Why would I want to play a game where the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, trying to get a bit less poor myself? I already do that in the real world.

I just discovered DuckDuckGo's Cloud Save started allowing users to persistently block sites from their search results. I'm not sure when they started this, but it can't be longer …

With that, attackers need two gadgets instead of one. Where’s the end?

I have been feeling an itch to build a personal "everything" database for some time now. Use cases: - Knowledge Management / Journal / Zettelkasten - Link Archive / pinboard.in rep…

Note that the Pi 5 has a real time clock - you just need to add a small battery and it will keep the time when powered off: https://picockpit.com/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-5-has-a-…

Guessing here: If you have a breaker switch after an additional switch, labelling the breaker with 'on/off' may be misleading as 'on' doesn't necessarily mean the connected device …

I have an unorthodox suggestion: get a bicycle rear radar like the Garmin Varia. They communicate via Bluetooth LE incoming cars, their count, and an average speed (in a set of ran…

I think being so heavily pushed by Apple is actually a downside for ObjC here. I really enjoyed programming ObjC when I was programming for iOS and Mac. That was mostly because of …

Please not that Hulu has stupid georestrictions. Please think of the people outside US.

Quite funny - I know someone who uses a similar setup to send GPS Coordinates for a Quadcopter and a Plane via the audio channel of the video link (he flies the Quadcopter/Plane wi…

The funny thing is that the biggest operator in Germany, T-Mobile, offers the biggest horseshit there.

Seriously? 5 months to create a product (assuming you don't have anything right now, based on the not-existing pictures & the scenes from Iron Man as the product video)? That won't…

You can be sure that no one with a computer running on a battery will ever visit your website again...

I tried for more than a minute to split earth in two. My physics-brain just expects it.

While I like the Arduino movement very much, I don't see what's so special about this. It's a breakout board for an ATTiny, with some vreg and an usb port on board. So what?

Discussed before. This is essentially a bad scooter and a bad bicycle combined. You can't use bike lanes in most countries and the motorcycle performance is bad too.

I don't know about the current state of the cooling mechanism, and I don't want to doubt there has been major spills of nuclear water in the past, but why are they so sure that thi…

I approve this too. Don't go to Germany. As a German citizen I really hate to say this, but recently there has been a hitch in the media where there were protests by neonazi groups…

Seriously? Why are there multiple posts like "xyz is down" on Hacker News every other day? Isn't there "downnews.net" or whatever?

150ms is too long for FPV. Others have tried it. It might be flyable, but it won't be good.
