Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here 495 by hdiniz | 225 comments on Hacker News. Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here. Dell's new Latitude 5420/7420/7520 Notebooks have a ongoing issue where their CPU are severely throttled when running on any Linux distribution, even on Ubuntu OEM Certified System according to some reports at the forum. After a link to the Dell forum post was ported to HN, the post mysteriously was deleted in the same day. Many users of this model posted to the forum thread since last year and so far no solution was provided and we only received very unenthusiastic responses from Dell support. Shocking to see this apparent action to hide the problem. Originally Here: https://ift.tt/j0PiXVK... You can still see it on Google Cache https://ift.tt/nh4zERH...

Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project? 551 by JNRowe | 908 comments on Hacker News. Last February there was, in my opinion, a really uplifting thread with the same title¹. I'd like to see all the cool new things going on, and I'll steal the intro text from as89 to explain: One where you don't care if it makes money or gets a lot of attention, but you are working on it regardless. I don't think I mean private hobbies, exactly, but projects that could or will be shared with others - you just don't care about the outcome. ¹ https://ift.tt/ZTFREmu

Ask HN: How do you deal with getting old and feeling lost? 539 by trendingwaifu | 415 comments on Hacker News. I am turning 35 years soon and I feel like I haven't achieved much, both personally and professionally. I have held jobs in small and big companies for mostly for 1-2 years each, traveled and lived in different countries, had 2 failed startups, and have about $500k in savings. I am single and haven't had a serious relationship for many years now. As time went on, I started feeling less excited about everything, personal or work related. I used to be excited about new technologies, but not these days. I feel like I've seen most things before, and it's all just different iterations of the same. I increasingly wish I could go back to my 20s. Now I feel too old to go to festivals, bars and clubs and make new friends that way. This has been a recent change for me. When I was ~30 I still considered myself young and able to do anything I could do when I was in my 2

Google Maps now requires WiFi scanning to use navigation 675 by bbarnett | 393 comments on Hacker News. I've been using Google Maps a long time, and during all of that time I have only used GPS for location tracking on Android. Depending upon the version of Android, I've had different things disabled. Wifi scanning. Bluetooth. Cell location data. Etc. Always with one single goal -- GPS only for location. And further, this is always, especially with newer versions of Android, restricted in many ways. For example, only allowing when an app is active, and so on. Google has always played games with Maps, using dark patterns. For example, with the versions prior to the current version, if I wanted Maps to zoom in on my location, I'd hit the tracking button. It'd first say something like "To continue, turn on device location". Of course, device location is on, but it's only for GPS, and google so badly wants that (apparently) vital, and sweet wifi + bluetooth

Google to turn on activity tracking for many users who turned it off 653 by twhb | 265 comments on Hacker News. I received an email from Google yesterday that communicated, with much obfuscation, the following key points: - The “Web & App Activity” setting for Google Workspace users will be ignored by Gmail, Drive, Docs, Calendar, Chat, Meet, Keep, and several other services. - Tracking for these services will be controlled by a new user setting, “Google Workspace Search History”, which will default to on regardless of the user’s Web & App Activity setting. - The ability of Google Workspace organizations to turn off “Web & App Activity” for all users will be removed. - These changes will take effect on 2022-03-29.
