I do have real use-case, though : lights on a cable system, but long enough to light different areas (dining table AND couch, for instance). It's quite convenient to be able to control each area separately, instead of needing to turn t

Isn't that functionnaly the same as Synergy (which was opensource but isn't anymore), and it's opensource fork Barrier ( https://github.com/debauchee/barrier ) ?

Maybe it's using IPFS to share encrypted pieces of data, and only shares encryption keys through Tor?

Still not a reason for parents to follow. Replace "smartphone" with "heroin" or "taser" and ask the same question.

It does somewhat add up. I'm 42, and got our first 33.6k modem around 13-14yo. And we definitely weren't the first ones in my relatives.

Disclaimer : I have not yet played LAC, but I used to play GL117 (which LAC is heavily based on). Though visually it's bit behind what we've been used to, I found some of the fun I had when much younger in F22 Retaliator. And at l

It looks and feels pretty cool, great potential here. Somehow reminds me of CityBound (whose dev doesn't seem too active these days, alas)

I like calls and texts as well ;) One option would be to have a 5G hotspot AND vowifi feature phone, but it'd be much more convenient as a single package (not to mention I'm not even sure there are more vowifi feature phones than

That's a real good question. I always supposed their name was out before smartphones (which are definitely more "featured") existed.

More for connection sharing/tethering, actually. Just because I don't want to use a smartphone so often doesn't mean I don't have a laptop with me.

Ask HN: Are there any 5G feature phone out there?

Very interesting, but how do lucid dreaming could exist if there's nothing more than remembering? Are we, in fact, just remembering we've been lucid ? (and, thus, haven't really been?)

For what it's worth, we had much better response from our kids with Gravitrax the Game ( https://www.ravensburger.co.uk/en-GB/products/gravitrax/expe... ) than the regular one. The material is basically th

I got an used PCoIP card and compatible thin-client, and now I only move a dual-screen stand with said thin-client wherever I work in the house, while my workstation sits cool in the basement.

You're right : `The CPU version is released as binary code under the MIT license`. That's quite an unusual choice, not even sure how MIT would apply to that...

I'm not sure pointing to Google is "correcting him". But yeah, a good guide on how to use IPFS as an hidden service would be pretty useful. (edit:typo)

I somehow remember a thing about tickling being actually two mechanisms, biologically speaking. One is the light, very superficial tickling which only makes you smile, the other is the more intense kind which is able to induce full-on laugh

I don't know about standards-based, but Vircadia is interesting (and simple to self-host). Mozilla Hubs is easier to use, but much harder to self-host unless you follow their recommandation and use AWS.

I think there something Matrix side which hasn't handled the HN-induced load too well. Even on a locally-hosted instance of thirdroom (quite easy to do, by the way, congrats on that), I've got a bunch of matrix-client.matrix.org r
