Well, the QC 15 was perfect for me for a number of years, as long as I had AAA batteries. And while every new version after had some kind of trade off to it, the QC series has overall been quite reliable, with removable cords, etc. The Blue

I still have brand loyalty to Bose after almost a decade of trade-ins at a discounted price every 2.5 years or so. It’s too bad that around 2017 they stopped the trade-in program. The old QC 15s still had one of the nicest “fits” for me, an

Another user elsewhere in this HN thread says it might be caused by an app keeping the microphone awake — that the hardware on/off switch might be software-controlled, which does somewhat make sense if you want to “shutdown” the headph

The only problem I have is the new syntax has trained me to expect a ? when null is possible, and null is not allowed if ? is missing, but in older libraries not yet updated to C# 8 Nullable Types, not having a ? means null is allowed. So r

Apparently COVID-19 is only a problem in the United States, because I can’t download this app from the Canadian App Store. I understand there might be legal issues involved, but it’s still a bit of a disappointment.

I disagree that there’s no way to implement an alternative to Safari, besides Chrome there’s also iCab and other browsers that show not only a completely different UI but also innovative new features. Even if WebKit makes it impossible to r

Cookies can be used for storage for up to a year, but it’s commonly accepted that browsers vary in implementation of this based on user settings. So why wouldn’t user settings exist for other kinds of permanent or session storage? Google Ch

I tried to summarize but when it took me two minutes and I was still struggling, I had to give in and agree it’s tenuous. There are probably other points, but the primary one seems to be “put in the effort to solve problems and find unique

If Safari has a system back button to take me back to the app, it knows enough to include the “originating app” for the profile. Similarly it could create an association between the domain the profile is hosted on and the app. Finally, Appl

Having used Amazon Go once as a tourist, it was frictionless only because of the Amazon app. You can scan the app instead of a credit card (your card is already linked to Amazon for payment), and when you leave the app tells you what you bo

True, and even in Pro you are prompted to “finish setup” (attach a Microsoft account) according to the Thurrott article. All I can point to is that every other operating system with cloud backup services has gone the same way. It’s hard to
