On MacOS, I use my own built app called HEAP which lets me archive in various formats locally (full page image, pdf, markdown, html, and webarchive) via a single right click of the menu bar button:

I had to call a customer once whose name was Courtney and it tripped me up when it turned out to be a male..
Now I wanna know what the original link was?
Will that be a list of websites we should all hack?

I wish there was a minimal Casio watch which only had heart rate tracking (with high frequency polling too).

I am very into powerlifting and bodybuilding. So, I've been religiously following Mr Olympia (once a year event which is the largest bodybuilding show in the world). Last year, on Mr Olympia day, there was no thread about the Mr Olympia. Similar thing happened this year:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bodybuilding/comments/1wqgday/do_we...

How does the bodybuilding sub not have tons of threads about the biggest bodybuilding competition? I don't know but I think it's because people gave up on posting due to abusive mods:

Last year, I made a post on that sub with comparison pics of the top 3 competitors. That post got deleted by the mods saying it was a duplicate of existing post (???). I tried messaging the mods that there was no duplicate and they first gave me attitude and then silenced me from messaging them.

Vitamin D has helped me as well as many of my immigrant friends tremendously when we moved from South Asia to Canada. Been taking 5000 IU for 15 years.
Any specific brand SAD lamp you recommend?
Re:The new iPad mini on Tuesday October 27, 2026 @01:13AM (#50254939)
I'm on iPhone 13 and only reason I'd like to upgrade is my battery is poor now and because I have a small crack on the back glass, Apple requires me changing both the back glass and battery which is $500 CAD.
Could also put one of the thrusters from SpaceX rockets (or the roadster now) to automatically turn it right side up if it happens.

iOS developer here. The oldest iOS Apple lets us currently submit apps for is iOS 15. So yea, this version is pretty old for most apps.

The chase scene was the only part where I could see how the one-shot method caused them to run very very slow which kind of looked funny. The slowest chase scene ever.

It's "Adolescence". Each episode is single shot. Also other than Stephen, the child actor's performance in it is outstanding!

If you enjoy good action movies, Extraction 2 has long single shot action scenes too.
Re:How many shots are in the average movie today? on Tuesday October 13, 2026 @11:50PM (#50082171)
I'd recommend checking out the movie "Boiling Point". The whole 90 minute movie is shot in a single take and is incredibly impressive. It's a restaurant setting.

Also, the main actor has also done a tv show with a similar "single shot" for whole episode you may wanna check out.

When submitting apps to Apple, all browser apps are required to and are basically glorified WKWebViews. Apple doesn't allow any other browser engines when submitting apps to app Store.

Re:Account bans on Reddit on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @05:31PM (#49999058)
Would the following work (just spitballing here)? If there were a site like reddit but where communities were only allowed a maximum of lets say 10,000 users, after which a Community_2, Community_3 etc needed to be created where other users could join. And none of these communities were allowed to have overlapping mods.

Is there a specific number of users for when Usenet’s eternal September kicks in?

We are not on Stack Overflow.
I saw that yesterday. I am concerned about this issue where after doing it, the system data exploded to 74 GB:

Ideally would like Apple to give this option.

Tell HN: Apple not letting removal of AI models on macOS 27 is outrageous

I feel like there's not enough outrage over Apple not removing their Apple Intelligence models on macOS 27 even after disabling Siri.I have a 512 GB Mac mini but because I have so much data, I also have a 2 TB monthly iCloud subscription. I have Siri AI turned off. Yet, my storage settings show 30 GB is occupied by useless Apple Intelligence models which I don't use. And these models can't even...

I just wanted to comment to say I love Photopea and have been using it for 6 years I think. Best piece of software imo.
Re:Updates to Full Disk Access in macOS on Friday October 02, 2026 @04:41PM (#49938357)
I am a developer and recently I was troubleshooting an issue with my macOS app where it was working fine on newer macOS but failing on older one only when I archived it (last step before submitting an app for Apple approval). So I'd archive it on my new macOS and airdrop to old macOS and try to run it. Every single time, it'd tell me it was unsafe and ask me whether I'd like to delete it. I'd have to dig through multiple settings screens to "open anyway", enter my password to get it to finally run. What a nightmare not being able to easily run my own app despite having same developer account and Apple ID.
