My comment has been weirdly controversial, but I'm not sure why. I get that LLMs have problems. I was recently looking into the differences between a flash drive, an SSD, and an NVMe drive. Flash memory is one of the technologies I ha

Remarkably, Youtube's logged out experience will still be completely available to all age groups. And an a Australian HN user mentioned that one 14-year old had another (presumably older looking) 14-year old do the "video selfie&q

This is false. Like all the age restricting laws being passed around the world, the implementation is not being specified and is being left to the individual platforms, which are using some combination of photo ID and video selfie in order

I mean, we're watching the world try to figure out how to use a new set of tools. As with so many disruptive technologies, the initial stages of development appear to be drop in quality and inferior to the status quo. That usually reve

Kids also cannot sign up for internet service, or pay for it. So in both cases, we're talking about society gating access to something, adults obtaining that product legally and bringing it into their home. The question, then, is who

Their DRM seems to be okay, but they do have some weird bugs. My biggest gripe with Valve right now is that I bought a copy of No Man's Sky on GOG, and then I also had a copy on Steam. And so I let my son play my Steam copy through Ste

It isn't tribalism, at least not from my side. There's a tangible, noticeable, immediate difference between buying a piece of hardware from Valve and buying a piece of hardware from Google or Apple. I really resented Valve after t

> Though I am not outspoken about it, I think individuals need to come to terms with telling themselves no. This really resonates with me. I feel like self-control has gone out of fashion, but it has a lot of merit.

To modulate your cynical take somewhat, it's remarkable to me that all the devices are completely open. You can install anything you want on them, which makes them more than a storefront. It makes them a device that works for the user,

Yeah, I get it. I don't want any of that, I just want a filesystem. I'll take care of cloud storage with SyncThing (or whatever) -- I'm the kind of guy that values being able to choose the parts. I don't buy "cold m

Never owned an iPhone, but I have familiarity. Here's Apple's instructions for "exporting" your photos from iPhone. Note: it does not say plug the iphone in and drag the photos from the "Photo" folder to your

The file system is the ultimate API, and it gives the user an enormous amount of control to take data, copy it, back it up, transform it, encrypt it, send it places, restore it, etc. Apple likes to have far more control than that.

So Google and Apple are already known to work with US government agencies. This was revealed in the Snowden leaks in 2013, and confirmed on multiple occasions since. Neither Google nor Apple tell you when apps you're downloading from t

Indeed. But then that makes me wonder why anyone thinks their hypothesis is particularly strong that this is happening. To make an inappropriate analogy, this is like assuming that somebody's house has weapons, and so you demand to go

Both are simply software changes. In one case, they're going to have to alter the software to not delete chats that users request to be deleted. In the other case, they'll alter the software to log new information. Neither of thes
