Re:Why is Everyone in Tech so sad? on Friday August 07, 2026 @10:07PM (#49218278)
We need a path for people effected to be able to at least cover basic needs, while also offering some kinda training into a different role that pays.

Defiantly not something most countries have setup.

Same here. I find it hard to understand people who litter.
I love bulletin boards. We had one in the apartment I used to live in. There is something about getting help/helping out super local people.
Re:Organic Maps on Sunday July 05, 2026 @03:49PM (#48797377)
Please no. This is why I left Maps.me, every time I opened maps.me I'd have to click through ads.
This is what I came to HN for too, usually it works well, but yeah not so clear in this one.

I check the comments, if it looks interesting then I'll read the article.

Yeah, housing tax changes were needed, but seems weird to also do Shares. NZ, like always is lagging behind AU, and also needs house tax changes. The housing situation in NZ dire.

Thank you!! I started watching on NBC and there video quality is potato.
no2 is what annoyed me the most. I liked it for the most part, but it was never updated, even on the software side we had very few changes. It could've been great.
You tried arstechnica? they do pretty good reviews.

Re:Talking to 35 Strangers at the Gym on Monday May 04, 2026 @08:30PM (#48016661)
Yeah, that would be the last time I show up to that gym. I'd feel it was my fault. and that I was bothering them.
I think the issue is, you can't take photos or bring friends with you into your lucid dream, so you have nothing to share with others.

It's kinda a solo activity.

SimCopter was the best game!! You could even fly around your own simcity build!
Re:Apple is dropping AFP/TimeCapsule support in macOS 27 on Monday April 27, 2026 @05:44PM (#47927769)
Damn, I can't reply to the girls comment, but it's back for them too :P
Re:Apple is dropping AFP/TimeCapsule support in macOS 27 on Monday April 27, 2026 @05:43PM (#47927748)
My app launcher loads as soon as it's triggered (4 fingers swiped in). There is a weird 5ms glitch on the zoom in animation, but otherwise it loads in within a few ms, and scrolling is smooth. I'm on a M2 MBA macOS 26.3.1

Edit, but don't take this as me saying I like the current state of macOS. There are plenty of weird edge cases I wish they'd fix, but on the whole the OS works fine for me.

Re:Google Broke Its Promise to Me. Now ICE Has My Data on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @07:10PM (#47786527)
This is what stops me from doing it. I used to host all my own stuff, with custom setups etc etc. But you end up having no free time, or reduces it at best, and it'll break down at the least convenient time.
Re:CPU-Z and HWMonitor compromised on Friday April 10, 2026 @04:30PM (#47723298)
Personally I'm fine with the scammy ads. I feel most people who would use CPU-Z are pretty technical and should be able to tell the difference between an ad download button vs the real one.

That, and you should already be using an ad blocker.

Hard to believe the video when they use all AI generated clips.
Re:Tailscale's new macOS home on Friday April 03, 2026 @02:01AM (#47623628)
It's also abused by soo many devs, just wanting there app to be seen 24/7 by the users, regardless if there app gains anything from being in the menu bar. That's why many users run out of space. Most people don't look at settings or ways to remove them (if they even give an option), so they quickly fill up the menu bar. Back in the day without a notch, people would have so many that some menu items would disappear too.
Re:GitHub is once again down on Tuesday March 24, 2026 @05:26PM (#47509600)
The Azure management UI, yes, so slowww. But the services (VMs etc) have been good.
Re:GitHub is once again down on Tuesday March 24, 2026 @05:20PM (#47509520)
ooooh, they're migrating to Azure, now everything makes sense.
They should've setup an endowment fund, could've been self sustainable by now.
Even the built in venv would've solved most of his issues too. But I agree with him in that Python documentation could be better. Or have a more unified system in place. I feel like every other how to doc I read on setting something Python up uses a different environment containment product.
Re:FFmpeg 8.1 on Tuesday March 17, 2026 @05:48PM (#47418793)
I find it helps if you paste in the the ffmpeg manual and get the ai to use that as source. Helps it stick to real params.
I wasn't a fan either. But you get used to it.
Re:Apple introduces the new MacBook Air with M5 on Tuesday March 03, 2026 @04:33PM (#47239354)
I don't mind using Apple's native Hypervisor framework, it's better then QEMU (speed/overhead), but Apple has no support to passthrough USB ports. https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/issues/3778
Re:Xweather Live – Interactive global vector weather map on Sunday February 22, 2026 @06:23PM (#47115951)
I love how you can scob the timeline and the weather updates as you move it, in real time. It's the biggest thing I don't like about Windy, it's so slow/laggy when changing the timeline. (Maybe it's better if you live in the US, but here in NZ, it's pain)
Re:Xweather Live – Interactive global vector weather map on Sunday February 22, 2026 @06:19PM (#47115921)
Daamn, was smooth as butter on my M2 Macbook
