> I think you are taking this a bit too far I just find it an interesting thought experiment. I wonder if this has anything to do with why a lot of companies convert your money int…

Totally agree. I don't check HN every day, some days I'm too busy, and I don't check on weekends, there are lots of topics I might be interested in, including this one, but missed,…

> because regulators care about products that start looking financially deposit-like I totally agree with this point, but I don't see how the topic we're discussing would be seen t…

Reposts is one thing, but the person I replied to was gatekeeping the discussion. If the post is flagged, that does the job of solving that for us, but telling people not to start …

> The original post was specifically about why they decided not to do this in the EU because it created additional regulatory overhead Yes, but I'm not convinced they mean what the…

I think there was an original "given" which was that in the US, (where I assume this is), these "credits" don't complicate anything nor create any regulatory burden. That's not to …

Perhaps people missed that, and would like to start a new discussion? It didn't know there was a quota on discussions of any particular topic, perhaps we should give out tickets to…

I think you're overcomplicating it. It's "ok" _because_ the credits can't be turned back into cash (thanks to their TOS). If some business tried some clever scheme where they offer…

I have the X4 and it fits on the back of my Pixel 9 Pro XL. EDIT: I use a "MagSafe" case.

Thanks, will try that now!

Thanks for that. I just looked up the banking app list and all of my (UK) banks are supported. What's the alternative to Google Wallet for tap to pay and loyalty cards?

The software is the differentiator these days with all the flagship hardware being basically the same. I would love to de-Google, but I need my banking apps, tap-to-pay and Android…

I still have my OnePlus 9 Pro, sadly I smashed the screen on day 2. Despite the broken screen it still feels and looks like a more premium device than my Pixel 9 Pro XL in terms of…

As someone who was a big OnePlus fan from the 3 era to the 9 Pro, I saw the decline, I moved over when Nexus died, and had used a mixed bag before then. OnePlus was on the decline …

You need to click the 3 dot menu and select "open in ", then you can switch apps normally as you'd expect and it'll be a tab in your browser like usual.

I opened this and thought hoooooooold on, I know that; I have a framed A2 print of it on the wall to my left. One of my favourite parts of my trip to Japan (only been once so far),…

Interesting, that's not been my experience in various places around the world (not US), and I've often been able to access HDMI ports. In the UK, they'll often put a plate in the w…

> It is very tiring to hold back the shot in a position like that. In real life you just wouldn’t do that That makes a lot of sense, and is kind of obvious when you think about it.…

I think it's just typical that this is allowed because it maximises profits; let's be real, a big fat touch screen and nothing else, is significantly cheaper than all of those expe…

> Can't usually be fucked to login for two nights so I just watch TV on my laptop I recently had the idea of taking the FireStick 4K Max that I bought ~1year ago for the living roo…

What's the correct term? Loose? I'm sure I've heard that before. I know nothing about arrows except to identify the pointy end.

Interesting you found this funny. I didn't find it funny at all, my response at the end was somewhere between a sigh and a gasp. - Mario

The screen size isn't really an issue for font sizes. Just put fewer words on the screen. There are e-readers that put a single word on the screen, this can fit plenty in a decent …

Music memories are the best. I booted up my old PS3 from my uni days (20 years ago?) and found all of the music I had on it because I used it for everything at the time. Some serio…
