Google just did Google thing on a Google owned browser. No surprises here of course

They want control on the walled garden. When was the last time apple did anything for public unless forced by FCC. Now there is no hope since they can simply donate to trump.

Lack of sleep and HDMI support is real roadblock for adoption. Hope they gets past soon.

10yrs is way too long. Should be at least as soon as last patch was released.

Ask HN: We should urge law makers to unlock the bootloaders

I have so many old android and iPhone devices that turn on and work OK-ish. I don't think I will use them as my main drivers but could be used for something else. (I am an electronics hobbyist). But unfortunately most phone and tablets have boot-loader locked made it impossible to mess with the original OS, insecure to use because they haven't been patched in a while. Security is one reason but the main reason is manufacturer control why they are locked in the first place. There are billions of old devices in e-waste now can be repurposed as usable systems if those devices support loading alternate operating systems or used for learning purpose. If we can get it into law, forcing manufacturer to open those bootloaders may be after a period, I am sure i can donate those devices to someone who could use for something.

Have they already started using (Microsoft's) AI to process those returns? As they said so.

Makes sense

Ask HN: How YouTube is recommending Chrome in middle of monopoly trial?

sansah — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 17:45:39 +0000

Google Chrome is a fast and secure browser for YouTube. Try it? I got this when not logged into google on Edge. It's a popup not a video ad. Edge runs on chromium tech, so this claim is BS. They are in-between monopoly trial. Shouldn't they have limited some of their shady practices? I also can't think brave can run ads like that. Aren't they abusing their position?
