Glad to see they're starting to implement permalinks to the scans of individual devices. Looking forward to going back and seeing old scans!

Can't recommend Little Snitch enough, been using it for 7-8 years now. Extremely useful to prevent any unencrypted connections on wifi you don't trust (which I also used to prevent unencrypted connections when I'm in countrie

They don't even need to read HN, I'm wondering if they even use the thing at all ! Same goes for pretty much all of their software...

Same here. I'm really looking forward to the tell-all book in a decade or two about what really went on with Siri and why it's still so so bad. Not asking for miracles or "general-purpose AI" here, just decent speed, dep

While I don't agree with parent's declaration of all MacBooks being toys, that battery drain issue while being plugged in definitely did happen. Couldn't find a source for it just now, though. It used to happen on my 15"

I think what you're describing is the SingStar game on PS3 :D We used to play it a lot with friends. Truly fun.

I'm curios in what state the US' manufacturing (chips, displays or otherwise) capabilities would be had Apple invested that USD $250-odd billion (as alleged on that "secret deal" article) in the US rather than in China.

You can easily find sources with a simple Google search. I searched for "myocarditis risk of covid vs covid vaccine" and the second organic result is from Nature [1] and states: > Previous research co-authored by Balicer found

Indeed. These sorts of discussions always reminds me of Penn & Teller's 'Bullshit!' episode on vaccines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhk7-5eBCrs

My completely uninformed, wild guess: the manufacturing plants capable of creating those are creating other wires that are more in demand / profitable for them, rather than these cheap ones.

Also, recently, FBI "hacked" in to Exchange servers that were vulnerable (with court authorization) to patch them [1], so it does happen. But I agree with your sentiment that it doesn't happen as often as it should. The publi

Same thing happened some number of years ago with Turkey and its ID database. The Turkish IDs have a "national ID number" (assigned to each citizen, is for life and is unchangeable) and a serial number for the ID itself. You need

I believe it was Ben Thompson who recently suggested that it's possible a platform like Facebook is fundamentally incompatible with human nature as well. Maybe, at least, incompatible with society as it exists today. I've been thi

Reminds me of Élan School [1] and how kids (under 18) can be abducted with the permission of their parents and put in confinement for dubious behavioral benefits, against their wishes – sometimes with the help of the judicial system. The ro

It's not just unpopular, it's also wrong: when you use drugs, you are almost entirely harming yourself (leaving aside funding all sorts of illegal activities, just focusing on the act itself). When you propagate CSAM material, you

I suspect a bit of causation-correlation mixup whenever this topic comes up. I have the feeling that the reason why they don't need much punitive measures is because they have so many social safety nets that erase the need to commit cr

Disclaimer: no education in biotechnology or vaccines, just an observer who likes to nerd out on information and think about them. My understanding is that mRNA vaccines need a protein to target (since mRNAs make cells produce proteins). Wh
