I feel like this post gets posted to HN every few months. Not as frequently as that, but a bit: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

British guy here: sorry if this is a silly question but are you talking about an actual radio station which is just people talking about repairing cars? That’s so interesting! Nothing like that here. Maybe the odd specialist show once a wee

I can’t readily find when these became a thing but search for ‘pantry transmitter’ - I’m fairly sure that, whether for kids to muck around with, or to play the sound of your own vinyl records on another radio in your own home, these kinds o

No, I know - thank you - but I mean there is no Explorer at that path in regedit for me.

This is so valid. I first encountered this in Songkick's gig archives, which - correctly, I would say - would update the names of venues when they changed. Unexpectedly - and I would say incorrectly - my archive would then occasionally

Amusingly, given this topic, when I clicked your ello link, I had to accept a cookie consent, ignore a request to 'join the creators network' (whatever that means), and the page itself has a floating header. Oh, and yes, on Chrome
