How is this man a tech-bro? Did you read the same article I did?

If you have access to the apple ID that paid for a device, sure, why not.

If you have receipts for an iDevice and you have the iDevice in your possesion, Apple could just unlock the device. They could also lock the device to an iCloud account even if the user doesn't enable FindMyDevice on it. And I will re-

It doesn't have to be this way :)

Are there other solutions to remedy the pain? Yes. Could they not just get back the same laptop they already have? Most definitely. Whenever there's a story shared on HN that implies a negative sentiment towards an Apple policy, people

Cool, this is the answer I was looking for. Thank you so much!

No, I mean, desktop and mobile screen recording, in my opinion, seems to be simple enough even for laymen. I could also be convinced otherwise :)

Coming from a deep, shameful corner of ignorance, but what's special about recording a screen and sharing it via the comms tool of choice (IM, Slack, Signal, e-mail)? I do love the idea of sharing a screen recording of features though.

Carshares don't imply that the end users are liable for the upkeep financially, they just need to flag the issues to the car club, or at least that's how I've seen it be implemented in all the car clubs I've used. To sta

It really depends. A road trip in a car share can cost as much as a monthly lease payment, yet due to the way no one user feels responsible for the car, the tire was showing 4 different colors of threads. A trip to ikea can be really burden

I agree, car sharing is the way to go.

This is what toll roads do, kind of.

Having lived in some places around Europe, my quality of life is always increased by owning a motor vehicle. I do not use it daily, I do not commute with it, but there are trips which are far more practical with a personal motor vehicle tha

I don't disagree that in most cities with any kind of upward economic development there's an inherent market pressure increasing prices - people will want to live in a city and there's a limited supply. However, what realpage

Do you know what the first D in DDoS attack stands for?

What are you on about? When has price fixing put a downward pressure on the price? With price fixing, it's as though all the landlords in on the fixing are operating as a single business, effectively becoming a monopoly - it's not

4 doesn't originate from XKCD, it originates from Playstation 3's firmware. Ultimately, 4 is a random number, so the developer in question could argue he was technically correct, it's the specification that's wrong.

I can fix the pain when it comes. Brew is already slow, I don't need it to become slower still.

When I issue a `brew install package` command, I expect it to either install the package or fail installing the package, and not do something else entirely. Sometimes I need to do something quick, nix-shell has never given me any issues wit

Yet we still have lock files. The version constraints can just be another piece of metadata that a given derivation carries with itself. You have to distinguish between declaring a dependency and using one in the compilation of a thing.

I do not care about getting the latest updates, I care about having all the vulnerabilities being fixed. Can you load a malicious WebM file without executing arbitrary code in a webview on your S7?

My Galaxy S10's bluetooth modem just said no 3 months in. My pixels have only failed me by losing support from Google prematurely. This is all anecdata.

Ah, yes, I love it when I need to wait minutes to install a package because brew needs to do some other thing.

Instead of relying on npm and maven and other language specific tooling, maybe we could rely on Nix to do the package management instead? NPM, Cargo, maven, whatever Python people think is good this Thursday, Go's reluctant dependency

Yes, but you can also use steam there.

Sure, but my perfectly working Pixel 5 is going out of support before the end of the year, I expect the resale value to be 0.

Older phones don't get significantly cheaper when bought new, used ones are a gamble, and the savings don't go that far anyway when you consider the amount of updates you'll be receiving diminishes.

Why should Apple have a monopoly on repairing a device you own?

I don't believe the most profitable users care about ads.

It doesn't have to. In fact, your android phone could do all the things it does on a daily basis with far less. I'd love to get stats on how many people are not using their ultra high resolution displays at the maximum resolutio
