I believe GP is talking about Proton.

It's a Linux/Windows compatibility layer from Steam. It's pretty great!

A lot of the incompatability between Linux/Windows in my experience has actually been from the Anti-Cheat systems. Apex Legends and Intruder being examples that come to mind.

How often does your average person sell scrap parts? I don't think the situations are analogous.
That might be the logic they used. Maybe it is easier to press it in the new location when using tablet mode and they figure people can use a hotkey for the start button on desktop.

But having worked with plenty of users at work, it's very rare they use the windows key rather than dragging their mouse to the corner... if I tell them about the windows key, they act super surprised.
There are some high quality creative apps on Android for things like photo editing, drawing, video editing etc. This could disrupt the space in which Adobe currently operates. Android could add a lot of diversity to windows in terms of productivity and creative apps.

I think a possible advantage is also integration with Teams and OneDrive. Aandroid apps don't tend to use file stored in directory structures. You use the share menu instead and maybe some pickers for photos and downloads. This could integrate well into their cloud ecosystem. Save app data to OneDrive and have sharing menus work between the two. You could even have tabs in teams that show an Android app and store the data in the team. Corporate IT departments might prefer that to voluminous directory structures and vendor management.

Is this just asking for antitrust? I mean, Apple can get away with sherlocking their opposition but they don't have a monopoly on desktop OS.
Just enabled PTT in the BIOS, but the tool still says my computer is not compatible (but it doesn't tell me exactly why).
The sad thing is, i like Sonys desing and the hardware a lot. But I think now is the point, where I just can't support that company anymore. A bit the same like Windows. Even I was early on Linux for most things, I still allways had Windows beside. But with Win10, I just couldn't agree to the EULA, so im Linux only since then.
I spent some 16 years in academia, so I understand your context... It's very easy to fall in the "quick hack" trap, and end up with a terrible mess.

On the other hand, much of the code you do while doing research is truly throw-away stuff. What I found helped me (especially when coming back to my code later on), was to use literate programming (in org-mode) to record my thought process along with the (often polyglot) code.
"an inconceivably high rate of return"

I don't think that word means what you think it means
I was sued in Germany by Axel Springer due to an ad blocker I wrote. The lower court of Hamburg ruled against me. They openly admitted they did not know what they were doing because the case was too technical for them. They were just happy to please the big corporation.

Hamburg is a favourite for such cases because they just have no clue about technology. They are just old fashioned.

As a small indie developer, I could not afford to keep on fighting. I gave up. I was a psychological wreck. And since it is not binding, big entities can afford to sue you non-stop.

Hamburg was the second time I was in a court. I got sued by the same big corporation. I won the first one.

Despite not being binding Sony will use this as a precedent and they will start going against the bigger DNS players, till all of them have to comply with their demands.
"The medium is the message".

The message of the current Web is the death of local journalism, deep moats of pillaged user-data protecting monopolists, internationally "democratized" propaganda, and no privacy anywhere.

If you want to change the message, the medium will have to change.

Yes, ONLY if you want to download them from the playstore. As you already noted, on Android you can sideload apps and get them from other places other than the playstore. So you can still get the same app from another source without an account.

Some companies like DJI actually let you download from their site directly and bypass the playstore. Notice the apple version links to the apple store but the Android version downloads the APK directly from DJI: https://www.dji.com/downloads/djiapp/dji-fly
Why don't you think that was the intent of the Roth IRA, or more specifically within the intent.

The intent of Roth products were to give money to a broke government up front. The government created Roth products for that specific reason and there is no further intent. They made the contract with the people and some of the people actually read it. All tax exempt and tax deferred products can invest in and hold whatever they like with prohibitions generally being on level of control or debt financing. Simply having a prohibition on some kind of property ownership doesn't make sense and I would probably challenge it on constitutional grounds.
I mean.. technically is not "blocking your ability to call", but just unlisting them from their phonebook and phone-number-information-service.

But in the end, this means that people will start using the alternatives more.... hopefully.
Can I install Rockbox on it?
There are records from that school that the former administrators of that school are refusing to release. The paper trail regarding who they specifically are and how many they specifically are is being intentionally obscured.

Additionally, access to that property is pretty heavily restricted.

Edit: Please note I was specifically talking about the school in Kamloops and, actually, just yesterday a sharing agreement was reached as per my follow up comment below.
First mistake is assuming that any YT numbers are real. Second mistake is assuming that YT numbers are accurate. Third mistake is assuming that YT numbers represent what you think they represent.
I'd add:
6. Universities are focused on delivering what students (think they) want, not on delivering a good education.

I've seen pretty blatant cheating pushed under the rug as it was more effort to pursue it than the course leader could be bothered with (after all these were paying customers).
If you're asking if it's a Black Swan, it isn't.
Which makes their argument about "the cost" mostly invalid
(Sorry for the offtopicness but could you please email me at hn@ycombinator.com? I want to send you some repost invites and this is the only way to get in touch!)
All the cost of advertising inevitably makes products more expensive. Ads are not a charity, obviously. Sooner or later you pay for it.

When you buy milk or a shampoo or a car you only wanted the product itself and you did not CHOOSE to pay for the ads.

That means you unwillingly paid for the ads with your attention - first - and then you paid with your money - again.
> It’s a huge over reach and abuse of power.

Don't see anywhere I agued it wasn't, but I was responding to your comment which sounded like Quad9 was caving to Sony's lawyers, as opposed to the more specific accusations of judicial bribery in this follow-up post.

Is it common for German judges to be bought and/or specific judgements to be paid for in Germany?
Thanks for the read. Actually, I have no problem with Win95 (and previous) era UI components, it's the layers of inconsistencies on top of that bothers me. The Windows 95 is still the best Windows UI of all times.
I think we're beyond that now. So many illegal monopolistic activities have happened in the past decade that I've lost all faith in the US government. If a new Teddy Roosevelt doesn't come around soon, it's gonna be the railroads owning the country all over again.
OP is arguing that the Apple menu is used to start and switch applications, not the Dock. What?

How is the Apple menu equivalent to Start in modern macOS? Do you click the Apple menu to start your apps? Or even switch to them?

I think the implication is TPM 2.0 and secure boot preventing users from booting unsigned code and installing Linux.
My guess is that Microsoft didn't want to move away from the 10 moniker, but Apple's release of Big Sur as macOS 11 meant that they had to keep up with versioning to stay competitive with marketing.

I don't incur additional costs for listing to a radio station that decides to play 30 second HD audio ads between segments. Unlike going to a blog to _read_ something and being forced to watch (and pay for the bandwidth) a 30 second HD video. I asked for a few hundred kb of data. They send me what could amount to several hundred megs of data.

Many places in the world still are subject to metered data.
Sounds like you are not capable of distilling or synthesising your ideas.

If you can’t take a step back and make a paragraph, and instead attempt to just bombard others with your thought-stream and let them sort it out, then maybe YOU are the problem - face-to-face or not.
Can you make the interface of W10 look like W7? How about easily removing bloatware without being an internet detective?

Customize those ugly flat panels that MS stuck everywhere next to Windows 3.1 legacy selection boxes?

Also, yes. I guess if you are willing to spend an extra 10-20hrs of your time to configure group policies and registry tweaks and removing telemetry to get it into an "acceptable" state...for exactly the same experience, then it's fine. Even then, I keep reading horror stories about settings being reverted after updates and the OS generally not respecting uptime over vague "security" updates.

I don't find that acceptable, unless MS cuts me a check for wasted hours of my time every time I have to fix something that wasn't broken. For comparison, my W7 system has been rock stable since 2016, with most system downtime due to physical hardware changes and updates.

To be fair, some use cases were improved in W10. Mobile (bluetooth) connectivity seems to be working great. So are things like making a wi-fi hotspot and networking in general. (I don't have in-depth knowledge about other improvements because they're outside of my use cases)
Also a broadcast stream where users pay exactly the same amount for the airwaves (nothing) regardless of how much content gets sent out across it. This is not like an IP stream where you impose a quite literal cost on the receiver by sending more data than they expected.
Well, I didn't say "look for companies that say they value work life balance", I said "look for companies that value work life balance". Of course anybody can say anything to sucker us in. The key is to learn how to identify a company that will lie to keep you interested (e.g. Amazon, based on personal experience when a recruiter assured me that people usually work 40h weeks) and how to identify a company that actually values your personal time.
True; I’ve definitely had my edits reversed or challenged. But I’ve also made many edits that weren’t (mainly on more niche pages).
For sure. GP made a claim about the highest-paid tech workers, and I responded to that claim.
How do you distinguish impact from lack of impact?

And how do you validate the PM was actually responsible for that impact?
BeOS was not as stable and complete an OS as NexTSTEP.
It would have taken longer for Apple to launch their version of the OS and Apple was in a hole in the late 90's.
As you noted there would be no Jobs which came with the OS.
Huh? I don't see how what I was saying was complaining? Sure things sometimes happen in cycles, I did not even mention that, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. VMs, and byte codes are a tool, and have their place. However, they do have their limitations compared to natively compiled code.
Also known as a "growth mindset". From what I've seen, I believe the majority of HN readers think this way - that most things are learning experiences, and that knowledge is power.
> seems to be to depart rich people from their money in obscene ways

This nails it. The startup tech boom has a large contingent of, "how can we take a cheap device, cloud-it-up, add some design, and sell it at 20x the price to the bougie?" I literally stay awake at night trying to think of something I can modify and sell to rich people.

And by "rich" people, I mean people in the 10% and above income brackets, or people that will go into debt to have the latest gadget.

Examples:

- Car-rooftop tents

- Fancy blenders

- Super-expensive coolers

- Deluxe earphones

- Deluxe vacuum cleaners

- Deluxe portable fans

- Deluxe juice machines

- Deluxe "man kits" (yes, its a thing: https://www.mancrates.com/, https://manlymanco.com)

...

I am racking my brains to come up with the next fancy thing...
Bad Apple*
So now we finally know that 2025 will be the year of the Linux desktop. There will be no more supported Windows version for older hardware, and Microsoft's love for Linux will finally blossom into forcing migration for millions of computers. This is the most interesting part of the announcement, and I hope that desktop Linux distros will take advantage of the situation. Of course, Microsoft could reverse course by then.

edit: Looks like TPM 2.0 is not a hard requirement, only 1.2. This will likely still result in a lot of users left out of Windows, but the year of the Linux desktop may be delayed again. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/windo...
AFAIK They weren't ultimately fined, just warned... and it was one company.

They were warned because they were transferring email addresses to a company that falls under US Surveillance law and there weren't any relevant legal protections in place... and the company facing the fine never did any due diligence to check.

If you run a business and don't consult a lawyer about privacy laws you're taking a big risk... many countries have laws that you could easily run afoul, even other states in the US.
The Creality Ender 3 is probably the best entry-level 3D printer you can get. It does need a tiny bit of tinkering in some case, but it can print incredibly well, for a pretty low price.

If you just want to print as well but without any risk, a Prusa i3 pre-assembled is the best bet, but it does cost 4x+ the price of an Ender 3.
"The Next Backblaze Storage Pod" is commercially available storage from Dell. It's a little clickbaity, but it's both a) the title of the article, which HN encourages using and b) accurate.

And that despite regular servicing back when we still had the Space Shuttle.

Hubble started out with 6 gyroscopes, in 1996 they replaced four of them, by 1999 four had failed so they replaced all six, by 2009 three had failed again, so they replaced all six. Now they are again down to three, and one of the remaining ones has a defect that required some workarounds. The last three gyros are at least a new design that should last a bit longer.
I was pleased to see a section in here on what they call "flattening" - the problem of "efficiently provide a list of resources my user has access to".

I've made this mistake more than once when designing an authorization system. Sure, you can build a fast mechanism for answering the question "does actor A have access to object B" - but can you efficiently answer that for 10,000 objects at once?

Say for example you're building a search engine, and you want to search across all public data but ALSO all of the data your user has access to that's private. You probably can't run the search, get back 10,000 results, then apply your "can X access Y" logic to all 10,000 of them.

(I'd love to know how GitHub code search implements this - it shows me results from my private repositories mixed in with results from their public index).
Japan proposes four-day working week to improve work-life balance
I hate to say it (as I type this comment on a Linux box), but you're almost better off pushing a 2D game in a browser if you want to support Linux =( The variations in Linux distros just get a little too varied
>40% smaller Windows Updates

Was there anything about faster updates?

Why does the Windows Update service take 50%+ of my CPU and multiple minutes to figure out if there's any updates available for me?

I get Windows doesn't have a package manager, but given yum and deb can figure out the answer in seconds... there has to be some way to improve that.
We're in a very dark period where people are fine with censoring viewpoints that they don't agree with, especially around political boundaries. It's very unfortunate - censorship is censorship, plain and simple.

I replaced Windows with Linux for gaming a couple years ago, due in part to Valve's Proton. It's not perfect, but I estimate 80% of the games I play "just work" and require no tweaking. The state of things for your set of games can be evaluated with https://www.protondb.com.
It's amazing Quad9 is run as a non-profit org.

I run an email forwarding[0] app and I need to do a lot of DNS query(for spam filtering purpose), I run dnsmasq top load balance between CloudFlare, OpenDNS, GoogleDNS, Quad9 and Hetzner DNS. Quad9 outperform the rest with 2-4x faster and more reliable. In term of reliable I meant they won't rate limit me.

If anyone need reliable DNS, Quad9 rocks it. I'll contribute my part on this battle too.

Thanks Quad9

Not only nothing bad will happen from that, plenty of good will happen from that - all the garbage content whose only value is tricking people into viewing ads will disappear from the Internet, making it easier to find good information.

And yes, I'm 100% serious about that. I've been on the Internet for quite a while, and in my experience, trustworthiness of information is very strongly anticorrelated with the amount of ads around it.
Funny how they use abstracted macbook dummy laptops for their previews. And basically introduce round-corner MacOS design.

Some people, it seems, mistake "introversion" for "lack of social skills". The former is a personality trait (I'm more of an introvert myself). The latter can be trained.
It does, but every computer I've had with both has the ability to switch secure boot on and off.
To your point, I also am no longer willing to call myself progressive, or even "left-wing"....I don't want to be confused with the youthful, thoughtless, destructive, mob...and I'm a European anarcho-communist, so hopefully that means something. :-P I think in this regard, many, many, many people on both the "right" and "left" are in agreement.
It's only consistent as long as the number of icons/applications on the task bar never changes. Every time an additional program is started, the button will slide further towards the left.

With the older left-aligned positioning, users can just flick their mouse to the left corner to open the start menu, or the right corner to minimize all windows. Buttons are in the same spot every time.

I think it's absurd that we're talking about nationalizing entertainment websites like YouTube while the topic of nationalizing big pharma or big real-estate or big agriculture is never discussed.
This is a shame. I always was the odd one who put his task bar to the right, but it makes so much more sense if you have many windows open. I can scan over the titles much faster vertically. There's more space for task tray icons and I could easily add multiple rows of quick start icons in a folder. [1]

For some reason nowadays design trumps everything. I understand, it has to look good and I like how Windows 11 looks on those screenshots. But sometimes those Microsoft developers seem to forget, that with every cut feature they will annoy some users. For example, I fear the day they will finally get rid of the old Control Panel.

It's even more annoying if the change just happens because of "Design"...

The company which manufactures the metal cases created a spinoff company called 45Drives which sells commercially supported pods.
It's only a better experience because developers spend all their efforts on the Windows build and the Linux build is just an afterthought.
The article you link is pretty clear that they did not commit to the "windows 10" name forever ("We aren’t speaking to future branding at this time"), but rather to a model with more smaller regular updates. Which a no-cost update fits in, even if they change the name.
But it's still a really terrible comparison.

Advertising is designed to attract your attention and convince you to do something.

Individuals, by and large (and, obviously with exceptions - working out, dieting, cosmetic work, etc.) cannot control what they look like. Even with those exceptions, they have absolutely zero control over what other people may find attractive or unattractive about their bodies. What is simply a comfy outfit that one individual chose to wear might be deemed "skimpy" or sexy by you but not by others.

They're wildly different things, and the assumption that just because some skin is showing means that someone's trying to get you to look at them is also incorrect.

The only factors are "location, age, tobacco use, plan category, and whether the plan covers dependents."

Maybe some zipcodes drink more than others, but they don't need to figure that out because they can just look at illness rates for the zipcode directly. Same for age and tobacco.
