oh come on, i bought my series 11 last week!

i'm going to miss out on all those amazing new features, like... an improved heart rate variability measurement


You've got 14 days to return it, at least in the U. S.


my opinion on things like this (and the previous news about Mullvad) is that companies should be free to use their money for political reasons, and fund who they want, even if i vehemently oppose those views.

however, individual consumers are also free to stop supporting who they want - that’s why I switched to iVPN after my subscription ended


seems like a very similar idea to a site made by walzr, previously posted to HN. i’ll find the link somewhere


It was this one: https://walzr.com/sf-parking/

What a shame! Still such a cool idea!


for me on chrome (stable), all that’s needed to install my own extensions is enable Developer Mode in chrome://extensions, then load an unpacked folder as an extension


It's been a while since I've had to do this so I'd be very happy to hear if the process has become smoother since - does it no longer give you a big warning that you've got a dangerous unpacked extension installed every time you start chrome then?


this is wildly complex, way more so than a traditional ClickFix attack. it's fetching JS scripts from a Ethereum/Base contract and executing them - i've never seen something like this before


> Google search is on the way out. I don't know any of my peers who use it anymore.

bear in mind we're on Hacker News. Google's market share is still above 90% - in almost any other market this would be a ridiculous monopoly.


don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, they gave legacy users literal years to migrate


I just downloaded a game I bought on steam 12 years ago and played it. I hadn't really thought of the game in the intervening time. If this had been minecraft, I'd have had to pay for the game again because I didn't convert my account.

But no, subnautica was ready to go, though the base building was just as buggy as it was before.


I really don't care about Microsoft's maintenance costs. I should be able to play the game I paid for 20 years from now without having to jump through hoops in the intervening period. It's not my fault that they decided to make my perfectly normal account a "legacy" account, that was their decision.


It would have been better if they hadn't required you to migrate at all. And a lot of people, including me, ran into issues during the migration process. Thankfully I was able to get it sorted out after contacting support, but other people weren't so lucky.


Just want to chime in as an anecdote who could not migrate. I attempted to migrate within the deadlines, yet the system refused to work. Contacted support and they were no help, in spite of my receipt and presumably, Notch’s log of my purchase.

But hey, trillion dollar company tried hard. Nothing more could have been done.


They should have made it a seamless transition for legacy users.


They could have just emailed new codes to every legacy email on file and that would at least given the possibility of keeping most customers whole.


+1 on infisical. brilliant self-hosted offering, i love their CLI and it works well with CI pipelines


different people work in different ways. just because you hate it doesn't mean it won't be helpful for others.

also if you're buying used books, expect them to be used!


"expect them to be used!"

I would expect them to be in the condition they were graded as. I'll avoid poor or fair condition books that have lots of marking in them. Good books that have minimal marking should be fine to me.


Writing on a book is a bad way to treat a book. I hate it.
