There is nothing wrong with wanting to be compensated for your work, but for people like myself which use a cloud managed DB solution (GCP CloudSQL PostgreSQL) it means something l…

Some thoughts for framing. Are data centers a national security risk? How is that different than the national electrical grid who h is already critical to national security. It sou…

I have had good success with my dell montiors over the years. Only problem is they are not created equal, they sell to every level, entry/cheap office/gamers/high end docks/color c…

How important is "the best" OLED vs the second best or 100th best OLED? I am personally ok not buying the bleeding edge to not get malware onto my OS.

Two things can be true. The data centers can be driving up electricity costs, causing pollution, planning issues, and computer hardware shortages _and_ people can be finding the to…

My assumption would be, when there is a large corpus of crash reports for a certain configuration of hardware, knowing if it's a hardware failure, driver bug, or software incompati…

Considering the creeper was originally supposed to be a pig in alpha, checks out.

Somewhere between ~15-75+ billion USD. Higher end if you want to include the hardware R&D/etc, which is arguably core to their metaverse concept. I love the idea that they don't ev…

Narrator: The AI was not infact infallible.

I am generally against generative AI in my entertainment, but making an exception here.

When I spec'd a M1 air for my partner back in the day, even though she didn't really need it, I made sure to get the 16gb model for the longevity. Devices shouldn't be disposable t…

Where my brain went.

Low cost carrier. Think Ryanair. Competition from the rest of the market and bad management put them in a bad position, with the most recent war causing unsustainable fuel issues. …

Looks like Bitwarden has a statement here, https://community.bitwarden.com/t/bitwarden-statement-on-che...

Now if only I could get the product team to fully understand that implication.

I honestly want to follow you around for a day. I am reserved with how I engage with technology. It needs to be making my life better, not extracting value from me. Tech for tech a…

The scenarios I have taken extended downtime for. When an OLTP's DB needed a serious overhaul for some reason and it was cheaper for rollout to plan operational downtime than risk …

Thank you for the reality check. I like to assume people are coming from a certain baseline on HN, but I sometimes forget that certain topics have a passionate user base represente…

More than 25% of users seems like a pretty accurate "probably".

Personally switched from VZW to Google Fi. It's on TMOs network. As you can imagine, when engaging with Google's support was hilarious when there was something I needed, but overal…

While the .eu should make that more obvious, the text is pretty small/low contrast. Also specifically indicates it's the Dutch market. https://pcpartpicker.com/trends/price/memory/…

Unless laws are enforced, the laws don't matter.

I don't know how many maintainers that are impacted by this, or what they are getting from Jazzband (I was not previously familiar), but the Apache foundation may be something to l…

This is not an either or issue. There are policy issues all around. The "left" isn't creating an magical "other" in the form of panic about "woke"/"immigrants"/"terrorists cells"/"…
