> What benefits they see comes from learning how to properly touch type by forcefully breaking bad habits with their original (usually QWERTY) keyboard layout. With that I fully agree, but then again - in my mind that exactly is the va

This is pretty basic stuff, but developers and the HN audience have a hard time to accept that. Ask yourself what value you got from your telemetry lately. Also how much effort you put into it. Do you even look at it regularly? Does it stil

When discussing the title, as people often do, copy the title verbatim when doing so. The title is now "Telemetry" and 90% of the discussions makes no sense anymore.

I can pick up pretty much any PC and install whatever OS I want on it. There is a plethora of thriving communities and unfathomable amount of diversity and options. Phone hardware are in most cases locked down, and even if they are not the

Even better, bad ghosting and maybe bad delay made them terrible for gaming. Took quite a while before LCDs were viable for anything but office-work.

It is nowhere near as damaging as the phone market though, by a massive margin.

Duopoly is arguably even worse than a monopoly though.

Don't know the story about this one and I'm sure the creator is relieved to actually being able to finish it. I've "kickstarted" a few projects that didn't go anywhere (yet?), and the toil it can be for the cre

Bet he was already over budget and the time to research that and get it done are huge and with many risks if you are new to it. If you accept the look (which you did if you bought it) 3D printing seems like a no brainer for this project.

He didn't have a raid array on his laptop, that would have saved him as well, with not even a second worth of data lost. And he could use his system without replacing any drive and he would have had a much quicker recovery and could

Reviews? Feels like it is just, here, tested it once for 2 mins doing one or maybe two things. At best it gives you an idea of what to avoid but I've never come out of one of those videos knowing what I'd actually want. It also fe

The number of times I've had to google what the code-name actually refers to is mind-boggling. There should at the very least be an included little cli-app that you can query and list versions.

Noone would expect that so you'd need to explain it and get people to spell correctly. Not convinced it is a good UX. "Just localization" isn't "just". Many people have the wrong localization on their computers

Somewhat agree, but when you say typing the date you mean ISO 8601, right? That is the only sensible format for dates, and while all developers probably agree on that it isn't a given that all your users will.

While I agree I kind of think this should be nailed down before such a departure. After all, on a high-end vehicle a back-camera that hasn't sorted this is just a gimmick. Maybe they have, all my experiences indicate otherwise though I

The failure mode is pretty horrible though. And I'm not only thinking about damaged camera. Humidity, weather etc. often makes these cameras completely useless. You'd have to have wipers for your camera-lens and probably heating o

Where? I couldn't find the specs for it, but the resolution is stated as 2880x1920 which ought to be 3:2.

Looks much better, and cheaper than I expected. Quality can't be fenomenal at that price point but it looks well thought out from the ground up. Impressive! And thank you for the 3:2 display aspect ratio <3 Gonna keep an eye on th

It still isn't blind though. It's not blind trust just because you don't understand it.

How is trusting an AI blind? One of them you can test, the other you have no input and no output. Is trusting gravity blind trust?

Never saw one of these, not sure how they competed but Palm Pilot was much more successful where I was. The modern equivalent feels to me to be e-ink devices, it still saddens me to no end that apple managed to kill the e-ink market complet

Which is why this is illegal in a lot of jurisdictions (if you can see outside of your own yard).

Sure, but lets try and be a little more realistic and weigh the scenarios accordingly.
