42droids··on DeepL Voice: Real-time voice translations for global collaboration
Have a short introduction session before the live translation where each speaker says a couple of words like “hi, I am John” These then can be used to pick up on the current speaker.
42droids··on Why today's phones are so boooooring?
Aren’t they just optimised for screen size/display? Eg. before design sold the phone, now image quality and camera quality.

I am ignorant, how would one use these lists?
42droids··on Ask HN: Digital Nomad Guide for International Phone Numbers
May I ask which service do you use? Could you share more info about your setup?
42droids··on Ask HN: Booking.com terminated our account. Can anybody help?
You mean there is no customer service...

We use them as a hotel booking affiliate. What other services are there that we could possibly use? There aren't really any alternatives. The other businesses are the same.

Updated the title, so nobody gets confused... :)
42droids··on Ask HN: Favorite Purchases of 2022?
This fabric shaver [0] was an absolute life shaver (sorry for the pun). I have many jumpers that looked really ugly and now have a new life. My wife also uses it for her jumpers. Take it everywhere we go.

42droids··on Ask HN: How to move away from Google
Maybe someone can give me an idea: I have about 3TB+ images I need access to online (eg. easy, automated upload from iPhone, access and search when I am looking for an image (Google Photos style)) alongside secure backup. What's my best option that's also reasonable priced?
42droids··on Godot Signals In-Depth Guide
Great article, Adrian, thank you for sharing. Would you say, you can replace state machines with signals completely?

Does anyone know when these shares will be available for us mere mortals? Thanks
42droids··on Ask HN: What’s the best way to help people in Afghanistan?
UK here, not American. My government is not less invested in this war sadly.
42droids··on Ask HN: What’s the best way to help people in Afghanistan?
No argument there. It is just that I ‘arrived’ now to the scene so I wanted to know what I can help. I thought I enquire here, maybe someone has a good idea.
42droids··on Ask HN: What’s the best way to help people in Afghanistan?
Why them? I suppose why not. I am in the position right now to help. I wasn’t before. This is the current crisis so I thought I try and educate myself to see what can be done. Indeed the world has a lot of problems. If I can help solve just a tiny fraction of the issues, that’s great.

42droids··on Stuffing an SSD Inside the Raspberry Pi 400
Did anybody ever recreate the C64 look with a Raspberry Pi inside the original case?

Looks great but how much? No prices anywhere.
42droids··on Humanity Has Flipped the Amazon Forest from Carbon Sink to Source
"Not all men" Surely, the actions of a "small group" of people won't affect the global climate. Let's be realistic here. Also, feel free to downvote if you feel personally attacked.
42droids··on Soviet Venus Images (2004)
Absolutely fascinating. The technology that already existed in the 60’s and 70’s is mind boggling. Also, there is something really exciting about looking at pictures of an alien planet. :)
42droids··on Stripe Tax
That's what I call good customer service. :)
42droids··on MUM: A new AI milestone for understanding information
When the content people create is pushed aside and instead used by a giant corp. without any payment, it is safe to assume that people will stop writing content.
42droids··on MUM: A new AI milestone for understanding information
"Since MUM can surface insights based on its deep knowledge of the world" Which just means taken from the millions of websites written by humans and used without permission or any payment.
42droids··on Art students learn to critique the work of others. Engineers don't, and it shows
Oh I always wanted feedback about my work (code) as a software engineer (good or bad) but never really got any.
42droids··on Show HN: A web app to make a simple gallery to promote your art
Curious, is this something people need? I like this idea a lot. I assume in the age of Instagram, you might want your own "space"?
