Hates_··on Ask HN: Whats the story behind Linus showing middle finger to Nvidia?
> Torvalds publicly criticized the company last week during a question and answer session that followed a presentation. He called NVIDIA the “single worst company” that Linux developers have ever worked with, then pointed out that NVIDIA’s failure to work constructively with the Linux community is especially disappointing in light of the company’s large presence in the Android market.

Hates_··on Everything That's Wrong with Hackintosh
While I can see that the author says that if they had just put the time it took them into getting it up and running and bought an iMac Pro instead, one thing to keep in mind that is that you can upgrade your hackintosh. Over the years, I have had three different graphics cards, added more memory and added three hard drives. In the four years I've been running my machine I've yet to feel the need upgrade the mobo and CPU as overclocking has given me all I need currently with headroom left to go faster if I need.

Hates_··on How much does an electric standing desk cost?
Shame the Ikea Bekant isn't listed (Perhaps not available in the US?). I love mine and was definitely worth the £500 investment.
Hates_··on Using Face ID to unlock brother’s iPhone X after entering PIN
For those who don't want to wade through the comments:

> We wanted to give an update on this, since we have had some time to play around with the phone a bit. And this is whats happening. I did not realize what exact steps we had followed until it happened again today. We have been resetting face id and doing it all over again. And this is what the steps are that makes it happen almost 50% of the time. Not sure if its intended or is a bug. 1. My brother(left) setup the face id. 2. Unlocks with his face. Does not with mine. 3. I entered the pin with the phone facing me. It it unlocked as expected. 4. Now I locked it again. 5. I raised it up to my face, and it unlocks. 6. It unlocks each time after that with my face

Hates_··on Benjamin Button Reviews the New MacBook Pro
As a counter point, my wife and I have both been using hackintoshes for the past four years and I do very little, if any at all, work to maintain them. Setting up a machine from scratch is made easier now with Clover. Even moving to each new version of OSX has been just as easy as my MBP which I use when travelling. That's not to say it's without it's cons, iMessage/Handoff/Facetime don't work, but that doesn't bother me as I don't really use them and when I do it's on my iPhone or iPad.
