When I'm working, I'm at my desk, with a keyboard, mouse, and monitors. But the reason why I have a light laptop instead of some beefy desktop computer is the convenience of having…

I frequently sit on my balcony, with my MacBook Pro in my lap. I'm still alive. I also frequently use that computer, that doesn't have vents on the bottom, for watching movies in b…

That's overly dramatic. I don't think a new Macbook Air today is a worse value proposition than some Mac from 35 years ago. I just checked Apple prices from 1991: - Mac Classic II,…

I don't want to compare anyone to Michelangelo, but the opening sentence of the aticle is more than flawed. My daughter got some painting classes in that age, and I saw work of som…

You don't need to go that deep into the article. Just - emacs. Of course I know what it is, I had to google the name to find it's EditorMACroS

I had a buzzing problem with AirPods Pro 1. Apple replaced it (both headphones) after year and a half of use, for free.

I'm probably missing some context, but on my Mac I'm using three fingers drag and I can lift fingers and (quickly) reposition them without breaking the drag.

I bought Kindle Paperwhite with ads. Get tired of ads. Tried to pay Amazon to remove ads, for some reason it didn't work (I'm not from USA). Contacted customer support, explained w…

80% optimised charging, 100% battery life. iPhone 15 Pro, manufactred - September 2023, first use - November 2023.

So if I have a company that sells, say, manure, I can search and hire a voice actress that sounds exactly like Scarlett to promote me in radio ads? And write a tweet that vaguely i…

I understand that making a good app is hard, and don't want to undermine your effort, but $150 for a todo app... ouch.

Huh? Rust, Go, Swift and probably many more languages does the same.

You can type names with only upper case letters and be gramatically correct.

Because it's easier to touch empty space and adjust fingers. Back when I worked on Thinkpad, I really hated these keys, whenever I accidentally pressed them. I don't say you're wro…

Yoir sample of "normal people" is vastly different than mine.

Most editors have zz functionality. Ctrl+L for VSCode, JetBrains tools, and SublimeText, for example.

At this point, whenever anything Apple-related comes to HN front page, I can bring up a bingo card with pre-canned responses and cover at least 80% of conversation. Same with go fa…

You can preview it in VSCode. Open command pallete, type "Color Theme", click on top on "Browse additional color themes", and type "catppuccin" in the box. Arrows up/down to previe…
