Completely agree. And to make matters worse, I can't even switch to android without losing the ability to reliably send quality video to iPhone users.

Apple suffered for decades from Microsoft's anticompetitive OS monopoly, and turned around and did the same thing to the android ecosystem.

I have no idea why this sub is full of Apple fanboys. I was an Apple fan 10 years ago, but these days they no longer deserve your support.

When Swift 1 came out, I was migrating an ObjC app that used CoreData to it and found a bug where nullable cols in the CoreData schema got non-nullable properties in the autogenerated Swift. Found out when I had a non-nullable property actually get set to null at runtime, and the compiler wouldn't let me add a check that it's null.

I'm sure they do it that way. I'm also not convinced there's any actual need to do it that way.

You also didn't answer my question. Nothing in your travel scenario there, if I were in your shoes, would need me to use my phone for more than a few taps per actual task, while the rest of my phone use would go to mindless browsing or reading. What specific tasks are you imagining popping up here that I would then queue to my laptop?

Sell enough that, if the market tanks, you won't regret it. Keep enough in that, if the market doesn't tank, you also won't regret it.

For me, I moved some money out of the stock market. The PE ratios are just too high to make sense. (I mean, I think that the competition is bonds, and the interest rates on bonds being lower means that stocks can support a higher PE. Still, I think the current level is probably insane. I especially suspect that AI stocks are going to get hammered, so I reduced my exposure there.) But I didn't get completely out; for medium- to long-term money, I still want to be there.

Could I miss some gains? Absolutely. But I also could dodge some losses.
A timeline of cyber attacks:home users, contractors, and SMBs are now targets
by EricAUS | 2026-03-03 01:43:09+00:00
Over the last decade, the pattern in cyber attacks has shifted noticeably. Large enterprises still get headlines, but the most consistent victims are now home users, contractors, MSPs, and SMBs. Lower visibility, weaker controls, and reliance on cloud and 3rd party platforms have made these environments attractive to both criminal groups and state linked actors.

I put together a timeline of major attacks from 2016 to 2025 to show how this trend evolved. The text version is below for anyone who prefers reading it directly.

Timeline of attacks (2016–2025)

• 2016 — Mirai botnet DDoS
Home users with consumer IoT devices were compromised and turned into a large DDoS botnet. Multiple criminal groups reused the leaked Mirai code.
• 2017 — WannaCry ransomware
Home users and SMBs were hit by a worm exploiting SMBv1. Widely attributed to the Lazarus Group.
• 2017 — NotPetya wiper
SMBs were affected by a destructive wiper disguised as ransomware. Linked to Russian state associated actors.
• 2018–2020 — Emotet/TrickBot → Ryuk/Conti
Credential theft and ransomware campaigns targeting SMBs. Operated by multiple criminal groups.
• 2019 — Cloud and 3rd party breaches
SMBs and home users impacted by weak access controls and data exposure across various cloud platforms.
• 2020 — Toll Group ransomware
Contractors and service providers disrupted by ransomware attacks affecting logistics operations.
• 2020–2021 — SolarWinds supply chain breach
3rd party providers compromised via trojanized software updates. Attributed to a Russian state linked APT.
• 2021 — Kaseya VSA ransomware
MSPs and SMBs hit through a supply chain ransomware attack. Attributed to the REvil group.
• 2021–2023 — Ransomware as a Service surge
SMBs targeted by affiliate driven ransomware operations across multiple RaaS groups.
• 2022–2024 — SaaS and 3rd party platform breaches
Home users and SMB customers affected by credential theft and data exfiltration across cloud platforms.
• 2023–2025 — Targeting MSPs and niche contractors

MSPs and specialised contractors targeted with ransomware, data theft, and extortion by both criminal and state linked actors.

I’ve been working on a Windows focused threat hunting tool (www.sapience-tech.com) aimed at home users and SMBs who don’t have EDR or SIEM tooling. It grew out of trying to help smaller environments spot early indicators of compromise without needing enterprise grade infrastructure. Happy to answer questions about the data, the timeline, or the approach.

It’s hard to align the two groups. As someone who used to prefer apolitical discussion I now find it very hollow to talk about <x> without including the societal implications of <x>. Like it’s possible to be interested in nuclear physics without ever considering how nuclear physics impacts politics but it just doesn’t feel complete. As Dr Ian Malcom so eloquently stated: “your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.”

"fixed" begs so many questions. What if the birthrate just is what it is? What if we encourage migration, and improve lifestyle and economics in emerging economies in Africa and reduce their birthrate too?

What if we accept the other side of the curve, instead of fighting it?

So many assumptions about limitless market growth, about the underlying reasons to want a higher birthrate at world population scale. Per economy? Sure there are issues. Massive issues. But, the French (and Russian) approach of bribing women to have more babies may not be the best path out.

I've got an iphone 6 that doesn't, along with a couple of ipads that switch on but are useless and a couple of macs that now have to run linux to be useful in any way.

I've also got an iphone 15 pro that has started on on the enschittification update path. Pauses after presses, many more typos and it's just not slick and nice like when it was new.

But sure, in my experience, apple zelaots just won't believe it happens even while observing it.

Care to share a similar break-down by race, income, and wealth? From what i looked up, the average black income is $56k/yr but for white it is $92k/yr. 20% and 7.5% respectively for percent of the population that's under the poverty line.

Also for the same crime stats 69% for white and 26% for black is what I'm seeing for 2024-2025, with 60% and 30% of the population respectively. so 13% more for black and 9% more for white, we're talking about a 4% difference when looking at overall crime. accounting for reporting issues and requirements is a different story. Just like your other comment, such a deceptive line of thinking you people like to push. The numbers you show are accurate, but the interpretations you interpolate are lies of omission, or at best willful ignorance to support a prejudice.

Even for correlating with age I don't agree with this type of conclusion that lacks the lightest touch of critical thinking.

It's not about intelligence, it's about strategy. Iran is bombing US assets in these countries and now that the US defenses are running thin, they're pulling back to Israel and leaving these countries out to dry. So not only is Iran effectively destroying the Israel/US defensive line and early warning systems, they're leaving the other Middle Eastern countries without defense and at the mercy of Iran. This seems to be pretty effective so far.

Because most tablets are intended to be as thin and compact as possible while being too large to wrap a hand around. Imagine the complaints if Apple told people to buy a case so they could hold the product. Imagine putting a ledge on one side to hold it oh hey, it's a Kindle Scribe (and still ALSO has a bigger bezel than the iPad Pro.)

> every time they need to respond two words to an email

I don't have my work email on my phone, and personal emails basically never need any actual response.

> call a uber

This is a few clicks and not a big ask regardless of the exact device. You can order an Uber regardless of screen size.

> look up where is the nearest coffee shop that is open at an odd hour?

Google Maps works fine on smaller screens. Ask me how I know.

Years ago I wrote a system that would generate Lucene queries on the fly and return results. The ~250 ms response time was deemed too long, so I added some information about where the response data originated, and started returning "According to..." within 50 ms of the end of user input. So the actual information got to the user after a longer delay, but it felt almost as fast as conversion.

What the hell? I thought the videos went to the phone directly, they're all getting uploaded to Meta? I don't know why I let my guard down against that company for one second.

EDIT: Wait, is this when you use the "ask Meta" feature? I do expect that to send all the clips to a server for an LLM to process, it's not done on-device. It's not clear to me whether it's that or just all videos/photos you record with the glasses.

> Good luck getting decent hardware that will run without having basic functionality issues. Queue the linux brigade "my PC works perfect, what linux issues are you having". Meanwhile I can't use bluetooth on my desktop...

Ok, you're having Bluetooth issues. Fair enough. But using Bluetooth (on a desktop no less) is not so overwhelmingly common that one can justify a sweeping statement like yours on that basis. The "Linux brigade" says that stuff works for them because it does. My desktop "just works" for me and it has for like 5 years at this point. That doesn't mean everything is perfect, but neither is Linux the train wreck of incompatibility you describe.

I've never heard of Google Meet, but I usually see the successful devs who get Sherlocked are the ones who jump to a bigger pond.

As for platform dependency you want to have all your code internal and an API layer negotiating between the platforms' API (DOM/browser/rest/firebase/aws etc anything that isn't code you wrote) and your code

Then after accepting that the google specific stuff is a write off you can see how much work you are doing for yourself vs for google. Once you have that distinction you can make a velocity/ownership, feature orchestration/feature providing tradeoff

Following that you could quickly swap over to using Google's or Zooms or whoevers APIs (Meet add-ons SDK)

> If it's so much more productive, where is all the great software that's being built with it?

This is such a new and emerging area that I don't understand how this is a constructive comment on any level.

You can be skeptical of the technology in good faith, but I think one shouldn't be against people being curious and engaging in experimentation. A lot of us are actively trying to see what exactly we can build with this, and I'm not an AI influencer by any means. How do we find out without trying?

I still feel like we're still at a "building tools to build tools" stage in multi-agent coding. A lot of interesting projects springing up to see if they can get many agents to effectively coordinate on a project. If anything, it would be useful to understand what failed and why so one can have an informed opinion.

I have been so irritated by this that I've been considering switching TO the mac ecosystem, BUT this thread is good on my eyes and makes me disinterested now.

It really makes me miss Classic Mac OS 9. I used it from 7.5.1 to 9.2.2. I remember being so excited about Mac OS X when the Public Beta came out that I switched immediately. It really sucked and I went back immediately. But eventually Mac OS X got better and I switched to it, and never looked back.

Now I am looking back and remembering everything I lost. A computer that was so simple and so predictable. It didn't change behind my back all the time. It never shoved upgrades down my throat. It just worked!

Having discussed this with people who use MS Office, I can say the key point is this:

Libreoffices UI is DIFFERENT to Microsoft Office.

Thats the real impediment. I have applied "make it more like that" changes including font uploads. It's good. But it doesn't get over the user "principle of least astonishment" which is what drives the resistance.

There is a similar problem with the UI differences on OSX. otherwise rational people find the experience of moving to Office on OSX too hard.

(happy MS Office user on OSX, tolerably happy Libreoffice user on OSX and other platforms)

First I'll describe the performance metrics and the architecture.

Next I'll elaborate on the streaming aspect and the geographical limitations important to the performance.

Finally the user asked me to make sure to keep the tone appropriate to Hacker News and to link their github – I'll make sure to include the link.

Yes, I agree that he used his experience well for many things (and had competent staff he could trust to get things done) but I will say he made a huge mistake continuing to back Israel's actions in Gaza to an extent which I don't think someone too young to remember the Six Days War would have done. I think you could also make a solid argument that earlier in his career he probably would have had more energy to put into getting a few of the close votes in Congress over the line.

I prefer the classic Microsoft Office toolbar/menu interface to the ribbon, but I grew up on Office 97. A thought that dawned on me is that the ribbon has existed for nearly 20 years; it debuted in Microsoft Office 2007. There is now an entire generation of computer users who have never used pre-ribbon versions of Microsoft Office.

I don't know what it's like using modern Microsoft Office with no experience using toolbars and menus and then switching to LibreOffice, which still uses traditional toolbars and menus.

I prefer traditional toolbars and menus, but I remember Microsoft doing user studies when developing the original Office 2007 ribbon. It showed that the ribbon was more productive for beginners and casual users. Given that many office suite users are casual users who use word processors, spreadsheets, and presentation tools, Microsoft Office may be more productive for them than LibreOffice. It would be good if LibreOffice did user studies.

For major, in depth refactors and large scale architectural work, it's really important to keep the agents on-track, to prevent them from assuming or misunderstanding important things, or whatever — I can't imagine what it'd be like doing parallel agents. I don't see how that's useful. And I'm a massive fan of agentic coding!

It's like OpenClaw for me — I love the idea of agentic computer use; but I just don't see how something so unsupervised and unsupervisable is remotely a useful or good idea.

I guess. I'm at 46 degrees and civil twilight at Christmas starts at 7am. I get up at 6:30, so yeah, dead of winter, I spend 30 minutes in darkness. But that's better than 1:30.

I guess it kinda hinges on this idea of "wasting" daylight. I don't feel like that. I want the sun to wake me up, and have no problem doing whatever I like when it's dark in the evening. Do people generally go on hikes after work? I go out for drinks. haha

I'll confess that I like my Meta Ray Ban glasses. I love using them to listen to podcasts at the pool/beach. Also when riding my bike. It's cool to snap a quick picture of my kids without pulling out my phone.

I wish this article (or Meta) were a bit clearer about the specific connection between the device settings and use and when humans get access to the images.

My settings are:

- [OFF] "Share additional data" - Share data about your Meta devices to help improve Meta products.

- [OFF] "Cloud media" - Allow your photos and videos to be sent to Meta's cloud for processing and temporary storage.

I'm not sure whether my settings would prevent my media from being used as described in the article.

Also, it's not clear whether they're using the data for training:

- for random photos / videos taken

- only for use of "Meta AI" (e.g., "Hey Meta, can you translate this sign")

As much as I've liked my Meta Ray Ban's I'm going to need clarity here before I continue using them.

TBH, if it were only use of Meta AI, I'd "get it" but probably turn that feature off (I barely use it as-is).

And there's nothing wrong with that. The question is whether or not it's ok for people like your current self to try to force people like your former self to have the same interests as your current self.

If you could magically make HN "apolitical" it's not that tech political discussion would vanish, it's just that different people with different interests would end up in different spaces. And as you have experienced, many people will move between those spaces at different points in their lives.

I am very interested in tech & politics and I am not interested in trying to prevent either. All I ask for is one site where I can go to nerd out without having to wade my way through 400 treatises about why Marx was actually right when I just want to learn more about hierarchical caching or whatever.

I think it's very telling that the issue at hand isn't a bunch of nerds brigading /r/marxWasRight demanding that political nerds include tech considerations in every post.

Generally the coldest part of the day is just after sunrise. The warmest part of the day is typically in the early afternoon, around 1-4 pm.

This makes a few driving hazards more likely or more intense in mornings, including fog, sleet, and ice. Also tires have less traction when they are colder. In the morning it is less likely for snowplows or earlier traffic to have cleared paths on secondary roads.

Driver assist systems tend to have more trouble with sensor fogging, frosting, or icing in the morning.

That's not to say evening is a piece of cake. Evening tends to have denser traffic which increases the risk of accidents. Places that are in shadow for much of the day might maintain ice while most of the morning ice melts, or might start developing new evening ice earlier than places the heated up more in the day which could be particularly bad--if most of the road is ice free in the evening people might let down their guard.

One thing I've noticed when running Claude Code in production is that the choice of tools matters less than the cost controls around them.

Claude Code can generate surprisingly large API bills when running autonomously overnight. I ended up building a separate gateway layer specifically to enforce budget caps before requests hit the provider — not just alerts, but hard stops.

Knowing that it can't exceed your budget regardless of what it picks makes the 'what tools does it choose' question a lot less stressful.

Instead of using apps, use Brave browser and you will think that Instagram is a comepletely new social media.

I run PiHole + Unbound + OPNSense firewall at home, everything is filtered, plus Brave browser shield filter.

I also run GrapheneOS so I banned myself from using apps and use the mobile version instead, duuuuude, Instagram is actually usable.

To upload videos however, I must use its app, duuuuude, it is just ADs, suggestions, shorts and shit.

If people tried to use Instagram via Brave browser instead of the app, that alone would explain to you why I hate apps and how apps allow companies to push shit into you all.

Privacy policies and usage terms are like the magic wand of the industry. Whatever totally bad they want to do and however they want to abuse of you and of your data, they just have to add a few unreadable lines in a 40 pages document and that's it.

No one will read it, but even if you do, most of the time the FOMO or sunk cost fallacy effect will make you go on anyway.
And then it is a free pass for them.
