  2. Ask HN: Are there faster but 100% compatible Raspberry Pi alternatives?

    I love my Raspberry Pi 4 with its brand OS and the Noobs multi-boot set-up (switching between the full desktop, LibreELEC and Lakka) but it feels painfully slow on many websites, namely YouTube. I'd like a faster CPU…

  3. Ask HN: Why doesn't Microsoft ship all the libraries with Windows or updates?

  9. Ask HN: Why no tags on HN? Is there a 3rd party HN index with subject tags?

    I often find myself willing to look at a list of everything that was posted on HN on a particular subject. E.g. machine learning, neuroscience, privacy, education, Android or whatever... Is there such a list somewhere?

  11. Ask HN: What are some good HN-ish Twitter channels to the date?
