News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

whynaut

security patches are one thing.

Having drivers for my hardware broken/corrupted because Windows thinks it knows better, is another.

Having to download a third party program to clean up said driver mess before/after I can update any of my components, is another.

Re:Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’ on Monday July 24, 2023 @10:51AM (#36849002)
I think ‘sexy’ here is just implying how it has become a status symbol.
As uncomfortable as some of the timings are without the tracks, it still feels a lot more bearable.

If the timings could be adjusted I feel shows might actually be better off.

> An option like that is specifically designed for hate

This is very short-sighted, I feel. The controversial comments often have the most interesting discussions, and helps to avoid the issue of the top-voted comment being a popular, but incorrect, view/discussion where all the activity happens.

he makes criticisms all the time though. I don't understand why people make these sorts of claims about people if they don't watch them.
Re:Apple Vision on Thursday June 08, 2023 @11:18AM (#36243330)
that virtual keyboard option was already in the keynote. There are also videos of just connecting bluetooth keyboards.
Shameful such a short-sighted conclusion sits at the top of HN.

Watch Marques Brownlee's video on it. It's vastly better than anything before it in both hand- and eye-tracking.

> Are the cameras adjusting focus based on where you are looking?

Yes. Marques Brownlee describes this in his latest video.

Re:Apple Vision on Tuesday June 06, 2023 @09:28AM (#36212385)
They did, but not for long. There's also a clip, not in the keynote but on Youtube, of someone using an external keyboard.

That has nothing to do with the point that VR issues are being prescribed to an AR device..
Re:Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer on Monday June 05, 2023 @04:01PM (#36202688)
but it's AR?

That's what I just got. No clue what you're using/getting.

where were you/what were you doing? That line didn’t sell well until it was reintroduced, IIRC. you’re right though, I may be off by a couple years but correct for most I suspect
Re:You're making me buy a new phone on Tuesday March 28, 2023 @09:33AM (#35340787)
No, you don’t…

we didn’t even have multicore processing in 1996. 1995-2005 looks very different from 2005-2015.

par for the course? I’ve literally never had this happen and I always keep the OS updated, this is certainly a confusing one.

From their 'Compare' page, it seems like they are targeting entirely different kinds of users, not price points.
everything here is true but the “gimmicky” bit. The controller is the most exciting thing to happen to games (outside of the actual games) since the Wii

It’s about meeting hosts, not sure if you read the posts properly, or what the point of the needless snark is
Re:Airbnb nightly rates shot up 36% in 3 years on Thursday February 16, 2023 @01:40PM (#34823502)
Not sure if you’ve never used it, but a vast number of AirBnBs are entire home/apartment rentals.

you’re on HN. surely you have the imagination.

Wouldn't you just assume "about 20%" of them are that stupid?

Re:Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office? on Sunday February 05, 2023 @05:39PM (#34670488)
there’s no point adding 2+ hours of commuting to my day for what could be a video call.

I don’t really understand why many commenters here are expressing a sentiment that you can’t get to know someone digitally. Some of the best people in my life were met online, both personally and professionally.

Re:Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office? on Sunday February 05, 2023 @05:35PM (#34670448)
My career has advanced just fine over Slack and Zoom.

And yet you have an issue with them not wanting to come in!
