Jail, jail, jail. Nothing less will stop these Gestapo-esque thugs. And if you’re waiting for the mid-terms, you’re already acquiescing to their plans. Also, it says something — to…

In explanations I believe, over the decades government programs have been difficult to deal with in good part because Republicans and their like (sorry if this seems political, but…

25 years ago, a recently hired junior accountant would just run a cost accounting report and hand it off as if it were golden. Those of us who knew the system(s) would check the re…

1) As I saw Rossman recommend the other day, once Android phones are locked down, just get an iPhone. I’ve had a Pixel 8 Pro and was considering the upcoming 11. If this lockdown g…

If a person did to me what these virtual people (corporations) are doing, I could have them prosecuted for stalking.

One bit of very simple feedback. Keep the prior/older versions online. 1) There’s value in older (e.g. pre-AI) perspectives and tools; 2) Different presentations/wording may click …

Mechanics are a "cost center". Modern "Management" does not like paying for "cost centers". The rest is atmospherics. (The US has, in general, taken a similar attitude towards publ…

His prior dishwasher videos rescued my parents' 30-ish year old dishwasher -- one they had previously been advised to avoid replacing as long as possible, as modern units don't hav…

This is what I expressed considering, in another recent thread. Phone does phone things and "necessary" apps. Otherwise, it's a hotspot for the "unhindered" device. I'd enjoy sugge…

I recently bought an iPhone (Pro Max, on a secondary number) to have one on-hand to better tutor and troubleshoot for my parents. I just had to provide an instance of that this wee…

IIRC, I saw some reporting that Hungary was spending (far) more on ads targeting other European countries and those elections, than on ads targeting their own. In other words, an i…

Close to 20 years later, people still complain about the ribbon. (1) I think that says something about it. -- 1. And not just "grumble, grumble... get off my lawn..." Many of its c…

I took advantage of that to generate Mandelbrot and Julia set graphics on one. It was fun as a coding exercise, but pretty slow processing.

Years ago, someone well-known quipped that the biggest gang in Chicago was the police. I've read reporting on civil asset forfeiture abuse for many years -- the inclusion of "abuse…

> I've found them indistinguishable from the OEM ear pads. Thank you. I was doubtful about the third-party replacements; I'll give them a try. I still think it's scandalous that Bo…

Their ear pads are terrible. I was extremely careful with mine, keeping them in my home office and carefully setting them down with the ear pads uncompressed when not in use. Nonet…

One year was insightful, when in a meeting we watched our management rewrite their own performance plans on the fly to pass them. They even threw in the minor only partial success …

What the parent says. I'm hoping this HN thread will help clarify this. Currently, I view the entire paradigm as asking me to trust resources (software, hosting, etc.) that I am no…

After being a heavy Excel user for a few years, I was away from using Excel while this change took place. It's been a long time, but as I recall it, when I then sat down to do some…

I don't have Pi 5 to check this, but from what I've read, it does not support PPS. And such support is required; otherwise, even with a source that supports PPS, the connection wil…

Does anyone remember the Firefox extension Scrapbook, from "back in the day"? I used to use it a lot. Look "back" 5 - 10 years, or more, and it's striking how many web resources ar…
