I don't think a high price in the VPN market is a reliable indicator of "getting something better"

VPN companies often overpackage their offerings and overcharge -- this truism doesn't apply when shopping for VPNs.

With online development responsibilities, I don't find VPNs to be compatible with what I do all day.

That said, the few implementations I have test before seemed leaky and not as useful as they claim.

Well, it's edited now, but previously it contained strong accusations, and doubled down even stronger after someone else pointed out they're wrong.

Ah, I was late to the scene. Thanks for the context.

Different Bear. https://bear.app/

Which you could have known by spending five seconds on https://lambdalpha.com, or actually reading your own link which calls Bear an "Apple Design Award winner notes app", which doesn't really sound like the Bear blog.

Stop spreading rampant misinformation.

Rampant? Isn't that a pretty extreme response to a mistaken link?
leakycap commented on Ask HN: Best Marketplaces for Used Servers?    · Posted by u/bloudermilk

Likely craigslist unless you're willing to make some local connections.

Be aware this equipment is not pleasant to be around (loud, hot)

Server hardware is too heavy/bulky to be able to support a big online marketplace. Your best bet is to identify the type of organizations that buy the server hardware you want to buy used and find out how they get rid of their excess.

I've gotten a handful of free server equipment (no drives) by being willing to show up and take whatever is being offered.

leakycap commented on Show HN: OS X Mavericks Forever   mavericksforever.com/... · Posted by u/Wowfunhappy

Reading "Why Mavericks" made me glad not to be alone in noticing the slow progression toward a general lack of usability in macOS.

For me, it started with 10.7 when a lot of things changed just to look different. From then forward, user habits were seemingly not considered and everything moved here and there on a yearly basis.

At least with Windows, the major overhauls to Explorer come so slowly that your productivity routines don't get sand in the cogs every year when you update and Apple's OS shifts extremely key parts of the window UI around and makes the hit points even smaller over time.

The killer for me is how difficult it is to fix things if you don't like them. Modern macOS has horrendous mouse speed handling, and changing this beyond Apple's very limited settings is a pain. And even then, Windows and Linux and older OS X handled the cursor movement better. I like(d) so much about Apple over the years, but it is clear they're an iPhone company that makes laptops and desktops... not the other way around.

This just seems like an extremely inconvenient, very hands-on subscription given that similarly priced AI detection exists with reliable, cheap cameras.

There is nothing on this page that generates coloring pages, it's just a link to a PDF. Weird title.
