I’d say the previous title was good since it’s probably what the submitter wanted to show and not the existence of the tool itself. I didn’t even click the link because I knew about it, but if I saw the previous title it’d have piqued my interest.
Edit: typo
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoMaybe a typo, the word you want is piqued: pique - verb (piques, piquing, piqued) 1 [ with obj. ] arouse (interest or curiosity).
- outime 8y agoFixed, thank you!
- sctb 8y agoI hear you, but that's just not how this particular site works. Here it's “original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait”, which is a fundamental quality. A link aggregator with editorialized titles would simply be a different thing. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- MikusR 8y agoBut in this case the original title "Intel Power Gadget" is more misleading than the "Intel Pulls MacOS Version of Power Gadget".
- pvg 8y agoIt's Intel's page about Power Gadget. Its title 'Intel Power Gadget' is not at all misleading. When you click on it, you don't end up on a page about beekeeping.
- falsedan 8y agoIt’s misleading since the newsworthy context has been removed for the sake of pedantic rule adherence.
- pvg 8y ago'Misleading' is not a synonym for 'I don't like the rules'. Using it like that is misleading.
- falsedan 8y agoI don’t understand what relevance your definition has to this discussion. If I wanted to comment that I don’t like the rule, I would have said so. Please don’t lazily impose your lack of understanding on other people’s comments and listen in good faith to accept they genuinely have a point and try to understand it.
- dragonwriter 8y agoIf the intent was to focus on the news, linking to the download page which doesn't even mention the need except that one can kind of Uber it from the dead link and updated date, is a mistake. Looking to a news article about them pulling it threat provides context would be a better idea, like: https://9to5mac.com/2018/07/21/intel-power-gadget-mac-removed/ https://9to5mac.com/2018/07/21/intel-power-gadget-mac-remove...
