Is this just an ad for whimsical animations? Seemed like an abrupt change.

Yeah, this couldn't have really gone any better for the author, opinion piece hitting HN with a link for a course in it.

I understand the need to make a living but hard to take this stuff seriously/sincerely with the, "and buy my course!" angle.

It feels like AI topic on HN is going through the phase of when /r/stablediffusion subreddit was going through phase of real artist vs ai artist discussions.

Came here to comment this. I've already saw another article by this author and it all leads towards the course. Not cool :/

My first operating system and GUI was GEOS on the Commodore 64. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_(8-bit_operating_system)

Is PC/GEOS (GeoWorks Ensemble) in there ? Or does it count as a DOS application ?

Mine as well. Felt like I imagined a Mac felt like (I was Mac-envious in those days).

Reminds me of the Arrested Development scene: Bob Loblaw Lobs Law Bomb.

I’ll be working on my law blog. The Bob Loblaw Law Blog.

I was thinking Lesley Knope in Parks and Recreation. She was always pitching these kind of headlines.

This scene nearly killed me, haha.

Also the tongue twisters from princess carolyn

"BoHo go bye bye for joey pogo? that's a no go bro"

There was one that went on for like couple of minutes in the later seasons, with courtney portnoy but there's not a video for some reason.

Blending hot liquids requires care because turning on and heating the air causes the lid to blow off. Most blenders are limited by physics. Vitamix have an analog dial for speed which allows you to heat the air more slowly. Turning off bubble? Maybe I’ve experienced that … but seems like an inexperienced operator with hot liquids and powerful motors is just a recipe for disaster.

TeleGuard is an app downloaded more a million times that markets itself as a secure way to chat. The app uploads users’ private keys to the company’s server, and makes decryption of messages trivial.

This is a valuable comment. It's the exact demoralization that others fear we are headed.

From DYMO: Dear user, Thank you for contacting [DYMO]. I am sorry to hear about the inconvenience you are experiencing.

Kindly be informed, that unfortunately, but the DYMO Label Software v.8. is incompatible with the new macOS 26 Tahoe. The software is officially obsolete, we do not develop it anymore. The last update for it was introduced when Apple released their macOS 11 Big Sur, it was in 2020. The printers you have, with the exception of LabelWriter 450, are incompatible with the current software.

LabelWriter Duo and LabelManager PnP Wireless are obsolete for some time now (keep in mind that LabelWriter Duo is a 20 years old printer) and there are no drivers for them in a our current DYMO Connect software.

LabelWriter 450 was still being manufactured when the DYMO Connect was released, therefore drivers for that model were and still are included in the software.

Those older models would be working on an older OS (up to macOS Sequoia) and on Windows PC. Once again, I am sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing.

“Do you want to sell AirPods?”

No. They want to sell more i-devices so this is just punishment for not fully participating.

We’ve spent hundreds of years perfecting crystal clear glass and now we want skeuomorphic imperfections? Two steps back, indeed.

Cars are often artificially detuned to the trim level that’s inscribed on the boot.
