Sometimes yes. That 0.1% of sites could be me trying to buy a movie ticket or something. I'm not gonna cancel plans with a friend to see a movie because I need to protest Google that badly.

I'm giving it a shot on my work machine. Device management doesn't give me any options other than Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari anyway. I do like and use Safari for non-work tasks (mainly HN scrolling) but it has some issues t

I figure if anyone should be able to financially support putting out a decent, well-tested browser it should be the second most valuable company on the planet. But indeed, like nearly everything else Microsoft makes, it's trash.

Hey, give them a break. Arc is like... 2 years old. You can't expect anyone to maintain legacy code THAT OLD! That's like 17 hot new frameworks out of date!

I've been trying to find a Chrome replacement since they finally cut the cord on manifest v2. I know Firefox is the "right" option, and I'm fully in favour of chipping away at Chromium marketshare (even if the EU is dete

iOS 26 and macOS 26 will likely be released this month or next.

I'm surprised they still support the old web UI which is the only way to make reddit usable these days. Once they pull the plug on that I'll be finally done (though I'm already so inactive it won't make a difference real

Paper Mario Sticker Star is not a great or even good game, but I did love the effect where they used the accelerometer so if you moved the 3DS around, foil stickers would reflect back and forth. It's a fun effect.

It's crazy how night and day the quality tank was after they essentially killed their API. The good contributors were all pushed away or became less active. And with the official app constantly trying to push posts from random subreddi

That issue exists because of the community that spawned on top of what was built just to be a utility. Not the people using it for its original intended purpose.

r/IgnorantImgur proved that no, a good chunk of them did not know (looks like that sub is private now in protest of API changes but I'm sure you can find some old content hosted other places)

What was funny is if their service is working good - i.e. someone linked an image from their site and it displays for the user - you don't even notice the work the host is doing. But when they pulled an image and you're just shown

> Right, because someone doing something evil would say outright what they're doing is evil. That's my point. It means nothing, so who cares if it's in the code of conduct?

I kinda feel like they'll make sure any workaround for this will ensure you can't use banking apps, Google Pay, etc.

> Makes sense why they had to get rid of the "don't be evil" motto. I hate how this always gets brought up because: 1. Evil has no definition, so it means nothing. They get to define what evil is for themselves. They state

That only really follows if you look at "producers" as a homogenous unit, but the companies hyping up their AI browser agents aren't really in the business of running online goods stores The real answer here is the same as ev

Not sure if I can find a particular episode right now that has that type of call but if you look up Phone Losers of America, or The Snow Plow Show (both are the same guy) you can find lots of Craigslist calls. Here's a similar idea whe

It's not much better on mobile. I just checked a few apps on my iPhone: Instagram, TikTok, Duolingo are all about 500mb each. And many of these apps are gigabytes when you use them for a bit and it caches things. I just cleared Snapcha

I listen to a prank call show where one of his recurring bits is to call people who listed used items for sale to let them know that he's not interested in purchasing their item.

The iPhone minis were the first one to not sacrifice on those things, except for battery life compared to other iPhones. Same great display tech as the normal sized iPhone of that year, same SoC, same camera. Even with the smaller battery,

I directly addressed the hard sales numbers, we don't need to talk about overrepresentation in HN/tech circles. The napkin math off public numbers tells us the iPhone mini sold 6 million units in the same year Google sold 10 milli

Apple said the mini iPhones underperformed, but they were not some sort of commercial failure. They sold millions of units. Numbers most Android OEMs could only dream of for a single flagship model. Current day Apple is all about optimizing

The difference between the photos on any flagship phone for the past 5 or so years is insignificant and mostly up to personal preference, but the difference between iPhone and anything else in videos is massive.

I'm not sure the iPad Pro would be a response to the Surface as much as the keyboards are, which are available on all iPads, including the ones that let you split the software keyboard.

by hbn 1y ago
iPad OS has a split keyboard you can access by grabbing it with both thumbs and pulling it in half. But I think I've heard the iPad Pro doesn't have it for some reason? It seems kinda neglected as a feature anyway cause I've

I think the only one I could agree with exists for upselling is the 16e. I really don't know who that phone is for, it's missing some of the most basic features like MagSafe that will probably disappoint customers who bought it no

Don't forget censorship-free I swore off streaming services when they started pulling episodes of comedy shows and editing out scenes because they were worried someone might be offended

If buying things at the store was as painful as watching stuff on streaming services, and shoplifting was as low risk as torrenting, and my stealing an item didn't make that item disappear from the store, I'd probably do it there
