I'm glad you know the solution, but non-HN people are going to just accept whatever Google shows in big text.

I'm a little confused, what is the usability issue?

This is just not true. There is no competition. Cities have Comcast or Spectrum; they don't have both. #3 and #4 in Wireless just merged. It is literally T-mobile, Verizon, or AT&T. Where would the consumers go to? They all do the

This was so cool to see again. As a kid, I couldn't learn how to tie shoes, and it was actually this site (and the Ian knot) that helped me finally learn to tie them. I still tie them this way :)

Not exactly. Airlines (in my view) are not a perfectly competitive industry: there are extremely high setup costs and barriers to entry. It would be very very difficult for a newcomer to compete with the established ones, at least in the US

Very true. Apple is in a prime position to make strides in language model development on their hardware. An Apple-designed LLM that runs locally would be amazing. Especially if they could integrate it with iOS or macOS.

Reminds me of a Louis Rossman video [0] where he shares his frustration with Apple's independent repair shop program. He says that to get access to genuine Apple parts (and the ability to pair them to devices), Apple requires that his

It's also hard to distinguish between legitimate security threats and scare tactics designed to make us think we're in danger. Remember the Bloomberg Supermicro "bombshell"[0]? I still don't know if that was ever

And I'll go on the record saying they are. Musk said he would step down as CEO, he did. He said he would rename Twitter to the monstrosity "X", and he did. I don't believe him very often but this might be one of the time

I interned in Phoenix this summer. It was amazing to me how many elementary schools would fill their soccer/football fields to the point where they were literally flooding the glass. I saw it happen on a monthly basis, likely to preser

I have to give it to Apple, they seem to be one of the only mega-corporations willing to screw over other large businesses to protect their customers. App tracking transparency, precision location control, machine learning tracking preventi

This is different from intentionally sabotaging and degrading the user experience of a service, then advertising it to the world and telling them they should join, which appears to be what the original comment was saying.

Hopefully Apple listens and implements something like this. They've already shown that they'll bend to their users even if it means screwing over developers and other large companies. App tracking transparency and precision locati

They made it in 2021 if I remember correctly[1]. Was originally designed for children, but they're just now releasing it for general use. [1] https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/10/22613225/apple-csam-sc

Autocorrect now uses a language model so it won't autocorrect 'fucking' to 'ducking' if it thinks that's how you speak. It learns slang / curse words now, whereas before you would have to manually go in an

FaceTime in full HD was not supported until 2020, and it was only on devices that released in 2017 or newer. It is more than just a 'call'

Remember, this is a feature update. Security updates still get pushed to devices nearly 10 years old.

Why would Apple intentionally worsen the experience of Apple Music and then advertise people to sign up for that very same platform? What does that accomplish?

Even though the older chip runs on the iPads which DO support USB C SS.

The cameras seem to have the same number of megapixels. Maybe you, as a frugal old white guy, would appreciate having USB-C and no longer having to pay for the proprietary Lightning connector.

Except iPads using older SoCs handle faster USB C speeds just fine.

Microsoft is not shipping mobile phone software! I fault them for breaking older apps, yes, but this is not always the case. I have an app that is 7 years old and it hasn't been updated for any phone since the iphone 7. I see the black

> They really do try to talk you out of it. Who? Apple? I can't find any statements from them begging us not to use it. It's also a dumb argument since they can just --not-- release the feature if they don't want us to use

No, you'll have them because Texas (ahem, ERCOT) decided to isolate their power grid from the rest of the country.

People don't worry about air pollution until it's too late. I'm thankful for things like the EPA clean air act and the global prohibition of CFCs, but more needs to be done. My favorite website for monitoring air quality is I

Ah, love this one. I remember the first time I heard of it several years ago. I actually thought about it earlier today, when a few of my uni classmates mentioned to the prof that they were from Buffalo. Didn't speak up and say the mon
