From a design perspective, this is really impressive. However, I noticed a few basic functionalities seem to be missing—at least for me—like the ability to return to the home screen from an app.
On a related note, Try Galaxy (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35886033) is another fascinating project. It offers a web-based One UI clone, and when installed as a PWA, the experience becomes even more seamless.
While using ChatGPT for enhancing your writings is not wrong by any means, reviewing the generated output and re-editing when necessary is essential to avoid robotic writing style that may smell unhuman. For instance, these successive paragraphs: "In contrast, using AWS.." and "In essence, with AWS.." leaves a bad taste in your brain when read consecutively.
What if, for some reason, the webcam's LED failed (e.g., it physically stopped working)? In case of a malware attack, you might not even realize that your webcam is being used even if the malware can't have access to control the LED. In my opinion, the most effective way to protect yourself against webcam hacking is to physically cover the camera with a sticker or cover when it’s not in use. Simply put, I believe physical safeguards are more reliable than software-based solutions whenever possible.
In an unrelated context, after three years of being part of Hacker News, I still don’t fully understand how things work behind the scenes. I was genuinely surprised to see this submission make it to the front page (currently at #7).

What’s even more puzzling is that it’s not listed under the "second chance" pool—neither on the first page nor the second, third, or fourth!
Hacker News, you certainly have a steep learning curve!
> Perhaps the browser with the most disruptive potential is from Microsoft with Edge... With Edge, Microsoft has a chance to claim the position of the disruptive alternate browser.
I believe moving from Chrome to Edge does not change a lot in terms of privacy, proprietary ecosystems, data mining practices, or other reasons that made you switch. In the end, it’s a transition from one tech giant to another of comparable scale with the same practices.
Safar? I don't think Apple has the intention to dominate this sector, so it won't push Safari beyond its current geography. All that it cares about is its * walled garden.
Firefox? Although I use it as my default browser, it is still far from mass adoption. The fact that they beg users to switch to Firefox* say it all: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38806270
Although the date is included in the article, it is located at the very bottom of the page, which is unlikely to be easily found. It reads: "Last updated: 2018-11-05"
