- Comment on Microsoft paid $13B for this tech 11 months ago:
If only they paid $14 billion, it would have included the base64 to image capability.
- Comment on This Engineer Created The Best Version of the Apple Magic Mouse 1 year ago:
I’ve been bitten by this. I’ve gotten a battery warning in the AM at the start of a day and had my mouse die in the early afternoon. It’s annoying that I can’t just charge it while working so I had to dig around for another mouse and use that while it charged. I hate that I have to check the charge on it and then forget after a while because it does last a long time. So it’ll die on me and I’ll get good about checking charge for a few days and then forget for a while and boom it happens again. If Apple sold this config I would definitely replace my current mouse with a better design.
- Comment on Salt solution cools computers, boosts performance 1 year ago:
It was admittedly a low effort comment posted exclusively because it made me chuckle. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that make the day worth completing.
- Comment on Salt solution cools computers, boosts performance 1 year ago:
I don’t see any possible issues with salt solutions near metal components. I mean cars drive through salt all the time and it’s not like they rust. The whole in the floorboard of my car is obviously a feature that was time-delay delivered.
- Comment on Does the USPS, FedEx and UPS give a crap about weed shipments since Hemp sprayed with th same terpenes and looks the same as weed has been shipped legally for 9 years now? 1 year ago:
The lady at the local dispensary said that most of the product is grown in state to ensure it’s not a felony to cross state lines with it. She did say that in the earlier days there was shady practices in driving things up from Cali but now it’s all in state.

Going to miss Lower Decks till next season but looking forward to the episode. What Trek series is up next? Is there a final Discovery season releasing soon or another series between now and then?

Arkansas has upvoted your comment and taken notes.

It’s similar but only take into account financial and professional information. As I understand it, the Chinese version also covers your daily activities.
- Comment on Netflix is planning to raise prices... again 1 year ago:
Damn Netflix keeps trying to get me to cancel. Like they are working hard at losing me as a customer. If my kids didn’t watch random stuff on there I would have already pulled the plug on it. This could be what does it.
- Comment on Leaked screenshot shows Amazon is now tracking individual employee office attendance records, reversing its anonymized data policy 1 year ago:
The stock vests across 4 years and then you get a refresh. There are a lot of staff that started 2019-2022 that are thinking about their lost value. Amazon will offer extra stock so they don’t lose money but many people are driven to work there from stories of the people previoiusly that would see their share price increase dramatically month to month like from 2013-2020. That’s what everyone got used to. So if you were told you got 60k of RSUs across 4 years, you knew it was really like 150k at least. For those that started like 4ish years ago that is no longer the case and I wonder how it will impact staff attrition.
- Comment on Microsoft Needs So Much Power to Train AI That It's Considering Small Nuclear Reactors 1 year ago:
I mean it’s fine so long as someone remembers to pay the Mcafee bill right???
- Comment on Leaked screenshot shows Amazon is now tracking individual employee office attendance records, reversing its anonymized data policy 1 year ago:
I’m wondering if they get away with it despite the lack of stock movement. So much of staff compensation is tied to stock price. Staff previously got RSUs allocated and stayed because they went up in value every year but lately it’s been stagnant. People are less likely to put up with this bullshit if there is no big payout at the end.
- Comment on Now see what the writer's strike did? 1 year ago:
This is going to be the best season ever! Might have to start watching Paw Patrol now. I’m betting they cross the line in pursuit of justice and face some uncomfortable truths along the way.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Do these still require a Facebook login? I’ve wanted to get a VR headset for a while but am waiting on a device that isn’t too expensive and doesn’t require Facebook.
- Comment on X can now ask users for government IDs to verify their paid accounts 1 year ago:
I noticed that my brain is automatically doing the translation now from X -> Twitter. I would however prefer that we continue referring to it as Twitter
- Comment on [HN] YOLO-Driven Development Manifesto 1 year ago:
This is amazing. It feels like the author is my spirit animal for documenting all of my mistakes across 20 years in technology. I shall print and frame this.
- Comment on Why US tech giants are threatening to quit the UK 1 year ago:
The issue here is that the UK isn’t doing something good in this one circumstance. You can’t create a man in the middle encryption scheme and hope your the only man in the middle. It fundamentally breaks the baseline security and privacy of the solution.
- Comment on Why US tech giants are threatening to quit the UK 1 year ago:
I think the commenter meant the saying we have in the US which is call and write your representatives/senators. They were indicating doing whatever the UK version of that appears to be falling on deaf ears as the article states the politicians do not appear to be taking the advise of educated advisors so they are also likely going to ignore the public.

We all know that the look of the interface will stay the same throughout the lifetime of the car. At least with CarPlay or Android Auto, it represents the interface of your phone. CarPlay is a hard requirement for my vehicles.
