That'd be great but governments often don't make specs and source code available. Governments don't make things open. The amount of stuff councils and state governments gatekeep about road specs alone... Argh.

Plenty of things are addictive. I don't think this is one that should be intervened. I wish we had more personal responsibility today. America's meant to be the country of freedom, right?

That's not done on an NPU though, even if it could be. That's all done on companies' servers and won't be changing.

Now y'all are just analysing the UX of YouTube and Chrome. The problem is that by agreeing to close the tab, you're agreeing to discard the comment. There's currently no way to bring it back. There's no way to undo. AI c

Incredible. Purism has come a long way. It's amazing to have a truly open phone. A lot of people don't know how hard it is to mod an Android phone. You have to worry about drivers and firmware, security protections and attestation

But that is how licensing works for Steam games (that require it). I don't want invasive rootkits, locked down software, or resource consuming software. Steam is light compared to other alternatives. The best option is to buy games fro

There's no migration path from Skype to Microsoft Teams (Personal). Microsoft hasn't picked one as far as I know. Microsoft similarly has a bunch of duplicate services and products. They've got chat functionality spread acros

Doesn't help that Epic Games has three instances of Chromium. Add that to Steam's and all of the games' instances and you've easily gotten at least 2 GB of duplicate instances of Chromium. Edge and Edge WebView, at least

I think it's because the apps have additional functionality and because the services push users to use the apps on their websites. Some of the additional functionality is artificially limited to apps as companies can put more tracking,

Another concerning web API is the Battery Status API. See demo[1]. Firefox and WebKit have not implemented it thankfully but Google refuses to remove it for some odd reason. How it ever came to be boggles me. A low-power API would make much

Dopamine is chemical that makes you feel good. The algorithms are made to increase engagement. Some of the most engaging content is content that makes people angry or shocked. Look at the YouTube homepage when you're not signed in. You

This could be because iFixit is trying to be more consumer facing so they can sell more of their repair products. A wild guess. More likely that they're getting paid by these manufacturers though.

And people don't even know about the issue mentioned in this post until after they've bought it. They don't know where the issue lies. They don't know what AptX is, let alone AptX Voice.

While Android shows you which codec and even lets you pick, Android doesn't let you customise output and input devices so you can't avoid the low quality hands-free profile like you can on desktop operating systems. Windows doesn&

Windows Ink? Do you mean Windows Ink Workspace or Windows Sketchpad? It was Windows Sketchpad that I really loved. After Microsoft axed it, they released Whiteboard. It felt very... not-native but had the titlebar of a UWP app. It was terri

With services you get a lot of lock-in/exclusives. Two examples are Discord and Netflix. I wouldn't say you have much of a choice if you want to join a popular place to chat or if you want to watch Stranger Things. The user experi

Google's fight against Firefox isn't so visible on YouTube. I'd say it's mobile, Google Drive and their video calls. Google does a lot of A/B testing and I'm surprised someone on HN wouldn't blame that fir

And truth is, as long as you have exclusive content on a service, the quality of your app (and thus the satisfaction of your end users) doesn't matter all that much.

I love how one of the top things Google pushes with AMP is its performance when Google sites are quite slow. YouTube flunks Google's own Lighthouse benchmark and it's not like it has sorting, filtering and searching features or a

I've seen the same posts you have linked and can only conclude that they've currently been using either React Native for Web or are using a React website in an Electron app, and are planning on releasing a RNW app. The current app

Last I checked Facebook Messenger has yet to use RNW: https://twitter.com/Eli_White/status/1422790525694844928?s=2... RNW actually has about three teeny tiny customers that no one has heard of except for the Micro
