New comment by robbiet480 in "RealPage rent-pricing case wraps with nearly $360M to renters"

robbiet480 — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 07:40:38 +0000

I leased at two RealPage properties for a combined 151 months. Both of them were confirmed to be colluding with one another and they were both confirmed as “high software collusion” by an expert. I calculated that the max payout I could get is ~$83,000 for the estimated amount I was overcharged rent for those ~12 years.

Can’t wait to get like $300 out of this. /s

New comment by robbiet480 in "The iPhone 4 'Antennagate' Press Conference Q&A – Finally"

robbiet480 — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:14:46 +0000

Weirdly, I and at least a few others based on the YouTube comments, saw the presentation pop up in our YouTube suggestions in the last few days and at least I watched the presentation a few days ago. Wonder if there’s any connection between its recent resurgence and this Q&A getting uploaded now.

Also gotta wonder (as John does) where this came from. I assume Apple’s archival library, but who got it out of there and why now.

Yes they have, but they didn't have the ability to align a book _on device_ like Apogee does. It just listens for a few seconds of audio to find where you are in the book and then aligns automatically going forward without having to pre-process.

I haven't spent much time with calibre-web in a long time but can confidently say BookOrbit blows it out of the water in terms of functionality. I love that I can have one app that handles books and audiobooks. The ecosystem of apps that work with it is growing quick too, Apogee for iOS being a standout for me. They recently added readaloud support (like Amazon Whispersync or Storyteller) natively in the app, which I've never seen done before.

I have no relation to BookOrbit except I'm a very happy user.

For someone looking for a bit more than this, I recently got Bookorbit running and its quite powerful for being so young. https://bookorbit.app/

My current daily driver is a Logitech MX Keys. I don't love it honestly but it's not bad.

Ask HN: What's your daily driver keyboard?

Inspired by the thread about typ.ing [0] and people talking about their setup, I wondered what HN users are using for their daily driver keyboard.

Please list the model, switches, keycaps, layout and any other details you think relevant.

Did you look at LiteLLM at all? It seems fine but Bifrost looks interesting too.

Ramp (the startup neobank that has eaten Brex's lunch as of the last year or two) is getting into the AI routing game to compete with OpenRouter and LiteLLM it seems.

They recently rolled out some quite good cross provider AI spend management tools. The router is surprising but also makes sense for them I think.
