  1. Ask HN: Why can't Apple Screen Time block certain websites?

    All I want to do is block lichess.org. In the settings in my MacBook I can go to content restrictions and put "lichess.org" on the restricted list. But I can still access the website from Brave browser? How difficult…

  4. Ask HN: 1Password is backing out of the lifetime license I bought. Can I sue?

    I bought a "lifetime" 1Password license over a decade ago before they switched to a monthly-fee model. Now I'm getting a notice that I must upgrade to a monthly-fee-based model to continue using 1Password (see…

  5. Ask HN: Do you look down on people who don't use MacBooks?

    I have noticed that if I see someone working next to me and they aren't using a MacBook, then my opinion of them goes down a notch. For instance, there is a pretty girl working next to me right now, but she is on a…

  6. Ask HN: How do you start over with 2FA after losing your phone?

    I left my iPhone in a cab in Costa Rica by mistake. I may as well have thrown it into a volcano. I have 2FA set up on three dozen different and important online accounts, and it's all through the Google Authenticator…

  8. Ask HN: Why can't I buy a phone charger with a 2-prong wall plug?

    Ideally, I would like a multi-charging cable (such as this one: https://www.amazon.com/Charging-USAMS-Multiple-Connectors-Compatible/dp/B07QXVCFD1) but which doesn't have a USB connector at the other end, but rather…

  9. Pro Tip: talk to customer service representatives as though they are chatbots

    I have discovered that the best way to interact over the phone with customer service representatives is to pretend that they are chatbots. You should speak slowly and clearly and spell things out. You should pause often…

  10. Ask HN: Can I get two phone numbers on a single phone?

    I would like a cellphone that has two SIM cards so that I can have one phone number for all my friends and family and a second phone number for all my online accounts and 2FA stuff and anything impersonal that is likely…

  12. Ask HN: Why can't smart phone screens also be solar panels?

    I would like to just be able to lay my phone face-up in the sun as a way to recharge the battery. We already have solar-powered calculators. Why can't this be done with cellphones. Sure, maybe it would take 15 hours to…

  13. Ask HN: Why can't Apple's Screen Time blacklist certain URLs?

    Apple devices come with a feature called Screen Time that can be used to put parental controls on a device, and it can also be shared across all devices that share the same iCloud account. The feature I'm most…
