I'm surprised anyone still uses wordpress after this whole sh!tshow, but outside HN folks probably don't even know. Just reading about it about it puts me off from the product and company.

At this point is anyone surprised at what Amazon will do to the plebeian workers that fuel them?

I can't wait to see how bad the hinge does with ifixit.

GM tried for years building their own infotainment system internally and never made one anyone liked until they just integrated android auto/car play finally. It was an admission of defeat in doing so, but made everyone happy. When they announced pulling this back, I laughed, thinking "trying to put the rabbit back in the bag, eh?"

Would I buy a car without android auto as an android user? No, end of story. GM can die like other stupid heavy-handed vendors, but sadly they are too big to fail, and will drag down the nation with them.

Pay the fine, go back to exploiting humanity.

Its not enough. Shut them down.

Claude, I need a strategy for defeating unions trying to up their rates, please research union defeating settlements done in the past 50 years and build a case against them to keep our rates at the lowest possible.

If not for creeper cops to creep, what is it for?

They must love giving their personal information to Microsoft. Mac users are used to it with the icloud "privacy" proxy they default enable on macos/ios users to slurp everything they do already, so I guess why limit yourself to giving your info to only to Tim Apple. Microsoft needs love too.

Google is an ad company, ad blockers are bad. Why are you using a browser from an advertising company and expecting different results?

Microsoft repurposed Google's adware in Chrome into Edge telemetry/spyware to feed your browsing directly into windows telemetry to watch everything you do, they wanted that back when IE lost the war.

Google already went evil and set the precedent removing adblocking capabilities, now Microsoft can just blame them and feed everything you do into Bing for ad money as well as telemetry/spyware without you blocking it, that's effectively double-dipping all in on stupid windows users.

They turned themselves into whores for sale to the highest bidder. I imagine if they could, cocaine brands would be on everyone's shirts and tattoo's on players foreheads.

Silly people still care about this crap.

I always find it hilarious CNN as the last bastion of democracy will slog Polymarket in their "numbers" segments constantly. Way to jerk off the president still CNN, can't turn down those advertisements.

It's probably going to come down to a whale bet on Polymarket, and Trump owed someone a call back.

These are basically paid soap operas like American "professional wrestling", and they have quite the following, so what does it matter fake or not?

I tried to look, but the google captcha wouldn't let me, finally gave up trying.

China will just buy a "trusted partner" one way or another.

It's like the epidemic of scam nvidia cards being resold without gpu or memory - where do you think those are going?

I'll wait for the Fitgirl digital download special edition.

This is every few weeks, I cancelled Anthropic and now use Codex only. Anthropic has been a hot mess since at least december in my usage, and has only gotten worse in 2026.

Either you drink your Microsoft poison, or you leave.

Developers should spend more time being network engineers before writing network code. I saw this title and my first thought was, "What, mtu?"

If you've ever had to support vpn's in an enterprise securing businesses with ipsec or sslvpn with tunnel overhead, you've run into mtu issues. Some apps/protocols or firewalls misbehave, devs/engineers didn't read the memo from 20 years ago in rfc form how ipv6 mtu's work (and missed v4 to boot, lucking out with 20 more years of someone else fixing it).

Not Tailscale or Cisco or in between are immune to mtu issues in vpn or networking.

Is it just me or does the back of it look like the goatse.cx guy?

It ought to be illegal everywhere, the only reason it won't be in the US is the president is on the grift with his kids operating on the boards of them.

>> SteamOS could still be affected

Steam itself does age verification, which when you first boot a steamdesk, afaik it forces you to log into steam before you can do much of anything without some initial hackery. That said, once in there's nothing stopping them from launching into desktop mode, launching firefox, and watching pr0n that way.

Sadly the solution is still for parents to do real parenting, but that's like saying stupid people shouldn't breed.

Even more so, just like meta removing end to end encryption.

"Nah dog, we like watching everything you say and do."

Just like manifest v3, it's not in their best interests to disallow snooping. It hurts their business model.

>> it seems that Signal's team is actively working on linking additional Android devices, and very soon we can simply solve this by using Signal for Android.

Wishful thinking, this has been a problem since tablets (android or ios) were a thing and trying to use one linked to your phone.

Roblox has long been known as a pedo farm, and talks with friends actually with kids all know it, so I don't know how it's still even around.

It sounds like the great firewall of god that is meant to prevent all sins. In theory it's probably just a content filtering service, same as most enterprises do, but with a spin for godly sheep to flock to.

Not a bad idea really if you have kids, as the alternative is basically spyware on your kids phone, and today it's somewhat trivial to build your own MVNO off a mainstream network like this. Would I ever trust it? About as much as I'd ever trust a priest around my kid, which is never.

Tim Apple always does what is right! Next he'll give an Apple Peace Prize to Bibi.

I wonder what would happen posting these ads to truth social and twitter.

Their support is non-existent. It's NOT suitable for enterprise.
