not4uffin··on Show HN: Explore what the browser exposes about you
On my iPhone that has iOS 26 installed, the page says my device is on iOS 18.7

Am I missing something? That doesn’t math the way math should math.

not4uffin··on [dead]
Neato. The rich became richer.
not4uffin··on McDonald's is losing its low-income customers
I mean, near me there are a couple of places that sell sometimes even better quality than McDonald’s for lower prices, so McDonald’s loses the competition in the financial convenience factor.
not4uffin··on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash
I guess silicon valley truly makes you tone deaf.
not4uffin··on Walkie Talkie, an open source peer-to-peer iOS communicator
I didn’t know that, thank you for this very useful info!
not4uffin··on Elon Musk on 3 Years of X, OpenAI, Grokipedia, the 'Supersonic Tsunami' of AI
Free speech my ass. Yeah OpenAI is looking dumb, but also they’re riding a money wave at the moment. Good look trying to compete with Wikipedia, he’ll fail. You’re only saying that about solar energy to sell more of your panels, Elon.
not4uffin··on OpenAI is going Meta route, as it considers memory-based ads on ChatGPT
My god, I love how they’re moving further and further away from being an open organization.

At what point will they change their name?

not4uffin··on Why does Swiss cheese have holes?
As a kid, I was told it was due to rats and other critters getting into the cheese.

I’d then proceed to wonder why no adults thought to throw it out, much less eat the stuff.

not4uffin··on The Suppliers Behind the Apple Pencil Pro
I somehow forgot that the Apple Pencil Pro was a real product.

At first, I thought this story was satire/fake.

not4uffin··on CharlotteOS – An Experimental Modern Operating System
I’m very happy I’m seeing more open source kernels being released.

More options (and thus) competition is very healthy.

not4uffin··on Fire TV: Amazon to block piracy apps in the future
This just feels like such an Apple thing to do.

Tell people what they are and are not allowed to install on their device, then use piracy as the reason, when in reality it's simply because Amazon wants control over the device they sold to you.

Also, app store revenue splits.

not4uffin··on No Code
So I'm not crazy to think that this project does nothing. (or at at least very little)
not4uffin··on Chromium Browser DoS Attack via Document.title Exploitation
Think you might be right, while reading through the README, I noticed some common LLM pattern words.

Also, some sections of the README completely read as generated by an LLM.

not4uffin··on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs
I run two partitions: one for gaming (windows) and one for everything else (linux)
not4uffin··on Ventoy: Create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI Files
I’ve apparently already starred the repository.
not4uffin··on Grammarly rebrands to 'Superhuman,' launches a new AI assistant
I don’t like it, but I’m not surprised a writing tool got invaded with LLM features.
not4uffin··on What we talk about when we talk about sideloading
I've stopped trusting Google and it's products entirely.

They say one thing, then do another.

not4uffin··on Samsung makes ads on smart fridges official with upcoming software update
Bound to happen eventually...
not4uffin··on HTTPS by default
I see this as pretty much only a positive thing.
not4uffin··on The AirPods Pro 3 flight problem
And another headline making me not regret my purchase of the AirPods Pro 2 from a couple months ago.
not4uffin··on Why do some radio towers blink?
Figured it was something to do with aircraft communications.

I live near an airfield and the runway has flashing white lights at night to help guide the aircraft's.
