Even worse, two weeks back when the first news appeared (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49319633), I had access to the ad blocker for about a week (and turned it on), but after a few days the option disappeared...

What functionalities are limited on iOS? I'm curious, because I'm considering Pebble watch as I'm disappointed with Garmin.

I'm sorry, but that's a pass for me. I can't even read the first story about Dropbox, cause at one point it just jumps to the next story.

If you are subscribed to channels, I really recommend using Subscriptions instead of home page. Otherwise, you may miss videos from your favorite creators just because YT decided so.

This is the way. If a user does not have YT Premium, watching 500 hours earns the creator from $0.5 to $5. Patreon/merch is way more effective in supporting your favorite authors.

I'm not going to lie, seeing all these comments complaining about W11, people not wanting to upgrade from W10, exploring possibility to migrate to Linux and then THIS title, I laughed. Well played, Microsoft, well played...

Firstly, I have not complained about Linux, did I? Even more, I'm about to switch to Linux on my desktop, thanks to Microsoft and their EOS for "the last Windows version ever". Secondly, I suspect power users hardly ever find any OS perfect for their needs, there are always some customizations.

> That has terrible ergonomics for anyone using a non-US keyboard, though - the backtick is immediately above the option key so to hit together with CMD requires clawing together your thumb and little finger.

That's true, hence why I remap it to a "proper" key, above Tab with:

  $ cat ~/Scripts/keyboard_remapping.sh
  #!/bin/bash
  
  hidutil property --set '{"UserKeyMapping":
      [{"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc":0x700000064,
        "HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst":0x700000035},
       {"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc":0x700000035,
        "HIDKeyboardModifierMappingDst":0x7000000E1}]
  }'
