I think that's only for the Wi-Fi printing. The HP smart app is terrible and makes you sign up for features that work on a local network. I just visit my printer's internal web server with a desktop user agent to show the "

Linux builds are nice, but they are a ton of work. It basically doubles the workload testing for PC, which is already complex due to the thousands of hardware configurations out there. It's one of a few reasons why Nvidia GeForce Now

This is a really severe heist, but the latter part of your comment seems rather dramatic. Crypto is still generally not a medium of exchange, and most users are still speculative investors. Most of these investors have a hedge (or are usi

I think this design should be comfortable for lefties too. On my Xperia 5 II, it's more comfortable to reach the right-sided fingerprint sensor and buttons when using my left hand.

After confirming your country, there should be a popup along the bottom right of the window (at least if you are in the US): "This product is not yet available for purchase. To receive a text message when it's available & othe

It slightly degrades some experiences, so I see why it's disabled by default. Disabling JIT JavaScript is going to make web browsing more painful. And incoming friend requests are useful because it simplifies things when two people a

Google removed the install-time permissions dialog because they replaced it with runtime permissions. This makes sense - some users wants PayPal or WhatsApp to access their contact list, and others won't. It also fixes "permissi

HEC isn't a concern because it's disconnected in any computer, and unsupported by home theater devices that support eARC. Here's my comment explaining more: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31830551

HEC uses separate pins that are disconnected with this firewall.

No, the HEC pins are probably disconnected in any modern computer/dGPU. Background: HEC uses 3 pins. Those pins can be used for 3 different protocols: HEC (100Mbps differential signal slightly modified from the Ethernet standard)(1),

I think there's a few obvious responses to your comment. First of which is that switching jobs is not as easy as you make it sound, even in the tech industry. There's still a lot of effort that must be put into interviewing and i

I agree. A good GUI can be all things for all users. Keyboard shortcuts can be unknown to a user when they need it the most, and accidentally triggered by a clumsy novice user who could damage their system configuration. Apple's com

I've seen this issue in a slightly different context. A few years ago, my Android phone began dying much more quickly than before. Looking at the built-in battery stats, nothing was amiss and there were no apps causing excessive wake

From what I know, GM Super Cruise is unrelated to Cruise LLC. GM has been developing Super Cruise on their own since 2013, and the system relies on a forward-facing camera and 3 radars (front and blind spots) to navigate the road. It links

Most technology is a double-edged sword. Front-facing cameras on phone are immensely useful for video calls and impromptu portraits, but in event of software compromise, can disclose a lot of info. Cell networks revolutionized communicati

Mercedes had a version of this called a "haptic pedal" in their previous gen C-Class PHEV. It would provide a small bump of resistance before you engaged the gas engine. It also would gently push back when it saw the car ahead w

As someone who grew up in Elk Grove since 2001 and still visits every few months, it's an example of both NIMBY and YIMBY policies. It seems Elk Grove's city hall followed NIMBY tendencies and zoned many areas as RD-5 or worse, p

Increased density could help with packaging. You can already see this with the Lucid Air, which has a very deep frunk and trunk, as well as deep footwells. The Air also has full-size interior volume but with the vehicle length of a mid-si

If there's an SLA or reputation to uphold, probably, and otherwise they probably won't. So big AWS customers with SLAs will probably get compensation. And Amazon dot com customers that complain might get some compensation.

I think the flashing lights and appearance might degrade autopilot. Other cars also have issues because they use radar (except for some new models with camera-based systems like the 2022 Honda Civic) and ignore stationary targets when they

Unfortunately many cars are already running Android for their infotainment (notable Hyundai/Kia/Genesis and Honda), have Wi-Fi and cellular connections, and never get updated. From this point, securing infotainment systems (such

I like Jottacloud. Quasi-unlimited storage (realistically up to 5 TB without issue) and a small but long-running company. Bonus points for BSD and Linux clients. https://www.jottacloud.com/en/pricing.html
