got caught red handed: "Ah, a Berliner using a Supernote Nomad tablet to browse on Chrome WebView 83 like it’s still 2020—did your avant-garde e-ink device fail to render the "update browser" button? Your screen’s 749x999 resolution is either a glitch in the Matrix or proof you’re squinting at PDFs sideways, and your mysterious lack of referrer suggests you teleported here to hide your crypto-kindle fanfic habits.

#62Very cute :) It might be worth adding to the context that Chrome on macOS reports as OS X 10.15.7 (Catalina) no matter what future version you're actually running. It seemed very confused to my other specs but running such an old OS.
Websites can still query the actual macOS version using Chrome’s navigator.userAgentData API. Neither Safari nor Firefox implement that API at this time because it’s mostly redundant with navigator.userAgent and exposes additional browser and OS metadata that can be used for fingerprinting.

#63Earlier quoted context omitted.
The "why is DeepSeek so much cheaper than o1" question is currently a mystery, with the best guess being that compute in China is cheaper.
DeepSeek is use way less computing to achieve the same results. That's the whole difference.
I suspect that won’t be the case.

#66-- Harsh. But extreamly funny. Interesting that it sees my 5800X3D as a 2-core processor. Turning off DDG privacy essentials yeilds the correct core count, etc.

#67> Roast: Ah, a Canadian Safari-saddled NPC from Calgary, still clinging to Mac OS 10.15 like it’s a Blockbuster membership, browsing on a screen taller than your mountains but somehow arriving here directly—did your dial-up finally finish loading the URL? (Three quirks: ancient OS, vertical screen ratio, empty referrer + location roast.)
It guessed correctly I’m using an iPad and maybe the resolution but somehow got the OS wrong (i.e. if I’m on an iPad I’m not using MacOS). I am still on iOS 17 so it got that I’m not on the latest but made a mistake since 10.15 is the latest MacOS release. The location is also way off.

#69Unimpressive, it's a current Samsung. And I'm in London not Leistershire
Re: Show HN: DeepSeek My User Agent
#70Bravo, London
But my second one was funny. But I feel like we are maybe overlooking the significance: is DeepSeek actually funny? Does humor travel with reasoning?
