Got a 9 year old iPhone 6s here. Actually still perfectly usable and annoyingly fast compared to my 15 Pro. Was getting patches until July 2024 as well.

When one phone falls off the bottom of the stack another one goes on the top of the family stack. In service we have a 15 Pro, 13 Pro, 12, XR, 8 and the 6s. I'll push Pro phones down every two years now. Occasionally something needs a new battery and that's about it.

As for usability, there are a couple of problems but once you get used to it and why, meh. Safari+AdGuard (free) is excellent and a lot less dicky than Firefox on Android.
That is correct. IIRC, Bermuda is also part of the agreement, and I would be very much surprised if Ireland doesn't operate on the same rules.
Show HN: My Playbook – generate and share a guide to your work and com style
Hi HN,

We're launching Playbook, a simple tool to create personalized work guides.
The goal of this tool is to give value to users, and drive trafic to our main website / product : Serendly.

Why we think a playbook can be useful :

- Improve collaboration: Share your work style with your team.

- Enhance understanding: Clearly communicate your preferences.

- Streamline onboarding: Quickly get new team members up to speed.

As everyone hates data walls, we don't ask for an email address and don't store any data. The tool is free to use, the tool is free as in "free entry" ;-)
Built with Vue.js and PHP.

We welcome feedback on the questions, design, and overall experience !

> That kyc thingy is icann requirement

Is it really? Or just contact info is enough?
Yeah, I'm sure it's background apps, because I have lots installed, but I'd expect to be able to close them, or prevent them from running in the background somehow, at least.
a limited amount, eg when i walked by the news stand i could try to read the headlines on the newspapers, or read the menu at a restuarant, that was about it. some languages are very hard to hear. but it's fun to use, that's the big difference. i have used other apps and they're tedious and boring. an app doesn't work at all if you don't use it
I hate buying shit for the sake of it, managed to hold out upgrading from an iphone 11 until last month.

I touch my phone 3-4 hours a day. As much as I detest the upgrade rat race (and using a phone so much, but that's an aside), the increased responsivity feels really nice. Definitely worth the money for me.
Gives me Atari ST vibes ... I loved that machine.
Research Note: Meta's Role in Romania's 2024 Presidential Election
I only want to politicians to do their jobs. is that too much to ask?
I saw that too. While the jury's out, this is clearly not an obvious "call to arms" or any kind of threat. It may be read that way, so I'd prefer not to have it, but if even stating the name of a CEO is off the table, then that's far too much 'protection', IMO. But, yeah, "fix this" isn't great wording to be using.
Are there any well established definitions for these terms as separate?
We are getting confused here.

The claim was "The saw manufacturers all blew off SawStop because they were worried that they would now be liable for any injuries which still occurred."

Meaning that table saw manufacturers were worried if they implement SawStop like safety feature, and they advertise their saws as safer they become liable for times when the technology does not work.

So yes, you appear to be correct what saw manufacturers say about their safety now, but that's not the point we are discussing. The point is that if they add a SawStop like feature and advertise it then they would be talking about the safety of their saws.
Even easier and cheaper:

1. Get a Zigbee USB adapter (e.g. SONOFF's is great)

2. Get a Raspberry Pi Zero W

3. Install mosquitto and zigbee2mqtt.

4. Enroll your devices and schedule them using bash scripts and cron.

There was no way I was going to be paying Phillips for one of their shitty bridges or hubs after they intentionally gimped their Bluetooth control in order to force you to need one and then rugpulled everyone about not needing to register and log into the app. Dirty business. I'll never buy anything from them again.

The above took just an afternoon. Zigbee2mqtt documentation is great.

TLDR: Android "custom rom" turns into debian when plugged into a monitor. Has been around since at least 2016.
Thin clients are a great use case for PoE. Think about a school environment.

But yes, I suspect they will be using the PCB for something else. the NVMe takes too much space to be a "mistake".
The Star Wars video was a bit strange to me. On one hand, it did absolutely suck, but there also were many times in the video where she obviously specifically chose expectations on purpose knowing that the park would not live up to them, and then acted like she was just totally surprised that it happened. I found it even more egregious for her Evermore park video, where she seemed genuinely shocked to not have an absolutely perfect roleplaying experience there.

It's all a bit strange because all of her unrealistic expectations are perfectly woven into the realistic ones in a way that makes it very difficult to distinguish what is reasonable about her expectations. Somehow she manages to make it so that something that will genuinely suck for everyone, like standing in line for hours or her app being totally broken, gets mixed up with much more obviously subjective things like the actors not really matching her energy.
I hate USB-C for laptop charging ports, to fragile for regular use. However I build a few things recently and I love the simplicity.

- External Touch Screen - only needs one cable, usbc, for picture, sound, touch, power! ... (DP mode you mentioned required)

- As power source. My caravan computer (Dell wyse 5070) uses usbc as power source with a cheap DC slot adapter. My laptop charges in usb-c from 60w or more.

- We have 2 Rolands (p-1, s-1) both can use their usbc cable for direct audio in AND out which just works on Linux.

- For the Roland's I can use my phone as sound DAW or source, or both. I can also attach the touch screen, ...

All using the same (cheap and available) cable. Which is amazing and took my whole life to get to.
Show HN: An easy-to-use, anonymous file transfer site with NAT traversal
I built a web-based file transfer tool that focuses on simplicity, anonymity, and ease of use. Here’s what sets it apart:

- So easy to use: It’s designed for temporary file transfers with an emphasis on convenience. You only need to enter a four-digit code to pair, no need to share a link etc.

- NAT Traversal: Compared to Snapdrop, this tool supports NAT traversal, making it easier to share files across different networks.

- Self-Hosting Ready: The tool supports self-hosting, and I’ve provided a deployment guide with zero cost for those who prefer running it on their own infrastructure.

I built this with the goal of addressing common pain points in existing file-sharing tools. I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions!
But the main issue with that kind of remarks is that we are not omniscient demiurges. If we don’t try to implement two approaches, then we won’t be able to judge based on actual facts and metrics. If we already did that in the past often enough, sure we can gain some intuition on what will be the actual outcomes of the tradeoff we retain.

But paying the price to build such an expertise is also a tradeoff. In particular we might desire to provide the most sound and solid solution from a grand master quality level. But if the whole market is already in the hand of a few players that went with the old card of "occupy the territory first and (possibly) consider quality later", our grandiose art will be also a path to starvation.
Data collection sure, but the ads are optional. I haven't seen an ad in years. Stock firmware BTW.

The "tribe" of C developers with distaste for the preprocessor will absolutely hate how this is written. But it works and caught real issues. It doesn't use an external fuzzing tool but rather a deterministic PRNG (see prng_* calls) to get a good mix of call combinations. Coverage analysis was done to make sure it reaches everywhere.

(disclaimer: I wrote this. And it did catch bugs. Also it really should have a lot of comments.)
HN crowd is solid in some very narrow technical subjects. The more you deviate from those, the worse. It quickly degenerates into some incredibly stupid takes from people that clearly think very highly of themselves, and are unable to do any introspection.

R-Pi offerings are fine. It is supposed to be a cheap computer, and they could get something that costs less than 200 bucks with a monitor. Definitely not bad.
Callcentric is still available for $0.00 a month and pay per minute on outbound. Any destination.

I am utilizing them for$1.99 a month inbound and pay per minute inbound too, though they have unlimited in and out I just don’t use it as much as the monthly fee. Love them.

Frankly better rates on twilio and telnyx for high volume and business use which also allow pay as you go but both now require corporate/business registration, EIN, blah blah both of which I’ve done for business use but were a headache.

There are others like voip.ms which fell in the middle rate wise but also demanded so much documentation or hassle I just said no thank you
I don’t. 2GB ought to be enough for everyone. The only reason it may not is if apps are ludicrously memory hungry.
I think you're probably right.

I have an older Delta table saw and recently decided to sell it because a miter saw + track saw + some other tools you need anyhow does nearly everything a table saw would do, but uses space way more efficiently.
Used, so not a fair comparison.
Kudos for offering an alternative view exploring the potential upsides, but I'd take issue with "Whether we ultimately outlaw facial recognition or not is unimportant.". Making use of all that data to fight crime would absolutely require it to be legal to capture. Edit: sorry - just realised what you mean. The footage is legal to capture and use in criminal investigations, but not using face recognition.
Perhaps in certain cases requiring someone to sign off, and take the blame if anything happens, would help alleviate this problem. Much like how engineers need to sign off on construction plans.

(Layman here, obviously.)
I have mixed feelings about their products :-)

I use them quite a lot for various projects (mosty recently in my e-piano build, where the Pi 5 performs admirably pulling off low-latency audio for my piano VSTs - https://eikehein.com/piano), but while I vibe with the whole "sets a known standard, just works, network effects" advantages, there's some real annoyances that run counter to that.

For example, I'd expect the standard SBC from the Good Ones to have great upstream support, but it turns out a vanilla kernel doesn't support the Pi 5 until perhaps 6.13 due to lacklustre upstreaming efforts, meaning most alternative distros to the patched-up Raspberry Pi OS still don't support the Pi 5 properly. (I ended up managing to bake up a modified Fedora 41 because I wanted the much newer audio stack in said piano, but only with a lot of effort.)

And yes, the dreaded Micro HDMI ports, perhaps the weakest, shoddiest, most prone-to-failure port around ... why they'd put those on the keyboard one (the 500 linked here) is beyond me.

That said, I like a lot of the strategic choices they made with the RP1, and I suspect there will be more interesting HW from them coming down the pipe over time.
Why did I need to get vaccinated if nobody got sick?
Maybe not "criminal", sure. But even us thinking "oh it's a civil matter, not criminal one" is something conjured up by the lawyers in conjunction with government. It's such a convenient excuse, basically making it so that you as the injured party need to prove something at your own expense - expense that is directly funneled to the lawyer class.

At the very least what happened here is lying in a commercial context. Arguably something that should be illegal, and sometimes is illegal under the banner of "fraud". Again, the definition of fraud is not obvious (despite them arguing it is super explicit in the laws) and we have to rely on the lawyer priesthood to determine what the "sacred texts" say about it. Maybe even rolling some conjured up lawyer-dice and seeing what the Oracle at the Court says about it after they convene a little "ritual" known as a court meeting or deposition.
Is it region-locked?
> I do find HN threads about R-Pi products weigh heavily negative.

The HN audience at large is still pissed that RPi chose to prioritize large industrial accounts over hobbyists during the Covid chip shortage era, and what few stock arrived at hobbyist distribution channels quickly got mopped up and re-sold by scalpers.

A few FOSS hardliners are pissed about binary blobs and a lack of in-depth documentation - which is something I do understand, after all RPi-as-an-ecosystem should be one of the larger accounts at Broadcom, so I'd expect the negotiators to finally make some progress on that front in a decade.

And others are pissed because Broadcom messed up Pi 4's PCIe implementation [1], or the RPi-side fuck-up with USB-C resistors.

And the final general group of pissed-off people I'm aware of - which again I support - are annoyed about the situation regarding the CSI and DSI (camera and display, respectively) interfaces. Cameras still are limited to official cameras only, and there's (almost?) no DSI compatible displays which means everyone has to pay HDMI licensing fees despite not needing to.

Is the Pi 500 fanless? Do I read that correctly?
The only thing forcing most of us to upgrade every 3 years is the fact that most phones now come with their batteries are either soldered on (in the lower end versions) or come with connectors (most often I think) but replacement requires prying open the case and specialized tools/knowledge.

Honestly, today's phones are an overkill for most mobile computing tasks except for a very small niche of users who might run very high end games. And even there it's not a given.
Holy shit the chatbot is well done. It won't reveal it's system prompt, and it's creepy because I didn't expect it to be that good. Which makes sense since this is for a horror movie. Crazy that this is marketing for a movie, it's giving more vibes of a fan project. Whoever made this did an excellent job.

Even though I know that it's just a local LLM or a ChatGPT API wrapper, it's still creepy. Damn.
The ETFs actually do own the underlying securities and vote the shares. They typically have a mechanism for ETF owners to vote internally on how to vote externally, but the vast majority of ETF owners ignore it so whatever the ETF recommends (which is often from a third party) almost always is what happens.
> No, you're not sure. You don't know what happened there, as it was not possible to conduct a serious investigation, and I'm not sure we will ever know.

Yes, I am 100% sure because the reporting was widespread, accurately conducted, and the Russians were widely condemned.

I think you should visit, I hear it's lovely this time of year.
If you were to design a GPU several years ago, people would probably tell you designing it for AI is crazy and cryptocurrencies and raw hashing power is where the money's at.

In the end, Nvidia kind of got lucky with their bet on AI. While CUDA has been a thing for a while, it was limited to mostly academic and workstation workloads. It wasn't until LLMs and things like Stable Diffusion when it really became popular.

Unfortunately for non-NV users, most of these AI workloads when run locally assume CUDA is present and it's a considerable effort to make them work on non-NV GPUs. It's fairly okay for common workloads like running basic LLMs and SD models, but as soon as you get into more advanced/obscure stuff the harder it gets without CUDA.
The “trends in software” is the problem here: we’ve gotten greedy as developers and basically build assuming resources don’t matter. I am quite willing to bet that if we considered resources, we’d still be able to build all the stuff we want without assuming resources are free. Hardware would be viable longer. Efficiency unfortunately seems like the last thing anyone thinks about anymore, instead favoring time to market and layers upon layers that prioritize developer happiness and productivity over all else.
I run a domain registrar. "serverHold" is not a status that iwantmyname could've set. If they had suspended the domain it'd have "clientHold" set. Server Hold means the registry (i.e. .io directly) has suspended the domain. Your best bet would be to contact the Internet Computer Bureau Ltd who run .io at admin@icb.co.uk, or the registry technical support provider Identity Digital at techsupport@identity.digital.
I should have waited to buy the 400 a few months ago.
It's not optimal, but he must choose between every published game there and one fanpage.

Besides that, there are so many websites with copyright content that never changes the domains, is just the domain registration bad or why they just disabled the domain?
forced labor in prisons, prison factories are a business model. you need workers there. can't call them slaves any more, but that's what they are. young, strong and _not_ free to go.
perfect, business wise.
Phones are also often paid for too. If you had a keyboard + screen + battery and could just clip your phone in that would feel like a pretty nice setup.

Bonus there is that it's one place for all your data.

Alternatively, on the data side I've been shocked at how cheap storage is now. I bought a 256gb usb stick shipped for £10. I've got tiny 4tb external drives. You can get terabyte microsd cards! It'd be pretty nice to have a setup where the device is intended to be blank and you just pop your data card in. I know it's more complex but not that complex for what would to me feel like a fairly sci-fi thing.
Scammers rarely "come clean", even when it's clear both parties know what's up - they don't want to get banned from the host platform.

Perhaps it comes naturally ;)

No, but seriously, you may be giving them a bit too much benefit of the doubt.

There's a little more context here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42364033

Note the "fraud and phishing" complaint. Like, I don't see _any_ way to get to that from what's going on, and of course registrars (correctly) take such complaints far more seriously than DMCA complaints (which shouldn't really be going to the registrar in the first instance, of course).

I wouldn't particularly blame the registrar here, though now that 'AI' spamware is doing this, registrars will presumably have to take fraud complaints a lot less seriously, and the internet will get a little bit worse. But certainly this isn't itch.io's fault; the blame lies squarely with the spamware, and with Funko for using such spamware in the first place.
If people are sitting in cells for lack of that data, the standard of proof is too low.

I mean at least those are walled garden platforms where this sort of thing we've come to expect. An independent website as big as itch.io going down because of a bogus complaint is a big surprise
You're arguing that your approach is "better", but for OP the criticism is the point. And you're coming across as incredibly smug about it.

Oh I had just plugged callcentric too. The rate tables are here:

https://www.callcentric.com/find/rate/

For North American use they were 0.0198 a minute .

Versus telnyx at 0.005 per minute but wants business registration.

Skype was 2.3 cents a minute and it was never great.

For anyone who had Skype because they didn’t have a voip phone , or know how to set up software: the free “Lin phone” client for Linux Mac windows and mobile can be configured with a SIP provider.

You just type in sip.callcentric.net and your login is the 1777xxxxxx account number. Password is set separately under the extensions tab.

That’s all you need and you can prepay a credit balance like you did with Skype
They've only been going for a year. I think the idea is to use the money to become a leader.
>but in part so the world where a lightweight low-consumption device can open some doors for connectivity and learning, this looks like a great solution

I hear this repeated over and over again in RPi threads, but nobody ever provides any proof of developing nations using RPis as affordable desktop computers apart from some PR articles every now and then involving partnerships and donations.

This feels more of an opinionated viewpoint or stereotype from clueless westerners from rich countries they have on developing countries. $50+ for a RPi might be affordable computer for you when your average computer at home is $700+, but for people in developing countries even $50 is A LOT of money and they're not gonna spend it buying RPis.

As someone originally from a developing nation, most people there use x86 PCs or laptops from the used market or rescued from e-waste imports and repaired because they're much cheaper (nearly free) and more abundant than a new RPI 5 based computer, not to mention more versatile in what SW they can run.

Or, more recently people started using old Android phones to learn on because they're also cheap and abundant and can be used for coding/tinkering. But RPis, not so much.

The OLPC project intended to provide cheap computers to developing countries also failed in part because, just like a RPI as a computer, westerners don't understand the market of developing countries and do product development from their own privileged perspective.

This isn't meant to denigrate anyone's work or effort, just wanted to share the reality in the field that I encountered.

Oh and BTW, even in the rich west where I live now, a RPi5 is pretty expresive and impractical for a general purpose computer when you can find Core i5 laptops with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSDs for that money on the used market. And it comes with display and battery to boot and can be used on the go.

I think the takeaway should be that if we want Western economies to keep growing, we need to cut these useless rich bureaucrats out and give power to the engineers.
Same thing with Gandi, which is a shame. Domain renewal price silently went up 3x or so last year after getting acquired.
Great, can I plug a USB drive in, and use it?
