Seems like the same system Decathlon has been using since 2019.

Would the Cybertruck still have finished faster than the Porsche 911 if it wasn’t towing the extra weight?

Sean Carroll & Jennifer Ouellette are trash hacks. They wouldn’t know quality if they where asked to write about it.

I tested with a valid email address.
The result was ‘undeliverable’.
More user pain for me…
Re:Ask HN: More Co-op games I can carry my 5 year old through?

Correct. The secret room would appear at levels 20, 30, and 40 if you didn’t lose a life.
I watched a video last night about how the special items are calculated. Blew my mind- I thought it was random.

No. Dying at 47 is fine by me.

Me and my sister (5 years younger) enjoyed the original Bubble Bobble on the NES. The mechanics are very simple. The MAME arcade version and the Lost Caves bootleg are both good.

It’s fibre from the home to your provider. New Zealand's current international connectivity is provided by three under-sea fibre optic cables with a combined total throughput of 73 terabits per second.

I was hoping for a retrospective review of Musk’s neck tie collection.
Re:Ask HN: When did desktop Microsoft Outlook become unusable at startup?

Fully agree. I switched to the web versions of Outlook and Teams about a year ago after problems with responsiveness, cpu utilisation, and excessive memory usage.
Re:Ask HN: Is there a good way to force headphone use on tablets?

I had not thought about AirPlay or Chromecast.

I wouldn’t say it’s a good way… how about plugging in a broken headphone jack- long enough to disable the speakers, short enough that it cannot be removed. Access to sound would require bluetooth headphones.
