I once asked a cashier about this and they said it saved me money. They said representatives from the large national bank had done a presentation and noted how this is the best opt…

Designed my entire house around Siri with HomePods in every room. We use it to control the lights, blinds, heated floor, play music, turn on the tv, etc. Would be great if it could…

Why would you need to get on the subway to go to the grocery store? When I lived in Paris I was within a five minute walk to at least three general grocery stores plus various spec…

I moved from the USA to France and your statement surprised me. Looking around for some data, I'm seeing around 4,600 French nationals who obtained U.S. permanent resident status c…

Maybe your specific model? I have a Makita electric mower and the difference is night and day. It's very relaxing and I mow with no hearing protection. I've tested to see how far t…

When No Man’s Sky first announced a Mac port, they promised to release on Steam and App Store. I waited a year after the Steam release for the App Store release which never came. I…

For me it comes down to security and convenience. My phone is secure, if it's stolen or lost, my payment methods are safe. If my wallet or credit card is lost, I'm canceling cards,…

Do you ever use your phone to pay anywhere? It's possible the process has evolved since you last used it. I use Apple Pay for 99% of all transactions and it's by far the fastest, m…

My understanding is, the person simply needs to be in your contacts. Nothing related to iCloud or friend connection.

I had been using JetBrains (Webstorm and PyCharm before that) for years now and just switched to Cursor a few months ago. I never liked the way AI copilots tacked onto the IDE work…

If you use Apple CarPlay, any garage door opener you have will appear on your dashboard when you are close to it. No subscription, no need for device to have internet access. Not e…

CarPlay doesn't use your car's internet, it uses your phone's internet. That's part of the whole beauty of it.

Siri can be disabled on the HomePod.

I'm not sure that the homepod belongs in this list as by most accounts it's a financial success. Nothing will be as profitable as the iPhone but the homepod enhances the Apple eco-…

But if you value your time, why would you wash your car multiple times per month?

I would probably qualify as being in the car hatred movement but I don’t lump in rural areas. I do believe that cities should be largely car free. Cars belong in rural areas but wh…

That might be the converted us$ price in China but definitely not the case everywhere they sell the car. Here in Colombia the BYD Yuan Plus EV is 199.900.000 pesos or over $49,000 …

I’m an American who used to listen to a lot of country music. I have spent the last four years in South America and before that two years in France. I can’t remember a single time …

I think this is actually the system working. The benefits of a tiny proportion of the population (lawn care companies) don’t outweigh everyone else. As a whole, the people decided …

100% agree, personally I just prefer typing but seems like I am not in the majority. I very often receive audio replies to my typed messages and it’s very frustrating. 70% of the t…

I would say I live even further than the suburbs (45 minutes from Medellín, one house every acre / 5000 m2) and we just got a second fiber option maxed out at 300mb so that may be …

Not sure what the HN rules are for self-promotion but my team and I recently launched an ATS/CRM called TalentAdmin. We're currently more geared towards smaller businesses but slow…

Understood, however from our cash flow perspective, Google is “charging” us this amount in order to play. We have no alternatives, we cannot find another vendor, and at the end of …

We are in the process of going through this but have not yet received the confirmation that our scope is approved. This process was a huge surprise for us. We are a bootstrapped st…
