Spotify recently introduced a “Create” button along its bottom navigation bar, but it’s really not that helpful. Thankfully, Spotify has fixed this in a new update that lets you turn the “Create” button off. It’s been months since Spotify first rolled out its new “Create” button on the navigation bar, with the button moving from its previous location on the Library tab down to this dedicated position.

Telephone colophon: Or, how I overengineered my call audio (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-15 20:41:56

Toward the beginning of the pandemic, a friend asked me how she could use an external vocal mic and a guitar with a pickup on Zoom calls. Sounds easy, right? But to have the amount of control a musician really wants, it turned out to be a bit more involved. Plus, when working from home for a microphone company, it’s pretty common to use a decent mic in meetings. This post explains the setup I’ve been using for my calls. (Don’t let the speakers fool you.

Google’s Pixel Tablet is $190 off for a limited time

During the most recent Prime Day, the Google Pixel Tablet with Wi-Fi and 256GB of storage briefly dropped to just $309 ($190 off) — but the deal disappeared in a matter of hours. Fast forward to today, and the deal is back, but this time it’s available at Best Buy. Unfortunately, the discount is for today only (or until supplies last) and doesn’t include the speaker dock. The Pixel Tablet hit the scene back in 2023, so by tech standards, it’s relatively old. That being said, the discount certai

Attorneys for a death row inmate in Tennessee who’s scheduled to be executed Aug. 5 warn that his implanted heart device will repeatedly shock him during his execution, torturing him by trying to keep him alive as he’s killed by lethal injection. A judge ordered the device deactivated, but a local hospital in Nashville now says it won’t participate, according to a report from the Associated Press.

Figma’s IPO price hit a $19.3B valuation out of the gate

Figma will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday in one of the most anticipated IPOs of 2025. The IPO is 40x oversubscribed, VCs confirmed to TechCrunch and Bloomberg previously reported. That means demand for shares is 40x the number of shares the company and its existing investors are selling. So it should surprise no one that Figma, which offers design software, has priced its initial shares at $33 per share, above its previously announced range. On Monday, the company sa

Watch a Reconstructed 250-Year-Old Robotic Painting Bring a Fiery Mount Vesuvius Back to Life

Sir William Hamilton was the British ambassador to the court of Naples and Sicily from 1765 to 1800, as well as a passionate volcanologist. During his time in Italy he must have seen Mount Vesuvius erupt a number of times—certainly enough to leave a lasting impression. So much so that in 1775 he designed a rotating device that, with mechanical movement and light, could bring to life the fiery magma depicted in Pietro Fabris’ 1771 watercolor, “Night view of a current of lava.” While experts aren
