Which EU country has comparable tuition fees to the US? Do yor kids go to some UK private university?

To any managers here, please avoid and forever forget blank cheque questions like "how are you". Makes the mood instantly superficial.

See how an much weaker russia under much worse conditions is still kinda chugging along.

You could have made similar arguments for VR/AR, yet here we are.

> same quality of life

What is your bill when an ambulance brings you in? When you have a legal problem at your workplace? What will be your pension? How is the mass transit system? What do you pay for child care, how is your school, how safe is your neighborhood, how do the number of murders in your area compare?

What does the hardware give you? These datacenters are dependent on US teams, US processes using US maintained software. It's just a bunch of fast deprecating assets, which would need a full reinstall by a team of an AWS-like entity built from ground up.

Asus ROG Z13, X13 (not your size, but also X16). You should consider getting used, tremendous value. There are some of the usual gaming laptop quirks (normal usbc chargers cant keep it charged on full load, QA issues like squeaky touchpad) but the versatility is unmatched.

Thinkpads are reliable and great QA/support, but the HW is underwhelming, bad thermals, dim screens, and just too expensive.

Chrome forks like Kiwi also have ublock, extensions or desktop view.

I have to say Firefox (and forks) for Android is several levels inferior to chrome (forks). Just slower and consumes way more battery - and does not even have the customizability of alternatives.

How is this a reason for anything? Feudal lords provided 100% of paid jobs at the time, yet this was not a reason to keep that system.

Rather primitive article. TLDR: dev got into an open source project, "received nothing", was fed up with user complaints, and left => open source is fundamentally broken, "most maintainers never see a dime for their efforts"!

Dear author, look up how the OS landscape works, have more realistic expectations, and maybe a better work-life balance.

The 400 nits mainly (looked dim in the presentation even), no high refresh rate, 1440p would have been nice. Unrealted but also only Intel options in 2025?

I wisth the 12" wouldn't have a garbage screen - although I'm hopeful for more options later on. This format would be equally if not more useful for gaming/business use case, I wonder why they start at the entry level.

Only because of Samsung's VR headsets, it was ridiculous and useless otherwise.

I never got this. Software is stored, bytes are a physicality, just more easily distributeable. They even have some measurable weight theoretically, with a similar attributed value like an artwork or book - that is subjective and hard to interpret.

Much better than a false sense of security. Customers know what they get, and can choose other products instead of being confused or cheated.

Pihole being a self-hosted service and this being a third party one, I would say the target group is somewhat different.

I'm tired of people complaining why everything is political. Besides that everything IS political, in this specific example you would decide to give 40k+ dollars and a 6-8 year trust relationship to a guy making nazi salutes.

> only interesting to hardcore tech enthusiasts

I think that the HN crowd is exactly that and I doubt many would want this phone. Foldable phones are just flashy status symbols at this point without much use. I guess the actual target market is affluent people who want to show off, who want to have "something different", and who will not actually use the added screen space.

Better reading software. KOReader is fantastic (also on Kindle, if you jailbreak).

I think the value of Kindles lies in Amazon's ecosystem. Hardware-wise I think most competitors catched up. Kobos especially are great, and have a much more open software platform.

Bad, but anyone sideloading would skip Kindles anyway for a long time now for much better products.

You will get FREE healthcare as in if you need an ambulance ride you won't be charged 10k$

You mean killer drones

Surely this will be the year of WASM!

No longer EU owned though, bought by IBM

Unfortunate naming. When most devs think of "ascii" they think "oh that character encoding you shouldn't use anymore"

Junior devs can also use LLMs thereby making them better than LLMs.

Samsung had this for years and people are generally uninterested. I love the thought to have the _possibility_ of plugging the phone in a USB-C dock and everything works, but honestly, I have done this... like, zero+1 times. For those times I'd need my proper desktop OS, and mobile apps / file handling etc. are just inferior.

This sounds like the "my granddad smoked like a chimney and lived happily to 92" argument.
