throwawayfour··on Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland
Well if that were to happen, that would be the end of a lot of defense business that the US does with many countries around the world.
throwawayfour··on FBI couldn't get into WaPo reporter's iPhone because Lockdown Mode enabled
Good reminder to also set up something that does this automatically for you:

Getting lots of these CI errors when installing terraform providers: 503 Service Unavailable returned from github.com

throwawayfour··on Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
If they have a working driver since 2 years ago, couldn't they just release it to the community? I imagine most gamers would typically be capable/ok with that.
throwawayfour··on Coinbase says hackers bribed staff to steal customer data, demanding $20M ransom
I wonder what percentage of Coinbase's (but also any other company storing PII data) support is done by AI at this point, and whether they could focus on and invest much more heavily to make that as close as possible to 100%.

throwawayfour··on Open source AI is the path forward
For me it's the Marketplace. Left FB many years ago only to come back to keep an eye out for used Lego for the kiddos. At least in my region, and for my purposes, Marketplace is miles better than any other competing sites/apps.
throwawayfour··on Tell HN: 3G sunsetting is remotely killing every Subaru Outback battery

throwawayfour··on I went to 50 different dentists: almost all gave a different diagnosis (1997)
I am 39 and I have had issues with plaque/tartar build up on my bottom front teeth my whole life. Last year my new-ish hygienist gave me a toothbrush and asked me to show her how I brushed the teeth. She saw I was holding the wrong angle and corrected me. The result - night and day difference. ZERO plaque in the last year.
throwawayfour··on FBI groomed a 16-year-old with “brain development issues” to become a terrorist
It seems like it should be self explanatory why the FBI would ever do such a thing... (and seemingly on a regular basis) but I don't get it. Could someone please ELI5?
