It has a microsd slot, so I don't think the 64 GB limitation is that bad.

Fair point
Re:How we made hit video game Prince of Persia on Friday June 12, 2026 @10:17AM (#48504465)
Prince of Persia came out in 1989, while Flashback arrived in 1992. In the late 80s and early 90s, pc video game tech was evolving at a breakneck pace, a 3-year gap was an eternity. Prince of Persia ran quite well on an 8-bit XT, Flashback needed a 16-bit 286. They are basically from a different era, and Flashback was surely inspired by PoP.
Re:What Happened to Gem? on Wednesday March 25, 2026 @04:38AM (#47514802)
My family's first computer in the 80s was an Amstrad PC1512 (an IBM XT clone). We received 4 nice colorful system floppies with it, and it included a GEM Desktop. I remember sometimes logging into GEM, because it looked awesome, but we never had a single program to run on it, so it was practically useless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlUTzydzLVI

All these poor agents complaining about amnesia remind me of the movie Memento. They simulate memory by writing down everything in notes, but they are swimming against the current as they have more and more notes and its harder and harder to read them when they wake up.
The article specifically mentions that the weight loss was not enough to explain the effect on the migraine: "Importantly, while participants’ body mass index declined slightly (from 34.01 to 33.65), this change was not statistically significant. An analysis of covariance confirmed that BMI reduction had no effect on headache frequency, strengthening the hypothesis that pressure modulation, not weight loss, drives the benefit."

crazyguyonabike still looks like a website from 2000, and it has an active community.
Re:The first non-opoid painkiller on Thursday June 26, 2025 @12:56PM (#44389148)
How about metamizole? That is a painkiller (at least according to wikipedia), and it is definitely not an opioid or an NSAID.
Re:Storefront Web Components on Wednesday May 21, 2025 @04:02PM (#44055697)
No, you don't need hydrogen or any other framework to use storefront components. You can add store functionality to any page (even to a statically served html file) just by adding some html code.
Re:Toyota completes phase 1 construction of futuristic city on Wednesday February 26, 2025 @02:33AM (#43181553)
The final phase is going to be 2000 people, which is small even for a town, or even for a midsize real estate project inside a city. Calling it a city just feels ridicolous.
Re:Toyota completes phase 1 construction of futuristic city on Wednesday February 26, 2025 @02:11AM (#43181444)
360 people are moving in? This sounds like a futuristic apartment block, not a futuristic city.
I drink two cups of coffee a day (in the morning and after lunch), and I put a tablespoon of mct oil in each of them. In the first few days I had minor diarrhea, probably it makes sense to introduce it more incrementally to avoid that.
I only started taking mct oil a few weeks ago (but I felt the effects basically immediately). I've been using this product (I think it is a local hungarian brand) https://nordvital.hu/products/mct-olaj-500-ml , but I doubt that the effects are specific to this one.
It's a long shot, but my mild long covid symptoms practically disappeared since I've been taking MCT oil regularly. I was motivated to try it after reading this article: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37415915/.
Re:Former President Trump is projected to win the presidency on Wednesday November 06, 2024 @04:09PM (#42069438)
The most important sign is that he already tried to keep the power when he lost last time. And he still does not accept that he lost. This alone is more than enough reason to never vote for him.
Re:Former President Trump is projected to win the presidency on Wednesday November 06, 2024 @01:11PM (#42066586)
I'm a citizen of a country where the authoritarian leader captured the state and mostly destroyed democracy. So we managed to find out whether he was a danger to democracy or not (he was). What sucks, is that when it is proved, then there is already too late to do anything about it (because by definition you can not send them away in an election). So my 2 cents: if there are any signs that someone is a risk to democracy, it is better be safe than sorry, and just choose a different candidate. Everything else can be corrected in the next election, but not this.

There are games like this, just look for pixel art games. E.g. Terraria, Stardew Valley, Enter the Gungeon, etc

Ask HN: Are gut problems behind everything?

I have autoimmune diseases, and I'm in a constant search for lifestyle changes which could potentially improve my condition. If you start to read up on health issues like this, you really quickly end up reading about food sensitivities, leaky gut, gut biome problems, and inflammation.However, if you go to a doctor, then there is 95% chance that you won't hear about any of these. Alternative...

In my experience, early intervention can help. I got tinnitus at the age of 30 (from a pressure trauma during scuba diving). I received some kind of dementia medication after 2 weeks, and the tinnitus was gone not long after that (and never reappeared). The doctor funnily said that a side effect is that I'm gonna feel smarter :) I'm not sure if it was the medication, or the tinnitus was just temporary anyway, but it was a really loud and unbearable noise for a couple of weeks.
Re:Ági Szabados Does Not Need to Apologize to Me on Tuesday October 03, 2023 @09:19AM (#37751449)
For the note, I'm a Hungarian, I read books regularly and also read the major news outlets daily, but I never heard neither about Agi Szabados, nor about this controversy.
Re:Ask HN: Where to find open source house plans? on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @10:12AM (#37236213)
In Hungary there is a public project to create freely accessible house plans with all necessary documentation to start to build them. The website is only available in Hungarian (but google translate manages to translate it quite well), and the houses are mostly really small compared to American standards, and their style is just way different from American houses. Anyway, let me drop the link here, maybe there is something interesting to be found there: https://www.oeny.hu/oeny/nmtk/mintatervek

Re:New cars make me want to Saab (2020) on Thursday March 10, 2022 @04:39PM (#30632833)
The problem with Dacia is that it is not just simple but also a cheap car. I would be happy to buy a simple good quality car, but Dacia saves money on plastic quality, noise insulation, engine power and seat comfort too (among others).
And the official russian propaganda arrived to HN.
