This looks so promising as a lightweight replacement for Bridge or Photo Mechanic and the interface is great.

Has a lot of opportunity on the actual image rendering and performance side, but will definitely keep up with updates on how it evolves!

Batch photo editors already exist, like the long standing and superb Retrobatch. It’s $30-50 as a one time purchase.

Also, oddly, this post highlights “no subscription” about their project but the App Store page shows several subscriptions and that the app actually costs $40 a year?

I will never understand responses like this.

Pleasant and responsive lightweight design, but the game itself just has no difficulty to it.

Tried four puzzles and all were done in 15 seconds.

Sure, but also no.

By that reasoning, you might say there's no such thing as bad art. In most cases, things are designed with the best of intentions and may or may not be successful for their audience.

But a standalone ILC is already a small addressable market so the choices do matter, especially for a company of Sigma's size.

So much love and respect for VLC as robust pioneering open source software, but also in 2024, it feels like extremely antiquated and sluggish on a Mac.

Highly recommend folks check out IINA which is .

While a chargeback is effectively the right move, most large companies have extremely heavy handed responses to it even if it's to correct their error you've made good faith effort to resolve.

As I think someone else mentioned, that would be a no brainer if you had no expectation of every doing business with them again but I wouldn't do that in this case.

Is this an email address harvesting scam?

There is no product here. The website is so generic and devoid of any detail that it can't be real. It's for foodies and costs "pending $".

I just want to know what darth is up to...

I'm sorry. Your company is a knock off of Blinkist with a logo you swiped from Summly?

How will you make a business out of this or support its ongoing development?

Strava has a fairly robust free product and the nominal monthly cost for their premium service seems worth it to those more serious and want the extras. I guess I'm not seeing what you're addressing?

Saving a picture finally downloads it at full resolution rather than a horribly compressed one. Thumbs up.

That seems really unlikely. Doesn't the FCC limit the range at which consumer radio products can transmit from their source? So, part of it is a technological limitation of WiFi, but also legal. And long-distance WiFi already exists, isn't that what WiMax was?

I don't think the telecom companies are going to be displaced very soon because the simplicity of never having to choose a network to connect to is just how people think. Continguous and unibiquitous mobile broadband is probably not on the horizon from someone who isn't a large telecom.

The move to unlocked phones though, I think is spot on.

Textmate is a terrific example.

How have they lost? Sparrow doesn't work any less well than it did before the acquisition. This is not a product that relied on a service that has been shut down. It still has the same utility it did before.

I guess my feeling on it is that I paid for an app on Mac on iOS that works fine, has no showstopping bugs and I have more than gotten my money's worth. Sure, push would have been nice on iOS, but to put it bluntly, the Sparrow team don't owe anybody anything. Esecpailly for Mac users, as it was pretty feature complete as is.

I should have provided some context since this isn't exactly the usual HN subject matter.

Earlier this week, Gap Clothing changed their logo from the old iconic blue box logo to the new one which is essentially another Helvetica wordmark and a box placed in the corner. Mike's post (the main link), which is employing quite a bit of insincerity, assumes you knew about this before hand.

Brand New, a great brand identity blog, has more and a lively discussion about it - http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/dont_min...

Yep, Apple laptops keep the RAM powered up until the battery level dips down to 20%, then it writes the contents to disk when the machine sleeps. It's called Safesleep and you can tweak this if you'd like by using a utility called Smartsleep.

The point of the site is to find out where to purchase a prepaid GSM SIM to use in an existing phone. Not where to buy all new equipment on an unreliable service.

Most of the information in the Boost Mobile section is completely wrong. They run on Motorola's iDEN network primarily although some of their recent phones run on Sprint CDMA. Those CDMA phones do support 3G as part of their Power Vision network. CDMA does not use SIM cards, iDEN does but they are by no means GSM.

So, no. You can't use an iPhone with it.

"However, I think any astute economic analysis of economic systems of the way businesses and economies actually work would very quickly notice that a GPL does some very inorganic things to what are otherwise organic systems. So, from a systemic standpoint, on a systemic level, I disagree with the way the GPL perpetuates economies."

What on earth does that even mean? Also, he's one of the top three most important people by his own admission. Not any of the people who actually write the software that allows him to have a business.

Pretty sure he meant Google, which wouldn't be true either...

Ditto. I've been running a DroboPro with eight 1.5TB WD drives and the device has been running fine connected via iSCSI to a Mac mini and shared across the network via NFS. It's not loud, not silent but not loud. Read/write speeds are perfectly satisfactory, although not what I'd get with a software RAID or higher end setup (I get about 25-45MB/s read/writes, but it sounds like I have a different model than he does).

It is a bit unsettling that Drobo advertises these are completely fool-proof in their marketing materials but support, rightfully I may add, recommends routine backups. In the end, it's a JBOD RAID in a pretty enclosure with approachable software. For me, that works.

All I wanted out of my DroboPro was a way to combine eight drives and have an expandable dual-disk redundancy array. It's working like a champ for that.

This isn't particularly germane or relevant, but this reminded me of that episode of Weeds...

Nancy: The kids go to my sister, Jill. Not to Andy. Ok? Jill. Her number's in my book. Jill Price-Grey with a fucking hyphen.

Lupita: (Writing this down) Fucking hyphen...

I thoroughly enjoyed your reply as it offered useful information while also making the original commenter look silly.

Yep, and Apple licensed the rights to the name.

Verizon's plans and charges are almost dollar for dollar the exact same as AT&T, their global web/email services are actually a bit cheaper. Apple would have no interest in partnering with T-Mobile, heck, their service is worse and spottier than AT&T.

Well, the UK situation involves three GSM carriers. In the United States, the only prominent GSM competitor to AT&T is T-Mobile, and they have no need or intention to get their phone on a budget carrier. With Verizon, they'd have to design different hardware and deal with the fact that EV-DO Rev. A on CDMA is on the way out and LTE is going to be lit up for about 100M subscribers by January 2011.

If that's the kind of statistic that you're going to use, then count iPhones and iPod touches along with that if all we're looking at are devices running a certain OS.
