drcongo··on Mac Studio M5 Ultra 512GB Officially Released
They're not. It was a bit of spurious guesswork by Mark Gurman, and we all know how those guesses end up.
drcongo··on MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch
Why would anyone touch their screen? Madness.

Please turn over?
drcongo··on Stalwart v1.0: The Fastest Mail Server on the Planet
Have you had any issues with deliverability? Whenever I consider self-hosting email I think about the number of comments I've seen on HN saying don't.
drcongo··on Serbia's Vucic concedes election defeat in historic win for student movement
Putin told them to say so.

You're a good person with good intentions. Hope you get some rest sir.
drcongo··on Quad9 to exit France
This comment made my day, beautiful.
drcongo··on [dead]
Sadly not. There were an awful lot of credulous comments in the threads on here.
drcongo··on Patch the Planet
More like an advert really.
drcongo··on Alibaba hikes DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 output prices by 230%
Does "loss leader" mean something different here?
drcongo··on Delta’s Biscoff cookies were supposed to be temporary
A lot of people in the replies here unable to conceive of buying some from a shop and then taking them on the flight themselves, therefore bypassing the need to prioritise Delta. Unbelievable.
drcongo··on I designed a nose guard for my dog and gave it away. Now 500 dogs wear one
I find it so much more annoying when it's on something that should be genuinely interesting - I just can't read this even though I do actually want to.
drcongo··on Delta’s Biscoff cookies were supposed to be temporary
You can just buy some from a shop.
drcongo··on Siri is so bad at everything
"Hey Siri, continue playing my audiobook" used to work, now it starts a random book from my library, even ones I've already listened to. "Hey Siri, play" used to continue playing whatever was last playing, now it starts random songs on Apple Music. Those are the only two things I use Siri for apart from controlling lights.
drcongo··on New Apple TV 4K
Thanks, I'll try again!
drcongo··on Apple: Switch to Safari (From Chrome)
Wipr 2 and AdGuard for me, never see an ad.
drcongo··on New Apple TV 4K
I have full size HomePods beside the living room TV, and the one in my studio, and I've never been able to get this feature to work.
drcongo··on Apple HomeView
If only the Home app wasn't complete shit.

The success of the Fiat 500 and new Mini renders the GP comment completely moot.

He knows they're coming for him.
drcongo··on Anger as man sentenced to death for Facebook comment
Tomato tomato.
drcongo··on I gave Opus 5.5 one prompt and six hours to visualize Invisible Cities
Don't worry about opening the GPT-6 Astra one though, those ones are so bad that your brain will immediately expunge them.
drcongo··on Adobe Creative Suite Cleanroom Port to Rust
The speed that the Premier clone launches is mad.
drcongo··on Photopea creator weighs in on Photosuite project
These are absurdly fast compared to the molasses originals.
drcongo··on All I wanted was a custom domain email
And doesn't work in Apple Mail. Why are all the replies in this thread recommending things that don't meet the criteria in the article?
drcongo··on All I wanted was a custom domain email
It doesn't meet the criteria in the post. Obviously.
drcongo··on We want you to build the next Git platform on Cloudflare
I think this might actually be the first time I've understood that intention. Fully in agreement with your earlier comment that it was a total turd of a product - I remember a group of friends all getting access, playing with it for about 30 minutes, and then just coming away thinking what an awful experience it was, never to return. None of us were thinking of it as even vaguely email related, it basically felt like forums but worse. Or messaging but worse.
drcongo··on GitHub's new dashboard experience now the default
Funnily enough, the first thing I did when I logged in and saw it this morning was remove the agents nonsense with an AdGuard rule.
drcongo··on DeepSeek Harness Desktop for macOS and Windows
No! ~/Library/ is for rubes! Everything should go in ~/.config/
drcongo··on StreetComplete on iOS is now in public beta
I tried the TomTom app (on iOS) recently but found it incredibly buggy, especially when connected to CarPlay. The speed indicator would often just show 1mph, the dark mode would work about 20% of the time, and searches would show results from other countries ahead of a place 4 miles up the road.
