The higher margin is mostly coming from assembly costs, right? I can't imagine it comes from the actual cost of the battery being so much higher. I hope that once they start pushing these out and retool factories for them they can sell them more broadly.

It's not really a small percentage of users. All users will have trouble with the battery - eventually. My DS4s ran out of battery life in about three years of usage; I still have one of them that I use wired with my PC, but I absolutely cannot use it wireless. Likewise with my DS5s - one of them barely held a charge 2-3 years in. I'm sure with good battery management you can extend the lifespan to be closer to 5-6 years, like my M1 MBP from 2021 that still has a 9+h battery life (though down from 12 as I remember), but that only keeps them going for a little longer. It's just a fact of how Li-ion batteries work that they will lose their capacity eventually.

E: DS4 = DualShock 4, DS5 = DualSense; these are the standard PlayStation controllers for the PS4 and the PS5 respectively.

Yeah, I strongly remember getting Sonnet 3.5 with Aider to boostrap an (albeit basic) project and getting it to work. Especially vivid because I told my roommate at the time about it and he also tried it out and was also shocked. I'd put maybe $20 in credits into the API haha. Feels so quaint, it's almost a foregone conclusion with the current models and harnesses.

> How much React code you wrote 6-8 years ago will work perfectly and identically with today’s React toolchain?

Today's Elm toolchain is the Elm toolchain of 6 years ago!

I'm so happy I have something I can link to that clearly and patiently engages with all the people who concern troll about Wikipedia. It genuinely bothers me how the temperature of the conversation about wikipedia (even here on HN) has changed so much because of people who don't know anything, don't care to verify anything, but have an axe to grind.

> when Android Auto connects on my phone, it tends to stop me from using the maps app on the phone

This is on Google Maps. Nothing about Auto/CarPlay prevents this. Google just chose to do this.

I'm skeptical there actually is a difference. I've compared my iPad with the white point, brightness and color filters set for comfort and it's no worse for reading than a Kindle Paperwhite with the reading light on (which you usually want for higher contrast). I'd attribute more of that fun reading experience to it being a single-purpose device more than the quality of the screen.

Yeah for the first time in a long time I ended up using my entire weekly quota. Usually I go slow but with Fable I actively saw a huge benefit in pushing it and doing much more.

If you think so you've only ever worked in a trash org. If my productivity was hurt by things outside my control I'd expect (and have had) managers to fight for me.

This is insane reporting. Their own article says the data center buildout happened in 2017. The article they link about it says the same thing. And so rate changes now - in 2026, nearly a full decade after those DCs were built out - are somehow the fault of the measly 37 datacenters there? They don't even say that outright - they're just insinuating this from the title and wording in the artcile to be sneaky about it. This is garbage! They just put "$current_thing bad" in the headline and nobody's really checking that they're straight up lying by omission!

But if you're tolerant of someone in your workplace that wants to make it a monoculture, and then succeeds in doing so, will you remain glad?

I've read an entire book on the X3 attached to the back of my phone and it hasn't been an issue. Reading horizontally I get close enough to the 80 chars per line ideal that it doesn't bother me at all.

Vibe coding has made them a lot more common. Before, you'd need to put a lot more effort into making a website that worked like this, and it wasn't worth it for a random post. Now this person's entire website is posts like this, and I've seen many more in the past few months.
