Call me when it can boot into macOS and they all have some standard docking
koksik202··on Broken promises, confiscated land: the hyperscale AI datacentre being built
if you look at the map of data-centers in Ireland (Dublin) all of them landed in disadvantaged areas - where people been given false promises or not considered at all - those of lower status can be shoved over while those places get green light to being built
koksik202··on Repair Cafe – Fix Your Broken Items
Would love the idea in Ireland as we are flooded with vape selling and repair shops on every street. Fixed Dyson v11 twice now and I wish there was a place I could come to get someone with experience to help I broke PSP in attempt to fix it and had to rely on repair shop for broken button on steam deck
koksik202··on Apple has locked my Apple ID, and I have no recourse. A plea for help
if you pay for service you should receive some guarantees it is your money, it is crazy that there is no cool-off period where you get banned like this even by mistake or by Apple deciding they do not want to offer a service anymore and allow you to take out your stuff before fully shutting down.

koksik202··on McDonald's posts biggest US sales drop since 2020
They switched from having grills and some sort of food preparation to pulling stuff from plastic drawers the cooks don’t anymore cook anything they just pull in the food into reheat oven stale cold food goes in stale hot food comes out. It lost all the taste, you can go to Burger King and get a taste of the grilled patties

koksik202··on BYD EV teardown in Japan reveals secrets to its affordability
The reason we went with 4y old leaf and not brand new e-up was that it looked like a coffin made out of matchbox. Compared to leaf which is still simple and conventional but has much more space to absorb impact and full of safety features.
koksik202··on Apple introduces M4 chip
Give me Mac OS bootup on iPad and I am in

Don’t get the hype of the performance and being locked to iPad ecosystem

koksik202··on Toyota Patented an EV Manual Transmission That Stalls, so It Feels Real
I think they have it figured out and they are just stalling the introduction not because they lack technology but they still own a lot of stake in conventional solutions, they will probably peel away a line of cars soon for western markets that are EV and reduce sales of Corollas/Yaris with petrol engines but they will continue providing pickups/suvs for other markets. It is just they cannot slot a line of EV on top of all of the existing models and variants as they can still reap the reward of the investment they made for conventional cars. They would spread themselves too thin with a line of EVs on top of current portfolio

koksik202··on My smart home almost saved my vacation
This shows how bad we are at wasting resources running AC smart appliances things even when we are not home, I remember going on holiday and parents switching entire house off - electricity, gas, water. We would plan to eat stuff from fridge and freezer and whatever was left give it to relatives. When we came back after a week or two we had spotless freezer ready to go for another year till we do the same thing next summer. We weren’t around there was no waste of running appliances. First world problems like this just make you realize those aren’t real problems
koksik202··on How Does a TLS Handshake Work?
"by facilitating facilitates" was it just me or does this article reads really badly when it comes to grammar? Feels more like a tech snippet than tech article. It looks like bunch of details thrown together to just generate content.

koksik202··on Wizz Air now charging some travellers a strange extra fee (2020)
I remember using vpn for wizz air bookings as flight I looked at increased 40euro with second search, then I cleared caches and switched vpn on, sure enough same flight didn’t have 40euro increase anymore. This was around 2011-2012 haven’t used them since then.

koksik202··on Toyota RAV4 Prime hybrid SUV now selling for 48% over MSRP
The PHEV in Ireland was €52k when it released in Jan 2022, I ordered it 5 months in advance seems like this model was way cheaper in US and now reaches same price as in Europe?
koksik202··on I'm quitting my PhD
The opening line about not having prior exposure before PhD is something that makes me wonder if author did have industry experience prior to this undertaking, there are application and network security hands-on problems that can be solved with quantum computing. I have zero practical experience with quantum computing myself but I can count at least 2-3 practical projects I could work on before starting PhD in that field. I wonder if the problem here is author going after PhD in the field without having an idea of what problem author can solve by using quantum computing experiments/projects. (instead of finding solution to problem, looking for problems and having time to experiment/research solutions.)

koksik202··on Ask HN: Have you found something you love to do? If yes how?
For me it is whatever keeps me excited I went from ops to engineering to automation to data analytics and learning data analytics as I do my job. I take advantage of internal transfers and I am open about what my areas of improvement are when it comes to tech knowledge it didn’t stop managers from hiring me. Be honest with what you can and can’t do and don’t be scared to try new things and take opportunities within your own organization (much easier to go back to your previous responsibilities if things don’t workout)
koksik202··on 25-Dec. Shout-out to everyone else at work
I remember oncall during Christmas for cloud provider almost no pages all day, easy money
koksik202··on Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes (2013)
Being a father of two and seeing how much money and decisions goes into buying baby stuff and thinking how struggling family might find it inaccessible it makes me cry to read “give all children in Finland, no matter what background they're from, an equal start in life.” Other countries give welfare benefits in form of money but that can be spent on things like addictions, in this case giving the set of necessary care items is much better
