I use the water lock which is a bit annoying when I need to actually swipe on the screen.

Hongju PB86-A1

And 900k litres of fish sauce.

E-reader. Went for the latest Kindle Paperwhite as it can adjust the colour temperature as well.

I always aim to stop doing anything with high cognitive load at least half an hour before getting ready for bed. Not necessarily no screen time, but coding stops, and the remaining…

A Product Manager in some AI-adjacent department needs a promotion.

I agree with you, but given that a lot of car theft is now done by exploiting the keyless entry system, it feels like there'd be easier targets.

They couldn't find a stock photo for the selfie cam instead of using AI slop?

8GB RAM and no active cooling would be miserable. Mac Mini is the best bang for buck at the moment. I have an M1 Air as well, but if I'm away from my desk and doing anything that w…

Do you think the billions spent disappear into space? It pays the salaries of everyone involved so they can eat.

Love it when it forgets the Mac apps exist, and launches Maps or Calendar in phone mirroring. I use mirroring a fair bit, but never for anything where I have the Mac app installed.…

Ye some of the weirdest issues I've fixed have been PSU related. I had a PC come to me that would boot fine, but if you opened the CD drive it'd shut off instantly.

Ye, kick off into some higher-level language instead of being at the mercy of your CI provider's plugins. I use Fastlane extensively on mobile, as it reduces boilerplate and gives …

> Why is it push to enter, pull to exit at all? So that in an emergency your escape route can't be blocked. Also having doors swing out into corridors is bad practice as you're mor…

And those stupid stylised "fonts" that create problems for screenreaders by using obscure Unicode characters.

I thought that as we're seeing issues with LON, but their Manchester POP is also down and that didn't have any maintenance this morning.

My guess would be those are going into the rumoured OLED models coming out next year.

You can't put one app on top of another, so that mitigates at least the 1st stage of this kind of attack.

USB4 is supposed to have proper labels: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2602229/better-usb-labels-ar... I don't know if that necessarily helps though, because I've seen USB3 cables…

And again in 2010, although as far as I'm aware this was just based on speculation and it was never proved that it was intentional, or that the optimisation would have netted the g…

Yeah there was this the other day, although I'd expect the hardware for this is much smaller than is shown in the photos in the OP: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45294766

They are getting rid of comingling which should reduce some of the counterfeiting problems: https://www.geekwire.com/2025/after-years-of-backlash-amazon...

I'd say it's a mixture of chaos engineering and load testing. They know what performance they need for a safe flight, but they want to know how much margin of error they've got (an…

It's in the Apple PR https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/08/an-update-on-blood-ox... > sensor data from the Blood Oxygen app on Apple Watch will be measured and calculated on the p…
