Name a better alternative that works on iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, MacOS and web.

On the one hand, hardware prices went up. On the other hand, they didn't go up as much as our grocery bill and other bills. So, they're not keeping up with inflation, at least around here.

FWIW: I have a pile of old Intel / NVIDIA machines that no longer boot Windows. They're all > 2GHz, > 8GB DRAM, and have more than enough horsepower to run modern casual titles. Next to that pile, I have a pile of games th

I don't see what the problem is with game studios buying Windows licenses. Sure, the platform is enshittified spyware, but that only impacts the game devs on their work machines (which are probably locked down to protect secret IP anyw

I think you're being a bit unfair to Lambert. If we assume the best (per HN guidelines): Up to about 2018 Tesla was the market-leading EV company, and the whole thesis of Electrek is that EVs are the future. So, of course they covered

So, there are two theories: a) Teslas are unsafe. The sparse data they're legally obligated to provide shows this clearly. b) Elon Musk is sitting on a treasure trove of safety data showing that FSD finally works safely + with superhu

I don't understand your claim. Previous article: Tesla with human supervisor at wheel: 10x worse than human alone. Current article: Tesla with remote supervisor: 3-9x worse than human alone. Given the small sample sizes, this shows

The article lists the crashes right at the top. One of 9 involved hitting a fixed object. The rest involved collisions with people, cars, animals, or injuries. So, let's exclude hitting fixed objects as you suggest (though the incide

A lot of people would disagree with your use of the word “police.” They wear masks, don’t get warrants before entering houses, regularly arrest American citizens, and are operating far from anything a reasonable person would call an immigr

Or, worse, run any unsupported linux as long as it contains systemd, so no *bsd, etc, and also no manufacturer support?

Given current events, I think you’ll find many more people care in 2026 than did in 2024. (See also: today’s WhatsApp whistleblower lawsuit.)

If Apple's still selling it, they'll almost certainly support it at least as long as an above-average Android manufacturer. The current iOS supports things back to iPhone 11 and the SE2, so you can expect the SE3 and iPhone 13 to

They use rf numbers, which is a newer standard, so that's probably good. However, the experimental group (extra light sources) got rf 91 bulbs, and the control ("LED lighting") got rf 85 bulbs. The two scales are not exactly

I think Zip's main trick is that it's been preloaded on everything forever.

Were the trains running on time in Germany back then? They certainly were 20 years ago, so I assume they were in the 80's. Maybe "strictly worse than 40 years ago"?

I see an announcement from 2016 saying they're adding React Native support. Does it actually work? That'd allow low-effort ports onto their platform, and I'd much rather see them succeed than be stuck with the current duopo

That looks surprisingly good (I see there's a 5G modem). Does it make phone calls + send texts + manage battery reasonably? Also, what does "non-rugged" design mean? (I've had a few pieces of niche phone hardware before,

Price hasn't been a particularly compelling difference between iOS and Android for a while. Here in the states, you can get a new iPhone 13 for $200 USD, which is 170 euros at today's exchange rate. https://www.metroby

So, is the FAA going to provide something like IceBlock so that it's possible to obey the new regulations?

They said “cloud encumbered” not cloud based. Do you have a version that doesn’t prompt users to use cloud services, and also does not attempt to make outgoing network calls? I jumped off the MS train about ten years ago, but the office the

And if you ask chatgpt about major sponsors, a few years from now, it’ll honestly answer, even if that means badmouthing them, etc. Also, everyone gets a free pony.

It's frustrating that there's no way for people to (selectively) mirror the Internet Archive. $25-30M per year is a lot for a non-profit, but it's nothing for government agencies, or private corporations building Gen AI mode

I’d argue they aren’t, but the number one threat actor in the privacy space is Google. I occasionally have to use Chrome to test with it. Can someone explain concisely how it manages Google logins? They clearly bolted it in at some low le

750kg (500 gal) is the smallest you can get around here. A house backup generator uses something like 3kg of propane per hour idle, so that tank will keep your fridge on for ~ 10 days. Our area (outskirts of Silicon Valley) saw 20-30 day p

From a Pineapple Express a few years back (80+ mph gusts and lots of landslides): - When putting in rural/exurb solar, make sure you have a secondary charge source for your house batteries. This can be a car or a propane generator, bu

I’d be nice to control where the money and content go. If I could, I’d strongly consider firing up an old raspberry pi or two. Also, is there a better word than ad fraud? It needs an innocuous sounding euphemism like pretty much everythin

They can’t kick Crowdstrike out without permission from the EU. It’s one of the bigger failures of antitrust enforcement I can think of (I can think of much larger screw ups involving lack of antitrust enforcement, to be clear.)
