They've been losing money on the $200/mo plan, so that's my guess.

Unfortunately ChatGPT just stopped allowing people to upgrade to the $200/mo subscription. I started my first paid subscription ($100/mo) last week, and now I want to upgrade and I can't :-(

TFA is paywalled and the archive link someone else used didn't work. Thank you for copy-and-pasting how they did it.

It took me a bit to realize you mean "MAPs" (so-called "Minor Attracted Persons") and not cartographical instruments.

I'm surprised Twitter didn't implement it earlier (before it was bought and rebranded to X). Also, is The Times admitting they were in possession of the illegal pictures? Does Freedom of the Press protect against that?

I'm not anti-AI (I have a ChatGPT subscription), I just don't like bloat and nagging.

Another user on HN that reported that their guest connected their TV to the guest's phone hotspot to watch Netflix. So you have to go a step further and remove the Wi-Fi card, because there is no guarantee that someone else won't

It says they're freezing at Android 16 because Android 17 has more tracking and that kind of stuff, but then they go on to recommend Nova Launcher which sold out and has ads and who knows what else?

Maybe acetone on the Kobo, as it looks like it is printed directly onto the plastic, but for the Kindle, I think it was under the glass.

What I would appreciate is them not plastering the logo/name on the front where it's staring you in the face as you try to read. I already bought the damn device, stop advertising (harassing) to me! (Both my previous generation K

Aren't those designed fit the page, in other words, to keep it looking the same, it would have to be squished (and unreadable) to fit on the screen?

I just bought a Kobo Clara Color after purchasing various Kindles for years. It requires an online setup (account). A quick search did not find what your saying. Can you please post a how-to or link one (that I couldn't find)?

They make the NexDock which other HN users have mentioned. I'm a little interested in a NexDock, but not a fan of having to carry a third item: a USB cable. It would be cool if they made a built-in retractable USB-C cable. What'

I forgot where I heard this, but the thought is that if a country takes the world's best and brightest, it means those other countries that they are coming from lose their best and brightest, making it harder for those other countries

What certifications will they strip if they don't have the certifications to begin with.

You could probably then copy-and-paste those into a PPTX file created by PowerPoint to make sure there were no weird things going on with the file(structure) that might cause problems later.
