The law doesn't make it a crime for children to access social media, but for the companies that provided it to allow that child to access it.

This is an absolutely massive loss for me. I had no idea it wasn't backing up my OneDrive files. A horrible way to find out and a massive loss of trust.

This figure in the UK is unsourced and I'm fairly sure is not true (or at least not what you've labelled it), and has been quoted out of context by people trying to stir trouble no…

As always this is grossly oversimplifying. As well as the misleading safety stats, as graemep has noted, it ignores that journeys just absolutely exploded under privatisation [ htt…

Amazing! I don't know how you're doing it but there are no Shorts in YouTube now!

This is a good piece on the history of emoji and the role of NTT Docomo and Softbank https://blog.emojipedia.org/correcting-the-record-on-the-fir...

I thought from this [0] that o3 makes up using python when it doesn't actually do so, or have I misunderstood or unduly trusted that link? [0] https://transluce.org/investigating-o…

I asked Perplexity (Pro, if it matters). Seems pretty solid to me. I'm not sure this article is making any point other than "the knowledge back of static artificial intelligence sy…

Oh crumbs you shouldn't have shown me that! I didn't know about the 90mm f/2.8 macro. It looks very nice. £614 second hand..... One aspect I've loved of writing the reviews is some…

Hey all. I have been on HN for a very long time, and am generally in awe of the creativity and ideas. I created this site in part because HN inspires me; yes there can be criticism…

I know it's not helpful to say "well it works for me", but...."well, it works for me". I'll try and be more helpful: I have several Windows computers - all four now running Windows…

I'm sure there are a mix of reasons. It's definitely significant for us and as we went to Cornwall this year we spoke to people on the way there and way back who offered this witho…

I think there are plenty of decisions worth consideration, but this is nothing to do with why Firefox is declining. It's because if I buy an iPad it comes with Safari and doesn't r…

This doesn't seem to have any evidence, and just says Word _may_ have changed English.
