If you live in Michigan, you might not be able to legally use a VPN soon if a new bill is passed into law.

The bill, called the Anticorruption of Public Morals Act and advanced by six Republican representatives, would ban a wide variety of adult content online, ranging from ASMR and adult manga to AI content and any depiction of transgender people.

Americans want AI to stay out of their personal lives

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-09-20 11:00:28

A new study from Pew suggests that Americans aren’t particularly optimistic about AI. A full 50 percent of respondents said they were more concerned than excited about the use of AI in their daily lives. That’s down ever so slightly from 52 percent in 2023, but it’s up significantly from 37 percent in 2021. Americans expressed a number of concerns about AI, chief among them that it will negatively impact our ability to think creatively and form meaningful relationships with other people. Just 1

Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SATA SSD-s: how are they doing after 4 years of use?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-19 17:03:18

I’ve been running four Samsung 870 QVO 4TB SATA SSD-s for a while now. They’re old enough to be popping up on the second-hand market, so I thought it would be good to provide a few additional data points for those thinking about buying one. Mine have mainly been used in a home server setting, with one also being used as a backup drive at times. I initially got these drives because I found the noise that hard drives generated to be unacceptably high in a small apartment. They’re also quite a bit

This Is Hands-Down the Best Way to Store Kitchen Knives (no, It's Not a Block)

No kitchen tool demands proper storage more than knives. Options include canvas knife wraps, wooden blocks and in-drawer organizers, but the mighty magnetic knife strip ranks as my absolute favorite. It's the first purchase I make for any new kitchen, and I push everyone I know to install one immediately. I'm a culinary-school trained nonchef, but even chef chefs recommend this storage tool: "I first tried a magnetic strip in my home kitchen a few years ago and I'm hooked," says Melissa Araujo,

How to watch OpenAI’s ‘longer than usual’ GPT-5 reveal, as teased by a Death Star

“That’s no moon,” as Obi-Wan Kenobi once said. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stirred intrigue with a cryptic post last night showing the Death Star from Star Wars as a hint that something big is coming. That “something big” is undoubtedly GPT-5, OpenAI’s latest frontier model coming to ChatGPT. The company shared a less ambiguous post on X yesterday teasing the upcoming livestream. Since then, Altman has added that OpenAI’s next livestream will be “longer than usual” with a runtime of “about an hour.”

More than two hard disks in DOS

news.ycombinator.com Posted On 2025-12-05 17:19:27

Investigating the rather odd behavior of the Microsoft OS/2 1.21 disk driver led me to Compaq and their EXTDISK.SYS driver. While experimenting with various setups, I realized that DOS versions older than 5.0 do not support more than two hard disks exposed by the system’s BIOS, and will in fact quite likely hang early during boot-up if there are “too many” hard disks. This seems to have been one of the many things that “everyone knew” back in the day, similar to the fact that DOS versions older

Do You Need a Barbecue Knife?

A while back at my favorite kitchen-gear trade show, I spotted what appeared to be a trending category: barbecue knives. Their distinguishing characteristics seem to be a fairly tall blade, a shape that encourages a wokka-wokka–style rocking motion, and a target audience that skews heavily toward dudes with beards. Not all of those traits scream “great for grilling,” but I was intrigued. One question immediately stuck in my head: What, if anything, makes a knife grill-friendly? Those I'd come a

We Might Have Been Wrong About Where Spiders Came From

Technically speaking, every living thing on Earth can trace its origins to the sea. Some of these earliest creatures crawled onto land, evolving to become many different kinds of animals and insects—including, scientists believed for a long time, spiders and their relatives. A new study published today in Current Biology challenges the popular conception that spiders first emerged on land, instead suggesting that these arachnids and their relatives originated and evolved in the ocean.
