I do this for every site I sign up for. I have a 'catch all' email address, so I can put whateverIwant@mydomain.com and the emails will get to my inbox. So now I know who is selling or leaking my email address. So far it's be

Been using DD-WRT for years. Current setup is a $50 Dell Optiplex i5 from ebay running x86 DD-WRT. I put an intel 4x 1Gbit NIC in it, and it's been an excellent router for years.

That, and like drones, maybe one of his kids starts up a router company which becomes the sole company allowed to sell routers in the US.

If most of the "free software" is AI slop, then it's going to make me read a lot more source code for free software, if the free software is also open-source. If it isn't open-source, oh boy, no way. AI backdoors are alr

Nothing mentioned in the previous comment is indicative of a hardware problem. If you think I'm wrong, please describe a plausible mechanism to cause any of the problems described above. They all are plausibly software bugs. I mean, Ap

AI is not cheap to run no matter where it is running. The price we get charged today for AI is a loss-leader. The actual cost is much higher, so much higher that the average paying user today would balk at what it actually costs to run. The

You can't use IP address to ban someone without significant abuse. All home network routers put everyone in the house behind the same IP address. For all reddit knows, there are 8 people in the house using reddit.

In S3 the JSON is stored in plain-old .zip files. While downloading to local the files are unzipped to plain old JSON. It's basically an object containing tons of data about each website I manage including all fragments of HTML and met

ARM does not have their own fab, someone else is doing the actual making. ARM helped Meta design the thing.

They still obsess about it but they seem to be idiots, and always have been. Nobody has ever been able to explain reasonably why "about this software" is the first thing on the first menu of every MacOS program - it isn't use

Ultrawide without a virtual screen manager is a missed opportunity. Maximize window is still very useful with virtual screen areas on large screens.

It's cute that you think any of that optimization will happen just because Apple crapped out a budget laptop.

It took decades before Apple finally let windows be resized from any side. For so many years the bottom right corner was the only way to resize a window. Their window system has always been crap.

Finder used to suck. I mean, it still sucks, but it used to suck too.

To be fair, he probably never once in his wildest dreams ever thought he would be head of the FBI. So he probably didn't think he needed the extra security, because what idiot would put him in charge of the world's largest spy

The reason given for blocking Flash on iOS at the time was it's too cpu intensive on mobile, which impacts battery life. Not that it was "unsafe and broken". The main reason other browsers stopped supporting Flash was website

Since they adopted the "southern strategy", yes, definitely true to history.

Safari was a crap browser. I mean, it still is, but it used to be, too.

8GB isn't an "amazing" laptop, it's a budget laptop . It's also thermally constrained quite a bit, so not even as "amazing" as it could be.

It can be, but $500k/year is absurd. It's like they went from the most inefficient system possible to create, to a regular normal system that an average programmer could manage. I have no idea if they are doing orders of magnitude

There is a long way between "usable code" and "the code I actually want". And each change I ask for piles on the slop. I don't get the slop when I just spend the same amount of time to write it out myself. Most of w

That could explain the glut of AI hype on HN. Some people think it's magic, when it's just creating a lot of barely-functional slop. If they actually looked at the code it creates, they probably wouldn't be shouting about it

Activity isn't a good measurement for this, because AI can vibeslop thousands of lines per day of code that isn't necessarily useful for anything but increasing activity.

My correction was more for everyone else reading, and not specifically you. Far too often the Democrats have been called out for "failing us" or other both-sides nonsense (not saying you did that here), when in reality they are th

I've seen people generate a lot of vibeslop with AI, but they didn't actually "Write entire applications using AI". They still have absolutely no clue how it works, so how could they "write entire applications"

You lost my interest when you suggested that iPhone was the platform to target because those users have all the money to spend. This pointless internet interaction is over .

I need web bluetooth to give users the full experience. They can use most of my platform currently on Safari, but not the really cool stuff that web bluetooth enables.

Apple doesn't even make Safari for the world's dominant platforms - Windows and Android, yet they continue to hold back progress in web browsers on all platforms to protect their own profit on their walled-garden platform. They ne
