Thanks, I suspected as much. I'd contend that I've done neither of those things but will instead take it as an opportunity to re-evaluate my choice in even spending time here. Time…

How is it helpful to post an example of a buying guide for over the ear headphones? It solves the exact problem the OP pointed out: that they don't know what to buy and don't want …

You're asking what's wrong with wasting money?

Perhaps paranoia on my part but this opens them up to deprecate that support whenever they feel like it.

> nor do I want to invest any time learning about headphones https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-over-ear-hea... ~ 5 minutes of reading time and done.

No doubt Apple will have made a great product but that doesn't oblige you to buy them! What would the Airpod Max bring you that your existing Airpod Pros don't? What problem will t…

C'mon. Just because there is one C++ app without remote exploits doesn't mean all C++ apps are immune.

> They should then think again about their choice of using teams. What percentage of Teams users do you think have a choice in their use of Teams?

The OP is asking for more detail than “not enough”, though: “Can it escape the Chromium renderer sandbox? Or is that sandbox disabled?”

Like I said, there was a vocal minority. Did you forget that he was widely mocked for being so dismissive of an obviously very impressive product?

Oh, for sure. It’s going to be a big deal to use techies and represents a huge shift in terms of who holds the power in processing. (that said, the vast majority of PCs won’t be ab…

> Appreciating the iPhone is largely done in hindsight. I’m sorry but that’s definitely not true. Yes, there were a vocal minority of folks who said the iPhone was nothing special …

I doubt that very much. The iPhone was a true revelation: in user interface, in form factor, in the things it allowed you to do. The M1 is amazing but it doesn’t compare. Performan…

I was a little confused by this part because MS is already happy for Office to run everywhere, in browsers. Given the in house expertise that’s given us VS Code I wouldn’t be at al…

NYC can already do that: it's not uncommon for express lines to be shut down overnight for work to be completed, for example. (the entire system is shut down overnight right now an…

Info from the MTA here: https://www.mta.info/press-release/nyc-transit/new-full-year... I regret to inform you that the NYC subway has many more problems than you experienced. Befo…

As someone living in NYC I can attest that the local/express lines are great. But I'd kill for 95% reliability! The on-time performance in NYC is somewhere around 80% and likely to…

This notion always makes me laugh. Which is better, Google Maps or the old MapQuest pages that had arrows and reloaded the entire page when you wanted to move the map? I know which…

That's a lot more overhead. For one it requires you to spin up an entire JavaScript engine! I don't know if it was ever implemented but the beauty of doing this at the HTTP level i…

Do people often refer to 'bleaching' when they use BleachBit? I've never heard it used.

Of all the places to use that absurd made up concept of "bleaching a server"... Hacker News ain't it.

One big annoyance for me is that every song I play now shows up in my YouTube history. For me, watching videos on YT and listening to music are activities I do in two very differen…

It feels like a trope to even say it but it amazes me how badly Google have handled the transition from Google Play Music to YT Music. For me YT Music is an inferior experience in …

I doubt they care. What I suspect Salesforce realised long ago was that they don't need to appeal to their end-users, they just need to appeal to the managers in charge of signing …
