JensenTorpon Finland investigate Google over destruction of 250k trees

Welcome to the new Hacker News, nowhere is safe from the propaganda clowns.

JensenTorpon Finland investigate Google over destruction of 250k trees

The trees were being "destroyed" (harvested) anyway, that is why they were planted. I don't understand why certain types of people are struggling so hard with the facts of this case.

See the previous comments for why it's a mostly fake story designed to make low-information people angry.

JensenTorpon StackOverflow now gets fewer than 1000 questions a month

Reddit is an online mental institution. That's hardly an interesting insight, it just makes me sad when I think how good it used to be, before the events of 2016 broke Redditors brains.

The toxicity (we know best) was there from the start when they refused to let you create a local account and forced OpenID.

JensenTorpon There isn't an easy exploit for this PHP vulnerability

Where are the hacked websites? That is the litmus test. I'm looking around and I see... nothing?

JensenTorpon Returning from vacation? The government can search your phone without a warrant

Surely you understand that making it about "Trump" implies you can fix it by voting, which you can't, because the laws were there under Democrat administrations too.

As soon as you say "Trump man bad" then the underlying discussion that needs to be had is lost.

Interesting, I had not heard of this theory.

JensenTorpon HP re-releases classic computer science calculator: The HP-16C

Originals definitely more expensive than this reissue (which seems reasonably priced). Still, I will always want the original made in USA.

JensenTorpon Cloudflare Turnstile requiring fingerprintable WebGL

I want to point out that Cloudflare Turnstyle is a separate and more strict product than their usual "are you a bot" protection.

I use Cloudflare protection on all my website but only the account creation page uses Turnstyle.

Subscription app in 2026, no thanks.

JensenTorpon Apple patches decade-old iOS zero-day, possibly exploited by commercial spyware

Outrageous that this isn't being patched in iOS 18. Genuinely shocked, and indefensible.

JensenTorpon Apple patches decade-old iOS zero-day, possibly exploited by commercial spyware

iOS 26 is a disaster on devices with 4GB RAM though, so I'm not upgrading my iPhone 13 Mini again (that was a traumatic few days).

No, people are Googling if Cloudflare is down because Reddit is down, and DownDetector is falsely assuming that means Cloudflare is down. A flaw in their methodology.

JensenTorpon Unpowered SSDs slowly lose data

I also need an answer to this.
