I wonder, at the risk of turning HN to a Reddit clone, wouldn't it make sense to at least a have a few simple categories/tags here? Seems to me most people want to filter HN on "purely tech", "tech-adjacent news&quo

This lines up with mine as well. My HDDs fail more often than SSDs, but when they do it’s a painful slow death that shows itself in SMART and affords me days if not weeks. Out of 5 SSDs I had only one fail, and that one worked perfectly wel

Not really. Right/Left labeling is silly in general so it's hard to explain in those terms, but Turkish military is and has been anything but Left. You could maybe call them reformist, secular authoritarians, in opposition of reli

I know it's perhaps a silly thing to nitpick on, but the general look of Switch 2 with its darker, Steam Deck-ish joycons don't look as fun as the first one to me. Current Switch with the neon blue/red joycons had its own cha

Adding another datapoint: My iPhone 11 is 3 years old (from Apple Center brand new) and battery is already at 73%, prompting me to replace it. Phone costed me 600€, replacement after recent Apple price hike costs another 100€. I’m already c

Not to gatekeep it, but having played all HL games on PC and Alyx on VR, I don't see this PC conversion being a meaningful experience. It's mainly because of the restrictions of different mediums, for example Alyx has much less en

Since most VR experiences are immersive and take up your entire view, you barely see the OS other than first time setting it up and then launching apps. Would be nice if it was better, I don’t see it as a “huge downside” as you do though.

I wonder how that'll play out in this case, since everything uploaded here expires at maximum 3 days. Maybe they can "handle" abuse reports by simply auto-responding in 3 days that it is now removed.

So they basically reinvented taxi again, with the added captive audience factor coming from abusing the platform.

Not the OP but I’m surprised you are surprised this much. In our 2-person family there are times where me and my wife spend an entire evening, sometimes even a full day or two independently doing whatever hobbies we have. We both appreciate

I don’t think that’s the real solution. To be able to come up with a solution you’d first need to be aware of a problem, which in many such cases you wouldn’t be, until one day you are banned and lose all your accounts, and solutions in hin
