Same. I opened the purchase page multiple times already, but I always close it because I realise that I have no use for it. Everything cool that you could potentially do with it is illegal.

One of the posters posted a video of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6dazJk9AtU It seems like the ghost touch issue, and not actual hacking.

Why "be careful"? Yes, he could have made more money, but he would also be risking losing all of it. The purpose of diversification is not to make you more money, it's to reduce your risk of losing everything. It worked as in

Why do you think that being spread out is an issue? Niche forums like HN were exactly how the internet worked before mass social media arrived and ruined everything. Going back to this old format is exactly what we should be doing in my opi

If you have Guitar Pro, you can download the gp files from Songsterr and open them directly in GP. I like this because I can then have the same features (apart from the Youtube bit) with all of GP's added goodies.

There is a balance to this. If you always only listen to others and never speak about yourself, you fail to build connections with them (because they know nothing about you). I had the opposite problem, I made every conversation about them

Home automation. I always had an Alexa and a couple of WiFi switches, but I just discovered the rabbit hole of Home Assistant, Zigbee devices, flashing devices to get rid of cloud capabilities and install your own firmware, and the whole or

The fact that everything needs to have a "purpose" (not just with tech, but with life in general) is something I continuously struggle with. I know I'm not supposed to care about it but I have a really hard time applying it i

I work at FAANG and have no degree. Checking for degrees used to be a thing but I don't think anyone does that anymore. I had the same feeling as you (regretting not doing traditional CS). I ended up studying it on my own and really re

I think it's really sad that despite all of the evidence that meditation is good for you, people still treat it as some kind of pseudo-science hippie non-sense. It makes sense why people would think that since this started as a religio

I couldn't find any official statement from the Swedish police about this case. The "proof" is once again that an "anonymous investigative police officer" said it and they assumed it to be true. I imagine that there

Seriously? According to the article, their only "proof" is that four criminals said "oh yeah I do this trust me bro". This qualifies as "investigative journalism" today?

I never worked at Twitter but I can relate to a lot of what was mentioned about the culture, especially the "you have to be a politician" bit. Seems like all large tech companies are the same after all.

I don't know how he can be this stupid to try such a thing. Many companies tried to replicate WeChat in the west, and they all failed because nobody wants to have some gigantic clusterfuck of an app on their phone. It works in China on

As long as Gabe is CEO I don't think Valve would pull-off something that stupid. Once he's gone though anything could happen.

I think this is just something that changes over time. Could I spend every single waking moment of my life (aside from work) playing Zelda? Sure, I guess. Will I? Nah. Not because I can't, but because as I grew up I realised there are

Not everyone has fingerprints. I don't remember exactly how it happened but my mother-in-law has terrible fingerprints, anything involving biometrics is a massive pain in the ass for her.

You're assuming that just because it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for anybody, and that's obviously not true. Writing is exercise for the brain, it's a fact that this is a good thing for you. You just might

Xcode uses `mdfind` to provide symbols in crash reports and for Instruments, and is the reason why it seems to have a life of its own and work only when it wants to. Spotlight indexing is extremely flaky for reasons I'm not aware of.

In addition to that, you need to live at least 20 minutes away from the center if you don't want to burn your entire salary on housing and food. It was always expensive to live in the center, but after the recent inflation spike it bec

Not really excited about Apple trying to shove SwiftUI into everything. I really hope you'll have the option to use UIKit here. SwiftUI is great if you're building simple things, but a huge pain in the ass for anything remotely co

This sounds exactly what a 13 year old would say about life being over at 20. Or a 22 saying life is over a 40. Or a 40 saying life is over at 50. Or a 50 saying life is over at 60. See a pattern?

I am not sure. I think part of the reason is that programming lives completely on the digital plane, while other fields tend to have physical components that can't be faked and allow you to grasp someone's knowledge in a much more
