I have a 2019 Shield Pro (so 4 years old) and the 2023 AppleTV 4k. I've had issues with both. My AppleTV definitely does not just work. Apps crash all the time and occasionally requires a restart. I have different issues on the Shield

This is basically a long con. The free and open access to an API was a selling point for reddit and they benefited greatly from it -- especially in the early days of the smart phone revolution before they had an official mobile client. Th

I think he's misinterpreting what is happening. Bard can now return images that Google crawls from the web. Bard didn't generate the image. Its returning the image that he used Stable Diffusion to generate because he uploaded i

Loved Banshee. There was a short period of time during the mid 00s where it looked like Mono/C# had a chance to become the dominate platform for gnome apps. Banshee, F-Spot, Beagle, Docky. And some really good stuff came out of the Mon

Are you sure it was a Joro? They are relatively new to North America. Believed to have come first to Georgia via a shipping container from Asia in 2013-14. This article suggests that if Joros are in Florida at all, it is a recent phenomenon

Now is the time for Valve to release the Arch based SteamOS 3.0 officially so that it can be easily installed on non-SteamDeck hardware. Proton was the missing piece that makes Steam Machines viable. Valve should be making SteamOS 3.0 avai

My account is new but I've been reading HN since the late 00s. There has definitely been a slow redditification of HN over the years.

There are really wonky arguments here trying to justify rent seeking in the App Store, walled gardens, and completely closed ecosystems. And I'm not sure why anyone would be supportive of any of those things outside of being pro-Apple.

Maybe for people of a certain age. But there is a whole generation of people (some of whom are on HN) who have only ever known a world where everyone wanted the latest iThing. It's been probably 15 years since you could seriously consi

They're foldables. It's a completely different product category. And it's pretty niche right now.

Maybe in a corporate environment. But not when it comes to personal devices. Most tablets sold are iPads. They don't have Chrome pre-installed. In North America, most phones are iPhones that don't have Chrome pre-installed. Mo

Yes, in fact. I have people in my extended family who are fair skinned (i.e. white) and have visited my home. The Nest was almost immediately able to accurately identity them even in sub-optimal lighting conditions. Even though it strugg

Is he really a doomer because he fears AI? Sounds like Mike Judge needs to bring Silicon Valley back because reality has jumped the shark and made the original series seem mundane in retrospect. He needs to up the ante.

Some applications use Lua for configuration: neovim, conky, awesome, etc. I haven't looked into the details of this so I'm not sure if its a suitable replacement for embedding lua (binary size would be my first concern..does this

If you've seen videos of the current Vegas loop, it looks like a deathtrap. IIRC, there are sections of the tunnel where there isn't even enough space to fully open the car's door. Even if there was an escape tunnel, you migh

Where are these state of the art facial recognition systems deployed? Because as someone with dark skin and a Nest doorbell with facial recognition, I can tell you from experience that Nest still struggles with dark skin. And if Nest is not

I think they are using a dark pattern now. I opened a link in Outlook (Android) after a recent update and I got a popup to open with Edge. I didn't have Edge installed so I was confused for a moment. Just below the big colorful edge ic

You can set Edge as the default browser and links will open in Edge. You can also buy an Android phone with Edge pre-installed by default like a Microsoft Surface Duo. Microsoft has been trying to co-opt Android since Windows Phone failed.

Comments on the internet reflect public attitudes and public attitudes shape policy. For people who maybe affected by the resulting policy, it's a lot more than just "comments on the internet".

Isn't a full sleep study test pretty expensive in the US? I went to a sleep specialist once and the cost of a full overnight polysomnogram was nearly $3000. I opted for a much cheaper at home test from my GP. Showed no signs of sleep a

Are you using HDMI-CEC? You shouldn't be touching your TV remote at all. You shouldn't need to set a default HDMI input. All you have to do is press any button on the AppleTV remote and it will turn on the TV with the correct inpu

Note that this has none of the hallmarks of a "meme". It is attempting to look official by using Microsoft's corporate brand and the Clinton campaign's official branding. There is no joke or humor involved. It looks
