Every tech support worker has seen this countless times. So many people are completely blind to the idea that turning your device over to support means support can actually see what’s on your device…

I love the idea of recipe sites and meal planning sites but like most of the web it’s all so user-hostile now that I don’t feel bad scraping stuff anymore. Short of a few exceptions which I do bookmark and visit, they’re all just taking recipes from other sites anyway and adding paragraphs of blogspam and/or AI slop to it.

Sony have always been Disney-esque in their legal aggression. They don't care if they're right, they have teams of lawyers and they're quite happy to sic them on any tiny thing because they know you can't fight back even if you wanted to.

I way prefer ePaper over reading on my phone so I have both the x3 and the x4 and love both.

The x3 is so small it sticks to my phone via the charging magnet on the back so it goes everywhere my phone does.

The x4 is a bit bigger so a bit more readable but still smaller than an iPhone, so it’s easy to keep in your pocket or bag.

You can be more expensive if you’re better, or you can be worse if you’re cheaper, but they’re both the downsides while living purely off brand recognition.

They also blew up in a time where there wasn’t any real competition. Sony had action cameras but they were bulkier and expensive, and didn’t have the features of GoPro.

These days other brands give better quality video in better quality hardware and more functionality, for cheaper.

The amount of this type of crap getting upvoted lately makes me think HN is probably getting a bot-vote problem like reddit has. I can’t imagine HN members actually upvoting this obvious AI slop?

There’s plenty of other printers that can do the same or better and/or cheaper if you want “building and managing the printer” to be half the hobby, which is a totally fair thing and can be lots of fun if you’re into tinkering, but for a printer that just prints things as a tool there’s absolutely nothing close to Prusa and they’re worth every cent.

I say that as someone who uses LLMs daily too, and isn't a hater of them. Nothing wrong with using an LLM to help come up with content wording or to proof-read your writing etc etc, but just copy-pasting LLM output directly into a blog is lazy and instantly signals that it's not worth my time to read it.

The absolute best projects ever posted here are the ones made for no other reason than “just because I wanted to”.

I assumed there’d be 1 or 2 would be, but 50+ is wild. I just went down the rabbit hole of “things named after Sir David Attenborough” and it’s a lot!

It used to be almost unusable with all the UI bugs (can't close tabs when you open them, can't resize the window without panes bugging out or the app crashing, etc).

I get the occasional crash where it just closes completely for no reason, but very rarely in the last year.
