Not what this website is for.
SteeCee··on Apple AirPod Pro 2s can now work as hearing aids
How is the ergonomic difference? IIRC a lot of hearing aids are custom shaped for comfort, right? Will having buds in all day be an issue?
SteeCee··on Online dating apps struggle as people swear off swiping
I've been a big fan of IRL singles events in my area recently. Speed dating and mixers are great ways to meet quality people who are in the same boat as you. I highly recommend them!
SteeCee··on Harvard's Largest Faculty Division Will No Longer Require Diversity Statements
What do you mean by diversity being freedom? What, in your opinion, would be the correct form of diversity requirements for an organization?
SteeCee··on Google releases smart watch for kids
What is a military style firearm in this context? Because of the NFA, Americans already cannot own pretty much any fully automatic weapon the military employs.
SteeCee··on Google releases smart watch for kids
Why should law-abiding citizens have to give up their right to defend themselves because criminals commit crimes?
SteeCee··on Joplin is an open source note-taking app
Obsidian has a built in sync feature if you pay for it. https://obsidian.md/sync
SteeCee··on Anthony Fauci Fesses Up
I struggle so hard to follow anything about COVID. I basically just lived my everyday life, and wore masks and got vaccinated when it was required in my life. Is there a good reading (or someone want to provide an explanation) that's a true neutral look at who was lying and who wasn't about COVID and the protocols that followed?
SteeCee··on Brave appears to install VPN Services without user consent
Care to share the best options? I'm interested.
SteeCee··on Please don't say just hello in chat
Saying hello and then your inquiry is what every example in the website says is the right thing to do. Who is saying you shouldn't say hello at all?
SteeCee··on The Evolution of Motorola Phones
Little weird that, for such a simple article, they completely cut out phones between the Droid and new Razr. I thought the Moto X was iconic. Being able to customize it and buy it online was pretty big at the time.
SteeCee··on Ask HN: How many of you prefer to use Ethernet?
I've found using Ethernet prevents lag spikes during video calls and in general makes download speeds more reliable.

Off the job I play a lot of fighting games which use peer to peer connections. Without Ethernet those games are borderline unplayable.

SteeCee··on Telegram CEO accuses Apple of crushing entrepreneurs
Is it not an open market? You don't have to buy an iPhone...
SteeCee··on Factorio Is the Best Technical Interview We Have (2021)
I have no stake in either side of this but I would love to hear you elaborate on this. What makes you more interested in a person that markets themselves behind something that isn't your real face?
SteeCee··on uBlock Origin Lite: Description
If you've ever seen how topics are treated in a Wikipedia discussion thread you'd feel like the whole website has zero credibility. There's a reason academics don't let you use it.
SteeCee··on Good news: Twitter fell over. Bad news: It's working again
Why do we have to tolerate Twitter? It's a poor concept of a website that only encourages short opinions that can't be elaborated on. If I want to know what other people are up to I can always check their LinkedIn or the website of a company. I just don't understand what I will gain from "learning how to use" a feed of people tweeting into the void for attention. Sorry if I seem shortsighted.
