xd1936on Dutch 'idealist' bank ASN blocks non-Google Android, including GrapheneOS

Walt looks great. Though I'm not sure I'd trust my financials to a service that posts "Launch dat shit" as a milestone in their roadmap on their homepage.

xd1936on MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch

"We've done tons of user testing on this, and it turns out, it doesn't work. Touch surfaces don't want to be vertical. It gives great demos. But after a short period of time, you start to fatigue, and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off. It's ergonomically terrible." —Jobs

xd1936on Show HN: Sumi.css – CSS Framework

This site seems very slopped together.

Several of their new components are just classes, defeating the original purpose and contradicting the vision of Pico.

Why are the first one or two letters in headings wrapped in <em>, like the _Bl_ in "Blades"?

Why are they calling their Pico fork "anyblades/pico", when the original Pico author's post says "The Pico CSS name and logo are not covered by the MIT license. Please give your fork its own name, so users don’t confuse it with the original."?

The worst offender: What is going on with this nonsense: https://blades.dev/css/frameworks/

xd1936on Show HN: Sumi.css – CSS Framework

Happy to see this, now that my beloved PicoCSS has been deprecated. Sumi looks really nice!

xd1936on E Ink Kaleido 4

I wish there was a DIY company targeting hobbiests that sold large poster-size eInk panels with tinkering in mind, like TRMNL or InkPlate.

xd1936on Passkeys are not a trap

This sounds like an iOS problem. Bitwarden + Firefox on Linux, or Bitwarden + Android, has never been anything but smooth for me when it comes to saving or using Passkeys.

Continue to write with em dashes. Be the change you wish to see in the world.

xd1936on Apple HomeView

Through the incredible power of Siri AI™, you can now get a "I didn't understand that. Do you want to search the web for 'turn on the kitchen lights'?" response faster than ever before.

Some chonky bezel. Not hard to imagine how gen 2 will look.

xd1936on OpenFatigue™ – Open is the new closed

Excellent. Love that the Github link in the footer goes to a private (or non-existent) repo.

xd1936on Muse Wonder

Is this datacenter-only, or will they be open-sourcing?

xd1936on A Modern Web App in C

Interestingly, Pangram says that exactly the first 50% is AI and the second half is not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

xd1936on Various Projects Find Hidden SDR Capabilities in ESP32 Microcontrollers

Very exciting!

> However, the current prototype uses the FPGA to clock the ESP32, which results in poor phase noise.

Looks like this was solved five days ago:

xd1936on Git 3.0's upcoming SHA-256 default will be a costly mistake

"The migration to the new format is simple; Just re-write everything in the new format, but also keep the old format around forever too since data is lost in the new format!"

xd1936on StreetComplete on iOS is now in public beta

Is TomTom's basemap entirely OpenStreetMap? Or do they add their own proprietary layer of map data on top?

xd1936on Ask HN: What are you reading?

I just finished book 7 of Dungeon Crawler Carl, as well as Enshittification, myself! Funny.

I'm now working my way through "I Am Not A Robot: My Year Using AI To Do (Almost) Everything" by Joanna Stern.

Situation: There are 29,000 competing government websites.

"29,000! Ridiculous! We need to develop one Government website that covers everyone's use cases."

Soon: Situation: There are 29,001 competing government websites.

xd1936on Hijacking the PS5's RTMP stream

My video stream sent to a public streaming audience might be seen by the public in transit!

xd1936on When did Google get so weird?

I mean, I'm in my mid-30s, and "keywording" and "how to use search engines" was taught in my US Midwest public school library/media center.

xd1936on Hister: A private search engine for the pages you visit and the files you keep

I remember this as well. I hadn't noticed it was gone until just now, but you're right.

Edit: Found it. Thanks Claude.

I might buy one of these for remote family tech support. "Hey $relative, plug the remote support box into the USB port of the computer you're having trouble with so I can take a look"

Laughed out loud at the overly cautious Terms of Service that it generated for "Cyanide Blue", the color it made up
