    True, that would be preferable, but alas Samsung is bent on making their products as big of a pain in the arse as possible. At least with my Samsung soundbar, the remote can change…

    If 1.2 PB is a problem, then why don't they just specify a bandwidth limit of say 1 PB? They specifically say "unlimited bandwidth", so yes, what they are doing _is_ scummy because…

    The fact that this has just disappeared from the front page for me, just like the previous post ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41651548 ), somehow leaves a bitter taste in …

    Same thing in Germany, with WetterOnline ruminating data from DWD (the German meteorological service) and then suing them when they offered their DWD WarnWetter app for free. Unfor…

    I'm continually amazed by the (lack of) quality of their laptops and the scenario described really reinforced my opinion of HP. At work, I've used a ProBook, a ZBook, and two Elite…

    They claim that the new models "are significantly less likely to refuse to answer prompts that border on the system’s guardrails than previous generations of models", looks like ab…

    And Firefox as well if I'm not mistaken. On their download page, I can choose "Windows ARM64/AArch64" as platform: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/

    It's not the network that's the bottleneck, but the Javascript-bloated mess of the frontend. edit: That isn't to say that Jira and Confluence are the only offenders. They aren't ev…

    I asked Bing Chat why it says it can't create images for me. >The Bing Image Creator feature is a new feature that allows you to create images with your words. It is currently avai…

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one who can't stand the new design. Fortunately, I found that Wikipedia allows to select the old design in the account preferences when you're logged …

    I migrated to Aegis a few months ago and would recommend it. Exporting the configuration was a bit tricky, but I found a guide on GitHub: https://gist.github.com/gboudreau/94bb0c11…

    Huh. When I compare RAW output from my D5300 (using the default 18-55 mm lens) and a Pixel 6, the difference is staggering. Granted, the JPG output from the Pixel is usually on par…

    Eh, different people like different tastes, sure. I wouldn't judge someone for liking the taste of a Red Delicious. But there are some practically universally disdained qualities, …

    Cables in both Berlin and Dortmund were severed around the same time. This smells of a larger, coordinated oepration.

    I simply cannot reconcile it with my conscience to not only indirectly but also directly pay a company that now practically operates according to the motto "be evil".

    As of yet, there was only this one big strike that is a real problem. The frequency of micrometeoroids of this size and energy was predicted to be fairly low, so it isn't certain y…

    I really don't get it why Google doesn't show forests at >13 zoom. I've read people claim that this makes the map easier to read. But I can't be the only one who orients himself on…
