krutzger··on iOS 11 bugs are so common they now appear in Apple ads
If you have been an apple costumer for a long time you should recognize this pattern.

Once the product gets too complex and competitors start closing in attention to details will be replaced by bugs. It's like apple can't do agile development of their life dependent on it.

Shitty animation no one notices is nothing to worry about.

Those utf8 bugs that kill your phone on the other hand... How many of those had Apple had by now?

krutzger··on Debian 9.4 released
Have you tried this?

If you are an lxd fan you probably want to move to Ubuntu or maybe even Ubuntu core.

Snaps are even better, but probably not worth the extra memory usage on servers

Debian is like Arch but the opposite

You can use avr-gcc, no need for a heavy ide.

Maybe Gmail was a has example. How about the Google play store?
krutzger··on EBay to Ditch PayPal for Dutch Payment Processor Adyen
I see a possible problem with that statement: starting from a poorly secured sellers site, users can't really be sure if he ends up on the real PayPal page anyway.
krutzger··on Amazing advantages of Go that you don’t hear much about
This might be an unpopular opinion here, but I have the same problem with rust.

There are often multiple ways to do something remotely complex and out of all perfectly valid solutions I can come up with at most one is accepted by the compiler.

Go on the other hand has a compiler that reads your mind. or maybe its simply a really well designed language...

These guys also have a cheap laser cutting service if you want a more customized enclosure.

And some place in Europe just created a Ministry of Truth (to combat take news)
krutzger··on Switzerland “Should Become the Crypto-Nation” Says Minister
I might be wrong, but wasn't something like this in an early William Gibson book?

With Cron weakly taking a break, this could not have come at a better time!
krutzger··on Fruitfly, aimed at Macs, allowed hacker to take control and turn on cameras
Let's hope the your-webcam-is-active LED is hardwired in hardware and not controlled by software or firmware in computers released from now and onwards.

There was some talk about netflix advertising their other shows between streams but once people threatened to cancel their subscriptions they scraped that.

also, you missed the joke.

krutzger··on Apple's privacy feature costs ad companies millions
I helped a friend set up his new Samsung phone and was surprised to see the browser nagging us about a installing adblockers and anti-trackers. Looks like Samsung too is taking privacy seriously.

Happy to see things are improving, it was a wild west for a while...

So how does this fit into their "no commercials" policy?

Jokes aside, I don't want to see too much of this at future consumer shows.

Edit: holy downvoting brigades, what have I done?

krutzger··on Meltdown Update Kernel doesnt boot
I was under the impression that Ubuntu would automatically revert to last good kernel of the new one fails to boot. Was I mistaken?
krutzger··on Why I Still Use Vim
Visual studio (the real one, not code) isn't that performant either...
krutzger··on Spotify files for its IPO
Or maybe the lawsuit was timed to arrive just now and or extra pressure on Spotify?
krutzger··on Why Use Debian Stable on the Desktop?
I converted a similar laptop from win10 to Ubuntu and now it is all cool and quiet.

Windows seem to require many many CPU cycles just to update itself and index files (yet cortana never seems to find anything, but that's another discussion).

krutzger··on ChromeOS: How VM and Containers will seem to run
Technically, termux is a container although of a very different kind...

But then again, you don't need a pixelbook to run that :(

Why is apple the only company with this problem?

krutzger··on Ask HN: What to replace my MacBook with?
Sounds good. Spectre 360 looks as nice as the Dell XPS, if not better.

I also think they are a bit cheaper, but I'm not sure about hps track record regarding quality and Linux support.

krutzger··on Ask HN: What to replace my MacBook with?
I think the Linux version of XPS is also $100 cheaper
