We have standard labeling since 2021, the problem manufactures don't use it.

You mean something like this, which we have since 2021: https://learn.adafruit.com/understanding-usb-type-c-cable-ty...

If you're happy with the base model, then Apple has a great value/price ratio, but there's nothing below it and any upgrade is really bad value for the money.

I went from 34"(3440x1440) which felt a little bit small to 38"(3840x1600) and it is nearly perfect. I can have my main window in the middle and 2 or 4 smaller windows (logs, chat, youtube, etc) on the side.

The only thing I want now is double pixel density.

You don't have to show the cookie banner if you don't use third party cookies.

The problem with third party cookies that it can track you across multiple websites.

Sometimes I wish software development didn’t pay so exceptionally well. I’m interested in so many other things, but it’s hard to justify switching to another full-time field, knowing it would mean a significant pay cut.

I don't think they really need to. You can have the base model with the same specs, but let me configure it with a better display. I can currently spec up a Mac Mini without any problem.

The second option is to bring back the MacBook brand for entry level devices and use the Air brand for "Pro" devices that don't require active cooling.

Doesn't matter to me if I still have to buy the chunky Pro to get a decent display.

The current Air is great as an entry level device, but there is an underserved segment here.

I lived in multiple places in Europe and it was the same.

There is a strong difference here: Smartphones are kind of essential to our modern life, game consoles aren't.

I attend 1-3 meetups a month, the recent changes made it unusable for me. They want $10 a month just to check who will be attending. I don't say they should provide everything for free, but that pricing is ridiculous.

I really appreciate HN's simplicity and functional design. I mis one or two features (like unread messages), but I rather have less than a bloatware.

The same thing happened to me and my SO. I few years ago we moved to the UK from Hungary. Most of the past contribution was removed.

ProZsolt — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 00:00:40 +0000

There are only two types capabilities of a cable speed (480 Mb, 5Gb, 20Gb, 40Gb or 80Gb) and power (60W (3A) or 240W (5A)) everything else is depends on the host.

There is no such thing. It's only depends on the USB version.
