The real lesson here is how unbelievably inept the hacker news audience seems to be with any practical task. The idea someone would spend hours assembling any piece of Ikea furniture is absurd. Anything on this list can be build in minutes. I did so even as an inexperienced teenager myself with no help. If it takes you 10 hours to assemble a wardrobe you should have a disability badge.

windows update is a well known malware vector, how does this warrant any news? if you absolutely have to use windows, you either go through the effort of stripping the particular version you chose from all the spyware and malware it comes packaged with and gut the malware loader paths out of it, or you accept that you're running a botnet node you have little to no control over.

When i opened the website, my screen turned bright yellow despite my darkreader extension. If your website is bright by default and doesn't work with some very basic dark mode extension, i won't bother checking it unless it's super important to me. Make websites dark by default if you're not able to make a clean website that can be manipulated by the user to their basic requirements.

The entire "scientific" field of nutrition has gone down a wrong path a couple decades ago, and the FDA specifically with their recommendations to eat a lot of carbs has done the public a great disservice.

Outsiders of the field have slowly started to figure out where nutrition went wrong, but since entities like the FDA have spread missinformation for decades, there is a lot of inertia to overcome, which will sadly take another couple decades apparently. Best examples i can remember ad hoc are probably Gary Taubes and Robert Lustig.

It's pretty clear by now that the obsession with eating carbs is actively harmful and likely the cause for the diabetes and obesity epidemic. The obsession with polyunsaturated plant fats is next, they oxidize rapidly, even inside our bodies, and cause great damage.

The issue for nutritionists is one of credibility, how does a scientific field collectively turn on a dime and proclaim literally the opposite of what they have claimed in the decades prior?

I have never seen or heard of a "web agency" doing anything for a reasonable amount of money or in a reasonable timeframe. The whole business idea behind a web agency seems to be scamming customers out of the maximum possible amount of money. I would never even consider hiring one. For something like this you hire a solo freelancer. Fraction of the money, done way quicker, and you don't end up paying the gigantic overhead of the agency.

The issue with CNC machines is that one error in your code can and will easily crash one part of the machine into another part of the machine and thus break it. Often requiring a technician from the company and a bunch of spare parts to fix it, which, trust me, is never cheap. So giving a CNC machine to just anyone without proper training is quite a bad idea.
