Would you use this instead of Hotwire?

They can get it if you log into your Android TV! I believe they also track and log other Wifi networks that you arnt even connected to. I'm sure they gather all sort of other metrics from any sensors and signals they can access.

Indeed. Our friends in the USA often assume the people they are talking to are only in the USA!

Classic MacOS only draws an outline of windows on any interaction! There was an extension to enable window previews whilst dragging.

I 100% agree with your broader point! However in support of Apple's M1/M2 macs, I dont have this problem so much! Apart from Electron based apps... Which is why I find the wide spread love of VS Code so befuddling! It's fine.

The Chinese are making a dent in Australia! MG have a couple of cars in the top 10 sales, depending on the month etc... Buying the MG brand was incredibly smart! People dont realise they are Chinese owned! The two people I know who own an M

In Australia it's apparently legally fine for these magazines to publish false stories as they are entertainment and not news!

We'll eventually get the year of Linux on the Desktop, not because of Linux, but because macOS and Windows just got worse!

I think it's more that Tim Cook, and Apple, are innocent until proven guilty. They are not 'hiding' anything, which implies they have more to hide. Apple are a secretive company that does not tend to discuss their internal po

You are correct of course! I should remember really, I worked at Apple in the UK during the 90s! :-) Guess I'm getting old LOL I think my mind was getting it's memory mixed up with the PowerPC 601 and 603! Too many product codes i

The G3 was competitive, wasnt it? Benchmarks at the time claimed it was 2x faster than the PII. https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1998-04-27-19981171... So true or not, it must have at least been in the ballpark

The Steam brand and mindshare is second to none in my experience. My tweener kids will preference Steam over all other platforms. They would rather buy/re-buy, or pay more for a game on Steam than use another game launcher. Their are g

I find the Electron based GUI of VSC to be laggy compared to other GUI editors like Sublime Text. It's subtle, but there is a noticeable lag when clicking on a file and the view refreshing in VSC that isnt there in Sublime Text, for in

It's more than that... It's not even clear what you are signing up for, and they start asking a bunch of personal questions... My ADHD brain noped out of there in an overwhelmed browser closing act of defiance! :-)

Honestly, not really! It's all been dragged up again recently! Right now, it feels like the Cold War never ended.

Yep, me too! As an X-gen child of the 70s/80s I was at various points terrified of nuclear bombs! Watching Threads when I was way to young didn't help... There are times when I'd lay terrified in bed when I heard a jet engine

Sadly, this is very true! It's a total nightmare out there! I have clients on big Hosts like SiteGround, and sending email is a problem! I'm 100% in support of the idea that services should be protocols though! :-)

ad hominem attacks on HN should be avoided. Critique the article, don’t insult the person! We can make online discussion a nicer place! :-)

I'm deep into the Apple ecosystem. However my sentiment/thinking isn't far behind yours... I haven't made any serious moves to decouple and go independent and self-hosted. Mostly due to the overheads of dealing with it a

Perhaps math focused hot-housing at a younger age could provide an extension? (genuine question, as I don't know anything about it)

WFH was gift for me! In many ways the pandemic was the best thing that happened for me! I got to work from home, and then transitioned to running my own consultancy from my home office! I’m fortunate and have a nice home and work well with

“Many people with ADHD find it easier to stay focused on housework, homework, bill paying, and other tasks when someone else is around to keep them company.” Not true for me! If anything the reverse is true! With my ADHD I also get a form o

Don’t keep anything behind that password that the government doesn’t already have access to! Government already has access to banking and phone records, most online accounts and data from Apple, MS and Google.

Even if you are not a fan, the PDF is a very enlightening read! "...blonde with a shape even a uniform could not hide" It's shockingly misogynistic!

With regards to the API, they shut it down because there were people building apps with the stated intention of taking users from twitter and building their own platform. I’m on my phone and don’t have a source handy, but it was a serious e
