I think that might be overestimating the technical prowess of HN readers on the whole. Sure, it doesn't require wizardry to set up e.g. Unbound as a catch-all DoT forwarder, but it's not the click'n'play most people requ

Could you show a citation? Your statement completely opposes Quad9's official information as published on quad9.net, and what's more it doesn't align at all with Bill Woodcock's known advocacy for privacy.

The on-board storage of their MacBooks is as much, if not more, driven by their design vision. They didn't make these things record thin to get an excuse to use surface-mounted RAM and storage. I don't agree with it, but I underst

Same with the guy half-joking about Chinese malicious implants. Because of course China would never engage in espionage. It's interesting to note that he/she got downvoted a lot harder.

Contrary to popular belief, you can run many different off-the-shelf brand NVMe drives on all of the NVMe-fitted Intel Macs. All you need is a passive adapter. My 2017 MacBook Air has a 250GB WD Blue SN570 in it. https://forums

Putting the new one through an equal amount of use that the old one saw, because SSD controller firmware is unpredictable and many SSDs see reduced performance with time.

I don't think lazy questions deserve ire. One always has the option of spending 10 seconds simply helping someone , instead of spending 30 seconds on insults. He invariably gave everyone the full 40 seconds.

No reason to not say it plainly: he was regularly a total dickhead to people asking for help. But, also, he always gave people first-class expert help. They just had to "pay" by taking a bit of verbal abuse. I spent over a decade

The list is missing a handful of true pioneers in electro-acoustic and electronic music. I'm not thinking about composers of popular synthesizer music, which don't really fit this specific list, but people like Henk Badings, Tom D

That's a depressingly shallow knee-jerk-y way of reasoning around something so fantastically open as the Internet... You're offering the deplorable solution of "let the money vote" instead of reason and restraint. The co

My stance is that common connectivity shouldn't cost an additional $3.70 a month on top of already egregious traffic costs. The price per IP today is about $30. The lifetime of the investment is infinite and upkeep is in the grand sc

Has the goal post been moved enough now? The author shouldn't need to explain why a 350 MiB monster like Thunderbird isn't in their list of recommended options for making the move to basic plain-text email.
