Whether it's an Amazon Kindle or any other eReader, fast and fluid motion is probably the last thing you associate with an E-Ink display—but that's changing. In fact, E-Ink has been fast enough to work for special computer monitors for some time now, meant for a limited set of use cases.
Despite the noise around frontier AI models, most of the non-tech economy still runs on spreadsheets, manual lookups, and legacy systems. This is even more so the case in automotive repair, where the gap between what AI promises and what it actually delivers costs the industry real money.The global auto repair market is worth over $1 trillion but the US alone accounts for more than $180 billion of that annually, spread across more than 250,000 businesses, with no sing
Considering that half of failed hard drives die in their first year of operation, can we truly trust the 1-million-hour reliability figure that's been floating around for a long time now? <img src='https://static0.howtogeekimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2026/01/a7303841.jpg' />

There isn't wide support in the market to run leagues like this and the ones that do have it as a secondary focus, so I made one where the whole platform is based on DFS.I have been running a league like this
I built Skim because I was super dissatisfied with all existing Windows clients.I mean, it's not a rocket science, there should be some lightweight modern solution, isn't it? So I decided to create a client that just, you know, MAKES SENSE and has design younger than dinosaurs.Key points:* Obsessed with installer size: it should be under 5Mb.* BYOK AI. Cowriter, agentic search, summarization and other AI stuff is powered by your own key for Anthropic/Openrouter, or you can connect
Hello HN!We were finding it too much work to keep our Zendesk help center up to date as our product kept changing, so I built DocCharm — it keeps a help center up to date automatically by watching PRs as they land in your GitHub repository. It suggests updates (with AI) to existing articles, or drafts entirely new ones if nothing appropriate exists yet.Everything goes into a review queue first, so a human always checks (and can optionally edit) before anything publishes. In practice this has pro
Experienced Software Engineer working in Big Tech since the past decade.

My family has enough solar panels on our roof to offset all of our annual home energy needs, but just covering our roof with photovoltaic panels was not enough to make our renewable energy dreams come true. Here are the other investments we've made along the way.

This round of updates actually added many features I

Image compression is usually treated as a server-side task. You select an image, upload it to a website, wait for processing, and download the result.That workflow is convenient, but it is not always ideal for private screenshots, documents, personal photos, or business assets.A better approach is client-side image compression: the browser reads, processes, and exports the image locally without sending it to a server.What Is Client-Side Image Compression?Client-side image compression means the i
Nvidia's Rubin-generation AI servers run coolant that is often hotter than a hot tub as it enters a closed loop at up to 45°C and leaves at around 55°C, with no performance penalty in towThe principle leveraged here is that of a temperature gradient with server chips still running hotter than the coolant, allowing heat transfer to occur seamlesslyThe approach allows Nvidia to roughly conserve 2.6 million gallons per megawatt annually to near zero and could save a 50MW
