What's surprised me, just earlier today I let Codex write a minor PR for simple open-source webapp. I needed HTTPS for testing secured context Web API. (Web Bluetooth) While testing it locally Codex by itself suggests using CF Tunnels

I believe people in HN also remember the days before we had MMUs. And I'm sure everyone remembers ransomware. No one is saying OS shouldn't have security measures, permissions/entitlements and app sandboxing, user land, etc.

A little off-topic, I have to admit, I did play Doom back in the 90s and I know it is just a game. But is it just me or other folks feel uncanny seeing "a machine" playing Doom with low-latency as the first demo. While I'm op

We already had enough proof of vulnerabilities in the OS code and Manufacturers (eg. Samsung/Lenovo/etc privileged apps), there were enough reviewed apps that were used for fraud or access as bad actors. My banking works in my &#x

Norton is very heated in the comments here. But even separating this concern. Personally, the landing page itself hurts my trust of the goal. Why? When we think of a browser, before anything. We want something that feels snappy and performa

Microsoft also had Windows XP Tablets [1] and also WinCE/PocketPC many years before. While the Duo is more subtle for some changes, it might show us the "new" Apple where the innovation comes from fine-tuning and getting a ma

AI is elevating one’s capability but not replacing it. Then you have experience and skills. Someone with zero skills in music will be able to make a 'song' but a savvy producer would use tools differently and could leverage them t

In our age of mobile devices, especially with modern phones having always-on displays this nostalgic experience would’ve been appreciated on phones and watches. (They can even show up / start moving only after picking the device for b

It depends and also is culture based. In Spain you can find some places (eg coffee place) with 1-2 workers. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to get your order at rush hours, but the culture tolerates patience and waiting.

There’s still one mystery for me. I’m now at the iPhone 16. The performance of those chips with 8GB in non throttled environment (Neo..) can run as a fully performant macOS. Yet, as a phone I don’t feel upgraded performance since my SE 1st

I think that is a bold statement. It depends on who’s promoting as well as the stack and the app and the complexity. To be honest (no pun intended here), I’ve actually benefited from finding leaks and optimizing code paths by such tools. As

For non-graphene users (eg. Boring iPhone people like me). So there’s a feature called Duress PIN which as explained through some comments means you put a different pin which intentionally wipes the phone. It’s not auto wipe or wipe after

I'm not sure as others why others feel this is a major change. OnePlus was always a subsidiary by Carl Pei [1] who eventually left the brand to create a new gadgets/tech company. Nothing [2] is the next project he started that kee
