austinshea··on Ask HN: Are there any 4K “dumb” televisions?
Very helpful info. Thanks for this.

I often forget to consider stuff like consistent/quality back lighting, but it really does make a difference.

austinshea··on Ask HN: Are there any 4K “dumb” televisions?
This is a very real annoyance for me too.

It takes wayyyyy too long to power/boot up.

That being said, I just hook up my own speakers.

austinshea··on Ask HN: Are there any 4K “dumb” televisions?
I think the trade off is a subsidized price point, and associated specs, and an unsubsidized one.

I’d guess the panels are all pretty common.

This will provide more significant detail: https://www.sceptre.com/TV/4K-UHD-TV-category1category73.htm...

Sceptre is fantastic for this.

e.g. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sceptre-55-Class-4K-UHD-LED-TV-HD...

Zero smart features, and all modern capabilities. It's also a TV, as opposed to a computer monitor, so it has the expected TV speakers and ports.

Yeah, me too :)

Poor translation, but the meaning is obvious:

Either way. Use whichever works best for your target hardware.

austinshea··on Epic launches anti-cheat support for Linux, Mac, and Steam Deck
I doubt it.

Desktop computers haven’t been relevant since 2008ish, and were struggling to maintain relevance after the 4th gen Intel GPU/Power-consumption changes.

Headless servers and consumer electronics are, already, largely using Linux.

austinshea··on Show HN: Lemon – Alternative UI for AWS
Can this be launched internally, such that I am not leaking internal details out to a 3rd party?

I can't imagine adopting this in the companies I've worked for, without that avenue.

austinshea··on Brave Search beta
brave is bad
austinshea··on Apple’s new keyboard feature in iOS 15 is insult to Cantonese speaking community
The worst? The hyperbole undercuts any more subtle point you’re trying to make.
austinshea··on Why Generation X will save the web
This article is not about why Gen X will do anything.

It’s about why Gen Xers think they are well suited to do something that no organized group is planning, or executing, on.

Very self congratulatory, and absolutely no meaningful call to action.

austinshea··on Amazon Fake Reviews Scam Exposed in Data Breach
It’s weird to see you gloss over the only interesting detail in this story, the hard evidence,

and then deep dive into conjecture, and your feelings.

austinshea··on JavaScript for Shell Scripting
Do people actually find this more convenient than bash?

Their own readme isn’t trying to suggest that it’s an improvement, just some sort of convenience.

austinshea··on How to survive a toxic workplace and how to avoid creating one
I hope you have a safe job, now.
austinshea··on Opposition to net neutrality was faked, New York says
This is not accurate, and it feels like it is the only clear detail provided in your post:

Ajit Pai was forced to publicly dismiss comments containing only facts related to the technical details of the Internet, which made it harder for the FCC to defend its decision in court (as they are supposed to consider those technical details).

austinshea··on Please don't upgrade Docker without asking first
This is wildly inappropriate behavior.
austinshea··on Food website that 'fixed' blogger recipes removed after backlash
Rude, and stupid.
austinshea··on Show HN: Cast AI has built a service to cut AWS cloud bill 50% to 90%
This is a truly meaningless point to make, and you made it in the most obnoxious way that I can imagine.
austinshea··on The Air Force is having to reverse engineer parts of its own stealth bomber
What a confident proclamation that is backed up by nothing, aside from your limited perspective.
austinshea··on OpenBSD boots multi-user on Apple M1 hardware
But, presumably, you can understand why it is very appealing to others.

These devices are mass produced, and have long lifespans.

It's a good target for development.

austinshea··on [dead]
I use GeForce Now on a 2011 iMac/2014 Macbook Air.

- I can play games I've already bought on Steam, or GoG. - It runs Cyberpunk 2077 very well. - You can get from your desktop to your game very quickly, and I've never had a situation where there wasn't enough capacity.

Req west? The best.
austinshea··on Tokio 1.0 – async runtime for Rust
This, merely, means that the web application code will hold back what Nginx is capable of serving.

Parallelism is complicated, and it is valuable.
austinshea··on Show HN: After 10 years my side project has hit $8k/mo in revenue
There is a market.

What I said is that there isn't a market which will support the recommendation.

austinshea··on Show HN: After 10 years my side project has hit $8k/mo in revenue
Presuming that there’s a market for this service, which will support your recommendation, is reckless, and ill-informed.

Please, don’t listen to this person.

You’ll lose all of the ground you have gained, in the hopes of attaining something that does not exist.

austinshea··on Microsoft Engineer Proposes “Trampfd” for Improving Linux Security
If he was an ex-Microsoft engineer, or a Microsoft engineer working on his own, I don’t think it would matter.

If Microsoft is using the hours of the engineer’s workday for this purpose, it provides insight that does matter.

austinshea··on Apple Rejects Appeal of Email App That Blasted Store Rules
Do you think something like this might happen?
austinshea··on Average adult will spend 34 years of their life staring at screens
Staring is an embarrassing word for this person to have imposed upon the actual study.

Science journalism is a real problem.
