Likewise! Been running the snap version on a $5 DO droplet for half a year now and there's been nothing making me want to go back. Sure the UX can be improved a bit, but it's been rock solid so far and gets the job done.

I got another one for you! It's 2019, and Office for Windows still uses Internet Explorer to render add-ins built with OfficeJS. This is slated to be switched to Edge (regular edge, not the Chromium-based build) with Windows 1903 and a

This supports what I've always wanted in a markdown note taking app... being able to directly copy and paste an image from the clipboard.

We don't live in that time period anymore. Our current Era is tough in its own ways, without people like you invalidating someone else's troubles. Done be a one-upper.

I'm annoyed how the author never actually explained what Corium was. Just described it as "the most toxic substance" and hoped readers would go along with the ride thinking it's some new material. All it is is an amalgam

And I'm sure that Apple or Samsung could rebrand and have that become the fastest growing smartphone. The Pixel line is literally a new name for the same Nexus line, which was stagnant for years. Forbes is cancer.

Then don't buy an iPhone? I don't understand why people keep bringing up this point. Yes, it's your phone but it's not your app store. One can use an iPhone without ever opening the app store.

I am. I'd suggest getting a Pixel or other Android device if Apple's privacy stance bothers you. They will act on behalf of the consumer, regardless if you feel like "but it's my phone!". Yes, it's your phone.

“He said he went up to a police officer and they didn’t help him. So, then he called me." This is my case with most police officers I've encountered in my area. One isn't going to be taken seriously unless you have informatio

Not sure how I feel about MS hijacking 7-10GB of a system as a “reserved space” to download Windows updates to. I mean, if that’s what they need to do to get Windows Updates to function with any degree of reliability then their OS is truly

Almost every one of your paragraphs had some form of "don't ask me, look it up". Doesn't make a very compelling argument.

Looks like Google is finally discovering they are just a SCUMMY advertising company and shouldn't be building consumer products that don't directly feed into that advertising.

They are scapegoats. The person who ordered the murder, commonly believed to be the Crown Prince, isn't going to face a thing.

In my anecdotal experience from growing up in California's Central Valley, not one person I knew who became a cop _wanted_ to become a cop. It was always their last "honorable" job choice. As such, they aren't mentally p

Starting to become a bit annoying how orgmode is immediately linked whenever a notes app is posted on HN. Emacs is a beast of a program in the same way Vim is. One has to sit down, bear through the pain, and force themself to be slow as hel

Powershell Core has allowed me to do 90% of the Office 365 administration I need to do from MacOS and has reduced my time in a Windows VM substantially. Very happy that Microsoft is making this effort.

10%? I don't think any scooter (via a share company) will have the torque needed to get up at a reasonable speed. It appears the Xiomi M365 had a rated motor of 250W with a max of 500W. I cycle with a power meter, and going up a 10% gr

Two years? That's it? The iPhone 6 has been getting both feature and security updates for about 4 years, with the EOL not being for another year or two. Google needs to do better.

"As part of that effort, Google says it’s “pausing” work on its most recent entry into the messaging space, Allo." Oh hey look, another app Google is going to neglect and then abandon. What a surprise. /s
