• Google will expand age checks on Android worldwide till the end of the year

  >Viewing the continuance of our race as only the responsibility of parents is pathological. That seems to be a uniquely American pathology. Everywhere where else in the world, and in non-white American subcultures, the community is expected a hand in raising children. But many Americans consider it socialist and an attack on Christian values. See Hillary Clinton getting mocked for saying "it takes a village"[0] or... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• The Productivity Mirage

  I think the downvotes are for saying positive things about AI. HN doesn't like that ;) And yes, messing about with skills is the new messing around with setup. It's a rabbit hole. I'm a massive, massive, believer in The Cult of Done [0] especially "the point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done". Allowing myself to finish something badly so that I can move on to the next thing was a... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Judge Rejects Google's Attempt to DMCA Its Way Out of Being Scraped

  Why is a "Disable Javascript" option provided in every so-called "modern" browser Why would a user prefer in some cases not to use a third party's Javascript Depends on the user. For example, here's one user who publishes a website on the subject https://disable-javascript.org/ Consider the level of data collection and behavioral surveillance enabled by the SearchGuard Javascript at issue in Google LLC v SerpApi... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• I'm 38 and I Can't Support Myself Anymore

  'If we all woke up tomorrow and thought 'we need 10 million new homes'' The cost of 1 Million homes where people want to live (where your community is), would be roughly 0.5 Trillion to 1 Trillion USD [1]. So, I don't think this is true :(. Again, I want this to be true. But it is not today.

• Our position on open-weights models

  The letter misses out the key issue here. Should the worlds public knowledge be enclosed by a few powerful private companies or should it be available to all? The original vision for the web was a decentralized, open information sharing space designed to empower humanity. In my view the effort to privatise that via LLM distillation is the antithesis of that vision.... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• New to pc

  Change graphic to rx6500xt rtx 3050. Will need to add a second ssd 2.5inch sata, but hp wants too much money for that cheaper at newegg.com or amazon. Source: over 2 years ago

• [PSU] Phanteks Revolt 750w Fully Modular 80+ Platinum SFx PSU - $84.99 after coupon code and MIR ($25 coupon, $30 MIR)

  Your receipt should have newegg's logo on it, implying you purchased from newegg.com though. Source: over 2 years ago

• Need advice on my first pc. (i5 13600K, Strix Z690-F, RTX 4070 ti). Unsure about cooling choice for the CPU and whether the Motherboard will fit in the case.

  Your PSU is again, overpriced as all hell. I got a 1000W 80+ platinum psu for like $20 more than those goons are charging you. Also, the CPU you want is like $270 at Best Buy and $299 at newegg.com. So find different places to buy your stuff, and return whatever you've already paid for. Source: over 2 years ago

• First time PC builder. Here is my parts list. How did I do?

  I just placed an order with newegg.com today in order to capitalize on some Cyber Monday deals, so I probably didn't take nearly enough time to do my research. I used their PC Builder tool and did some cursory review checks. I'm not that interested in blinging this PC. Aesthetically, I would prefer dark and as quiet as possible. I would love some feedback on my selections. Source: over 2 years ago
