I had a mouse go wonky on me like 20 years ago and Logitech sent me a new one even when it was out of warranty. And I have to say that the MX Keys Mini is the best keyboard I’ve used in years for my purposes. There are a couple things that

For everyone proudly displaying their old ICQ numbers, just be aware that there are still sites that have some of the info tied to the numbers archived (presumably what was made public/status). So, there may be some easily-access publi

I would love to have a "real language" version of these corporate press releases. They sold a product, got your money, and now aren't just stopping updates but are actively bricking the device in 6 months. And telling you to

This has echoes of Crispin Glover and Back to the Future 2. They didn't rehire him and got someone else to play his character.

I thought I was so obviously over-the-top mimicking the bot from the subject link that it would be obvious satire (and thus point out how easily something could be done on HN)… But I’m not so sure…

It’s only a matter of time before Alexa and other agents use better customizable voices. Audiobooks could have voices read by characters rather than a single narrator faking it. (If even) You have a cold but still want to give a speech with

Reddit on Mobile web has become a nightmare because of this. The back button works about 50% of the time and often just triggers a full refresh.

The odds are pretty terrestrial at that point. What's the smallest meteorite that would still be "penetrative" to a human body? Eg not falling space dust and also taking into account terminal velocities of smaller particles.

There used to be boat service between Toronto and Buffalo. That lake could be a good candidate as it connects two sizeable cities. Even if just used for goods transport? Heck, Toronto to Niagara or Hamilton could be a thing. Even better if

That's also absurd that modern news sites think they are so trustworthy that they don't even bother to cite or link to the studies or subjects they're talking about. Sometimes it's a bit insane when wikipedia only requir

The most infuriating thing is that an article can take absolutely any stance on an issue simply by cherry picking tweets to go along with it. News has become a weird kind of curation market. And the funny thing about this payment arrangemen
