We need it! Am a fan of this site, hoping to get open source companies to work together. There is also a status page where products and their progress have been detailed:

Do you believe we're all running Windows 98 and rebooting every hour? Where a 9/8 cost difference would not be worth the increased reliability?

Retirement and health savings accounts.

Handheld mobile no. Laptops could, but rarely/never do due to policy not technical requirements.

Are Nvidia using ecc ram? If not this should mean it is less supply constrained than regular ram.

No mention of ECC RAM, the single thing that I wanted from an upgrade for a decade? Why do chip makers refuse to take our money?

A few years ago we were told only "Pro" parts have ECC: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37828168

What about the cameras on those things? Overhead? Did you pay cash?

Education is good in general, but because alternatives are not common and sometimes not even allowed, there are very few places left to avoid surveillance. Educated or not. Not to mention our schools use google docs.

This looks quite interesting. Any jobs available in this field? What are the chances of getting an entry-level job in this after finishing the course?
Is someone cutting onions in here?
Re:Ask HN: How many HN'ers Celebrate Christmas vs. ? on Wednesday December 24, 2025 @11:18PM (#46382026)
It’s a winter solstice celebration, with decorated trees that precede Christianity. That’s why the manger is over on one side, and St Nick on the other. They were amalgamated together.

Fast to develop, fast to run under modest to reasonable requirements. Few things need to scale further.
That disagrees with your statement about the cybertruck.
The front is rounded which is the place you'll hit in the vast majority of cases.

> USB-C and display output charging now supported via rear USB-C port.

Yeah! Been wanting rear ports for a long time, since my old Dell about 15 years ago. No need for big cables across the desk.
