Visa and Mastercard are getting overwhelmed by gamer fury over censorship

news.ycombinator.com Patricia Hernandez 2025-12-29 04:53:52

In the wake of storefronts like Steam and itch.io curbing the sale of adult games, irate fans have started an organized campaign against the payment processors that they believe are responsible for the crackdown. While the movement is still in its early stages, people are mobilizing with an eye toward overwhelming communication lines at companies like Visa and Mastercard in a way that will make the concern impossible to ignore. On social media sites like Reddit and Bluesky, people are urging on

Six Principles for Production AI Agents

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-29 09:19:03

Every now and then, people ask me: “I am new to agentic development, I’m building something, but I feel like I'm missing some tribal knowledge. Help me catch up!”. I’m tempted to suggest some serious stuff like multiweek courses (e.g. by HuggingFace or Berkeley), but not everyone is interested in that level of diving. So I decided to gather six simple empirical learnings that helped me a lot during app.build development. This post is somewhat inspired by Design Decisions Behind app.build, but

Apple last updated its flagship AirPods Pro buds in 2022, and rumor has it the company will release the next-gen AirPods Pro 3 this fall alongside its new iPhones. While there's no guarantee we'll get the AirPods Pro 3 this year, Apple has released a new model of AirPods every year since 2019 (I'm counting 2023's AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C as a new model), and the Pro line is due for an upgrade.

It’s reported that Meta has partnered with Huaqin to manufacture the device. The smartwatch may be publicly revealed in September during the Meta Connect conference.

Let’s hope one iPhone 17 Pro camera rumor is dead wrong

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-12-30 10:40:17

Yesterday saw the emergence of three rumors about the iPhone 17 Pro camera system. The source for them has no track-record, so it’s entirely possible that all three are nonsense, but it’s at least plausible that they would have access to the claimed information. Two of the rumored features would be welcome, even if one sounds rather unlikely. But the third is something I’m very much hoping is dead wrong … The source claims to work for a video production company which lists Apple among its clie

Here’s the real problem with Nothing’s quirky Phone 3 design

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I love Nothing’s semi-transparent design language. Its debut Phone 1 was the first Android phone in a long time that I can remember being just as happy to look at as I was to use (if only because it didn’t work in the US). Then, I watched Nothing refine its style over a few generations of mid-range and budget phones, reworking its Glyph interface and camera placement until it found a combination so cute that Wall-E might fall in love with it.

Chemical process produces critical battery metals with no waste

Olivine is a rather unassuming rock. Olive brown to yellow green in color, this hard yet brittle mineral is thought to be the most abundant in Earth’s upper mantle. Chemically, olivine is magnesium iron silicate, though it contains other elements too. Economically, it’s close to worthless. Its limited industrial utility stretches to gemstones, metalworking, ceramics, and occasionally, as a gravel for road construction. At some mining sites, olivine is a waste product, stored in piles on the surf

Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Review: A Hybrid Gaming Mouse

wired.com Henri Robbins 2025-12-30 08:00:00

Switching to a vertical mouse is a hard sell. Having to change how you use a mouse completely can be an intimidating task, especially with how unnatural the new hand position feels at first—you’re going entirely against the muscle memory you’ve spent years building up. One of the largest challenges to the switch is the initial loss of pointer accuracy. If you’re in an office setting, you may find yourself wandering around a bit or struggling to move your new mouse as quickly as you did before.
