   There is a lot of FUD around passkeys. Think about all the regular (read: non-Hacker News) users out there who fall for a phishing email/SMS, or who re-use passwords and get popped by a credential stuffing attack. Passkeys provide no

   The parent comment makes it sound like everybody has to buy new hardware to use AI. Plenty of users with 2-3 year old hardware will be able to use it. As well as all the existing iPhone 15 Pro owners.

   It’s misleading to not point out that Apple Intelligence is compatible with all devices with at least an M1 — which was announced in November 2020.

   You don’t need an app to not use the extra pixels Apple added on either side of the notch. If you want the same appearance (and resolution) as a non-notch MacBook Pro, open System Settings, go to the Displays section, click Advanced... an

   iTunes Match from Apple. (I think the limit is still 100,000 songs.) iTunes Match gives you access to all of your music on all of your devices, even songs that you've imported from other sources such as CDs. https:&#x

   Well said, especially in the context of their GitHub tagline: PostHog provides open-source product analytics, session recording, feature flagging and A/B testing that you can self-host.

    `.home`, `.corp` and `.mail` are on ICANN’s “high risk” list so won’t ever be gTLDs. So I use those gTLDs when setting up internal networks. Ref: https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/mater...

    Came here to recommend this. It does just about everything you can think of, and since it’s just “a text file”, easy to store in git. The ability to easily use the output from previous responses in subsequent requests makes for great stor

    Returns for everything are too easy. Far too many people treat stores as “rental outlets”. Or purposefully buy three of something, try them all, and then return two. Nothing is more annoying than buying something you expect (and pay for)

    Exactly! I’ve never been able to express a succinct list of why some teams and/or companies feel better than others, but “51%ers” explains it perfectly.

    Thanks so much for the “51%ers” reference! That list of “skills” is spot on . I also especially like his use of the term “skunking” to describe how somebody’s personal opinions/problems/issues impact the rest of the team. “51%e

    Don't forget about the open-source XCP-ng[1] to which you can add Xen Orchestra (which is like vCenter; a key reason people use ESXi) which has a flat-rate (no socket, host or VM limits) $2600/year Enterprise license. And XCP-ng

    Wi-Fi cameras are not a great idea. Sure, they are convenient, but Wi-Fi is a shared access medium (every device on, say, channel 11, has to “cooperate” with all the other devices about when it can transmit, including devices on neighboring

    That’s third-party/unofficial (and unaffiliated with NASA, despite the name) coverage. AFAIK they do not have access to all the cameras/drones/animations that the “real” SpaceX coverage does.
