HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Is Google Search Dying?
A lot of Pinterest results, too. So many I have to use a script to block them to make Google even remotely useful anymore, esp. for image searches.
HardwareLust··on Ask HN: What car do you drive?
2011 Subaru WRX hatchback. Fun to drive (my priority), decent gas mileage, useful cargo space, good resale value, has a large aftermarket and enthusiast community behind it making parts cheap and plentiful. Everything I want in a car that's not a Mazda Miata, which is what I drove the previous two cars I had.
HardwareLust··on Stop people from getting into your iPhone using Face ID while you're asleep
If you're that paranoid, you shouldn't be using Face ID to begin with...
HardwareLust··on Ask HN: What has been the biggest contributor in improving your sleep?
Buying a good mattress. For years I bought cheap mattresses out of misplaced frugality, but my gf talked me into buying a good quality memory foam mattress which cured not only lingering back pain issues, I now sleep like a baby.
HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Which phone do you use?
Galaxy Note 9. And frankly, upgrading from the 8 was a waste of money. I'd still have the 8 knowing what I know now. I'll upgrade if and when my carrier gets 5G, until then it's all the phone I need.

I seriously considered Pixel 5 when it was on sale over the holidays, but thankfully I managed to avoid temptation.

HardwareLust··on Ask HN: What's your ideal tool for collecting ideas or brainstorming?
I'm old school, so I use a paper notebook and a pencil or pen. Just never found anything digital or electronic that's even close being as efficient as a notebook. For collaborating at work, we use whiteboards extensively, to the point where we have literally painted the walls with whiteboard paint and every room has a pile of markers and erasers.
HardwareLust··on Moving banks to Bitcoin would require 7 times the global electricity production
I guess it's time to start building the Dyson Sphere!
HardwareLust··on Anthem Update
I didn't even know they were working on an Anthem sequel.
HardwareLust··on Sony DD-1EX Electronic Book Player
Techmoan did a video on these, pretty interesting:

I wanted one of these so bad back in the day. Never had the cash though unfortunately.

HardwareLust··on School board resigns after making comments not realizing meeting was broadcast
So who's responsible for holding them accountable for their actions normally?
HardwareLust··on School board resigns after making comments not realizing meeting was broadcast
My only question is, why were they even allowed to resign? They should have been instantly fired.
HardwareLust··on Windows 3.0 Buzz
I can still only imagine where we would be today had OS/2 won out and become the standard rather than Windows.
HardwareLust··on Ask HN: Why are e-ink note-taking devices so expensive compared to iPads?
Thanks man! I was thinking about replacing my paper notebook, and that just might be exactly what I needed.
HardwareLust··on Clubhouse, a Tiny Audio Chat App, Breaks Through
Is it still invite only, or have they opened it up finally?
HardwareLust··on AMA Desktop Linux (2007)
Interesting idea (building a distro that emulates Windows for new users). Shame it hasn't been updated in two years though.
