Yeah, far be it for me to expect a 2.76 TRILLION dollar company to actually innovate within a single year. My apologies for having such expectations. And my brain is the one rotted. Okay. I love how downvotes are used here to punish thos

Whatever I please. It's irrelevant what I may use it or not use it for. The point is that the technology now is far past USB 2 (and has been for some time despite Apple's persistence on using Lightning with such slower speeds) an

So the only compelling reason to upgrade from the 14 is...USB-C, where people are saying the 15 (non-Pro) runs at USB2 speeds? This was one of the most lackluster Apple launches in recent memory. I long for the day when Apple actually inno

I did. Right after Musk took over. Doesn’t mean I can’t also have an opinion on the matter.

I love how this is justified by "everyone is doing it so it's okay." That's the bandwagon fallacy and I don't buy it. Twitter (I will not call it X, because that's just stupid), is free to attempt to change th

Occam’s razor would suggest he’s simply incompetent.

With some of the best acting in both Andreas Katsulas and Peter Jurasik, the character development, and the various production woes, I’d say it’s a pretty great series, too. But we can all agree “TKO” was just plain awful. Right?

So it's a tutorial where the goal is to be able to take a screenshot, post to Reddit, and feel cool. There are a few pieces of good information, but it's for people learning Linux (how to install, run a package manager, etc), not

You'll find, as I have, that laptops and Linux distributions/DEs don't always play well together (lid closing/reopening, suspend/hibernate, keyboard backlight, function key alternate media controls, trackpad, etc).

That is just normally how it works, at least in a browser, has nothing to do with this app.

No, it isn't good. Despite what some on the political spectrum try to say, the Internet has become a basic human right. It is required in schools in America. In many cases, it is required to even interact with certain government enti

Thanks for posting this. I was not inclined to respond after already providing information that he could have viewed when time afforded him. Here's hoping he has time to read a Wikipedia article instead of having people do the work f

If you haven't yet seen this video, please do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pTEmbeENF4 (Bret Victor The Future of Programming) This won't tell you who he is, exactly, but it does give insight into how he think

Hopefully this will drive businesses off the platform and Twitter will become a thing of the past causing billions being lost by Musk and anyone else who think his idiocy was good for the platform.

Then Reddit can and should charge that to the user directly. Not screw over app developers like this. Perhaps you should read Christian’s post on Reddit [1] where he described, in detail, what this truly means and how he was effectively li

Well I know where I'm visiting soon! I used to see movies in that complex when I lived in Roswell. I'm still relatively close. Thanks for this information, had no idea!

Wow, you downvoters are harsh. Okay I learned my lesson not to assume someone has a phone or PC next to them and can simply flip a switch in a matter of 30 seconds. Cool.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm surprised it's taking this long, honestly. He's such an icon and major player in the history of the computer industry. Edit>> Though I suppose there's a confirmation process HN

And I want a better design with better out-of-the-box, turn-key support for both Outlook/Exchange and GMail for contacts, mail (with proper conversations/threading), and calendaring. The extensions are clunky, and it always takes

And in my day, if I recall correctly, it took a good dozen or so XML files to describe and configure a single EJB. Thanks, JOnAS. I still have hate in my heart. And now ORM in Java (with JPA) is a simple @Entity. Ahh, the warm, cozy feeli

I completely support thwarting monopolistic practices and even trying to prevent them from being possible. I just hope Blizzard can one day be completely divorced from Activision. Whether Microsoft is a better fit, I cannot say, but I do

All this does is point out that smart people worked at Twitter who may now no longer work there, whether on their own accord, or due to Elon’s bulldogging tactics. Elon thinks he knows what he’s doing, but what he is going to be left with a

First off I have hardware transcoding so that’s not an issue. Second, all of my 1080p direct stream to my AppleTV and do not transcode. I changed no default settings for this. As for remote users, it doesn’t seem to impact them either way

I suppose I understand the reasons people prefer Jellyfin. But on the small chance of liking a commercial product, Plex is truly dead simple for my parents. They have an AppleTV. They signed up. I share it with them via their registered

I love the fact they have a Windows client now. However, I cannot seem to get back my side-by-side email view. I prefer to see my list of email headers vertically, and then when clicking one, I see the email to the right. Now they have so

And, as evident in the video, its considerable overuse. I cringed watching this every time she said it beyond the first few times.

Mine is the opening to Tron: Legacy. But Hackers is a good one as well.
