I love my plastic ThinkPad, but it's also nice to use good-feeling hardware with a good haptic trackpad. It doesn't need to be replaced every two years. To each their own!

Because it's probably extremely profitable, unfortunately. I have seen many of my coworkers click on the headlines and ads on the MSN homepage when bored at work.

I know that Windows 11 doesn't get a ton of love on HN, but I have successfully replaced my M1 MacBook Air with a Surface Laptop 7. The build quality is great, and I even think that the Surface's haptic trackpad is superior. Howev

Why would Apple enshittify their News app in this way when there are so many legitimate advertisers out there? It seems obviously damaging to their brand, so it makes no sense to me.

In my experience, OpenAI gives you unreasonable amounts of compute for €20/month. I am subscribed to both and Claude's limits are so tiny compared to ChatGPT's that it often feels like a rip-off. Claude also doesn't let

After the obvious failure that is the Vegas tunnel system, I don't understand what politicians are seeing that we don't to keep approving these projects.

I can understand supporting a podcast by having the host read ads themselves, but dynamically inserted ads in audio podcasts are the worst. If you don't live in the USA, the number of advertisers is limited, so you end up with 1 to 3 d

Lots of uninformed conspiratorial comments with zero proof in here, but I'd really like WhatsApp to get their encryption audited by a reliable, independent 3rd party.

You are confusing the Conseil d'État with the Conseil constitutionnel. The Conseil d'État definitely makes rulings and sets precedents. However, it cannot control the constitutionality of laws.

It's also blocking the word "test": https://www.theverge.com/news/868362/tiktok-epstein-ban-hoax... Looks like it's just a bug.

Because many settings still aren't available in the "Settings" app, you often have to dig into the Control Panel (most notably for power options). Microsoft support forums and ChatGPT, which I think would be used by non-techn

Absolutely not sarcasm. Control Panel is a mess and keeping it is only confusing for most users.

by timpera 8mo ago
I wouldn't be so certain of this. People on HN hate it for sure, but this is a bit of an echo chamber.

by timpera 8mo ago
Microsoft really needs to retire the Control Panel and other old-school elements of the OS. Windows 11's design system is very pretty and user-friendly, please finish the transition to it ASAP!

Dual boot with Fedora on my laptop, and my desktop at home is a Mac mini M4. I really like Fedora, it's my Linux distro of choice, but the experience is not as nice as on W11 in my opinion.

by timpera 9mo ago
W11 is the best OS I've ever used, but everyone seems to hate it because Microsoft is so adamant in destroying its reputation by pushing Copilot and bugs instead of focusing on reliability. It's a shame.
