"THEY REVERSED THE POLARITY OF THE ADAPTER."

Is there anyone on the HN crowd that can chime in on how common this is?

Sent an email earlier in the day :), feel free to try and create an account with [email protected] (Created this alias just for you)
Hi! Yes, attempting to create an account with my email results in an error telling me to contact support.

Support told me my provider isn't supported. I guess back to cloud9 it is.

P.S I also followed up via email.

Ask HN: Have you had trouble with using alternative email providers?

A year ago I finally said most of my goodbyes to gmail and moved over to a more private email provider (Hushmail).Yesterday, I went to go signup for Repl.it and for the first time I was told to go grovel via email to prove that my email is valid and that I'm actually a human. Sure, I stop what I'm doing and send an email. I get a reply back saying (summed up with the anger of watching the...

Re:Ask HN: Should one buy Intel-based Macs now? on Tuesday August 04, 2020 @01:39PM (#24052461)
I wouldn't hesitate to buy a intel-based mac (hell, I bought a new MBP 16" not but 3 months ago knowing about the ARM changes). My suggestion would be to hold off on any ARM based mac-purchases (with a carve out for those that only use their mac as a glorified chrome machine).

Apple gets many things right the first time around e.g many people ragged on Apple's FaceID but I think it's pretty successful in the /mobile facial recognition space/. We in the tech community are often reminded not to buy the first-generation of anything due to the inherit bugs/issues/stability so it's been very perplexing to me as to why people want to jump on being the first movers for ARM based macs. I understand that Apple has moved from PPC to Intel (and in under their two year goal) but that was a different Apple, different organization, and different leadership.

>If employees choose to relocate but their presence is required on a regular basis (1 week per month or several weeks throughout the year), depending on your budget, it is reasonable to expect them to cover their own travel costs.

Really? If my employer started doing this, I would be looking for a new employer long before I'd start paying for my own travel costs.

On the paid front I do:

Down Dog / HIIT by the same company.

https://www.downdogapp.com/, $39.99/yr for random autogenerated workouts and yoga routines and other apps all included in the price.

On the free side:

The staggering amount of content on youtube. Search for HIIT and sort by recently uploaded. Fantastic high quality content and more variety then one person would ever need all for $0/yr.

Re:Carlos Ghosn Escaped Japan on Saturday July 25, 2020 @01:54PM (#23951121)
>The plot to spirit Ghosn out of Japan was one of the most brazen and well-orchestrated escape acts in recent history, involving a dizzying array of hotel meetups, bullet train travel, fake personas, and the chartering of a private jet.”

What a fascinating read that just makes you wonder how frequently acts like this occur in the background and doesn't get picked up in the news.

I have been dying for some keyboard recommendations. I'm using a corsair w/ blue keys but I feel like the activation force is becoming a bit too much for everyday continual use (my opinion).

Ask HN: Favorite Daily Tech Equipment?

Last year I bought a new headset - the Arctis Pro Wireless and it's been one of the best purchases in a long time - especially since I end up being on a lot of calls and I cannot sit still to save my life.

I have nothing but massive respect for the everyone involved to get to this point!
