pbc··on Japan's precision moon lander has hit its target, but appears to be upside-down

Maybe there outsourced the landing firmware to Australia :)

pbc··on Ask HN: What is a good medium for daily incremental backups?

Since you have mostly text did you considered a git private repo? Both GitHub and Gitlab offer this for free nowadays afaik.

pbc··on AirPods don't “just work”

I use jabra 75t and personally I'm not that impressed with them. Connection to 2 devices at the same time indeed works fine, mic quality for earbuds is also very good.

But they have other issues like if you remove the right earbud from your ear the left one stops (due to their choice of tech for bud to bud connection), sound glitches randomly when paired to m1 macbook, in ear fit is ok but not great.

pbc··on Ask HN: How do you OCR your receipts and bills in 2018?

Scanbot (ios and Android app) https://scanbot.io/en/index.html . I like the backup to Google Drive, OCR is there and seems fine but didn't used it much.

... then people would have complained that they have used "test networks allocated by IANA, that never can be legal public addresses" :)
