It was iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini. OP is N-1 on his model numbers. I had the iPhone 13 mini. It was a great phone, but interfaces aren't being designed for that small of a canvas any more. It increasingly got cramped over time,

A lot of features included that other registrars charge extra for. Vanity/forwarding email addresses is one of them that I use the most often.

Interesting thing I found the other day: > In 2006 Slichter said that payola was how his band Semisonic turned their song "Closing Time" into a hit. Slichter stated: "It cost something close to $700,000 to $800,000 to get

There is some weird inversion going on here. First, I can't find a reason why anyone would laud banning this app. It seems like it's done A LOT for the creator economy, more than Snapchat or Instagram did for anyone before TikTok

I discussed this with a friend pretty recently. I wondered whether I was getting "older" because I couldn't find anything I liked about the current rappy-pop or soft, high-pitched chic-pop that you hear over loudspeakers at t

The only reason I have an Apple Watch today is because I 1) broke my iPhone when the waterproof case I had failed, and 2) sale on amazon pushing it below $200. If the watch waterproofing fails, it's a lot less catastrophic than an iPho

I'm using something called "Sharpmind - Brain Formula" by Solaray. I don't have an hard-evidence that the ingredients are working against this particular issue, but I can say that it has made me feel a lot better/mo

I had this, but not too badly. I started taking a brain-support supplement and it has made a dramatic improvement. Kind of like my senses, reflexes, energy have all been enhanced basically back to what they were before I got infected with t

More like a content blocker. The websites can ask, but there's not guarantee the user will accept. Really no different than browsers asking to show popups beforehand.

Again, this should have been a >browser feature< instead of a website feature. I trust Safari and Firefox WAY MORE than I trust the website's owners to actually block cookies and protect privacy, as well as implement this in a be

I still have prime, but only to keep shipping costs down. I don't use any of the other junk. I second the used media. That's a great way to very affordably build your collection.

I keep saying this. At some point, some very smart people are going to figure out how expensive React is to build and maintain, and it’s going to change the conversation.

Okay. That's it. I've f'n had it with search sucking. Reading these comments is just demoralizing. We don't have to live like this, and we won't. Stay tuned here on HN.

This is just a side note, but my Instagram feed has become basically entirely irrelevant. It's just reel after reel from people promoting themselves or some product. The network feels increasingly like a rapid-paced HSN/home shopp

This is where I'm at, too. The overhead of getting a mobile app up and distributed is extremely heavy and distracting. I have taken a look at hyperview and tried it out. That's probably the only way I'll ever do another mobil

In 2022, I switched from Firefox to Safari and haven't looked back. In 2024, I'll be staying put. Either I just don't go to them, or I have really good luck, because none of the sites I visit are "broken."

It's really disappointing to see how Apple went from championing open standards in the early days of Mac OS X, especially with regard to communication protocols, to this. I want a premium messaging experience on my iPhone, regardless o
