MS really dont have any taste do they. They want Edge to compete with Chrome, but yet they fundamentally dont get why people like Chrome. I dont want my browser homepage to be filled with ads and trashy sponsored news articles. It's ju

When the CEO is finally asked to do something, to actually take some action, he stumbles and falls flat on his face. Mr Pichai,you have been weighed, you have been measured and you have been found wanting. What is Eric Schmidt up to these d

Ok, well, that is a very old phone! It had a good run though! I believe it holds the record as the iPhone with the longest iOS current release support. I still have one I use as a test device! It’s super laggy under the latter iOS releases

HN isn't one person. It's a community of individuals having a debate. But I get your point! :-) It does seem that way...

That is the worst press-release I've read for years. In that it's overly wordy, lacking in information, generally hard to read, boring and left me not knowing if there was an announcement of a product of not? Dreadful. Maybe Bard

Haven't watched the video, but my gosh, what was MS thinking with MS Edge? You open the browser... and it's just horrendous! Sponsored links and trashy news. It's horrible MS still have little to no taste it seems :-/

The new Google Drive client for Mac still offers to Sync photos. Edit: not sync maybe, but Google Drive for Mac will ingest your Photos from your Mac. Is that synching? Not sure. If I delete from Photos on Mac they disappear in Google Drive

Community relationships should be built. Not office relationships. Networking with people in the same industry isn’t as effective as meeting people from a wider base that can exchange services and support each other. Corporations are not “f

I essentially tell my tweeners to not say a damn thing online. The nonsense that comes out of kids mouths on these discord chats when they are gaming - both written and spoken - is just... childish. They use words and phrases they don'

> In 2021, Stripe reportedly notched gross revenues of $12 billion and was EBITDA profitable, according to Forbes. So that basically means they aren't profitable, right?

I dont buy into that line of thinking. You make hay whilst the sunshines. If you can make money from an App, then do so. Of course you have to diversify; dont put all your eggs in one basket. But if there is an opportunity to make money, th

Agreed. It seems like an artificial limit to force some product segmentation. And as such it comes across as very hostile towards customers. I expect it’s going to be one of this things, regardless of how much GPU power you have, that the b

It is a bit confusing right now I find! I think you need a seperate Unifi router and APs to get wifi 6/AX. The integrated cylinder Dream Machines don’t seem to do wifi 6. Not sure :-) Hard to work out.

One of the problems we have today in Australia is a lack of trades! A few large Home Building Companies have recently collapsed. We also have a shortage of qualified tradespeople that are capable of contributing to the building of homes. I&

Those things are not the same though! Cars and Houses do not perform in the same way financially. Houses tend to increase in value, Cars tend to decline in value. There are, of course, outliers in both markets.

MacBook Pro 16” with Screens. Almost always with 2x 27” 4K Displays. Nothing fancy, just the Dell range and whatever I can get a good price on. I’d prefer 24” but you can’t get them at a sensible price. I’d use Apple displays but they are o

I’m still in LastPass! How at risk am I? If I move to something else, are those services not just at risk too at some point? I’d hope LP would be doing more at this point. IDK! Help!

It does seem like people take extreme opposing views just to be contrary. Maybe it's a way for them to take control of their lives. I don't really know. The anti-vax movement is an interesting example of divisive positions.

Your final point is not at all controversial! The very point of CBT is not to dwell on how you feel. Instead be active and take control of yourself. For me that meant running/long cardio sessions. I worked with a Dr who used CBT, and I
