I think the parent was referring to using awk/sed to do the equivalent of: find ... | tr '\n' '\0' | xargs -0 ... I.e., a blind replacement without the tool having any particular s…

Two years ago, we sent CDs as our wedding invitations. We also received a lot of feedback to the effect that lots of our guests had difficulty finding a way to play the discs (incl…

Yeah, the default [homes] share is really not necessary on a home network where you really just want a common share. On my home storage server, I just have a “files” user, and a co…

Some other things I find useful on NASes: Install avahi-daemon. Samba will automatically register with it to advertise SMB/CIFS to macOS and Linux clients over DNS-SD. Install wsdd…

Every distro does this. That's what a distro is .

As I'm sure you know but some others might not, the random brands with unpronounceable names (as opposed to no specific names at all) are also a problem that Amazon has created: ht…

Oh, interesting – I'd missed that Apple had shipped any laptops with Core Solo/Core Duo processors, or any with dGPUs. Fascinating.

The CPUs were powerful enough, sure. The GPUs (Intel GMA950) absolutely weren't. Even on Windows with better drivers, Half-Life 2 is a slideshow on that class of hardware.

In 2004, sure, but Valve didn't (publicly) ship Mac OS X software before 2010.

Only the very first few models of Intel Macs had strictly 32-bit processors (the 2006 iMac and Mac minis with Core Solo/Core Duo processors), and none of them were realistically ca…

No, they blocked the UK because it was either that or open themselves up to £18m in fine liability thanks to the Online Safety Act[0]. Social media sites which are unable or unwill…

Yep! Just that the post title should have a (2019) in it. Or maybe (2021) or (2025), given the most recent revision dates.

This is great, but it was originally published in 2019. See the past discussions in 2020: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22932134 (114 comments) and 2021: https://news.ycombi…

I often use my laptop for reference while cooking, and I find recipe websites are the most common and egregious offenders.

I think that is basically exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you!

And when you say “PC original”, you really mean “DOS version wrapped in DOXBox”, because it's easier to ship that on both Windows and Mac than patching the Windows version for Wind…

You're flabbergasted that Lenovo would trash a sub-brand? Lenovo? The company who trashed their own brand with Superfish?

This argument would hold a lot more water if the alternative you're siding with weren't Amazon.
