Ask yourself "Would I like to be friend with ". Then invest in things you do not like. Smile. Go to gym. Be friendly with people, but not creepy. Help people. Be good family member and friend. Get yourself good clothes. Find interesting hobby. Cook. Pay whole bill when you go outside occasionally. Do it for yourself, not for others. When you become best version of self, people will start notice you more and more.

Ask HN: How much you can customize iPadOS?

djdule — Tue, 28 May 2024 09:13:25 +0000

Unfortunately Apple created great piece of hardware, new iPad Pro and keyboard, but decided to keep it crippled with iPadOS. Since under new DMA laws in EU you can install 3rd party software, I am thinking to what extent it is possible to customize iPadOS? Would it be possible, using extensions, open source and other customization, to make iPadOS more general OS like (better FS access, better support for multi tasking, etc, etc) ?

Ask HN: Any legal way against forced software upgrades and feature removal

djdule — Tue, 23 Jan 2024 17:45:46 +0000

It was reported here earlier today that Apple forced OS upgrades for some users without asking (https://www.macintouch.com/post/37381/macos-sonoma-forced-installs/).

There is also situation when upgrades remove features. For example 1Password deliberately crippled perfectly fine password sync for users because they wanted to force them to new, cloud (and subscription) based version.

Is there any legal way to fight against this ? I am in EU, but I am interested in other legislative as well

How to best monetize collection of 8bit computers?

djdule — Thu, 29 Dec 2022 10:52:27 +0000

Good friend of mine do have great collection of 8bit computers. Apart from usual ones (Commodore, Sinclair…), there are lot of East European and similar model that are not frequent. He was thinking about some kind of museum, but I am looking for better solution, if any. Museums require large investment and usualy bring low revenue. Any idea or advice how to create better business out of it? Location would be Europe.

New comment by djdule in "Ask HN: Thoughts on Working for Huawei?"

djdule — Tue, 12 Oct 2021 10:56:36 +0000

I work for Huawei in Germany as external contractor. Project I am working on is extremely interesting and payment is correct. Some of colleagues I have are one of smartest people that I met. There is culture clash sometime when I need to collaborate with colleagues in mainland China, but I see them as interesting features of global world. If job is interesting, well paid and progress in your career then go ahead.

When you say "Americans", do you refer to US, North America or both Americas (North and South) ?
