Don't forget mobile unless you are firmly in Apple camp with iPhone and iPad devices. You can switch to Apple ecosystem but then the overall cost in the end may be more than the chargeback amount. It is a pain to install apps and use a

They don't have to. But we have seen how Google can play this game of open core & official versions with AOSP and blessed Android versions with playstore. There will be two classes of products one officially sanctioned version and

There's ungoogled chromium for that. Also doing that doesn't solve the standards problem we currently have. Google is able to push through any "standard". And those standards "unwittingly" help them maintain th

I think it's the new "search/lookup xyz on Google". Because Google search and search in general is no longer reliable or predictable and top results are likely to be ads or seo optimized fluff pieces, it is hard to make

Access to better schools is a factor in selecting a locality within the city but I don't think it has been a deciding factor in deciding the city itself. Many cities including tier-2 cities have a variation of one of those "intern

Not a comment about the project itself. If someone wants to try a similar flow but cannot run the above for any reason, git can be used to achieve something similar. You can also make use of existing tooling around git for shell integration

It goes beyond that. Three of the authors have east-asian last names. I understand that many people from east asia have a given name in their native language and an english sounding name that they often choose themselves. If those three aut

I'm confident in making ssh changes while logged in via ssh. Compared to ssh, wireguard configs feel too easy to mess up and risk getting locked out if its the only way of accessing the device.

There's coffee/caffeine which is available at workplaces for employees who want to consume it. If there are proven benefits without any known adverse effects, we can expect businesses to take the leap and try to make it available

Insta/FB/X/TikTok are all massive geo-political risks for a large number of countries. They have been called many times as tools for social engineering against governments. There is no good side in this debate.

All the current hype about AGI feels as if we are in a Civ game where we are on the verge of researching and unlocking an AI tech tree that gives the player huge chance at "tech victory" (whatever that means in the real world). I

Quick search says, a single sperm contains around 787MB of data. The average speed of one of those swimmers is around 5mm/min and on an average there are around 280 million of them in the race. Curious folks can calculate the bandwidth

Depends on the other person, but "gets hit by a bus or abducted by aliens" or some other (movie) trope doesn't sound too bad if it's an informal discussion.

Another example comes from Facebook/Meta. When WhatsApp forced accepting terms that affect privacy, they faced huge backlash and many were migrating to alternatives like signal & telegram. In response WhatsApp didn't backout o

I know that some people were able to successfully get through to a human/support at Google via HN. I don't remember seeing those for Apple. Are there examples of anyone failing to get meaningful help from official support but wer

For small time developers and normal users, "Google support" already feels like best effort community support.

It's not like Google is going to stop here. So, at this point I think the site owner can go the extra mile and create a bot that keeps track of HN or reddit topics for related headlines and post the running count along with a summary o

May be and just may be, those users will then try some linux distros and realize that it's not so bad and stick with it. Hope that will drive linux adoption a little more.

Yeah. Only MS knows the actual impact of their decisions. The fact that they are removing a workaround says that it doesn't impact them much i.e. their actual users don't care. Despite all these shenanigans, their regular users

I do the same for one-off tasks. I use ^a as the escape key locally and leave the remote server(s) to use the default ^b because I might need to login to random servers with no shared home or login as a common user and they often have restr

In screen, splits and windows behave more like vim buffers and splits. That works nice for an editor because I might want to look at the same file at two different locations. I find it weird to apply that concept to shells. Tmux panes and w

Isn't that the job of a network operator and not device manufacturer? Operator has that information and they can and do provide it to the govt. I don't see why a phone manufacturer needs to know that information.
