why dont any of the modern browsers open and load pages instantaneously anymore, why does it take seconds?

Right click > Inspect. Go to the "network" tab, reload the page. Maybe do the same on the "performance" tab.

My issues with Pis and SD cards ended when I switched to using SSDs as boot drive.

It's the animations. They're really slow on iOS, at least compared to Android with them at 0.5x (or disabled).

This is really noticeable on more recent Chinese devices. Not only we have a +90Hz display, but I believe there's a focus on animation speed because some reviewers over there test how fast it is to open and switch apps. So we end up with something that is smooth and also feels fast.

I usually don't get attached to brands, but this makes me sad.

I bought the OnePlus One in 2015 after Apple killed my iPhone 5's performance and I was told to just buy a new iPhone (this was before they were sued and added a setting to control throttling on "old" batteries). The phone was fast, had more storage than the iPhone, better camera, no bloat (it ran Cyanogen!), had a notification light, felt nice on the hand (sandstone back), and as a nerd, I loved the amount of Android custom ROMs for it. Liked it so much that at one point everyone at home was using OnePlus Ones.

Also had my disappointments. The OnePlus 2 kept overheating (mainly due to the terrible Snapdragon 810), the camera on the OnePlus 3 wasn't as good as their social media posts made me believe, the slow/lack of software updates, etc, but they were cheap devices.

My last OnePlus was the 8 Pro. By the time I gave it away, it was no longer the same old OnePlus. OxygenOS was replaced by ColorOS (even if they kept the old name), which I never really liked, and prices kept increasing even though some of the weaknesses were still there, etc. It was time to move on.

Still have an old OnePlus One "bacon". No longer use it, but during the Covid years I wiped it and installed LineageOS (currently runs LOS 18.1/Android 11 from August 2023). The battery is bad and the display has some discolouration around the edges, but still runs:

Btw they (respectively, only one guy, Konstantin!) copy code / changesets from Organic Maps, while this is not happening the other way around.

Is anyone breaking any licence here? If not, then I don't understand this complaint.

I believe they're referring to the DNS servers. The closer they are to the user, the faster a DNS resolution happens.

A good provider will have different locations across the world, and users connect to the nearest datacentre. The free DNS some domain registrars offer is, sometimes, hosted at one single location. If the server is in the US and the user is in Europe, you're adding 80-150ms to requests. If they use "anycast" servers, the user could connect to a server 1-20ms away.

The UI of this site is similar to what Claude likes to generate. The fonts and text style, for example, scream of Claude Opus/Fable.

Why not respect the browser/system's theme? No need for settings or javascript:

But in this case, they even say:

"...and it's a PC

Yes, Steam Machine is optimized for gaming, but it's still your PC. Install your own apps, or even another operating system. Who are we to tell you how to use your computer?"

It's not just a gaming console.

You made a claim. I've asked you to back up your claim with a video. You can't.

The reason for this is easy: Merkel, and I'd be willing to bet the others you've mentioned too, haven't done the same as Musk.

You lied, made it up. The thing is, you're not on Twitter/X, people here can also perform 15-second searches and dismiss bs claims just as fast, so please don't do that. Not only makes you look bad, but it's also weird doing it for some random famous person that doesn't even know you exist.

On a side note, I don't know what annoys me more. The sieg hail itself or grown up people not owning up to what they did and lacking the balls to stand by their views.

I don't follow American politics that closely, but here in Europe, I don't remember ever seeing Merkel doing this:

Can you please provide videos of them doing the same gesture?

They forgot to switch from Sonnet to Fable, hence the issues. /jk

And now also a lot of young people. They grew up with iPhones and many think that "Wi-Fi" = "internet".

Keep it simple and light. HTML+CSS first, JS to expand functionality. Don't re-invent the wheel.

This is Trump's second term and MAGA views won't disappear 3 years from now. Even if they assume that there will be a peaceful and lawful transition of power, I can see why they may be planning on the assumption that the "instability" (from their point of view) will continue into the future.

My understanding is that the Airbus equivalent (they don't really have the same thing) uses 3 pitot tubes/angle of attack sensors, not 2. More importantly, Airbus pilots know about the system, while Boeing only told airliners about MCAS after the Lion Air crash.

I'm not a pilot and I don't know that much about planes, but I've read/watched enough about crashes to know that these sensors fail way too often. To rely on only one already sounds like a bad idea, but it's irresponsible not to tell pilots and train them on how to deal with the new "feature".

I think it's fair to call out the parent comment for things that are not exactly caused by Boeing (eg: the engine failure), but I also think it's important to look at the why.

In the case you're referring too, the focus was on poor training and failure to follow up on earlier incidents. It's not the same as designing a system based around a single sensor that is known to fail or forgetting to bolt a door.

It may be easier to convince them if the Internet Archive doesn't allow access for <period of time>. Not good for the average user now, but at least it would be archived for the future. Better than having no archive at all.

Edit: lol -4 , like seriously, its a pretty bad show. [...]

I don't think the downvotes are because you expressed the view that the film is bad.

It's mainstream science fiction using tech we don't have. It will never make a lot of sense. And then you decide to bring skin colour/race into the discussion. What do you expect?

Nice. It would be good if Apple could find the time to improve the readability of the white text on green bubbles too.

edit: it seems that asking Apple to follow their own accessibility guidelines isn't popular on HN :-(

I tried Meshtastic here in London (UK), but was struggling with anything more than 1 hop away. There's no coordination, everyone's using the long fast preset, etc. Then found out about Meshcore, flashed the firmware, selected the UK narrow preset, and it's a day and night difference.

Still wouldn't rely on this for anything serious because it's not reliable at all, but it's nice to be able to send a message across the city or to the other side of the country.

in my experience, most Meshtastic nodes are NOT listed, while a good number of Meshcore nodes are.

I don't know about online tools, but it should be the opposite when actually using it, as by default Meshtastic is much more chatty (and wasteful) than Meshcore.

My understanding is that the split is more superficial than that. The contributor in question (he used to do YouTube videos mainly, no contributions to the firmware) created his own vibe coded app/client and is trying to own the trademark on the Meshcore name. He controls the .co.uk site, the youtube channel, and the discord group. The firmware is still the same, created by the people behind the new .io website.

So the split is just a "the development team has nothing to do with the .co.uk site, his youtube channel and discord group", not a fork.

That post is about the development team "splitting" with the PR guy that is trying to get a trademark on the name and creating their own vibe coded paid client/app.

There's a history between Tastic and Core, but it's a different one. Meshtastic doesn't scale that well in urban areas and it seems that some on the Mestastic team didn't see that problem as a priority/ignored the problem/are too stubborn. And then Meshcore is created with a different routing, works much better in practice, proving that the mesh could be much better. In countries like the UK it seems to have replaced Meshtastic in most places.

Meshcore does up to 64 and I regularly see flood messages with +30 hops. They use a different routing though.

This is wrong.

One guy associated with the project, but never a contributor to the firmware, decided to create his own vibe-coded client/app and to trademark the name of the project. The rest of the team said "no" to that and continued doing what they were doing before.

The reason Meshcore works better for texting is the different routing. It has nothing to do with the recent drama.

I'll keep using uBlock Origin, but I don't see having a built-in content blocker as a bad thing, especially if the lists are the same (easylist, etc). It's no different from the (very old) option to block popups.
