news.ycombinator.com Kenneth Reitz 2025-12-09 21:53:37

The Cost of Transparency: Living with Schizoaffective Disorder in Tech August 2025 "We celebrate mental health awareness until someone actually needs mental health support." In The Inclusion Illusion, I explored how tech companies perform diversity while quietly eliminating employees who actually need accommodations. What I didn't share was the personal cost of that analysis—how living openly with schizoaffective disorder has systematically excluded me from the very communities I helped build

Sure, August marks the beginning of the NFL season, the US Open and NCAA sports, but let's not forget that we're also headed into the dog days of Banana Ball season. The Savannah Bananas have become a cult phenomenon, selling out nearly every major baseball stadium they've played in this year, including Fenway Park, Nationals Park and Camden Yards this summer. If you've only just caught on to the sport that features line-dancing, costumes and only a vague similarity to baseball, the bad news is

The Pixel 10 fixes my biggest hardware pet peeve, but many of you won’t see it

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-10 03:00:30

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Much ink has been spilled around the Pixel 10’s SIM situation. In the US, the three main phones — Pixel 10, 10 Pro, and 10 Pro XL — ship without a physical SIM slot. You can use two eSIMs at the same time, and some of us think that’s fine. While I do love my eSIMs, I’m not ready to adopt them full time just yet, so you can’t imagine my relief when we learned that the rest of the world gets to keep the slot.

Like Intel before it, AMD blames motherboard makers for burnt-out CPUs

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-06 22:54:42

AMD's X3D-series Ryzen chips have become popular with PC gamers because games in particular happen to benefit disproportionately from the chips' extra 64MB of L3 cache memory. But that extra memory occasionally comes with extra headaches. Not long after they were released earlier this year, some early adopters started having problems with their CPUs, ranging from failure to boot to actual physical scorching and burnout—the problems were particularly common for users of the 9800X3D processor in A

Pixel 10's US Launch Might Be the Moment That eSIM Finally Becomes Easy

Google's choice to go eSIM-only in the US for the Pixel 10 might actually be a well-timed move by the company. While I was initially concerned that an eSIM-only phone might be a frustrating roadblock for the Pixel 10, several advances in how the US carriers support eSIM, along with a new iOS 26 feature, might actually make it easier than ever to switch your phone.

Nearly a year ago, GM began selling an adapter to allow existing electric vehicles use the North American Charging Standard plugs at Tesla Supercharger stalls. EV owners rejoiced in their newfound freedom. Now, GM is announcing three more adapters. The additional adapters, which help GM customers access EV chargers with different charging rates and standards, is a win for flexibility, but at the cost of simplicity. It’s entirely possible that two-EV households could own four different adapters.
