting devi

It’s a low move to suggest that I would ban you over a substantive disagreement in a discussion. I wouldn’t last a day in this job if I misused power like that. > If you made the PCB then you should be well placed to fix issues with it.

I don’t know why you need to be snarky. I’ve been living this for over a decade with engineers with decades of experience who have done some of the most advanced electronics work imaginable (satellites, military drones). To test and rework

Yes, you can learn PCB design “in a month”, design your board and get a batch of prototypes made up by JLCPCB. All of that takes 2-3 months absolute minimum. Then you have to test the boards. You need a lot of costly equipment and expertise
