Wouldn’t be a hacker news post without shoehorning chatbots

On the pihole subreddit there's a wiki with lists of domains you can whitelist for certain services. I had to whitelist something for xbox live to work.

Pihole catches a lot of the trackers and crap coming out of my android tv. On my pc I see it as an extra line of defense after ublock.

Great even fewer tech jobs!

I dont think anyone's arguing against generic alternatives of name brand items. The issue here is Amazon using up-and-coming and popular products as fodder for them to generic-ize and push to the top of results, essentially knee capping the original seller.

Most TVs with a tuner can still listen to analog signals, I'm assuming for legacy device support (game consoles, VCRs, etc.)

Otherwise useless phones would be cool as battery backed raspberry like devices

I don't think he's spreading FUD. It's a lot of trust you're placing in a 3rd party who doesn't have the source code to patch your system. Independent reviews and A B testing would help sway a lot of people, IMO.

My conspiracy brain thinks part of the reason for the red hat acquisition was to funnel disgruntled IBM i customers into that while bleeding the platform dry.

Profits fine, its just not raking in billions and billions like IBM Z is, so IBM i always gets the scraps.

I can speak with confidence that its hanging on by a thread. IBM has bean counted the development and support staff to the point that entire critical sections of the OS have maybe one, two people working on it. Bugs take months or years to be addressed and security flaws sometimes take just as long to get patched. Not to mention features that were new 20 years ago get the IBM red tape and beuracacy treatment and never get implemented, alienating even more customers.

Figured he was going to say 'diversity' as if that has something to do with any of boeings issues, but your D words are on the nose!

Come on, say it for everyone.
