HardwareLust··on Twitter suspends account that monitored Elon Musk’s jet; owner’s account banned
There's a lot of people still making that mistake.
HardwareLust··on Google once again postpones Chrome extension overhaul
They're still maintaining this charade that it's for "stability" and "security"? What a crock of shit.
HardwareLust··on What to Do When a Direct Report Is Bullying You
You need to grow some balls, tell them to do what they're told (and paid for), or they're fired.

It really is that simple. You're the boss, act like it. They're not your friends, they're your employees. Make it clear from the beginning what is expected of them, and then have the balls to follow through if they fail to meet your expectations. It's literally your job to manage them, so do it. If someone on your team isn't contributing, get rid of them.

HardwareLust··on Show HN: Trading cards made with e-ink displays
That is a really cool idea! I really want to see what kind of new games that can be created from this.
HardwareLust··on Show HN: A minimal notepad – without the cloud or 3rd party libs
That's pretty neat!
HardwareLust··on Show HN: Barbell – A subtle news ticker in the menu bar
I have another suggestion I just thought of.

When you click the ticker, the drop down menu shows you the last 4 stories. It would be nice if you could show a few more than 4, maybe make that a preference. I'd like that to be a lot longer.

Other than that, been using it the last 3 days, and I really like it so far!

HardwareLust··on Who wants to live to 100 on a diet of lentil and broccoli slurry?
Not me.
HardwareLust··on Show HN: Barbell – A subtle news ticker in the menu bar
Sounds like a great idea. Lemme know if you need a beta tester!
HardwareLust··on Show HN: Barbell – A subtle news ticker in the menu bar
I'm digging it so far!

Is there a way to adjust the text color?

HardwareLust··on Show HN: Barbell – A subtle news ticker in the menu bar
Neat idea! Gonna try it out as soon as I get home.
HardwareLust··on Microsoft is phoning home the content of PowerPoint slides
Yes, you consented to this when you clicked through the TOS without reading it.
HardwareLust··on Apple Issues Takedown Order for Popular YT Channel That Archived WWDC Keynotes
That's OK. They stopped being interesting when Steve died and Tim turned the company over to the bean counters anyway.
HardwareLust··on Past eight years warmest on record
I anticipated all of those lol. Just sharing my anecdotal experience.
HardwareLust··on Past eight years warmest on record
Not to mention, it's Nov. 6th and I just turned my AC back on yesterday because it was almost 80 outside.
HardwareLust··on Why Elon Musk's Twitter deal matters for everyone
It matters in the sense I'm going to delete my Twitter account and will no longer be using it. I didn't use it much though, so it's not like it's a great loss.
HardwareLust··on Study: Mealworm Pizza “Not as Terrible as Consumers Thought”
A study that was bought and paid for by the people that marketed and sold mealworm pizza. Yeah, totally not biased in any way.
HardwareLust··on American Airlines: Our customers aren’t buying international first class tickets
Why should they? Your planes, service and food are absolute shit compared to overseas Carriers like Emirates. You treat everyone like garbage, and nobody wants that.
HardwareLust··on North Paw
That is a fascinating project. We were just having a discussion about this last week, how some people seem to know intuitively what direction is which, and then there's me, where I have no freaking idea what direction I'm facing unless I have a watch and can see the sun lol.
HardwareLust··on Ask HN: What's wrong with working on two remote jobs if you can perform?
As long as you're on the up about it, there's nothing wrong with having two jobs, at all.

A lot of this noise is from people that don't believe you can do two jobs remotely satisfactorily, and from people in management that don't like the idea they don't own you body and soul.

HardwareLust··on Show HN: Walnut TV – Watch curated top videos on Web3 daily
Curated by whom exactly?
HardwareLust··on Show HN: Doge.hair – Elon's dream – Decentralized social network on Dogecoin
And the point of this is...?
HardwareLust··on Digital license plates approved for all vehicles in California
What a nothingburger of an idea. What possible point is there to this? Add more distractions to already distracted drivers?

I wonder how much Reviver spent buying the votes to get this passed. I hope it was worth it.

HardwareLust··on The EU wants to put companies on the hook for harmful AI
>The AI Act would require extra checks

Extra "checks" by whom, and what are they "checking" for? There's a lot of hand-waving in this.

HardwareLust··on Dogs can smell when we're stressed
So can cats!
HardwareLust··on Can You Ditch Your Car for an E-Bike? Maybe
Definitely could do it at least 8-9 months out of the year. The rest of the time snow and ice would make it dangerous or impossible to ride a bike. Thankfully I can get to/from work and local shops without using a freeway, so that makes it easier.
HardwareLust··on YouTube’s ‘dislike’ barely works according to new study on recommendations
YouTube doesn't seem to understand my preferences, at all. It's far, far too biased toward what you recently watched. It basically doesn't work and certainly doesn't "learn" anything.
HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Do you still buy physical tech books like “Learn Rust” or “Learn Go”?
All of my pleasure reading has been ebooks for years now, but I will prefer paper books for actually learning things. I like being able to highlight, underline, etc.
HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Why is Spotify playing so many covers?
Just curious, but if you "jumped ship", where would you go? I'm also about at the end of my rope with Spotify and the others I've tried, like to the point where I'm about ready to switch back to ripping CD's and putting tracks on my phone or an Ipod but I would sorely miss the recommendation algorithm, even as bad as it is.

What other streaming service is even comparable?

HardwareLust··on The free YouTube tier is about to become unbearable with even more ads
Just the cost of the service. If SponsorBlock actually works and makes YouTube useable again, I'm willing to relinquish a little bit of personal data for that.

You're going to end up paying, one way or another.

HardwareLust··on The free YouTube tier is about to become unbearable with even more ads
It's only bearable now with an adblocker. We're way past the point of unbearable.
