Ultrasonic Chef's Knife

First up, there's this crazy ultrasonic chef's knife. Like, it vibrates super fast to cut stuff. People were all over it, some saying it's a gimmick, others are like 'new tech always starts weird.' One dude even said he finds sharpening his knives on whetstones 'meditative' – seriously, who knew?

Disney+ Cancellation Page Crashes

Then, get this, the Disney+ cancellation page crashed! Apparently, a bunch of people tried to quit after that whole Jimmy Kimmel thing. Sounds like a mess, and folks were debating free speech and execs caving to pressure. Wild to think a cancellation page can't handle the load, right?

Microsoft's H-1B Visa Warning

Big tech news too: Microsoft told H-1B visa employees to come back to the US ASAP. Looks like visa fees are going way up, like $100,000 a year or something insane. Total scramble for a lot of people, and the comments were a heated debate about immigration and politics. Another related article mentioned these H1Bs will start costing a hundred grand a year, so yeah, definitely a hot topic.

Git Introducing Rust

And for the dev nerds, Git is making Rust mandatory in its build system. Yeah, you heard that right. People are talking about Rust's borrow checker, static analysis, and if it's a good move for Git's future. It's a pretty big shift for such a core tool.

$2 USB Information Display

On the lighter side, there's this super cool, super cheap $2 USB display. It's tiny, like 0.96 inches, just plugs into your computer to show info. But of course, everyone in the comments immediately went to 'what if it's a malicious keylogger?' Classic HN paranoia, haha. But seriously, for two bucks, that's pretty neat.

Are Touchscreens in Cars Dangerous?

Finally, a good old debate: Are touchscreens in cars dangerous? The article and comments were full of people saying 'bring back physical buttons!' Some shared how Mazda does it right with screens higher up and a scroll wheel, not just touch. Makes sense, right? Who wants to be fumbling with a screen while driving?

Anyway, that's the gist of it for Saturday. Wild stuff, as usual. Talk soon!
