    Wonder where this leaves folks who paid the annual rate? Here’s what Claude said: https://claude.ai/share/1a4293bd-b2d4-41b7-a887-eb42b3ae8b6e “ The standard answer here is no — An…

    Is the historical aspect of the archive coincidental? It seems like Google archived ads; and those ads provided historical context. How does this information get supplemented by ot…

    That’s awesome! I’m not a musician but just impressed by an app with great focus that stands the test of time. Makes me wonder why Apple doesn’t have an area for exactly this type …

    I’m not sure, but seems like there should be a difference between someone conducting research while testing theanine versus someone just consuming theanine to battle anxiety. That’…

    Are Dell’s like this encompassed by that article? https://www.dell.com/en-us/search/linux … What about System76? It seems like the article makes blanket statements that might apply…

    I’m more surprised that it’s taken this long for a big bad tech company (or companies) to exclude software or hardware releases to the EU. No matter how much of a hit to their (ver…

    Did Fast Company have a similar version of this for Google I/O, OpenAI’s conference, Microsoft’s Copilot+ unveiling, Alexa’s last big presentation? Apple — all alone — is a threat …

    Regarding links in the article, it’s definitely lacking (as mentioned links like this: https://blog.chromium.org/2024/05/manifest-v2-phase-out-begi... ) but also why don’t articles…

    What is easier than Apple’s App Store to install & drag to Trash to uninstall. And, non-App Store downloadable dmg installers (and app update utilities available to 3rd parties — a…

    So I think a lot of people say that they’d rather print photos at a drugstore (or some other online service), which totally makes sense. But if you completely ditch printers at hom…

    Next year, why then? Genuinely curious what keeps you hanging on. Seems like Google’s apps and services rise and fall like the tides, so why not now.

    The math around cost of ownership is just vague for EVs. (Tires instead of oil changes mentioned in the article is worse than vague though, at least with respect to cost.) But even…

    I wonder if it’s possible to take a car offline or at what point it will become impossible to do so. Because if GM - and others can do this — there’s no doubt that at some point ca…

    Hi @rahilb, this sounds very intriguing; but I have a question regarding the In-App Purchases: what do these do? Is the app a trial that eventually requires a subscription or lifet…

    Done, account deleted, and thank you for the heads up. Genuinely, thankful for that post and maybe the most important social network I’m a part of: Hacker News.

    This is a typo right: "macOS dominance declines”? Or clickbait maybe? It doesn’t seem like macOS from its lowest figure mentioned in the article (~15%) to its highest (~21%) domina…

    Interesting. People with older hardware might not be able to run new software or process data at the same speed or efficiency as people with the latest hardware.

    This is great, although I wish the new mobile app they’ve alluded to was a higher priority (but I realize that’s being greedy). Arc isn’t for everybody but if it “clicks” which req…

    New car. Small car. Expensive car. And, electric car. I don’t think this is entirely an electric vehicle issue. Interest rates and high prices for small cars seems bad enough. If t…
