My argument is primarily that if somebody is looking to infect users, are they going to target the 86%, or the 13%? Macs have benefited for years by largely not being targeted by the majority of malware developers. If mobile devices open th

Market share is an appreciable concern here. Macs haven't been more than 20% of the market for a long time. iPhones are a much larger market share, especially among affluent users. I don't think we'd see any widespread viru

It's 50% magic, and 50% actually caring about the product. PC laptops are a race to the bottom because the only way they can sell laptops are by advertising their specs on Best Buy counters or Amazon pages. Review that average consumer

That is not protected speech. The 'attack' is the keyword. Therefore, supremacist groups typically say "<oarabbus_'s ethnicity> is destroying <oarabbus_'s country of residence>" which is legal. They

Generational groups aren't exclusively marketing buckets. They're a useful (if rough) description of a set of people within an age group, that's more useful than solely marketing.

Videos at 1x speed seems to be a very naive approach. Only viewing videos detected/reported with copyright claim would be a more sensible approach, as that is where nearly all of youtube's issues lie. Even putting a few hundred pe

They're saying crap because they're not referring to a Xiaomi phone or vacuum cleaner. They're referring to the 'Xiaonni Vacuum 3800' that's $5 in parts, sold for $500, because people confuse it with the one yo

Comparing a US presidential election with Russia's system is not solving the problem. Baldness is intimidating, while most US elections hinge on a bit of friendly charismatic attractiveness. Nobody is saying that bald people can't

It's like this on most issues on HN. Some of them benefit from a larger following (Animal cruelty, politics in your community), while others will simply be useless without government involvement to shut down the offenders. The only thi

Speedrunning is primarily done manually. Some players use fuzzers for discovering tech, but TAS is a separate genre of speedrun and generally more of a novelty than anything.

The general reason they're well liked is that they have deep and well thought out world building, while also being fairly fantastical. Characters aren't entirely realistic and sometimes parts of the books can drag, but they'r

The thought would be that they don't want to do any architecture shifts before they bring it all over to their own ARM chips. And AMD still doesn't really deal with laptop processors.

I think this is more of a Youtube issue than a music issue. I can't imagine Youtube Music is going to exist for long, given that 90% of the GPM subscribers I've talked to would rather swap to spotify than use YTM.

And in an older company, you might find that u3 has left the company and handed it off to u4, who has touched the code just as much as you have.

Interesting. I've never received a spam call from the same number twice. They just pick something with the same first 3 digits and area code.

The vast vast majority of laptop users still have USB A peripherals. Apple was a decade too early (to their detriment) going full USB C. They're helping the USB C ecosystem, at the cost of dongle hell for their users.

I would have thought this too, but most of them are reporting that they can no longer hold paper clips or other small metal objects. It has to be either quality issues, or some third cause.

Do you have a better guide to this? The model seems to be infinitely thin, which makes it unprintable in all the slicers I've tried.

I've really enjoyed using https://www.googleplaymusicdesktopplayer.com/ for desktop. Its just an Electron App but it seems to add a few extra features that make it much nicer to use.

It's 100% factually accurate. After hours trading is down 10%, and drops in revenue were announced. How was it biased?

It's almost as if Snapchat is a direct reaction to the permanency of social media. Once schools/parents started teaching kids to be careful online, they moved to a service where it isn't as much of an issue.

Currently procrastinating on a project using Xinu at Purdue. Some of the systems are dead basic, which makes it really great as a teaching tool.
