It's better than having to hear them complain every time plex goes down


In the 1Password entry go to the "website" item. To right right there's an "autofill behavior" button. Change it to "Only fill on this exact host" and it will no longer show up unless the full host matches exactly


Is this a per-item behaviour or can this be set as a global default?

I'm guessing this is 1Password 8 only, as I can't see this option in 1Password 7.


I've looked in the settings on 1p8, and didn't find a setting for a global default.


Not entirely true. It can't seem to distinguish between ports..


because ports don't indicate a different host.


Omg thank you, I had no idea they added this feature!


Or those who use pnpm


I’ll do you one better. I refuse to install npm or anything like npm. Keep that bloated garbage off my machine plz.

I guaranteed way for me to NOT try a piece of software is if the first setup step is “npm install…”


Sure, but throwing the baby out with the bathwater tends to not be a solution that people will find clever or reasonable.


I guess it’s because I do C++ and robotics. But npm is just not part of my world. The only time I come across it is when someone gets real lazy and doesn’t ship a proper single exe distributable. Claude Code and Codex CLIs were both naughty on initial release. But are now a single file distributable the way the lord intended.


Moonlight on the Apple TV works great.


They added auto-playing, full screen video ads to the home screen. I threw mine in the garbage.

Pride and love, lol…


> They added auto-playing, full screen video ads to the home screen.

I'm pretty sure this is actually Google's fault (even Sony televisions suffer from this bullcrap). Unlike phone Android, Google TV (yes, that's the official name now) enforces certain "standards", one of them is this bullcrap.


> I'm pretty sure this is actually Google's fault

Who cares who delivered the actual bytes or who initiated the change, the matter of fact is that people buy a device from one company, then the company is responsible for the experience they deliver while it's supported. Since they chose Android, they're responsible for the experience you get when using the stuff you buy from them.

I'd never complain to the maker of a compressor when it dies in a fridge, I'll complain to the one I bought the fridge from. Not sure why we're so adamant on thinking differently regarding computers. NVIDIA might blame Google internally, but feels like consumers are right to be pissed off about NVIDIA changing (or being OK with someone else changing) their experience in a product they bought from NVIDIA.


Because you're on a forum called Hacker News and we pride ourselves on being smart enough to understand the details of systems, and using that to our advantage. Nvidia as a corporation isn't some nobody compared to Google, but do you really think their engineering team has the clout to get Google's advertising arm to bend to their will?


What the commenter is saying pertains to the _decision_ to use Android. That is why this is happening. That is NVidia.


Such decisions cannot be reversed on a whim.


I use an old Amazon FireTV Stick on an old LG LED TV (semi-smart), and neither of them bug me with such fullscreen ads, unless I opt to watch MX content on Amazon Prime (MX is basically third-party ads-funded free OTT content; Amazon Prime requires subscription, and even its standard subscription has occasional ads for Prime content, though Amazon Prime also has a premium pricing tier for ads-free content).

I don't face such third-paety ads nonsense on Netflix and Disney+ (yet), at least on this old FireTV and old LG TV.

Unskippable irrelevant annoying ads and privacg concerns are the main reasons I still steer clear of "smart" TVs.


My Sony TV doesn't do this, thankfully


My Samsung Frame TV shows ads in the app bar and you cannot disable/remove them. They can’t even use the Google excuse because the TV runs Samsung’s OWN TizenOS.

They’re lucky it’s a good (beautiful) TV..


This doesn't really bother me. I just use my TV to watch Netflix.

Ofcourse Samsung has "sponsored" apps everything does.


You could just have download a different home screen... sad.


I did end up switching to Flauncher for a while before getting an Apple TV.


Does Apple TV have ads for Apple shows in its UI?


No. The Apple TV _service_ does, and you can configure that service to be some kind of weird god service if you want. But you can also treat that service like any other normal service, one that only comes up if you launch it. In that case, the home screen is just a straight icon grid with no kerfuffle.


Yes, one or two, and not annoying (not trying to grab your attention). No ads for toothpaste or cars.

Apple TV is not the solution for purists who cannot handle anything that can be construed as an ad. It’s a great solution for those who just want to browse and watch content without distracting ads everywhere.


Amazon started this trend among major streaming services - showing self promotion ads.

Apple took notes and decided to outdo them. The F1 movie ads famously popped up in inappropriate places.


The Apps in the home row on Apple TV will have fullscreen promotions when the home row is along the bottom of the screen. If you set your home row apps with care, the fullscreen previews will not be ads (i.e. Photos will do a slideshow of your photos, Jellyfin just pulls random images from its/your own movie library metadata, etc.).


You can make them still images by going into the accessibility settings


Full screen video ads on the home screen ? I don’t see this on mine.


Yep. I had to switch to an alternative launcher to get rid of them.


This is Google. Just change the default launcher and you're good.


Nova Launcher just added advertisements, unless you buy Pro. Ads come for everyone.


Try https://github.com/spocky/miproja1, it's awesome and will never get any ads.


Can confirm, it works very well. You can set it as the default launcher, and never have an issue.


That's because Nova launcher sold to new owners (whose presumed only goal is to serve ads)


Who’s going to make the rehype plugin?


I think it's pretty common for more than one thing to happen on most days.


It isn't unheard of for 2 companies to announce a shutdown on the same day. What is less common is for them to both announce it on the same day and last day isn't 4 weeks/30 days.

When I saw this announcement after seeing pocket earlier, I immediately started to wonder if there was a regulatory change on 8 July.


DOJ starts enforcement of the new DSP on that date, for one thing.

Thanks that is useful


I think Devbox's killer feature is trivially searching for and installing packages by version: https://www.jetpack.io/blog/how-nixhub-searches-nixpkgs/


There's no need for anecdotes as the data is published. Only ~1% of connections are missed: https://reporting.sbb.ch/punctuality?=&years=1,4,5,6,7&scrol...

~93% of trains are punctual with a VERY strict definition for punctual: within 3 minutes of the scheduled time.

If you experienced worse, you were in an unlucky minority of people.


What your link shows is that train punctuality in 2022 was 92.5 %. That is shocking bad. Back in 2018 at least 10 countries were doing better than Switzerland.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1255048/punctuality-regi...


Here is a recent perspective.

[1] "Why Swiss trains are less punctual — and what is being done about it" - https://www.thelocal.ch/20220110/why-swiss-trains-are-less-p...

Once more a variation on how to lie with statistics... It does not matter if the overall statistics show a somewhat high value, mostly driven by predicable and frequent travels between Cantons in the mountains, where there is maybe just one track. What matters is the experience of the majority of commuters on urban centers. From [1] in 2022, the year of most recent statistics.

"The punctuality values in the last three months on some major intercity routes are below the threshold:

Zurich HB - Bern: 73.5 percent of on-time arrivals and departures

Lausanne - Geneva: 71.5 percent

Basel - Zurich: 67.5 percent

Zug - Zurich HB: 76.1 percent

Olten - Lucerne: 66.7 percent "


But you are doing the same thing. Switzerland has a high standard of 3min is late. What actually important if you make your connections. In Switerland you make your connection like 98ish% of the time.

This article picks out some of the worst lines over a very short time period. You can do that in most networks. Some German ICE lines have 23% on time.

I ride some of those city to city pairs and those numbers don't line up with my experiance over the last couple years.


I'm not sure how Statista got their info, but most other countries define "late" as being more than 5 minutes behind schedule. In Switzeland that limit is lower with only 3 minutes not counting as late.


Can’t tell from that link but historically the Swiss punctuality standard is three minutes where other countries use five or more, Japan being the notable exception.
