You know it won't be. Wireless headphones are disposable. My wired Sennheisers are 10 years old. I've replaced the foam pads on them, which are still available from 1st and 3rd parties. I know someone who just replaced the pads on

Very OT, but I can't wait for this web design fad to go away, where every element is animated and stuff flies around and fades in from every direction. It's like 90's GeoCities, but with more whitespace. Also, I have a Radeon

I disagree with you, and I think you're wrong, but I suspect political arguments of this nature are extremely offtopic on HN. If I'm going to make enemies here, I'd like it to be over my intense dislike of JavaScript, Docker

I just had a look at /r/reclassified and saw that /r/GavinMcInnes has been banned. He's a conservative talkshow host. While I was still around, /r/ClownWorld and /r/CringeAnarchy got banned too.

It's the community moderation that's a problem on Reddit, because any kind of dissenting opinion is immediately wiped out, when it goes against the group think. And the group think is leaning very heavily to the left on Reddit. T

I'll be honest, this virus situation has me super scared. Governments everywhere are giving themselves powers they should not have, and I doubt they are going to relinquish them once this blows over. Police are acting gestapo-ish in a

Unrelated to Snap, but on Windows, trying to use the My Documents folder for your actual documents is frustrating, because a huge number of apps and games like to use the folder for all sorts of nonsense, instead of using %appdata% like the

Headphones are purely electromechanical devices. They don't need software, except for silly contrived reasons.

Try using mixed DPI displays. My main display is 27 inch 4K display, and on the sides I have old 19 inch 1280x1024 displays, used for IRC, music player, process monitor, email etc. Stuff I glance at from time to time. _NOTHING_ supports thi

What bias? Who is biased? Quick duckduckgoing indicates there are far more male than female doctors in the US. So statistically, it would be correct to return mostly male doctors in an image search. If you want a photo of a specifically gen

I left it before I really got started, and looking back at it now, I don't regret it. In my mid-twenties I decided I'd rather be an electrician. I don't sit on my ass all day. I get to meet new people, and see new places all

Key difference: You elect your government, and if you aren't happy with how they're doing things, you can vote them out. I never voted for Zuckerberg, Bezos, Cook or whoever runs Google.

Didn't happen to me (but it has before). Instead I got a huge modal popup about something, which I didn't read, so I hit `back` immediately. archive.[is,ph,li,fo,vn,md,today] is like a condom for crappy websites like that. https:

Dane here. The danish keyboard is arguably retarded, but I've used it my entire life, and on purpose have not tried other layouts, because as soon as I use a computer that isn't my own, I'd revert back to hunt and peck mode.
