The network infrastructure of the Internet barely takes more space than POTS did. And as for what’s on that network and actually using most of the datacenters, I personally don’t care for the Internet as it is today when compared against wh

They’re almost universally bad for communities so constituents don’t want their councils to approve them?. It’s as simple as that. Your town gets worse basically forever so the rich can get richer. Queue “hysteria”.

On most private trackers if you level up to Power User you unlock an invite forum where other trackers explicitly advertise with set requirements. No risky trading or begging, no need to participate in the forums at all, nobody “finds you”.

None of the major movie/tv trackers have onerous ratio requirements. But yeah you don’t need them for new mainstream releases. They’re only necessary if you’re particular on quality or want niche stuff. That said the experience is 1000

How does AI meaningfully improve the lives of average people? (Spoiler: it doesn’t) AI has already permanently changed the software development industry. That’s indisputable. Maybe it’ll also change many other industries. But what does it c

Tell me again how AI is a benefit to actual people?

I think you’ll find even people with 20 year old Toyotas are more attached to their trucks and more likely to put money in them for accessories and rims etc than your average Chevy Sonic owner.

I have very fond memories of playing the quake 3 arena demo in our high school computer labs in the late 2000s. I would install it every time i sat down at a computer and sometimes half the class would be in the lobby. It was dated by the t

Notably truck people love customizing their trucks. Less so for economy sedan people.

There is currently no gpu in production that can max out the largest and fastest displays in graphically demanding games. We have monitors that are the equivalent of two 4k monitors side by side and run at 240hz. I have a 5080 and have to t

For the vast majority of users bitlocker just means that if someone steals your laptop or you leave it on a bus then short of a concerted effort by someone with technical ability, no one will have your photos or tax documents. It absolutely

I live in a small town with no lights, only stop signs. Everyone yields to bicycles and no one expects them to stop at intersections. Not really relevant to the majority of places though.

There’s no meaningful distinction between a race bike and a commuter bike that can be used for the purposes of lawmaking.

I’m not sure I’ve seen unanimous agreement in an HN comment section before so that’s nice I guess. But to address the article in a simple environment dns _just_works_. I’ve never once had an issue with bind. It’s incredibly simple and stabl

I would hazard a guess that much higher percentage than 10% of the population thinks that they themselves are on social media more than they’d like to be, whether thats addiction or not idk. You’re probably right though, i don’t think 10 ye

Yeah there’s no getting around that kind of thing. My parents would unplug the router at night and take the power cable so i found another device in the house with the same cable and plugged it in. But my sister never did that so at least i

Well it’s not even necessarily irresponsible parents, good luck keeping your child from going anywhere you don’t want them to go if you have internet enabled devices in your house. In my mind you have states mandate that adult content (porn

How would you work around it without admin access to the computer?

by davkan 4mo ago
Can someone help me understand? Why is it not enough to just be able to manually set an age on local OS user account. If unset assume adult. If set applications can use it to verify age. Require admin permissions to change. All responsibili

I have unlimited PTO, called DTO (discretionary time off). The only downsides in my case are that since it’s not accrued hours you are not owed it on termination and we are limited to two consecutive weeks. Otherwise I have never once been

I think GP was more talking about having your main workflows changed out from underneath you not so much never having to interface with something outside it. I haven’t had the luxury of a non windows workplace but if I worked in a Linux sho

People have been using emacs for how many decades? Or vim and terminal? Linux DEs rarely change entirely without the ability to run old versions, with the notable exception being gnome 3 which is still divisive to this day in large part bec

I don’t see it leading anywhere but a flat earth. When no one can be trusted whoever can tell you want to hear will be who people listen to and snake oil salesmen will reign supreme. Even if he was CIA, Cronkite’s world was closer to the tr

Yeah, I’m not sure who else would be raging about dolphin dropping support. Not talking about people who keep an extra w7 box around for legacy software which Dolphin is not.

Many (all?) of the people using windows 7 as their only OS at this point are zealots. It’s not surprising that some would respond that way. It’s largely a group of people who will never willingly change their habits and any removal of suppo

Personally I’m happy to not have to perform that level personal due diligence for all aspects of my consumption and engagement with society and to instead pay more to reduce my risk via regulation, even if that’s less effective. And I think
