    I'm in the same position ... just got my first mac, love the hardware, but man, I don't know why everyone is so smug about the software - it has a fairly similar number of annoyanc…

    Yeah, genuinely sad when he passed. He's not the most influential person in computing, but for some reason, he was the one person I most wanted to meet. Probably the way he present…

    Sorry, what is stylus? I'd love to get that configured. Those pop-ups are damn annoying.

    I used to take this position, but weirdly enough, the app store version of Jellyfin worked better than the one I had loaded onto a FireTV, so I changed my mind. Might need to revis…

    I jsut had this happen - it was my first visit to the site and probably my second page load. Tried opening the About page and it was completely blank. Thought it was odd & reloaded…

    Seriously, there are no limits to his graft. This is commercialisation of insider trading. He is shameless.

    Ours is a FoxES or something and the included app is pretty straight forward. You can easily set it to ALWAYS pull from the grid during specific times and it will (along with the s…

    Am I right in thinking that Elm has lost a lot of momentum? It is barely discussed on HN anymore and I wonder if the releases/news have a lot to do with it. Look at the time betwee…
