I want to attribute RSS never taking off in popularity to malice on the part of big tech to catch and kill a threat to their walled garden social media advertising model, because I don't want to face that humanity is just too incompete

Put this in the reviews to be aggregated into an X out of 5 score I can logically base decisions on. It seems irrational to let one strange experience (screen cracked for no reason sitting on a shelf) that occured to 1 out of what, 100,000?

Can you use it in direct sunlight? That'd be the main advantage for me. I enjoy lounging outdoors with a laptop. My macbook screen is completely unusable in the sun.

I don't mean to sound super callous - but what ? I have so many questions, as someone who uses screen readers a lot. How are you browsing HN - it's not like websites maintain a separate .txt file for the blind. When you click &qu

My favorite RSS reader is Feedbro. I see hackernews front page posts, friends facebook posts, friends nitter (x) posts, friends substack posts, youtube subscriptions, all in one chronological feed. And a browser icon shows how many posts ar

According to the youth, it's more about a government censoring what speech their citizens can see. The CCP does it, sure. But America doing it feels new.

Start with a regex (or fast tiny model) to flag obvious time-sensitive tasks. Else, do the task early by prompting it "if this requires up to the minute information, output cancel, else [prompt]". At best, it's 1 regex + 1 fu

A lot of answers don't go stale for hours or days. They'll do the task early, at an off-peak time, hidden from the user, double-check that it really wasn't time sensitive, then surface the saved answer at the time desired.

This one sounds a bit robotic and takes ~4 hours per book on my M1 laptop, so I'll keep looking. For now, I'm happy my current method - EPUBReader browser extension, which opens .epub as an HTML page in Microsoft Edge browser, whi

Part of the population believes one of the other, with a split somewhat correlated to the market cap of bitcoin. The article is an advertisement for bitcoin as the solution to fiat, the cause of all the world's problems (sic).

This author didn't even pick ones where there was a change in 1971. A lot of them have an arrow pointing to nothing special.

Those of us with our net worth in index funds are, on average, +50% in 2 years. That security can make the pull of early retirement or career change stronger.

Imagine him actually offering $191 million in cash for a 44 meter x 44 meter plot of trash. $2000 for every resident of the city. They'd riot if it got rejected.

I'd be surprised if you got away with digging around for long before being fired for being in an off-limits area. Seeing as there's all those bulldozers shoveling the trash piles around.

By `autorun` we're talking about the notorious pre-2007 function of automatically running an exe — the `open` key in the `autorun.inf` file, specifically. It's ignored in all non-EOL Windows versions. It technically true that feat

Thats a Microsoft community forums agent though, and in my experience they spam low effort boilerplate solutions in hopes of getting a few votes. If they searched the web specifically for how to do something only possible before 2007, then

Autoplay is something else. Autorun.inf was a file from the Windows 95 era that could execute an .exe of the publishers choice simply by inserting a usb stick or inserting a CD. It's where the Windows XP era advice to never pick up usb

The dongle enumerates as a USB hub with two USB devices plugged into it. One is an ethernet dongle, which is the sort of hardware that may require a driver. The second device is a USB flash drive containing a .exe, which extracts a file cal

I'm pretty sure noscript will break 90% of the webpages I visit. I just rawdog the internet. If Chrome gets 0day'd then a lot of us are going down - at least I'll have company.

Interesting. My experience is the opposite. Sodder, soddering is the norm. Every lab, every tech at every company has said it that way. I'm from the west coast USA if thats relevant. If I ever heard someone say "sold-er" I pr

It's kind of odd that the tech sector has so many talented people desperate for any job, yet companies aren't taking them on. Those same companies continue to pay their existing staff such exorbitantly high compensation. You'

Varia alerts don't utilize the screen, they are just buzzes and beeps. A phone will last for days with screen off, especially with no sim card. They asked for the cheapest option.
