Re:Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy? on Sunday November 01, 2026 @07:12PM (#50331369)
I recommend turn off tv via home automation involving smart plug thingy, and tv set to turn on on each power cycle return

I can only point to a big one, without a camera and with non-glossy oled high refresh rate screen - wacom movinkpad 14

Lucky 10000, there is a return window of 2 weeks :)

And again a useless camera with a bump forcing clients to use it with cover, otherwise it will wobble on a table..

As much as form factor is intriguing, I'd rather keep my 'old' pixel9a and wacom movink 14 combo.

(Bonus points, not supporting Epstein crowd with my money)

nice. Still, competitive birdwatching sounds like competitive meditation :)

I assure you will be better served with SweetHome3d

BTW, claude can output sh3d for you if you feed it with pdf containing floor plan, half of struggle removed, fun part (re)designing the house layout easily kicked-off!

in AI era, marginal cost of getting your 'anything' compatible with open systems and solutions is so low, that soon I expect only really stubborn, sad people still fighting with MacOS/Windows/PadOS
Thanks!

Re:Worms: The Future of Yesterday's Worms Today on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @01:12PM (#49275640)
Me and my brother when playing Worms / Worms 2 preferred a mode without time constraints per move, and with infinite ninja rope. Apart from standard 'one shot per turn' it also allowed you to relocate to best next position, detonate some time-delayed landmines near enemy worms, and even use physics for additional damage - if you released a worm from ninja rope with some inertia/fall, not too big so you don't get damage yourself, but energetic enough to SLIDE - it could move enemy worm without ending a round! Fun to push one or two enemy soldiers into the water before your first shot!

Re:Why did we wait so long for the bicycle? (2019) on Tuesday August 04, 2026 @02:41AM (#49165048)
what works in 100g - 5kg drone does not work for much heavier machines.

- Small UAVs are mainly controlled by varying RPM of each rotor

- Full-scale machines keep ~constant RPM optimal for rotor aerodynamics and change angle of attack for each blade for control (collective and cyclic changes).

With big inertia and no alien materials technology, it isn't possible to apply 'quad' design for your average SAR helicopter.

Och, if it supports LaTeX, we can also use it for memorizing math formulas while piloting a helicopter!
Re:The Xteink X4 E-Ink Reader on Wednesday June 24, 2026 @01:56PM (#48663440)
the point of having an e-ink reader (at least for me and anybody I know who actively use such device), is to read things, so keeping doomscrolling options is *not* an advantage..

Man, they just take away one of implementations, RSS lives as a standard! It is actually good to understand how cloud services are never going to benefit us, long term.

Try toying with ideas & projects which give back agency to the user.

Read manifestos from Anytype [0] and Reticulum [1].

Contribute or implement something using GrapheneOS, Nix/NixOS, Immich, Tailscale/Headscale, Home Assistant, SQLite, BespokeSynth, OpenStreetMap, Organic Maps, Columba, FluffyChat.

Maybe run local LLM and integrate it with your workflows/lifeflows?

Hardcore is not dead. [2]
