I had read they come from car tyres? Now, I do hang out with a lot of anti-car people so I'm not sure how credible it is as I've not verified the claim myself.

If it's not tiktok it'll be reels or shorts or perhaps a new app that will do basically the same. That from a "tiktok is bad for you" perspective. From a security and economic perspective there's a big difference be

If only price was the only signal people used when buying or renting services. But that's not the case. And Apple themselves know this as they charge premium prices for the brand alone. If Apple drops their prices by 30% there's n

This has always been such a funny argument to me. The "some" is carrying some much weight. Yeah there's a couple vocal apple users in hacker news that think a closed ecosystem is good, more private and secure, they trust Appl

They probably have a WWSD (what would Steve do) attitude. I wouldn't be surprised if he's turned into an idol within the company. In any case, most of the broad public is not really aware of these things at all. So I doubt it real

Really? I am a gay man and I see increasing homophobic speech that stems from transphobia which most definitely isn't a "solved issue". This worries me. Yes there was a battle in culture and politics that lasted decades for g

No one is going to get elected for solving a problem everyone today is going to be dead to see the results of. Although we all might agree that this is necessary, people usually tend to vote for people who promise "real" solutions

You know, Ive seen people do amazing things with math equations. Beautiful visualisations. As these tools improve and it becomes more possible for us to actually take our ideas into images and videos that fit a sort of "yes this is wha

Weird to say I guess, but meta might release an open source model too. And they do have plenty of data to feed their models. Arguably more data than openAI should have as they don't really own any social media. Thing is, anyway, as s

USB C comes to mind. I think that's an example of a successful regulatory measure. What will happen with the DMA is still to be seen. So I wouldn't judge it until we've seen if the intended effects of the regulation come to p

Where did you get this data? A quick search shows me in the US market iOS makes for 55% and google for 45%. [1] Also there's a big generational gap too with younger people in the USA vastly preferring the iPhone to android (most likely

In certain demographics in the USA (teenagers, young adults) the usage of iMessage is around 90%. It's a defacto monopoly but nothing is done about it from an anti-monopoly perspective. Such as forcing Apple to adopt open standards and

Pretty sure Apple is not bringing side loading for apps in America, so I guess these changes won't necessarily trickle down. I think the USB C change was done world wide simply because it's much more difficult to restrict hardware

The usage of iMessage in Europe is vastly inferior to the usage of it in America. I think that was a reasonable argument from Apple and the European Commission agreed. But the thing is, apple obviously wants for people to use iPhones in Eur

It feels a bit wrong to me that CERN needs to basically beg for this kind of investment while we see Elon Musk burn billions of dollars on his twitter acquisition (now known as X). The mere rebranding probably costed the business billions o

This is just so expensive that it seems to me like something you just see people who get it for free or as a tax deductible try it on in YouTube. I honestly don't know if it something you'd like to upgrade on coming from something

Okay but this completely irrelevant to the argument at hand. If you want to choose apple music over Spotify for the sake of the artists. Good. Though I'd also he cautious, Spotify does have a much stronger market share than apple in th

The speed of the narration is intense. How it weaves one story to another, feels like you're going into a fractal.

It's interesting that for this journalist the group chat is always an extension and in some way connected to her "real" life. There is not really a mention as to how I, and I believe many other, really use group chats. Yeah.

Nice, I'll be trying this. I recently bought a 1L mini PC for home-server usage. It was very cheap and came with an 8th gen intel, only problem is no space for a 3.5 inside but I'll just connect through USB 3.1 on one of those cad

Some time ago I took a sudoku app and added some features that I wanted. It was a great learning experience, my code introduced some bugs and it's not perfect but the whole thing felt really good. Wish android development was a bit mor

I don't get tired of recommending "When we cease to understand the world" (though I read it in its original Spanish). But no one seems to listen to me. It was my favorite book I read in 2023. I would say.

I have chrome installed. In the rare occasion that Firefox does not do a good job I just switch to chrome for that website and then go back. This is usually the case if there might be forms or something like that. It's minor enough tha

Yeah, it was similar for me. You need to unsuscribe from every newsletter and also any "reviewers" on youtube if you follow them. Seriously, this is not an issue just with legos but also tech in general and pretty much any hobby.

The rebranding is one of the most stupid things I've seen business-wise during my adult life. I still go to twitter dot com. And I call them tweets, and everyone does that. I do personally enjoy saying "X formerly known as Twitter

Seems to be going for a while. I wonder if we'll get some kind of clarification on what happened. Those posts are always fun to read as you get to see what goes wrong on big software with millions of users! It should be back working so

Nice. I needed to do so much trickery to get bypass paywalls to work. Now all we need is to get proper tab groups on desktop and I can be fulfilled.

I built both the Titanic and the Eiffel tower. They both felt pretty repetitive. On the other hand, these models are a marvel. Particular the Eiffel Tower. Everytime I look at it im just awed at how beautifully intricate it looks. I think t

Normally my disability barely affects my everyday life. But when it comes to data visualization I am often faced with very poorly-thought design as a lot of people really don't care about contrast and so on enough for color-blind folks

Audiobook is not reading. I'd be curious about the rate of learning new words for someone that reads a book versus someone that listens to it. I think the act of reading is much more mentally involved than the one of listening, after a
