I'm surprised at the number of Logitech users in this thread, because in my experience the quality of their products has taken a total nose dive. Not to mention their products are over priced. I've had too many issues with them, a

This. My work phone and computer are locked down to a ridiculous degree because I work a government job. Using my own devices is out of the question. When I was younger I would answer calls and emails outside of work hours, because I wanted

Who answers their work phone while on vacation? I don't even have mine turned on outside of working hours. What a rookie.

And why is -v the short option for --invert-match in grep, when that's usually --verbose or --version in lots of other places. These idiosyncrasies are hardly unique to tar.

Remember when products came with service manuals and schematics? I miss those times. Today you're just supposed to throw your electronics into the ocean instead of replacing its battery. In some important ways, environmentalism has reg

It's very similar to every other CLI program, I really don't understand what kind of usability issue you're implying is unique to tar?

Posy seconded. He's weird (and I'm certain he would agree), but in a fun and interesting way. The music used in his videos is composed and recorded by himself, btw. A recommendation of mine is Bad Obsession Motorsport. Two men in

Of course it's fake, it's Reddit. How does this dredge reach the front page?

I use the flag button. Posting paywalled content is dumb, annoying and pointless.

It's AI translated to danish as well, and it's not good. It gets basic grammar wrong, and it just reads weird and clunky.

The Signal desktop app is awful. I refuse to use it for this reason alone, because any time I need to write a lot, I switch to a computer because I can write 100 times faster on an actual keyboard.

Isn't there just some simple Python script buried below piles of vm/docker nonsense I can run?

uBlock took care of the cookie law nonsense for me automatically. The internet really is unusable without it.

I wish I could have a HN front page without AI (or "$foo rewrite in Rust"). I'm not an anti-AI luddite, but it's just way too much at this point. Surely there are other interesting hackery topics we could talk about.

Virtue signaling is not the same as being virtuous. It's an empty, zero effort, gesture that contributes nothing of real value or meaning. Like changing your profile picture or posting a trending hashtag.

If there is, expect it to be crooked too. Online reviews have been astroturfed to death. It's over.

I assumed decoding multiple files in parallel. I think very few websites have just one PNG file.

>I don't think I have ever noticed the decode time of a png. When it was developed, 200 Mhz Pentium was the current tech. Back of the envelope numbers (ie. chatgpt) says my current desktop CPU (i7-14700K) decodes 7000x faster.

(2021) In my opinion PNG doesn't need fixing. Being ancient is a feature. Everything supports it. As much as I appreciate the nerdy exercise, PNG is fine as it is. My only gripe is that some software writes needlessly bloated files (li

It's been a few years since I've used an Iphone, but back then I used AdGuard. It wasn't terrible, but I encountered frequent breakage, and updating it (rules) was miserable and slow. The generally awful and sad state of web

What things? Apple doesn't really cater to the type of customer who's excited about computers, or even UNIX. And I'd argue that Mac OS barely qualifies as UNIX anyway. Yes, if you dig deep enough you'll get the faint sme

I would have loved to see an Apple iCar, just to see the soulless, sterile and inoffensive result, and the resulting magical marketing circus. Do you take it to an Apple Store to refill the windshield wiper fluid? Does it use another bullsh
