Re:Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy? on Sunday November 01, 2026 @09:33PM (#50332449)
Few years back, I bought two TVs: 65" LG latest at the time TV ($2k) and a 55" Sceptre tv from Walmart for $200. The TV from Walmart is a dumb TV with terrible speakers. So, in addition to tv I got a $150 soundbar and an Apple TV. I almost don't watch the LG one and daily watch the Walmart tv. It’s good enough in this setup.

Yes. You usually get +1 year to existing expiration date of your domain, at least this is how it works for .com, .us and few other tlds I have.

Re:Were Touch Bar's problems software rather than hardware? on Saturday August 15, 2026 @09:58PM (#49316192)
I loved Touch Bar. I hated missing functional keys. They attempted to fix it by reintroducing physical escape key, but it was not enough.

Re:iRobot Is in Trouble, but Roomba Is Already Dead on Wednesday November 05, 2025 @08:35PM (#45830407)
A few years ago, I bought a Eufy robot vacuum. Less than a year later, one of the wheels stopped working: a known issue caused by faulty gears. When I reached out to Eufy, they told me the product had been discontinued, no parts were available, and they wouldn’t honor the warranty. So be careful with them.

Re:Ask HN: What ist your AdBlock strategy? on Thursday October 31, 2024 @07:11PM (#42012477)
nextdns for whole network dns if you don't want to host yourself. if you feel like hosting, there is pihole and adguard home.
Sorry, but something which is running on .pw domain doesn't give me any trust.
