Re:Ask HN: Which TV do you recommend for privacy? on Monday November 02, 2026 @09:13AM (#50337082)
I have a Samsung and I never connected it to WiFi or accepted their terms for “advanced features” like voice control. I don’t get any ads or any slow down. I suppose this works until they start shipping TVs with cellular modems to ping home.

How else would it work?
Opus 5.5 has improved a lot on this side. I used to be so frustrated with it breaking the codebase.

Clojure / ClojureScript codebase

A16Z was to help fund their JEV investment ;)

The Find My app actually gives really good directions.

I don’t really understand why we need this. Why another screen? iPhones, iPads, Mac’s and now another one for the kitchen.
Voice shortcuts etc

Plain text in a chat input is only one piece of the problem. What about files like PDFs and documents filled with PII.

They also say they are a fun team. Maybe it’s a pun.
Will he ruin AI like he did crypto? (Not that crypto was amazing, but he did make it worse)
Just another day.
It means they are going to raise prices for both platforms because they can.
Is 6.1 Sol that bad? Or just slow?

Isn’t there an AI startup named Rho?
Everything about GenZ makes me nervous for their future.

Don’t options expire (ex. Leaving the company)? How would this work thirty years later?
Haven’t they been transitioning to Azure?
My garage door motor did the same thing. How can an APi to open and close be $5/mo

Luckily they can’t steal your invisible monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Re:Meta VR Glasses on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @08:22PM (#49824568)
Seeing a person at a coffee shop typing with his fingers on a table and moving his invisible mouse would be…interesting.

I can see value on a plane. But I’d rather use my MacBook then look like a crazy person pretending to work.

Most likely they disabled it because it can* retain data if they deem they need to like Mythos/Fable.
I wonder if this is related to their ChatGPT where they have obscured the model you are on unless you are in Work mode?
Re:Claude Opus 5.5 on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @05:10PM (#49808153)
For this exact reason.
Re:We made Playwright 2x faster and 80% more token efficient on Saturday September 19, 2026 @01:37PM (#49768549)
Yes, we install a small piece of software on their computers because we also separately control GUI of legacy windows apps. But we also need to control web based apps as well.

Can this be used for browser automation on customer computers? The only glaring issue I see is the api tokens are exposed for LLMs.
I don’t think we can believe anything he announces these days. Any confirmation coming from Greenland?

AI flag.
Re:Astra for Law on Thursday September 17, 2026 @07:25PM (#49748129)
