n2dasun··on Ask HN: Whats the modern day equivalent of 80s computer for kids to explore?
My favorite part of those old computers was sitting with a big book of code and typing things in and seeing a sprite appear, then move, change colors, etc. The closest thing I've seen in recent years was Code Angel, which I supported on kickstarter. It came with a raspberry pi with all the software loaded, along with a monstrous book of code to flip through and type in. Looks like some of the links are dated, but it appears to still be available

n2dasun··on The EU wants to cure your teen’s smartphone addiction
Looks like you're right. I don't remember it occurring this way in late 2021, so I wonder if the implementation changed at all since then, but it could also be poor attention to detail on my part

Didn't know about COPPA's role in this. Thanks for pointing that out
n2dasun··on Ted's Notes on Pawpaws (2016)
This is great to come across. I had an employee bring me some years ago and I instantly became obsessed. I have two cultivars planted in my yard and got my neighbor to allow me to plant another in their yard. I think I'm 2 or 3 years out from getting fruit, but I'm still excited

When your kid turns 13 (or maybe it was 14), Google decides they're an adult now and takes the reins away from you. We just went through this with our teen

n2dasun··on A case for toe socks
I started wearing Injinji toe socks about 13 years ago when I started using vibrams. I rarely wear the vibrams anymore after having a motorcycle accident that left me with less range of motion in one ankle, but I still wear toe socks (of a few different costs and brands now) almost exclusively all these years later. They just feel more natural to me.
n2dasun··on The Quest for a Dumber Phone
I used a Sonim XP5 for about 2 years. My criteria were just that (besides regular phone and text uses) it function as an mp3 player and be able to connect it to my vehicle with Bluetooth. Starting to get the itch to switch to it again.

n2dasun··on Ask HN: I'd like to learn vocals, any suggestion on how I can do this?
I joined a barbershop chorus on a whim 12 years ago, and it was infinitely beneficial. You can generally find a local chapter to rehearse with, everyone is helpful, and you only have to become an official member if you want to compete

I use the Sonim XP5 with Verizon(also available for AT&T). It can be used as a wifi hotspot, has a music player, removable battery, expandable storage, bluetooth (connects to my truck just fine for calls, music and listening to messages. can respond to messages with canned responses). uses a stripped-down version of Android for its OS.
