The only time Hacker News is this interested in Bitcoin is when there's a bubble forming Sun 30 July 2017 You might have got the impression that there are a lot of Bitcoin-related posts on Hacker News lately. With SegWit set to activate in the next few weeks, and Bitcoin Cash likely to fork off on the 1st of August, I took a look at Hacker News' relationship with Bitcoin over the past years.

Countertop real estate is valuable, and when you're short on space, every inch counts.

Instead of giving in to gimmicks, it's smarter to build your kitchen around dependable, multifunctional gear. We asked chefs

Gaming keyboards are everywhere these days, and with a plethora of options available it's not hard to find a good one.

Bitcoin enthusiasts have been perplexed lately. Why is the price so stagnant, even with all the hype created by guys like President Donald Trump? The White House has largely been seen as enacting a pro-crypto agenda and even got its first crypto czar in David Sacks, after all. You’d think prices would be soaring.

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Issues? It Might Just Be Your HDMI Cable

As the Switch 2 continues to sell in the millions for Nintendo, it shouldn't be a surprise that there'd be some issues with the console. It appears, however, that one problem Switch 2 owners are facing is actually just a matter of using the wrong cable. Reddit users have posted about their Joy-Cons disconnecting when they're playing on their Switch 2 while it's docked, an issue spotted earlier by IGN.
