   If I'm Apple, I just open the gates. I would be very surprised if they lose much "business" as a result, at least not for a very long time. I'd suspect most users aren't going to venture outside the garden.

   Rehoboam from Westworld is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear "supercomputer" now. What a terrible last season the show got!

   I don't intend to dispute your stance here, but I am interested in understanding a bit more about it. Do you mind giving an example and what the alternative(s) are?

   I second this, but Discover is a very close second. I've been a very happy Amex user for better part of a decade now.

   Safari was an early adopter of JPEG XL. In the past couple years, actually, the team at Apple responsible for Safari has been making inroads on features and spec work. Jen Simmons especially has been astounding, particularly with her engage

   NVGs are also typically designed to be attached to a kevlar (combat helmet).

   I wonder if a company like Anker will be able to release anything sooner rather than later to help extend device use on battery.

   For all its issues, I wouldn’t say iCloud syncing is one of them for Safari. I’ve had nothing but a good experience over the past couple years when it comes to syncing tabs, bookmarks and passwords.

    A lot of new HN accounts in the comments for this specific post, it appears, coming to bring real thoughtful discussion and meaningful votes.

    Then you have market fatigue for the user. After living in a world of Twitter where you can consume all the things you desire and discuss all those things in the same setting, very few people want to be jumping from app-to-app, website-to-w

    I'm a huge NFL fan, and Threads has already replaced X for NFL (and MLS) news for me. My team's beat writers have all already moved over to Threads.

    I've been a pretty frequent user since launch. It's really taken off in the past month or so, with news and sports. The NBA has replaced a lot of its court-side Twitter/X branding with Threads. There's also a very strong

    What do financial institutions where you live use to communicate TOTP codes? Here in the states, it's almost entirely TOTP codes over SMS (via a shortcode).

    I don't know if I have ever received an iMessage spam, and I have 6 addresses associated (5 emails, 1 phone number). SMS I get spam almost daily.

    It is still ridiculously easy to spoof a number. I'm on Verizon with the enhanced caller ID, and it happens consistently on a weekly basis.

    Ah nice! And looking further, it appears their U6-Enterprise and U6-Enterprise-IW both support 2.5GbE uplinks.

    This is my biggest knock against Ubiquiti at the moment. They have no real solutions in the 2.5GbE/10GbE market.

    Yes. I have 5 in (and outside) my house, and they've been nearly flawless in the ~7 years I've had them installed.

    I don't disagree, but since buying the UDM-Pro years ago, I feel like the software has gotten great. And recently, they've baked in Wireguard replacing L2TP. Personally, I'd like to see more prosumer devices that support 2.5G

    ChatGPT is a single input with a submit button. An app being boring and it also being useful aren't mutually exclusive. But you're naive to think the app itself is an exemplary example of an application for the platform. And your

    I might be in the minority here, but I agree with their decision. If you're judging purely on the app, it's not surprising. The app itself is about as basic as they come. On the Apple side, AllTrails won, and it's deserving o

    I gave Orion a serious try a few weeks ago, and it was very promising. But I ended up having to abandon it due to 1Password not working. I'll likely revisit it soon, when there's hopefully been some more fixes and improvements.

    Given it is your email that is being used, that should allow for you to take over the account(s)? I'd submit a password reset, change the password, then just allow the account to live a dormant life. That of course doesn't make it

    Multiple passkeys backed by different sources (password manager, iCloud, Yubikey, etc.) can serve as a backup in the case you lost access to your password manager, for example. If a service provides the option for more than one passkey, I a
