Yeah, that's my experience as well, regarding apps being bloaty. Xiaomi phones also let me disable the network, which I do, and I've found one more thing that made a big difference: Setting the background process count to 1 or 2 from the developer options.

And yes, agreed, I can't live without mobile browser extensions. Tubular for YouTube is similarly indispensable.
It's strange that they don't specify what gamut. I think it's possible that they mean 45% of the entire CIE gamut, which would be slightly larger than sRGB.

(It's an odd way of specifying a monitor though, usually manufacturers specify as a fraction of either Adobe RGB or Display P3.)
Clearly I'm not a lawyer either, but isn't accusing someone of doing something that is not true and that can have legal ramification a suable behavior in the US?

Of course this is only true in the deontic sense of 'cannot'. They're not permitted to commit illegal acts, but they're demonstrably capable of it.

The point you are making is irrelevant as it has nothing to do with my point which is what I want as features on my phone. Whether manufacturers make them or how many other people may want the same as I do is a separate issue.

Tell me that and I may be able to then figure where you are coming from. BTW, read my comment to f6v.
aw I've always loved iwantmyname, I haven't noticed any issues other than the price increases.

Though it was the indie/personal feel they had as a registrar, I might look for alternatives.
Unexpected?
> * Intel still has more employees in 2024 than in 2019. Instead of trimming fat, he added more fat.

Intel hiring practices under Gelsinger were really puzzling. Did he think that by hiring thousands of random university graduates there will be the next Gordon Moore among them? It was also discussed on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42300028

I can kind of understand the extensive poaching of TSMC engineers in Arizona. Though making TSMC upset is playing with fire as much of Intel's business now depends on them.
> I don't think any rational person would disagree that it should be illegal to deliberately spread misinformation and lies.

I would rather not let the goivernment decide what is the truth. A free and independent press as well as free speech in general is a very important check on government corruption that we should not get rid of even if it means tolerating some comparatively minor issues.

"Fake news" is much better solved by teaching people to think critically and ensuring that they have the ability and will to deal with being subjected to deliberately wrong information no matter who it comes from. Unfortunately most school systems do the opposite of that, teaching instead to blindly follow authority and to accept whatever information is provided as fact. Same with current progressive culture in general, if you even dare question any of its dogma you are shunned. No individual though allowed.
Here's some food-for-thought questions:

First, a correctness question:

- if a struct contains padding, the value of these padding bytes is undefined. What happens if you use such a struct as a key?

And then some integration questions:

- how do you make this typesafe against mixing up 2 distinct uses of hashmaps in the application?

- how do you make this typesafe for its keys and values, i.e. remove accident-prone casts on read access?

- how do you not call the compare and hash functions through function pointers? (Calling through function pointers is both performance relevant as well as a target for exploitation by overwriting the pointer)

(None of these have "nice" answers. But thinking about them is IMHO extremely valuable since these are the most challenging in organizing and engineering an actual codebase itself.)
The iPad is a perfectly usable machine with keyboard and mouse, and it's quite popular so that's a good general model to aim for. Even running some remote desktop (thin client mode) could be a great feature and productivity boost.

> it's not a solved problem either

Never said it is. But we can't use one experience from the baby years of the smartphone to proclaim what won't work or won't have demand today. If we never try to solve a problem, especially because "it didn't work on the first attempt ages ago", then we'll never solve a problem.
People seem super divided on Pat. I read both very strong “he is right for intel” to “he fcked up intel”.

I don’t know enough about CEOs and the corporate workings of Intel, or their product line (looong time AMD user). But what I guess is telling is that a few years ago gaming PCs started talking about AMD builds.. with even AMD GPUs. Intel didn’t have a competing GPU so I wonder if they were hurt by this.

I’m guessing prebuilts would get a good deal if they went fully AMD vs a hybrid system.

Anyway, there is probably a ton of problems deep down that I am oblivious to - a single misstep doesn’t ruin a company as old as Intel… . :)
Although it does require it for setup, no?
Ask HN: What are your experiences with scaling a company?
Let's say your company has 20 employees (markets, products, dev) and one stable product they offer. The plan is to introduce another new product and maybe add new members to the team.

What challenges are there? What's important? Do you have any experiences to share?
DCI-P3 is about 45% of CIE, so maybe that?

The product brief says 16.2M color depth, though, which would mean it's 6-bit + FRC which is bizarre to couple with an aim for DCI-P3, so perhaps not.

Quite an odd product!

I assume these are mostly all trade-ofs so you can power it on one of the Pi's USB-A ports without an additional PSU required.
> No, I’m not going to turn off our WAF so you can test that hypothesis.

It would be worth your while to test it. You could run a dev/testing version of your app on a separate domain, without a WAF, and without any sensitive data held on it.

WAFs are a last resort to fix the bugs you didn't know about, and your application should still be safe without a WAF otherwise you're not actually getting the defense-in-depth you wanted. For an attacker that cares enough, WAF bypasses are a near inevitability.

I actually have both IKEA bulbs and Hue bulbs, but the appliance is different for both. I use the Hue bulbs where I want high quality lightning like the living room, kitchen, bathroom and office. I use the IKEA bulbs in places where I don't really care how good the lightning is; the hallways, toilet, garage etc. Automations for IKEA bulbs are in Home Assistant and for Hue they are in the Hue app.

IMO Home Assistant doesn't really do a good job with controlling the lights. It doesn't have the creative abilities to create or choose predefined "cool" scenes. Besides I don't want to know how much work I need to do in Home Assistant to re-configure the smart switches from Hue and their features.

In the end I can still control the Hue bulbs with Home Assistant if I want to. The Hue app doesn't prevent you from controlling the Hue bulbs from Home Assistant

I have more than 5 years experience with Home Assistant and Zigbee devices.
(No zwave experience)

Generally I am happy with Zigbee, it's super annoying to pair, but for battery powered devices it's unbeatable.

I went from a some AliExpress USB Stick to a ConBee2 to the Home Assistant Yellow.
I use Ikea, Sonoff, Xiaomi (Aqara) Zigbee devices all of them "just work".

The one big thing Zigbee is good at is not requiring you to need some proprietary App, all devices are just paired locally, you don't need to question if that app you just installed phones home.

For general hardware advice:

Overall the Home Assistant Yellow was the best choice overall, I would anyone who doesn't want to spend a ton of time on HA hosting to just buy it.
Everything works pretty flawlessly with it.

Conbee 2 ist still my current stick because I am experimenting with the Matter/Thread Support on the Home Assistant Yellow, sadly without success though.

My best recommendation if you want to tinker with smart devices is get anything that you can flash Tasmota on. (List of Devices https://templates.blakadder.com/ )

Tasmota is an amazing piece of software that runs on your smart device for example a power plug.

https://tasmota.github.io/docs/

Get MQTT running on your Home Assistant device, or any in your network and start connecting stuff to it.

I have Shelly powerplugs flashed with Tasmota and that opens up so many possibilities.
In case you were visiting from the US, by far the cheapest way of travelling is the Eurail pass.

https://www.eurail.com/en/eurail-passes

However for $300 you get 7 days of unlimited travel throughout Europe (not just
the EU), because the UK is included and as stated in this report it is one of the most expensive in Europe.

Those 7 days can be spread out over a month, so you only use the days where you are actually travelling on train.

[Edit] If you are only going to be in one country, then it does make it cheaper. $200 for 7 days worth of travel over a month for France, for example.
One thing is wrong with it: a large part of C developers either doesn't know it exists, or doesn't know what it does.

Just a small side comment: I don’t think that being technical and focusing on the right things are equivalent.

There are examples of people like Steve Jobs who knew how to surround themselves with the right technical people without being too technical themselves.

And then there are also the technical leaders that ignore the business side…

I’ve been using the new Pi Monitor for a couple of weeks. It’s very reminiscent of the easel-style Apple Displays from back in the day.

I’ve mainly been using it as a second display but plan to wall-mount it to show the family calendar, as they’ve made it really easy to flip the back leg and hang it on a hook.

I think these are going to sell really well into education and back offices.
I love my sawstop, it's a great machine.

Often times when a product has some patent-protected feature, the product itself is substandard, but I have not found that case with sawstop. It's one of my highest quality tools.

It would be nice if the mechanism wasn't so destructive. I accidentally had an aluminum fence just a fraction of a mm too close, and it touched the blade. I was using a dado stack, and it did a number on the carbide teeth of the blades. Good dado sets are not cheap, nor is the sawstop cartridge.
Not true. They are widely available and used in Australia.
I'm mostly fine with the default keyboard as it is, but I keep getting tripped up on the location of the backspace key. The key you use to correct erroneous input was somehow put right next to the key to confirm correct input.

Because of this I've sent way too many badly worded, typo-riddled and incomplete messages.
I'm only familiar with the latter definition. My mistake I guess.
A raspberry pi 5 is still 2 to 3 times less power hungry than a N100. If one has no need for the power, it makes totally sense to just use a raspberry.

> I'm glad the founders got their exit

I'm not.

I mean, I am happy for them but this concept of growing a business to an exit is not going well for society as a whole (at least the exits that are in my areas of interest, so I assume it extrapolates to all exits).

Every single business that gets bought out gets instantly enshittified in one way or another, always to the detriment of the customer. Depending on how entrenched it was it takes a different amount of time for people to move on as the new shareholders extract its economical value, but it almost always destroys societal value in the process as the company becomes a shadow of its former self (and hopefully dies, leaving way for the cycle to start again).

I wish there was a way for founders to get rich without the need for an exit, so the business could keep running... but I guess ruthless enshittification is the only way to get rich?

Apologies for the tangent, this is something that's been bouncing in my mind for a while...

I was fixing y2k problems end 90s; there were quite a lot of them we fixed. It was strange how many we found that absolutely unnecessary even at the time they were built, but the systems were built with no-one expecting them to survive that long. I wrote 100s of programs in pascal (for DOS and later Delphi) and C/C++ in the 80-90s myself and scarily many of them (or their libraries) were in production > 2000. That was never expected to happen, but easy to check and fix as I know myself so grep -r "Year" ./source was enough to find them all anyway.
> and people think "ooh AI is bad, the bubble must burst" when this has nothing to do with that in the first place

That haphazard branding and parroting is exactly why the bubble needs to burst. Bubbles bursting take out the gritters and rarely actually kills off all the innovation in the scene (it kills a lot, though. I'm not trying to dismiss that).
It's not insane at all. Funko unalived itch.io and its entire ecosystem.

Yeah I was a fan, had every domain with them that I could! But once they were acquired their .org renewal prices just did not make sense any more, and they were missing some functionality that I thought was crucial and didn't seem inclined to add it (can't remember what it was now, maybe MFA).

Domains are like car insurance – there's no reward for loyalty, so makes sense to shop around come renewal time.
I do find HN threads about R-Pi products weigh heavily negative. Yet despite the apparent many major issues that keep getting pointed out R-Pi seems to keep going from strength to strength. Maybe they understand their own customers and their market better than commenters here?

Did this account violate your ToS or the actual law? While I totally understand where are you coming from and I would probably be forced to do the same, I still tend to believe that closing a fan account is exactly the same thing that your registrar did to you.
Isn't the "".join also dangerous?

You can shift characters between adjacent fields without changing the hash. Maybe you cannot compromise the system directly, but you could poison the cache with a broken image, or induce a downgrade.

The way modern stock ownership is structured makes it almost impossible for shareholders to exercise any meaningful control.

Shareholders have no access to insider, commercially confidential information - so shareholders don't get to change the captain until after the ship's hit the iceberg. If I have shares in a video game company and the inept boss didn't organise enough testing so the game's got loads of major bugs? Well, I only find out after the damage is done. Is Gelsinger fucking up the delivery of 18A? I have no idea!

Meanwhile, individual shareholders' power is incredibly diffuse. The smart investor has a diversified portfolio, and even if I've literally got a million dollars invested in Intel, I still only own 0.0011% of the company.

Maybe I should coordinate with the other investors, you say? Get together with 1000 other similar investors, and we've got 1% between us? It's impossible, because they're all anonymous. There isn't anywhere I can rally the other shareholders.

And on top of that, loads of companies have dual-class share structures specifically designed to stop shareholders having any say. Whether you're invested in Facebook, FitBit or Ford - good luck exercising control when insiders' shares have 10x the votes yours have.

And that's without getting into passive investors and pension funds.

If I don't like Intel's current board, just selling my shares is far, far simpler than exercising any sort of meaningful active governance.

It's got to be something relating to usage patterns. I've been buying the cheapest android phones my carrier supports and only upgrading them when my carrier forces me, and I never experience any slowdowns. On the other hand, I use almost no commercial apps, banking and finance being the exceptions. I use a few apps from F-Droid but the rest is just browser and basic phone functions.

The phone I have now is a Nokia branded something, can't remember the model name but it's about two years old. As fast as the day I bought it.
More than the hypothetical risk of Earth being consumed by a paperclip-making machine, I believe the real and present danger in the use of ML and AI technology lies in humans making irresponsible decisions about where and how to apply these technologies.

For example, in my country, we are still dealing with the fallout from a decision made over a decade ago by the Tax Department. They used a poorly designed ML algorithm to screen applicants claiming social benefits for fraudulent activity. This led to several public inquiries and even contributed to the collapse of a government coalition. Tens of thousands of people are still suffering from being wrongly labeled as fraudulent, facing hefty fines and being forced to repay so-called fraudulent benefits.
Indeed. I'm using a $150 Moto since three years back when the charger port broke on my previous phone.

Why on earth would you send letters? These are all huge corporations with sizeable legal departments. They either know or they should, and most importantly, are paid to handle this. Moreover, you're not likely to be heard or understood by the first line of customer care there, even if this was something they weren't aware of (quite unlikely) but wished they were. It's a waste of time, and something even the biggest altruist would find hard to defend as a sensible effort.

Besides, Disney is perfectly capable of degrading their own brand.
This stuff would be civil jurisdiction in most countries. The Internet adds an extra layer of problems: the registrar, complainant etc may be in different countries, making it practically very hard to get anything done.
Even if the suit is 100% justified (which it is in this case), and you can show damages, the problem will usually be of jurisdiction.

Funko Pop is an American Company.
