nitin7··on Apple's new 'Switch to Safari' campaign details why you should ditch Chrome
They should increase extension support and improve dev tools! And for UI, they can really take a leaf out of BCNY - Arc browser was good.
nitin7··on Apple's new 'Switch to Safari' campaign details why you should ditch Chrome
Yeah. I'm typing this on my safari which shows both vertical tabs and the horizontal tabs - looks so weird. And I always end up clicking a tab and then typing away, and Safari starts switching me to tabs starting with whatever letter I type - very annoying.

I'd love to have that for video calls. No more trying to find a salt shaker to prop my iPhone / iPad on.

Looks nice. I wonder why Apple is so hung up on clear liquid glass - https://www.apple.com/v/apple-homeview/a/images/overview/hig...
nitin7··on Show HN: Offrun – manage every coding agent from one workspace
This is nice and handy, thank you. Do you plan to add filters?
nitin7··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
How do I report a bug as a user (w/o GitHub)? I’m stuck on an error that I can’t dismiss even if I kill and reopen the app.

“The server encountered an error while trying to respond to your request, producing the status code 403. (URL: https://buseta.wmata.com/onebusaway- api-webapp/api/where/stops-for-location.json)”

nitin7··on Show HN: Snapdrop: Instantly share files between devices. No setup, no signup
I have used localsend. How is snapdrop this different from https://github.com/localsend/localsend?

Have you tried Claude Cowork remote?
nitin7··on iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max
I use a 14 Pro Max and the battery capacity is down to 75%
nitin7··on How I advertise malicious software on Google Ads
Not just Google but many others. A big travel tech company in Asia removed my review of a shack that I once stayed in, since it mentioned things that the business felt were negative.

After all, there are many customers like you and me. If we’re gone, someone else can fill the gap. Not saying I condone it. I dislike it. But I understand.

nitin7··on Singapore subway (mrt) information display types
I may be in the minority here, but I like Clockwise and Anticlockwise. What I do NOT like is the decision to mirror the map, so that the arrows always point in the direction of actual travel of the train. I'm not sure "which side is the train coming from" is that important, compared to "is this map going clockwise or anti clockwise"
nitin7··on Bill Gates Warns A.I. Is More Dangerous Than Big Tech Will Admit
If we put aside the personal scandals and look at the message, the idea of a token tax is interesting. But it shouldn’t be a blanket tax, else SMEs would find it harder to innovate. The larger companies may need to bear more tax.

This might be just a way to work around the ban

Which models when run locally come close to Sol and Opus, from your experience? And which harness do you use?
nitin7··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
Imagine having to go to Start - Programs - Phone, in order to make a call.

I've seen too many situations where upper management somehow pins a situation on someone. They also play a part in layoffs. So, I'm not sure shifting the blame to upper management is happening.
nitin7··on Severance
Sorry that you got laid off, it sucks. Hope you are doing better now!
nitin7··on 98.css
I think the button shouldn't appear if the user doesn't have the access to do it (eg. not an admin, has view rights only, etc).

However, if the user can and they expect to do it, but is in a mode/state which doesn't allow them to do it, greyed out buttons absolutely.

In some cases, greyed out buttons should be clickable (eg. forms) and that should tell the user what is wrong. Looking at you, billion dollar airline, where I couldn't complete my checkin due to this annoyance.

Also, what happened to hover messages and little (?) marks? Every software behaves like it expects me to know what to do from Day 1.

nitin7··on Xiaomi-Robotics-1
In the domain of hardware, what is the equivalent of a harness? How well would this generalise to any robot, versus one that is specifically built the way Xiaomi did?

The video also tells you that there is an uncut video at the bottom of the page. Did you take a look at that?

How is this a beginner friendly format?
nitin7··on Show HN: OpenKnowledge – open source AI-first alternative to Obsidian/Notion
This is interesting and a promising start. I gave this a shot.

I'd love to see support for Bases and obsidian plugins that are typescript/open source anyway - I use a few such as excalidraw/mermaid etc.

I also want to use my local model.

When collaborating on Notion, we had to pop into Google docs for comments, suggestions and history. I see this as important even when working with AI on something.

nitin7··on Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads
How do I see 10 minute videos? I usually get mostly brainless content with the stupid voice or music in it.
