Didn't really know about this platform, but to me it looks like it could perfectly be kept in some kind of read-only mode without costing all that much for Google.

My parents recently bought a Peugeot 2008 with a very crappy infotainment system but it doesn't matter really because it supports Apple Carplay so now it has onboard Spotify, Waze and Google Maps.

Whenever I watch this video and the other jetman videos I can't help but try to find anomalies or something wrong in the video to somehow try and prove that it is CGI (which I know it's not).

Last week there was that opponent of Putin who got poisoned and was sent to a hospital in Omsk and I was like: "Why do I know the name of that random Russian city ?".

Never thought I'd get sweaty hands from reading a Hacker News comment but here we are. I'm not claustrophobic at all but no way in hell I'm ever doing any spelunking voluntarily.

I'm soon switching a lot of things to USB-C. What brands of cables would you recommend ?

I'm one of those semi-veg people. I tried it a few years ago as well and I agree it's a lot easier now than it was back then.

I use Hammerspoon which is a free tool that lets you run custom Lua scripts. Got a lot of keyboard shortcuts for moving windows around.

Smart jerks are the worst. I work with a few of them and they can really be insufferable. They interrupt every conversation (IRL or through Rocketchat) because they know absolutely everything about the subject you happend to be talking abou

I appreciate the sentiment but my phone now does so many things that I would really miss if I'd have to get rid of it. GPS and navigation, Mobile Banking, IM because nobody sends text messages anymore, Calendar and quick web searches a

Although I agree, there's also a lot of situations where I find a touchscreen works so much better than a keyboard and mouse. I absolutely love using Google maps on an iPad for example. Also my mother who is very very tech illiterate c

Seems like the website was hugged to death. Found the related video on youtube though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMxjHTTDcpI . My stupid brain wondered at first why flower vending machines were relevant on Hacker News.

My Tesla (or at least the one from my colleague I occasionally get to drive) blaring out "MINIMUMS" would definitely get my attention quicker than the soft chimes they have now when autopilot disengages.

How does the fuel end up on your hands, because I've never had that happen in 10 years of driving and refueling ?

Switched back to Firefox since the Quantum release and I'm very happy with it. On mobile I still use Chrome, but I'm gonna check out how FF works on mobile :).

I'm not really a woodworker but I have probably seen every Mathias Wandel video since his first marble machines. I wonder how much time I have spent over the last years watching his videos. It's gotten to a point where I know all

"Spotify but for restaurants" actually sounds great though.

So this guy has 800k followers, but most pictures only get 5k likes? I feel like I know where he got most of his following. I also don't get who he's trying to influence. Which millionaire is going to decide to buy a specific yach

I had a dream once about a big 18th or 19th century battle with horses, lances and cannons. At the exact same time a cannonball exploded in my dream thunder erupted as I had never heard before. It didn't sound like a rolling drum but l

That Fibonacci based indentation might not be a bad idea after all. Especially when doing callback-style javascript.

The 5 series and SE phones are pretty easy to repair indeed. I've replaced a screen and battery with no experience, a few tools from ifixit and a youtube video without much hassle. It's gone pretty downhill from there with the ip
