hrrsn··on Logic board with 20 USB3 ports
It's a 15 port per controller limit. USB hubs are fine.

hrrsn··on Apple Lightning
They've caved somewhat: https://www.apple.com/nz/newsroom/2019/08/apple-offers-custo...
hrrsn··on OpenCore: Hackintosh Alternative to Clover
If you’re passing through an entire GPU, it feels just like a native system
hrrsn··on ‘War Dialing’ tool exposes Zoom’s password problems
Then they'd need to charge extra for the SSO tax ;)

hrrsn··on MacBook 16-inch Fan Noise (2019)
I’ve noticed this too using an HP Thunderbolt Dock G2 with a 16” and 2x 4K60 monitors. I just assumed it was because it’s summer here and the laptop tends to sit in the sun a bit, but it’d be nice if it got fixed.
hrrsn··on Huawei reviewing FedEx relationship, says packages 'diverted'
They were just making a backup copy, just in case.
hrrsn··on Apple introduces 8-core MacBook Pro
MagSafe 1 and 2 topped out at 85W. There are gaming laptops that require more than one brick-sized charger. There are legitimate complaints in this thread, but this isn’t one of them.
hrrsn··on WordPress theme provider Pipdig using customer sites to DDoS competitors
Re #2, it's clear from reading the code that the function has absolutely nothing to do with a licensing check anyway.
hrrsn··on Facebook, Instagram go down around the world in an apparent outage
I consider my relationship with Messenger separate from FB. Most of my conversations happen there. I've deleted FB from my phone, but I don't think I could ever go without Messenger.
hrrsn··on Facebook, Instagram go down around the world in an apparent outage
I can live without FB and Instagram, but Messenger being down is a whole different story.

hrrsn··on Niantic, Maker of Hit ‘Pokémon Go’ App, Refuels with $3.9B Valuation
Pokemon had mass appeal. Ingress was always relatively niche and nerdy.
hrrsn··on Tell HN: In NSW, if Google doesn't track you, you can't pay Public School fees
I'm not a huge privacy freak - I have the default cookie settings on all my browsers and I'm signed into multiple Google accounts. They know who I am. I can only suspect my adblocker could be blocking something there, but other than that I should be about a regular of a user as they come.
hrrsn··on WordPress 5.0: A Gutenberg FAQ
2022 at the earliest.
hrrsn··on Tell HN: In NSW, if Google doesn't track you, you can't pay Public School fees
I do a lot of crypto trading, and many sites probably have the reCaptcha security set to max.
hrrsn··on Tell HN: In NSW, if Google doesn't track you, you can't pay Public School fees
Back in the days of book digitising reCaptcha it was fairly easy to distinguish which word was from the book vs computer generated and only answer half the captcha and pass.
hrrsn··on Tell HN: In NSW, if Google doesn't track you, you can't pay Public School fees
Even the UX of reCaptcha has seriously gone downhill recently. I wonder how many hours per week I spend clicking pictures of busses and traffic lights. I would rather pay than complete them at this point.
hrrsn··on Web.dev by Google
I agree, it’s painful, but the new AdWords UI is still far ahead of the old one.
hrrsn··on Web.dev by Google
I’ve always loved how Google’s own performance profiler marks you down for Analytics/Doubleclick caching.
hrrsn··on China Telecom's Internet Traffic Misdirection
Have you got a translated version of that screenshot?
hrrsn··on iPhones are allergic to helium
It probably affects a specific chip Apple are using that may not be present in the Androids.
hrrsn··on My phone is spying on me, so I decided to spy on it
If you don't mind DIY, Pihole + OpenVPN is a good solution: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/vpn/overview/
hrrsn··on Apple Just Killed The 'GrayKey' iPhone Passcode Hack
I'd wager this is a fairly fringe case that isn't worth the trade off. If you don't have a recent backup and absolutely need the data, take it to a third party repair shop/buy a screen from ifixit/data recovery lab, connect a new display, enter your PIN, back it up.
hrrsn··on Why I Bid $700 for a Stolen PSN Account
I doubt they really care at the end of the day. My Instagram username is three letters and I (used to) get 4-5 reset emails a day prior to turning on 2FA. I also frequently get asked if I want to sell the name. I'm just worried someone will get in and take it.
hrrsn··on Found hooked up to my router
Many sites can be included as HSTS only in Chrome itself, so it wouldn't be entirely useless.

hrrsn··on Why I’m done with Chrome
> But if you deal directly with Google ad sales (and this is something I never knew existed tbh) they will intentionally screw you if you are under a certain spend.

Any more details on this?

hrrsn··on Snap’s Drop in Active Users Could Signal a Social Media Peak
Just anecdotally, most of my friends stopped using Snapchat after the horrific redesign and moved to Instagram stories. Can't say I blame them
hrrsn··on MacBook Pro with faster performance and new features for pros
Better Touch Tool addresses almost all of your concerns
hrrsn··on Hacking a cheap fitness tracker bracelet
They're pretty cheap used. They don't seem to hold their value as well as other Apple gadgets.
hrrsn··on The DisplayPort Pin 20 Problem
Change the cable, not the device.
