  1. Nissan Leaf drivers voice anger over app shutdown (theguardian.com)

  2. Ask HN: Is there a 'classic' smartphone that has a big secondary market?

    I'm taking my cue from having recently bought an old thinkpad in this: 10+ year old laptops that are pretty much on a par with modern hardware, but which cost only £200 or sometimes less. Plus, a community of…

  3. Ask HN: An equivalent to passwordstore.org for contacts and calendars?

    I love zx2c4's password-store plugin: command line based, git for version control and sync, a handy mobile app, support for OTPs, multiple users, the works. It is a great bit of software. I'm wondering if anyone is…

  4. Ask HN: Can the old ExpressCard spec for laptops be revived for new products?

    The context here is that I recently bought a thinkpad x230t from 2012 or so and I've fallen in love with it. I like the cheap RAM (16gb for £20), the serviceability, and the idea of being able to add new bits of…

  6. Ask HN: Directory of Alternatives to Various Subreddits?

    Is there a list somewhere of equivalent locations or alternatives to subreddits somewhere? For example, r/Programming might list HN or SO as alternatives. If this doesn't exist, maybe it should.

  7. Ask HN: Why isn't Usenet used anymore?

    As far as I can tell it is a solid, scalable, decentralised social network. It reminds me of secure scuttlebutt, and I don't quite understand why it couldn't be gossiped over local networks in the same way too. Is it…

  12. Ask HN: Is there a secure, self hosted address book suitable for journalists?

    I have a friend who is a journalist who wants to ditch CalDAV and the rest since finding out contacts aren't encrypted on the server. Is there some sensible solution for keeping a contacts book like journalists do?

  13. Ask HN: Is the e foundation's version of Android genuinely de-googled?

    Being more specific: has it been reviewed extensively by any outside parties? I'm keen to believe, but not trusting enough not to seek verification.

  15. Ask HN: Are there any programmable, user maintainable robovacs? Why not?

    This probably seems like a silly question, but every robovac I've had hasn't had a user replaceable battery, and has usually had a pretty poor algorithm. Is there an open solution anyone knows of?

  17. Ask HN: Why is there not an affordable, open smartphone?

    It seems strange that there isn't any mobile equivalent to the Raspberry Pi, CHIP or the Pinebook (https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=3707) which is priced at under, say, $100, and specifically aimed at people developing…

  24. Ask HN: How hard would it be to make a cheap, hackable phone?

    What I've wanted for years is something less extravagant and more mass market than the Neo900. The Greenphone was a reasonable example of this in its day, but nobody seems to be producing anything like it now for a…
