Everyone complains about one little update breaking your PC, or random things not working, but my Windows 11 laptop for work has been a nightmare, too. I'm always terrified to let …

This sort of thing has existed for a while, but it's not picked up in the mainstream for two main reasons (at least based on my anecdotal evidence). 1. The friction between a zippe…

I would pay for this. 100%.

Wasn't that an edge case, though? Not even done by a bad actor, just someone misguided? And it was discovered and quickly corrected, unlike what would happen on something owned by …

The font is hard to read. From a usability and accessibility standpoint, I'd recommend changing it.

This is amazing. Much prefer this to helping train autonomous vehicles.

We're using GoFundMe as a bandaid for healthcare, to the degree that the CEO went to beg Congress to pass more government assistance in COVID-laden 2021. https://thehill.com/blogs/…

Fair point.

How much money does it take to manage and develop a web browser? Was it necessary for them to create a whole new way to deliver ads to support it? I feel like a lot of these tech n…

Putting aside the whole "I'm rich and aimless, what should I do" thing the author's got going on, I found the product they got rich for (Loom) to be fascinating as a statement on w…

It's odd that they include the phrase "a board game invented in prison" in every photo caption. Is this an AI caption thing that repeats the same descriptor each time? > Dana Lopez…

Congrats on your privileged position! I'm glad you are able to retire, but not sure this is the best time to crow about it. I'm trying to eke out enough money to put in my 401K and…

A long time ago, I decided a day was successful if I helped someone, learned something new, or made something. It's a low bar to clear, so it isn't intimidating, but it drives me t…

Maybe I was just a bad kid, but if my parents had done something like this, my friends and I would have pooled our cash and bought a used phone. That wouldn't invalidate this and i…

Not if I burn them! Then they contribute to the air quality issue! Time to go cry in the corner!

I'm still not sure how they plan to enforce this. Even now, I see an age verification popup on both illicit sites and even sites I feel are innocuous. But I can just click that I'm…

God, this thread is bleak. Not undeservedly, but...woof. Nobody's mentioned antibiotic resistant bacteria much that I saw, so that'll probably keep being more and more of an issue.…

This was fun! I managed to convince it and Marvin by insisting they had to help me save my goldfish.

It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure it actually accomplishes much. I do some purple team work for my company occasionally, and if I scanned a network and got back a bunch of…

I'm such a baby programmer that Advent of Code is still challenging for me, so it's fascinating to see people taking it and exploring all these new languages and platforms. I found…

"This body is built on the ruins of all the people I have ever been." - The Simplest Words by The Narcissist Cookbook. Grownups aren't just big kids, but we're standing on the rubb…

So, I had a emoji in my original post that indicates a joke around the trademark comment, and I didn't realize HN automatically strips those out. I appreciate the clarification in …

> I think the OP would disagree or simply say those who want to be on the web can do it, It's relatively easy, your ambitions can be simple and that simplicity is more authentic th…
