Re:Ask HN: What devices or apps do you use to track your health? on Tuesday September 22, 2020 @11:54AM (#24556005)
I use a smartwatch (TicWatch Pro 2020) for tracking my heartrate along with the regular scale for checking my weight.
Re:Ask HN: What domain registrar do you use/trust? on Tuesday September 22, 2020 @07:49AM (#24553386)
I haven't registered a domain for quite a while, but when I did, it was using GoDaddy. And no, I don't trust them, it was just a way to keep the hosting separate from the domain provider.
Re:Ask HN: Have you purchased a WiFi 6 router? Why? on Sunday September 20, 2020 @03:52AM (#24532569)
I did expect that this community to be heavily focused towards the security of their network, which is excellent, but am I to assume that the WiFi 6/6E doesn't interest you at all? I am asking because I didn't expect to see the newer 6E standard so soon and I am sure it's going to confuse the user quite a bit.

Ask HN: Have you purchased a WiFi 6 router? Why?

I am curious to know if any of you have purchased a WiFi 6 router or has been seriously thinking of acquiring one, especially considering that WiFi 6E routers seem to be a few months away from being released. Also, what's your opinion on future-proofing in the consumer networking market?

Re:Google Ads Removes Search Terms for 28% of Paid Search Budgets on Saturday September 19, 2020 @05:53AM (#24526327)
People were already quite unhappy with Google since the ads performance, especially since the start of the pandemic, was already subpar and the ROI was very bad compared to other platforms. But, sure, why not upset them further..
Re:Apple gives Stadia and xCloud the green light to run on iOS on Friday September 18, 2020 @01:02PM (#24519193)
Apple being Apple: "But you'll need to download each game directly from the App Store."
I don't know if it's reliable source (regarding nVidia), but you'll be surprised to know that most manufacturers do this. That's why it's better to wait for those that post updates about the product after a certain period of time and to give a chance to the smaller reviewer that most likely had to buy the stuff to test it, just like everyone else.
It needs to be seen and felt by a large majority of people, especially in the richer countries. And even then there will be political promises more than action, until it's probably going to be too late, if it's not already.
Re:DuckDuckGo is growing fast on Thursday September 17, 2020 @10:44AM (#24505225)
I don't know what product or service you're advertising, but Google has really dropped the ball the last couple of years in terms of ROI. Most get far better results with social media these days.
Re:PS5 will be ‘99%’ backward compatible with PS4 games on Thursday September 17, 2020 @10:38AM (#24505150)
99% of the games 'they tested' and I doubt they truly went through thousands of titles.
