Anecdotally, I have never had issues with 3rd party cartridges in my Brother printer.

But what are the things you would want from a printer that is already quite reliable, not DRM'd, and presumably compatible with all the devices you want to use it with?

It sounds like you are saying that this is reasonable in any kind of way, it's not. This is like Gmail deleting non-spam email after 30 days to prevent your inbox from filling up.

Do they always do this? I never had to present my passport as far as i can remember.

Telegram had always impressed me for the same reasons. They have constantly gotten worse since about 2022/2023 though. Dark patterns, pay gate, they lost chat history for some of my closest contacts including 15k+ lost photos, no support at all. Something changed in their product direction and I started moving all my chats to Signal.

Cost of a car is extremely hard to predict, not just because of unexpected repairs but also because the price of gas is literally political.

The train experience in Germany is as bad as it is because of lobbying by the car industry and corruption both in the government and train operators. Not enough investment over decades paired with the absurd idea that train fares need to cover operating costs. Nobody would ask this of road networks, it’s just infrastructure that a society pays for. In addition to that the Deutsche Bahn suffers from common inefficiencies of large corporations that are not mitigated in effective ways by its leadership.

Fantastic comment, thank you! I am going to dive into several of those sources and ideas.

Maybe not as extreme but I also always took great care of my hearing, wearing protection whenever I went out dancing when I was younger and never turning up my music to be nice and loud like my friends did in high school. Now in my mid 30s I have stress-induced tinnitus. Oh well.

Yes, please dont post about any unpromoted venues on hacker news!

I don’t see anything indicating criticism in op’s comment, seems more like an expression of surprise.

They have this as an experimental feature (which is opt-in and I won't try it)

The article mentions `.vimrc`, which matches the format of the lines starting with `set ...` but that does not result in smooth scrolling for me.

Funny enough, OpenAI to this day violates EU requirements on price advertisement by charging VAT on top of the advertised price. They still owe me and every other customer in the EU ca. $3 VAT for every month I've had the ChatGPT subscription.

If you don't care about transparency your web app will not be transparent today. It takes effort. Same can be said for Wasm-based projects.

I would be interested in everyone's opinion on that 1 to 10 ratio ballpark number. What has your experience been like?
