But just a month ago everyone in the discussion about freedom.gov was saying that Europe doesn't restrict internet! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47067270

Also, vibe coding has really become a skill in itself. Does it allow the average non-programmer to go to production easily (and likely have bugs/flaws)? Yes. But as someone who use…

Couldn't this be true in the other direction as well? Anecdotally I see developers putting a lot more scrutiny into vibe coded PRs, while AI code tends to be highly commented (by t…

I started on the Pro plan a week ago and was already contemplating jumping to Max. When I hit a limit yesterday I upgraded to Max and hit a limit again before seeing the news of th…

The biggest benefit I see so far is the integration of ChatGPT into Siri to answer questions for me while I'm driving instead of giving me "I'm sorry, I can't show you that while d…

I definitely thought about it but that seemed a bit too crackable

I named my IoT Wireless SSID to 418. Thought I was clever, even if nobody else understands it.

You don't need to deal with the hassle of your own email server for this. Just buy a domain and use Fastmail, Protonmail, or any other service you trust.

Devil's advocate, if Tesla camps on eBay listings for used Teslas for sale and places bids they have no intention of following through on for the sole purpose of driving others to …

This will probably get a lot of hate, but for most of my questions where I'm looking for a simple answer on something, I just use ChatGPT. Gives me the answer much more hassle-free…

They're not deciding what software we install, did you read the article? The bill would require ByteDance (TikTok's parent company) to stop sending all this user data to China wher…

This is missing the core of the bill. The bill isn't a ban of TikTok, the bill is a cease and desist of sending user data to China. It gives ByteDance the option to do so, but sinc…

How this made it to #12 on HN is baffling. Slow day I guess

Looked at it and debated leaving Spark Mail but the price throws me off, and the lack of IMAP support to still be able to receive my junk Gmail is a deal breaker.

I have these to get wired connection from my rack to my home office, to add in a WAP and wire my desk computers. They've worked solidly and I get great throughput. I'm not a gamer …

That power bank serves a niche for me I've been searching a while for. I have a sound (white noise) machine I use for sleep, but it's pretty susceptible to brown outs or dirty powe…

And the fix would be to remove yourself ~30ft from the source (though BLE might have even less range). The pump itself wasn't "disabled", the dude's Android phone (or dedicated And…

I also love having the Apple Pay and automatic SMS OTP integration. Those got me to start using Safari again from FF, and the only thing I'm really missing is uBlock Origin (Adguar…

Sounds like they're living rent-free in your life.

I hate this with a passion. I can be out somewhere, knowing that there's likely a McDonald's nearby. I zoom in to my location, type in McDonald's, and it zooms out to a 25 mile rad…

> almost flawless experiences from amazon shopping In my opinion its too fuzzy, which is usually the opposite problem I have with website searches (e.g. searching a news site for k…

Not 3D printed. 2 metal barrels and some wood from a hardware store. I guess those should be "firearm parts" in New York

Only illegal in certain states, not federally

A 3D printed gun can be a ghost gun, but a ghost gun is not inherently 3D printed (99%+ aren't)

"Enabled by default" would make more sense, and imply that it could be disabled.
