You just have to persuade your Mac that you are in the EU, and AI won’t work at all anymore. Changing language to non-English also helps.

To go with 2026 zeitgeist, OpenAI should buy the letters, scan them, feed them into their training data and drop them into a shredder.

Changing email providers was easy. But replacing gmail address in all my accounts with my own domain based address took me 2 years to complete. You only have to do it once though, and then you can change providers at will.

I noticed it too, but for Teams. Is it because they are both MS apps?

I was referring to some factual errors and omissions that make other historians angry. But the narrative is captivating.

Based on demographic reports, permanent underclass will soon be getting smaller each year. In fact in 4-5 generations the problem will solve itself completely.

I recommend a book 'Silk Roads' by Peter Frankopan. It’s an attempt to show world’s history as a continuous movement of center of civilizational gravity. It’s not without flaws, but interesting nonetheless.

Frankopan describes most of modern US history as a series of blunders. This approach is maybe a bit harsh, but it shows how difficult it is for a dominant power to stay on top.

I would summarise the book with a sentence „When you reach the top, the seeds of your decline are already planted”. In fact you can look at China or India - future dominant powers, and guess which of their flaws will make them fall.

I recently moved one of my boxes from Mailfence to Infomaniak. It works, but their product/pricing strategy is really hard to understand (my ksuite vs ksuite pro). Their AI is not helpful in explaining the differences. Also their UI opens new browser tab for almost every menu page. After dealing with these issues it works quite well.

I wonder if this move is similar to what Home Assistant project did.

I also switched to cheapest Mac Mini M4 Pro this year (after 20+ years of using Intel CPUs). MacOS has its quirks, but it provides ZSH and it "just works" (unlike manjaro I used in parallel with Windows). I especially like the preview tool - it has useful pdf and photo editing options.

The hardware is impressive - tiny, metal box, always silent, basic speaker built-in and it can be left always on with minimal power consumption.

Drive size for basic models is limited (512gb) - I solved it by moving photos to NAS. I don't use it for gaming, except Hello Kitty Island Adventure. I would say it's a very competitive choice for a desktop PC in 2025 overall.

I don't have means to verify this at all, privately I consider it blunt propaganda. HN is not the site to discuss politics.

I'm more surprised it's possible to post ads on such loaded issues on YouTube. I would appreciate comments from anyone with better knowledge of ads industry.

Ads like the one in the link appear before unrelated videos on YT.

Thailand invested in Swedish Gripen recently.

I own both AC and HRV and HRV is not enough for cooling. Single split unit has max air flow of around 500m3/h for a single room. My HRV has max air flow of 350m3/h for the whole house - it's not able to substantially cool anything.
