Re:Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy?

Disconnect the TV from internet and use a solution like Apple TV for apps you would like in TV. Even better is a Mini PC connected to the TV if you are savvy enough.

I suspect it will not be a language in the traditional sense. Instead of describing how to build a system, it would describe the system's entities, relationships, goals, constraints, NFRs etc...
The application model becomes the source of truth, and the code will be the generated artifact. A single spec defined and code generated will be optimized for web, mobile, desktop, api, etc...
The spec itself can be in a yaml type format or a hierarchical knowledge graph...

Interesting point of view - for me security and privacy was the primary reason I moved from Google Account.
I moved to Microsoft 365 Family. I can connect using Yubikeys - one that lives in my keychain and the second stored security at home as a backup.

I moved from my Gmail to Microsoft 365 Family. The move took around 2 years to slowly migrate all my accounts to the new one.
I have also connected it to my custom domain so that if I need to do this all over again to a new provider, it will be much faster - since I can point the domain to the new provider.
I am very happy with Microsoft 365 Family, since it gives me Office Apps, 1 TB storage, custom emails for upto 6 people in the family.
Re:Ask HN: What is your system for backing up family photos and video?
on Tuesday January 18, 2022 @04:09PM (#29985852)
My current approach is to store all photos and videos from mine and wife's phone to Microsoft OnDrive and Apple iCloud.
The photos are then synced from OneDrive to my desktop PC as well.
Everything automatic, grouped into folders in yyyy-mm format

Since only the first page got saved, it may be that the save was not working for some reason. Were you saving it to a network drive (or) an external drive?
Curiuos issue since I have not seen it happening - i mean the corrupted word doc with some pages...
When it happend, the whole document was lost. Word refuses to open it at all.
