happynacho··on Wear OS "Hybrid" design has two OSes, two CPUs, "100 hour" battery life
And a 100 day support lifespan before Google kills it (again)
happynacho··on Google search drops cache link from search results
Noticed the other day, wasn't sure if it was specific domain or just me. Sucks still though
happynacho··on How Did Polyamory Become So Popular?
It didn't
happynacho··on Saving Instagram images automatically every hour with Node.js or PHP
There are some commercial apps that do (like 4k stogram) that but it's a cat and mouse game with Instagram.
happynacho··on People are sick and tired of all their subscriptions
This is exactly why I continue to torrent stuff
happynacho··on Ask HN: How do you start over with 2FA after losing your phone?
I use Step Two which also has a Mac app, that also does sync to iCloud.

Not a single point of failure.

happynacho··on Apple’s risky, yearslong effort to design its own silicon is paying off
I have never thought of that but I agree. Personal combination of devices/OS/apps is a reflection of our own mind and everyone should choose what works for them best.
happynacho··on Apple’s risky, yearslong effort to design its own silicon is paying off
Just so you know, rumors say M2 is around the corner, so you might save just enough to buy it when it comes out.
happynacho··on You’re muted – or are you? Videoconferencing apps may listen when mic is off
That's why I use an external mute. No shenanigans.
happynacho··on On 2022-04-05, the default branch will be renamed from “master” to “main”
Wokeism is going too far
happynacho··on Ask HN: How do you get work done while there is a war in Europe?
I ignore it. It isn't that hard.

happynacho··on Dooble: A minimal GUI web browser
Looks 95% like Firefox
happynacho··on Apple Aims to Prevent Defections to Meta with $180k Bonuses for Top Talent
Leaving for Google or even Microsoft I would understand it but for Meta?! Why?
happynacho··on The state of external retina displays
I've found running 4K @ 2x/200% scaling "retina" to be the best price/performance option right now. 5K displays are nowhere to be seen and 6K/8K have absurd prices.

My dream monitor would be a dual-5k super-ultrawide, even at 60Hz. That's at least 5 years away if not 10.

happynacho··on Ask HN: Have you accepted the TOS that give FB access to your WhatsApp data?
No, I always dismissed it until they had enough backslash and stopped pushing it. I still use whatsapp tho (along with Telegram)
happynacho··on Some experts suggest Omicron variant may have evolved in an animal host

Protecting the white house legendary ratios.

It's simple. Money.

"transitory"
happynacho··on Ask HN: Can Firefox be revived?
The CEO's job is to grow the company and have it improve or make products. Tanking Firefox and firing the developers (Servo team) is the opposite of that.
happynacho··on Train riders held up phones as woman was raped, police say
In a time where you can get sued by anyone and the age of trial by social media and biased news, sometimes not doing anything is the better self-serving option.
happynacho··on Firefox Now Sends Your Address Bar Keystrokes to Mozilla
When I thought Firefox couldn't go any lower, Mozilla manages to surprise me. Impressive.
happynacho··on Firefox Addons Unable to Update, Undisclosed AMO Issues
You're not looking at the full picture. Mozilla's pure incompetence to even maintain their addons ecosystem. Remember when all live addons failed due to a cert failure? Besides dumbing down the browser now they can't even seem to get addons running smoothly. Extensions/addons are a core part of a modern browser.
happynacho··on Firefox Addons Unable to Update, Undisclosed AMO Issues
And then Mozilla wonders why people don't use Firefox.
happynacho··on Reddit’s Hosting Service and the Dangers of Outlinking
Using SPLC as any kind of authority besides a clown factory?! Trash article.
happynacho··on Firefox Browser: best for a free web
Mozilla does really love to milk "Open source" and "free" for Firefox marketing. How about about if they actually gave users what they wanted?
happynacho··on Ask HN: Should it be legal to switch privacy policies after purchase?
...and this is a perfect example of why I don't buy anything "smart" besides my phone.
