HardwareLust··on Former Google Exec Frets That AI Researchers Are “Creating God”
Considering how bad humanity has fucked up both society and the earth, I welcome our new AI overlords.

In the end, we will get exactly what we deserve.

HardwareLust··on Will the “Social Media Bad” trend die out like the “Video Games Violent” trend?
I hope not, because it's true. Social media is awful and a cancer on our society.

That's really cool! I had no idea Wikipedia had themes.

Note this is not yet peer reviewed, so YMMV.
HardwareLust··on Olympics Are Turning into a $20B Bust for Japan
Toyota made a point of saying they're not running ads in Japan, but they're sure running them here. I was watching softball stream on NBCSN last night and there was two Toyota Olympics ads on the page running over and over again all night.
HardwareLust··on Show HN: No-3rd-party – A list of sites which do not load any 3rd party content
You say these sites don't load "obtrusive" 3rd-party content.

What is your definition of obtrusive?

HardwareLust··on [dead]
"Save" us from what exactly?
HardwareLust··on Faxes Still “Big in Japan”
My boss, who is in his 60's, still insists on having his AIO printer hooked up to a copper phone line (!) so that we can receive or send a fax "just in case" lol. He still gets spam faxes on occasion, but we're never had to use it in the 4 years I've been here and counting.
HardwareLust··on Junk food review site active since 2004
I've been reading their reviews for what seems like a long time, but I never realized it was that long lol. That's pretty impressive.

HardwareLust··on Notepad++ drops Bing after “tank man” censorship
They should allow us to choose. I'm not jazzed about Notepad++ deciding for me which search engines I'm "allowed" to use.

Maybe it's time to switch to Atom instead. At least there it's my choice.

HardwareLust··on Apple asks staff to return to office 3 days a week starting in early September
That's one reason why I left Seattle. I was commuting 4 days/week, with a 1hr 15min commute in both directions, so I was spending 21.66 days a year in the car. Why so long? Affordable housing, of course.

I took a small pay cut, moved the east coast and now spend 24 minutes a day commuting, which is infinitely better.

Gee, almost like they were a pointless fad. Which they are.
HardwareLust··on Amazon devices will soon automatically share your Internet with neighbors
Except I don't have any Amazon devices, and I won't ever be buying any. No way I'm exposing myself to that kind of liability by "sharing" my internet with complete strangers.

They can't keep counterfeit items and scams out of their store, what makes you think they can manage who your internet is shared with?

HardwareLust··on Google tests an RSS follow feature in Chrome
Still to this day have not found a better alternative. I've convinced myself to use Inoreader, but GR was the best I've used, ever.

It's a great idea and I'd love to have one, but $2k+ is just way out of my league financially.
