Extremely lucky about this ‘100% success rate’. After dealing with several valuable SEGA Saturn games that succumbed to bit rot, and are therefore worth practically nothing - (nor are they playable, obviously) - I backed up whatever optical

Is this the case? I seldom deal with 3 interviews even; though I have been with my current employer for 3 years. Have things changed that wildly in a couple years? If a company dragged me through 6 interviews I’d automatically assume they w

These kinds of fantastic hackery are the reason I consistently come back to HN. This is an absolutely fascinating little piece of kit. It begs the question to as if there would be any actual utility to a display this small with it having to

Yet another reason why Universal Basic Income is going to become a necessity. As each industry automates itself more and more, it'll be UBI or total riots and chaos. And thank God. People are not robots. They shouldn't have to spe

The credit system is one of the most powerful weapons used for systematic racism and class discrimination today...how is it an improvement? :/ Especially, if; as you agree - it has no room for mistakes?

It should obviously be illegal - preferably criminal - to check a credit score for a place to live, anyway - because a credit score, probably at least half the time - has little to no impact on how reliable of an individual you are financia

I read KoKo as ‘Koh Koh’, not ‘Koo Koo’. Still, in retrospect - definitely a bad naming choice for a service like this.

The cynic in me immediately wants to dismiss this story - but I do have to say that’s a pretty damn cool story, even if it’s not true. It makes me wonder, for sure; and that’s cool enough in and of itself for me.

I absolutely don’t believe that’s what the commenter here was saying. What I got from the comment is that it’s a problem everywhere, not isolated to this area or set of beliefs. The commenter was simply providing another example of this, no

We used to call seeing ads in Windows ‘adware’. Now we just call it ‘Windows’. I’m dead serious - unless you have a specific business reason like most do to use this POS, I can’t imagine anyone actually choosing to use Windows over the al

Okay, first the stupid fucking ‘Turning Red’ advertisement that dared to call itself ‘adorable’, and now this? Seriously, does FireFox hate itself, or just hates it’s dwindling but loyal user base? We used to use Firefox because they didn’

A great example of this would be called an emulator, and I'd argue that, yes - those are completely independent designs. So does the law. :)

I don't know that I can recommend Reddit as a legitimate news source. You'd really have to make sure you're hitting the right subreddits. :/

To be fair, Windows Phone would have - inevitably - eventually had the same issues. For God's sakes, I saw a post yesterday about ads within File Explorer on Windows, it's nuts.

Wow; wow, wow. I honestly can't believe anyone uses this pile of shit OS anymore. I left Windows because adware and spyware became such a prevalent problem that I just got tired of dealing with it. But when the OS itself is the adwar

I had to call them to unsubscribe. You can bet I told them why. They usually try to do everything they can to retain you, but when I said 'unless you remove the ads, you can cancel me now', they proceeded to actually do it.

I actually was not aware of the PineTime. As a huge Apple Watch/WatchOS fangirl, I'd honestly love to check out a far less restrictive smartwatch environment to mess around with. I have a lot of interesting ideas that I've un

Jesus. For real? This is existentially disappointing. I’m not sure what ethical profit looks like for FireFox, but as a 15-20-year user I’m finally out.

Reminds me - of course - of ReBirth, from 'back in the day'...when the iPad first came out I was incredibly pleased to find ReBirth had a port to it. (Edit: I'm sad to see it's since been removed. Damn.) I wanna say I fi

You mean...that the new iMac is more aesthetically interesting / pleasing than the G4? Jesus, I guess tastes vary hugely . The new iMac is the same bloody design it's been since the iMac G5, basically...not sure how it's &#x

Amaaaazing. The iMac G4 is the single most aesthetically beautiful computer, ever. I've still got a functional maxed-out one in the corner of my living room/studio. If the internals ever break, I'm doing this kind of mod in h
