I think its fair to say computers this simple couldn't really be sabotaged. You'd just power cycle them and they'd be back to the basic prompt (I dunno if this computer needed basic run from disk or it booted into it like a T

This analogy doesn't really work because car are inherently much much safer than jetpacks just by the virtue of the fact that an error or failure or accident is almost not fatal. 0.7 percent of car accidents are fatal. In serious pla

I have a M1 in an entry-level Macbook Air I bought for $1000. Is Intel really having to compare its top of the line i9 to this chip now? Wow, I knew they were a bit behind but this is incredible. Price-wise, like you said, i9's are exp

I read this is surprisingly common especially with older couples. People like to have their own space and when you get older comfort is more important because your body isn't what it used to be. Snoring, keeping separate hours, stealin

What happens is some organizations run a verifying to see if its a VOIP number, and if it is, considers it invalid for SMS based 2FA, and other authentication, presumably to stop hackers. Some big names use these lists, most notably Zelle t

Maybe this person is just one bad head injury from death where otherwise you and I with a similar injury would heal with hospitalization, or maybe just nurse a concussion for a day or two and be fine.

Its craziness all the way down. I have a google voice number which is my "default" number with my gmail accounts. All my gmail accounts were automatically migrated to use 2FA with this number which means if I lose all my google de

The absurdity I like to point out sometimes (usually with a lot of downvotes when I talk about this on HN) is how capitalism corrupts nearly all. Countless employers sell their employees on the idea of "Learn meditation to help with wo

Not to mention having biased election volunteers look at your ID and deem it fake or a "different signature." You can take them to court, but by then the election is over, so it doesn't matter. There's so many ways for t

Great comment. Way too much of HN is invested in "nanny state bad and corrupt" justified with FUD-like narratives. There's always this low-simmering culture war here. And really, air travel radiation is the hill these types o

I find it incredible that people think the government does things like this "just because." It do so because its capitalist masters demand it. Of course this is lobbying driven. The government in a capitalist society exists almost

The USA is not a totalitarian communist regime. A move leftward for a Democratic capitalist society is modeled on Nordic states, which have the highest outcomes in the world in terms of nearly everything good for humanity. Comparing US libe

Japan doesnt have normalized relations with NK. You can't just take a boat there with bags full of yen. I think what you've heard is probably a reflection of SOUTH Koreans who work in Japan, who are discriminated against by the Ja

This comment is disaster porn for doomers, preppers, and second comers. Being the 2nd largest manufacturer isn't good enough? Having history's most powerful military isn't good enough? Having $63k gdp per capita during a pand

There's no way to "better handle" leaving your corrupt puppet state to fend for itself after decades of fighting the will of the people who wanted a native Islamic government with their cultural values to rule. Americans univ

VNC outperforms it, which is saying a lot since VNC is terrible. Remote x apps were always this selling point in linux culture and I always thought I was doing something wrong because they were so incredibly slow until I realized its the pr

I wonder how those email addresses worked. Who or what is window@athena? Project Athena is from MIT, so maybe window is a shared account for the group or window is a proto newgroup? Also its so odd to think that the code couldn't be e

This reminds me of all those 80s arcade and Atari/Commodore/Coleco games written almost always by a single person. To think these really iconic experiences were done by someone from start to finish (sounds, graphics, gameplay, ide

Yep this! People would regularly run windows 95 on a 486 with 8-16mb of ram. This was their daily driver which did word, dial up/aol/prodigy, messaging, games, etc. I think the reaction here that someone is able to run a little we
