the ironic thing with Teams is that the one thing on the label - managing teams- is AWFUL. I'm sure company culture comes into this, but for an app that sells itself on the idea that it makes little teams for people to join, it's awful at letting you manage the teams. i'm a member of like 80 some odd teams and maybe 3 of them give updates. All the rest are silent.

it's a disaster. it's fine for voice/video calls, but it's slow and not fun to use in the app on my dev machine (i7/32GB RAM)

I did this last summer with my iPod classic. Fun writeup, great way to revive old tech and reclaim media ownership.

If you have the iPod already, it's a great afternoon project and not too expensive to do.

This is entirely on the author. Sure these vendors make awful products and poorly maintain them - but nobody is forcing anyone to buy them or integrate them into their house. I have yet to hear, or especially see, these devices make anybody’s life easier than doing the task manually.

I never think about light in my home, I flip the switch if I need it - lights seem like such a chore to my friends who have to issue commands to a speaker and that’s one of the few things this tech is supposed to be good at

Good technology gets out of the way and let’s the user do or be or experience something. This is the opposite

I think most of the world is like this. New equipment means big CapEx asks. A lot of manufacturing runs on an old XP machine held together by ebay parts and duct tape

Same. With a full OS. Chromebooks don’t cut it for me

Anybody know why the account was deleted. Did the poster fear for copyright violations?

WSJ posted an article with some more detail.

TLDR; high tide and dredging

I think that’s my answer. I like good guys/bad guys. There’s enough grey areas and anti heroes in real life. I want simpler fiction

Are the Culture the good guys or the bad guys? I read Consider Phlebas first and felt such a whiplash moving into Player of Games or whatever the next one was. I want to like that series but I just can’t figure out if I’m rooting for bad guys or not.

It is kinda funny how we’re going back to a kind of mainframe/terminal model with the way everything works now

It’s got a good Rendezvous with Rama vibe to it. Y’all know of any other sci-fi stories in this vein?

This was super encouraging to read. Thanks for sharing your experiences

Why is HN so anti crypto?

Blockchain/distributed databases seem like really cool tech with some valuable real world applications outside of just coins and stonks but I feel like we never get into that here.

Or is this just a vocal minority thing?

Is that 6 months up yet? I forgot to put that date into my calendar

There’s an Air Force base in New Mexico. Could totally be something from there. Or aliens I don’t know

I think it’s middle-out compression

You mean a saiyan scouter? https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Scouter

Always wanted one. So bad. I don't think our tech is there, we still can't accurately measure someone's power levels. But one day, our grandchildren will and it will be beautiful

But your real estate doesn’t change, you just redecorate your 1-room apartment each time you want to do something different
