650REDHAIR··on Formlabs Studio 1 $699 Resin Printer
$79 per tank.

Along with some issues with the screen and the non-pro resins.

It’s anti-consumer.

They want to be the HP/Bambu of resin printers.

…progress?
650REDHAIR··on Retired Penn professor arrested for blocking Uber Eats robot
Why are those the only two options in your mind?

Or when, for example, Waymo blocks my ambulance or public transit.
650REDHAIR··on In an $80 motel room, a discovery to shed light on the origins of life
$80/day is a cheap room in most of the US and Canada.

My standards for hotel rooms on road trips are quite low and I will call the crappy motels to avoid the bloated .com booking rates and it’s not very often I find even 1 star hotels under $80/day after taxes.

650REDHAIR··on Civic Hygiene – avoid building technologies that could be used by a police state (2013)
Where has my “freedom” been protected in the last ~40 years?
650REDHAIR··on Show HN: iPhone app takes simultaneous images from 2 lenses, fuses into 1 photo
Why do i need a subscription for a camera app?
650REDHAIR··on For most US drivers, EVs offer emissions benefits and cost savings
What road trips are you taking frequently enough that an EV just won’t work?
650REDHAIR··on Roblox Officially Supports GrapheneOS
I guess that makes sense given the type of adults that prowl on Roblox.
650REDHAIR··on Buried Apple feature turns an iPhone into the perfect kids' dumb phone
It’s great, but there’s really no way that I’ve figured out for granular control. So it’ll just auto-answer everyone.

I forgot to turn it off and it auto-answered an AI spam bot and apparently they had a 10m conversation with my TV yesterday.

650REDHAIR··on Buried Apple feature turns an iPhone into the perfect kids' dumb phone
Eye tracking is not something I’ve considered! Neat!
650REDHAIR··on Buried Apple feature turns an iPhone into the perfect kids' dumb phone
I use the back tap feature for shortcuts and have my iPad auto-answer FaceTime calls when I’m out so I can check in on the dogs.

Lots of neat features hiding beneath the surface!

650REDHAIR··on Europe's company websites are mostly served by US vendors
Are you suggesting Trump is “trolling” Greenland?

And admittedly I didn’t realize Taiwan was in Europe. Sorry.

650REDHAIR··on Europe's company websites are mostly served by US vendors
I don’t remember the last time China threatened to invade Denmark?

I do remember the last time the USA did. It was hours ago at a NATO summit.

650REDHAIR··on Google Books (or similar) all book scans – $200k bounty (2025)
How did you come to that conclusion?
650REDHAIR··on Show HN: Searchable directory of 22k+ products from worker-owned co-ops
This is awesome- thank you!
650REDHAIR··on In San Francisco, even $180k tech salaries are no longer enough
I don’t think it’s that simple at all.

I see plenty of vacancies around me.

I think we need to build higher density housing and I also think there is some amount of market manipulation happening.

650REDHAIR··on In San Francisco, even $180k tech salaries are no longer enough
Of those some immediate standouts are:

Scam listings.

One that is >$2k a WEEK.

A bunch of listings not actually in SF.

Anecdotally; A friend of a friend just moved into an awful building on Ellis and is paying $1650/month for a small studio. 1br in my building are renting for $3,300+ and I'm not in a particularly desirable neighborhood, a new building, or a rent-controlled building.

So yeah, it feels really true.

Not really sure how rents are skyrocketing when every 3rd person I know in tech has been laid off in the last year.

650REDHAIR··on IP Crawl: Living atlas of open webcams discovered on the public internet
I feel like I’ve read about three letter agencies using the humming of power lines to geo-locate where a video/audio was recorded.

“Electrical Network Frequency (ENF) analysis”.

I’m going to dig more and will leave some links when I get back to a computer.

650REDHAIR··on Om Malik has died
There’s a large group of people who want to help and see you succeed- even if it won’t benefit them directly.

I stepped away nearly a decade ago so I don’t know how true that is for the tech “scene” today, but it was really great and inspiring for a very young transplant like me.

650REDHAIR··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
I mean…

My banks in the US and abroad all require 2fa and some of them are app-based 2fa not just SMS. All traditional banks- no neobanks.

Some government services require apps or the experience is infinitely worse without a smartphone.

Do we need the newest/fastest/best? Probably not, but I don’t see any major mobile OS making software more efficient for older/ lesser hardware and if you try to hold onto your old phone eventually it will be vulnerable to attacks after support for it ends.

It’s gross.

650REDHAIR··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
There are many rumors that the new iPhone 18 Pro will start at ~$1300.

So maybe their mobile hardware will be next.

650REDHAIR··on Polymarket has flooded social media with deceptive videos by paid creators
Was the commenter wrong?

Until you’re flagged for some vague reason and support/fraud can’t help you.
650REDHAIR··on Ask HN: Has anyone replaced Claude/GPT with a local model for daily coding?
It was ~8mo ago.

Not anymore.

650REDHAIR··on Pokémon Go Scans Trained the Navigation Tech for Military Drones
The current drone-heavy theatres.

That could change in an instant.

650REDHAIR··on Building an HTML-first site doubled our users overnight
I got wooshed.

Nice work!

650REDHAIR··on Job: Head of Stonehenge
Yes?
650REDHAIR··on U.S. to Dismantle System Tracking Atlantic Currents That Are at Risk of Collapse
I, for one, only care about increasing shareholder profit.
650REDHAIR··on Microsoft announces Scout, an autonomous AI agent built on OpenClaw
Neat! I have plenty of time to read these Microsoft announcements today because Microsoft 365 exchange online is borked and my emails aren’t going out and teams in browser is jank-city.
