Who said physical buttons cannot be mixed with voice input? Most physical buttons these days are just an interface to the CAN bus, where the function is performed (in software) in the BCM and can easily interface with the voice module. &quo

The article is about authenticating to a Wi-Fi captive portal. So not only is a VPN irrelevant, as everyone has already pointed out and you continue to ignore, it wouldn't even work.

Yes exactly like that. You'll notice the Ford Transit EV still retains the traditional mechanical key, and also features a simple locking glove box that works off the same key. But why do that when you could make the glove box electron

It's pretty clear whoever designed this toy has never driven an actual cargo van or done any blue collar work in their life. That Tesla-style touchscreen for starters. I give it 3-6 weeks before it's shattered or fails. The look

I'd wager that rotary phone can dial 911 unlike a Google Pixel. Constantly evolving UI thought experiments are largely responsible for the sorry state of software today. Maybe the new-hires need a healthy dose of shut-up-and-listen, an

It's a bit naïve to seriously think this story has anything to do with nudes. The real story was about corruption at the highest levels of government, selling influence, etc. The crack rocks and related pornographic content were a conv

Why would you "routinely flag Twitter threads" if they are not obvious spam, dupes, or egregiously off-topic? You are not a guest curator. There is a reason you cannot downvote submissions on HN and the flag button is not a substi

Lots of people talking about ToS as if it's applied consistently and without bias. Let's assume that the oft-storied "pee tapes" were real, published by a mainstream news outlet and posted to Twitter. Would those same in

"Corporate coders" is such a perfect, succinct phrase; the antithesis of what I remember from the early days of Linux. It's so well said it requires no further description.

The hacker culture of the 90s and 00s is dead. Many in the community now fully support censorship as long as it's of the opposing team. This would be unheard of 20 years ago.

Blocking DMs from sharing URLs to a mainstream news story is CCP-level censorship. I'd expect to read about this happening on WeChat, not here. Yet here we are.

There has been a cabal of activists that have been mass-reporting the Twitter app on both Apple and Google's app stores over the last week or so, alleging some dubious terms of service violation in an attempt to get it deplatformed. It

This reeks of dangerous propaganda at best derived from circumstantial evidence. Did everyone forget the AP nearly started WWIII a week ago because of a minor editing error? Yet the laptop which can't be mentioned was deemed misinforma

The act of publishing a poll on a very controversial subject may have been intentional. He alluded that the poll was attacked by bots, for which they likely collected large amounts of data. It's very possible he already made his mind u

Gonna disagree with you here. Musk is only doing with Twitter what Fark.com did over 20 years ago with TotalFark - you pay a small monthly fee for admission, and you get a shiny badge next to your username, along with a few perks. Just like
