Sort of related, but we used to be completely free of cable, satellite, and streaming for a time, just using OTA antenna picking up all major local networks (covering ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX, among a number of smaller networks). We had DVR s

I mean, sure if you’re comparing a 5-star first party review to a 4-star third party review. But nobody should be doing that sort of comparison anyway — that is, cross-site review comparison. If I’m looking at first party reviews, I’m compa

Yes. Of course, each org is different, and some orgs still might expect growth at L4, even if growth = “approaching L5”. But some orgs may be fine with terminal MI (~CME) L4s.

Other than sometimes not understanding what I’m calling my devices (mostly lights, and mostly because I don’t have them named consistently), my Google Home devices work just fine. I keep seeing articles about complaints with Alexa, but we u

Yeah, sort of, except Brik-a-Bloks allow you to build enclosed structures, so it feels more like a fort. But Quadro would still allow you to use sheets, etc. to complete the fort look.

Sort of related, we bought for our kids when they were young a set of Brik-a-Bloks. [1] They’re basically plastic 2x2 tiles that can be assembled into almost any structure you can think of (limited by the number of tiles you have). They (we

Unfortunately the comment:upvote ratio will trigger (has already triggered?) the flamewar detector. I’d love to see more discussion on this (aside from the quality of the article itself), as it’s something I’ve always felt needs to be figur

Looks like most prices haven’t been updated since March 2023, so about 10 months old.

Amazon is great for buying products I already know I want. Prices are reasonable, shipping couldn’t be much faster (in my area), with Prime anyway. And it’s usually fairly easy to go directly to a known product (by name or model). Also thei

To be fair, GPS tracking may actually make parents feel more comfortable allowing their kids to free roam.

…partly (mostly?) because of social media addiction. My son sometimes has a hard time trying to get his friends to spend time outside, because they’d rather be on their phone on TikTok or Snap.

Yeah, this article is just clickbait, and doesn’t belong on HN IMO.

FWIW, with that downside (and really that plus the range are the biggest two downsides), these are by far outweighed by the upsides. It is practically zero maintenance, so much more fun/pleasant to drive, and no more trips to the gas s

The range on my EV6 is noticeably less in the cold. It feels like I get 0.5-1.0 fewer miles per kWh when temperatures are around freezing (roughly 15-30% less). On our last couple of trips in freezing temps, we had to hop on backroads so th

Is YouTube really the best place to get medical/health guidance from? I’m sure there are some channels that are ok, but my cynical take is that most channels are there for one reason: to make money (by getting views). This is often (us

That may make sense for some games, but for a game that has two directions, it makes less sense. Probably better to completely disable the arrow keys -- or better, limit it to the spacebar -- to reinforce single-button design. Or, just intu

Yeah, the problem is that there is so much low quality content, that search doesn’t (or can’t) do a good job of surfacing it above the noise. There is still some signal left, but it’s such a small fraction that it’s much more difficult to f

From a consumer standpoint, 100% agree with you. From a provider standpoint, I’m guessing they would lose more revenue from existing subscribers not using it vs. what they’d gain from new (often dormant) subscribers.

It may do what I did in that one shrine in Breath of the Wild after I got impatient trying to solve it the “right” way, and just yeet the ball into the hole by making it jump the walls. :)

People don’t buy Teslas for their build quality (or any other similar high price vehicles that aren’t known for build quality like other mid-range vehicles like Toyota/Honda). They buy them for the status that (for now) comes with owni
