Had a similar experience trying to change my billing country for Google One. The support staff would not reassure me that I wouldn't lose any data by cancelling my plan, waiting until it expires in a year, and resubscribing with the ne

Microsoft checks the return URL to see if it is one of the whitelisted URLs specified by Harvest. Harvest added their own redirection mechanism on top of this, presumably to support multiple instances of their software, which did not do a g

Most of the CEOs I personally interacted with spend their day bullshitting around in their offices, making bad decisions, going home at 3pm and then writing an @company email from bed telling everyone that it's on them to make the plac

Associating with this site and YC is an actual image problem nowadays, so maybe they changed their mind.

Maybe the fruit bar at Apple Park is only restocked once a week now. Not a joking matter.

That sucks, but it's also just a business decision. If 97%(I made that up, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was that high) of purchases through Tor are fraudulent, then it makes a lot of sense to just not allow it. Take your mone

Not sure what you're talking about, if you pay Google for support you get support. Workspace support is good in my experience, we interact every 2-3 weeks and they can usually resolve our issues or know when to escalate. You can call o

Seems like you just don't want to give up the convenience of being able to buy the most top-notch hardware at any point in time. No one ever said that being sustainable wouldn't be without sacrifices :)

Doesn't mean they're not making them - a lot of people will buy them regardless, or get a new one from their carrier. For Apple devices especially, this is incentivized by the culture around them - a lot of folks just want the new

You can pause the GC, run it yourself and tweak it a bunch, but in my experience it usually causes more trouble than it's worth - you have to be really careful with it.

C#, especially with in recent releases, has really been turning into somewhat of a systems programming language. They keep adding tools that allow for very low-level memory management/manipulation and the ability to run on so many plat

Having been on the other side of a messy ruby project, which had large parts of itself overridden by some addon scripts, maybe that's a good thing!

Brave is the worst of all worlds in the modern browser space. I genuinely believe that it doesn't get much better than LibreWolf and uBlock if you value privacy and don't want to give in to Google - you probably don't need al

I get this same feeling when looking at some of the code people commit the day before a release.

Because they want to avoid sending your IP to Twitter if you aren't going to watch the video, and the way to do that without JS is to only render the video embed if you actually request it.

So much work just to take away people's choice to name their reading lists anything they want. Considering they even mention the database needing to be involved way more than it should be, maybe they should rethink this.

My entire tech bubble moved to mastodon and it's been great. No ads, no algorithms. Maybe the VC bubble is just stuck with it because of what it used to be?

Their earbuds(1) are the worst piece of hardware I've ever owned, and they won't fix it or accept that the problem is on their end, with support just telling you to repair them. ANR drops out all the time, and they tend to just no

The chip line they made for it powers the most popular console on the market and basically locked its manufacturer into Nvidia chips until they're willing to drop compatibility, so financially it probably worked out for them, even if t

It's pretty good in that regard in my experience, in Europe anyway. Everything else pretty much still applies though, out-of-touch execs and all.

Awesome. There is no better way to slow climate change, we need to stop the endless waste of energy that is modern industrialized livestock agriculture. I genuinely believe that this can be a cheaper and easier alternative to real meat, whe

Another answer could be that Sony and Nintendo have huge lobbying power in Japan, and they don't want to undermine some of their most important industries. You could argue that the business model of consoles also doesn't support t

Sure, just trying to correct the notion of this being a "win" for open source, Apple still hates anything GPL :)

Apple did not upstream anything to Wine here. They just use CodeWeavers code for macOS support, plus their own changes, and released a 20k line diff to be compliant. The license to their translation layer(which is closed source) is very res
