I have the 15" with touch bar and absolutely love it - everything from the shallow keyboard to the brightness to the massive touchpad. Just perfect. The touch bar was admittedly next to useless u…

Wow, until this article I had no idea BetterTouchTool now supported touch bar customization. This is huge. Next to the crazy price, the touch bar was my only other gripe about my 15" tMBP - I abs…

Flagged is one thing, a previous discussion was additionally set as "dead". As far as I know that can only be done by an admin, no? If it was all an automatic thing done by the system, then …

HN admins - if you're going to shut this one down as well, could I appeal to you to at least give a reasoning why? Killing posts like these without for example dang providing at least a quick rea…
