ESPs are still easy to get though and are surprisingly powerful enough for many tasks

I'm happily surprised that this post is staying in the front of HN for so long.

Firefox used to discover RSS links on web pages and display an icon next to the URL I believe, It is one of the many features that was removed over the years.

Also I wish that https://apnews.com/ had an RSS feed (I know that you can create a feed from it using 3rd party services).

Today I disabled Android Play Services on my phone because I believe that is the main service that Google use to log everything you do and I started to literally get 7 notifications every time I turn my phone ON to tell me that some features will stop working (device health services, Messages, Calendar, Duo, My Places, Maps, Carrier services) but I either don't use those features (like My Places) or it is not true that it stopped working (Messaging app, or Maps navigation) and I don't see how to disable those notifications or features that I don't need.

When I search for "Let's go brandon" (no quotes), it is number four in the search results... but with quotes, with or without apostrophe, I'm not sure because I don't see it... went down about 100 results...

I think that we have some artificial inflation because of supply chain issues and all cargo ships sitting in the Pacific ocean waiting to be unloaded. But I don't see why stock prices should not raise with everything else.

In some countries, cops don't even carry guns on a daily basis

it should make a come back

> 5 years of security updates, 3 years of feature updates.

It would be nice to have 8 years of security updates and 0 years of feature updates, instead. I always dreamed of having the option to only have security updates on my OSes...

Yet you buy into the most intrusive of them all... an Android device.

so a smart volume button

> What if, instead, the calibration process worked constantly? Give the user a button to press when they don't hear something well, and another when they do.
