Just holding it down until it shows you the power off slider does the same. Easier to do in a panic.

Sure, someone needs to do something, but due to automation we need less labor for the same value, even if it isn’t fully automated luxury space communism (yet?). That excess time could be spent on leisure, instead the insatiable hunger for

Buy prepaid credit cards with your debit card, cash them. Buy commodities and sell them at a loss. People will find a way around it, especially desperate people with addiction issues. This will just add overhead. If you want to stop the fen

Alright, I'll concede the numbers, let's say some fraction of people are employed not because they see value in their work but because they're economically incentivised (in other words, to make ends meet). I'm saying tha

Yeah, that last thing. Find me a competitively priced, quality 55 inch television without smart features. Just a dumb display. I can't find any around here anymore. I just bought a 27" 4k display and slapped it on the coffee table

That’s a cynical take but I have to agree. If your principles don’t scale, don’t scale.

I just wear one AirPod, good enough for podcasts and phone calls.

They’re perfect for home lab applications as well, I’ve used one as a firewall and another one as a NAS. A model with a decent amount of CPU cores can pull virtualization duty. They’re generally pretty power efficient, like a next step up f

Hmm for most forms we use things like DocuSign, but I suppose there must be some that have to be mailed in. For mail we mostly do parcels and those get either a dedicated label printer, or if they're large products, a dedicated transpo

Yeah I understand, no need for hostility. I prefaced my question with my own bias, I'm just interested in how others feel about it. It's fine if you think HN is aware, but that shouldn't invalidate an honest inquiry.

In the world is a bit large in scope, I’m trying to gauge whether printing in the HN audience is on the decline I imagine it to be.

I'm probably super biased because I work in a relatively modern office that produces relatively modern tech, but we barely ever use paper for anything anymore. The same goes for my home office use; I moved a few months ago and left my

All publicly traded companies with a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders will always externalize any cost they can. The problem is bigger than Apple.

You're hoping a similar situation doesn't develop under capitalism though? Also, your point of view only makes sense if you're on the receiving end of capitalism. I don't think lithium miners would object to collectively

There are some apps that change that behavior if you want. [0] I didn’t reply to the wrong comment, I was just trying to be helpful. This OS behavior has seemed second nature to me ever since browsers implemented tabs. Like in each of your

By default the hotkey for tabbing through app instances is Cmd + ~ I bound it to Option + tab though, more intuitive to me.
