I much prefer the system the US, where you know your rate for longer. Some other countries, I think the Netherlands is one, also let you fix for longer than 5 years. But why are you, and other people in your position, screwed if the prices

I think I may be misremembering, but I got S3 working quite well in both Linux and Windows. This comment from Nirav Patel suggests it should work quite well (although unsupported by Intel as with all other modern Intel CPUs): https:/&

Slightly off-topic, but I recently discovered What’s In My Bag? https://www.amoeba.com/whats-in-my-bag/ I was surprised how interesting I found the ones with artists I like - Santi’s in particular felt very personal, b

PayPal is certainly trickier. I felt more comfortable testing with buying Amazon Prime through an Amazon account, because it would be easy for them to refund. I assume I thought of trying to remove the email address! :) I sometimes forget t

Someone signed up to Amazon with an email address of mine, and saved their credit card details. I couldn’t get any attention from Amazon, and just got generic responses telling me I could reset my password, etc. In the end, I signed up to A

Something I don't see talked about often regarding passkeys, is that they seem to be useful in addition to other methods, not instead. I've been thinking that they allow you to have long, non-memorisable unique passwords for an ac

Interested in your thoughts (and anyone else's) - is this OK for a website just serving content for consumption only, without logins, forms, etc? Would people rather that no-one can MITM and see which articles they read on the site? Or

Also, I took this line in the description to mean that it was upscaled: "4K professional remaster and re-grade by Mat Van Rhoon from HD to UHD"

Thanks - I hadn't realised there isn't even some minimal form you can submit and get generic responses on. I just tested the recovery process ( https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery ). If you don't h

These don't feel like good ideas, but I'll throw them out until someone comes along with something better. A lot of countries have a government website where you can report online fraud, e.g. https://reportfraud.ftc.gov

In the reviews I read, the 13 mini was a significant upgrade in battery life, compared with the 12 mini. Since your 12 mini is now old, even a used 13 mini (with good battery health) would probably be a significant upgrade. Apple battery re

I know there used to be such a huge range of Android phone sizes, that there was likely to be a phone in the size you wanted, and you acknowledged that the phones you were listing were not the same size as the 12/13 mini... But the Son

My usual plug for: https://smallandroidphone.com/ I think Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Pebble, has decided he will have a go at an iPhone 13 mini sized android phone, since nothing exists in that space anymore. Android r

I'm happy to be corrected, but I don't think that the main power source of turbochargers is heat extracted from the exhaust gas - it is the kinetic energy from the exhaust gas. It may also cool the exhaust somewhat, the hot side o

I've sat down and tried to figure this out, and never been happy with the solution. I carry an old phone as a spare, which also has my password manager and 2 factor codes. I asked HN about this recently because I couldn't believe

Do you have any examples of editors that show letter by letter history? I have never looked for that as a feature. Edit: I've been looking, and Google Docs seems to have version history to the minute.

It might be that both not consuming caffeine, and being very very smart, have the same root cause - like good sleep patterns. Just an unresearched thought I had!

I'm late seeing your reply, but thanks for pointing that out. I did miss that when replying. And also, thanks for not making me feel stupid for not reading more carefully! HN is better than most of the web for giving benefit of the dou

Just one anecdote, but I've reliably used fingerprint unlocking since the iPhone 5S all the way up until a few days ago when I switched to an iPhone 13 mini. Facetime doesn't actually feel more convenient to me. Oh - I thought I w

I've also just made peace with Apple not releasing another small phone - I bought a used (unfortunately not Apple-refurbished) iPhone 13 Mini a few days ago. I'm holding out hope for: https://smallandroidphone.com/

Just my Pebble lament: I caught onto Pebble too late, and bought a used Pebble Time Round after Pebble had already been shutdown. The app was still in the App Store, and Rebble.io worked perfectly to replicate the missing services. Everythi

It is a shame that Marie Kondo’s website is selling clutter - I haven’t looked myself, but I believe it. It felt inevitable. From memory, her first famous book did address accumulating possessions quite well. You were supposed to have a loc

I've just realised that despite it seeming obvious and fairly simple, the Apple Watch doesn't have a way to see the passwords/TOTP codes from the iCloud Keychain. Maybe I do need to switch those to Bitwarden after all.

Fair enough - but I hope it's port-knocking! I've never used it, and seen a lot of recommendations not to, but I love the idea.
