They had a perfectly working search box in Windows 7, then gutted it and made it search the web whenever you wanted to launch Notepad.

Seems like the site is down :(

Don't like to see comments like these. I think it violates several HN guidelines, including this one: > Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the com…

I got curious and searched up your examples. While the StarBook looks like the most compelling alternative to the Framework laptop with coreboot and good repairability they don't s…

If they had Apple input devices (Magic Keyboard, touchpad, etc) they don't work over the wire.

This feature ("Reactions") should've been opt-in. But Apple knows best for their users :P

Define "easily"? Non-tech-savvy users will never even touch an install USB or know what regedit is. They'll just see the dialog saying "your computer doesn't support Windows 11", c…

The comment is arguing that if Meta were to change the rules, they could easily block such sideloading of APKs by pushing out a simple system update. I don't think they will given …

You might have some luck with Ruffle.rs

By capable, the hardware is, but the software isn't. IIRC macOS removed the libraries required to run 32-bit applications back in Mojave or Catalina. So it's not really lying. Whil…

Just an FYI, but iPads can no longer be used as a HomeKit hub as of last year: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213481 (Yes, you can technically use an iPad as a hub if you are on…

Twitter (or X or Y or whatever the heck they're calling it nowadays) doesn't show replies if you're not signed in, which breaks all tweet threads. Amazing hostile UX right there.

It's a remote that charges via the USB-C port. If it doesn't follow USB 2.0 spec, or the USB-PD spec, or any spec associated with the type-C port, how is it supposed to get power f…

Yup, I noticed it after publishing. I'll check with the blog theme and see if that is possible. Sorry!

Author here; I don't think my blog post is in support of the USB-IF (unless I missed a sentence I wrote somewhere that insinuates otherwise...) I just think selling defective produ…

Hi, author here. The quote you mentioned from Wikipedia indeed says that devices don't have to implement all the capabilities of the connector. However, further down, it says the f…
