New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Why I rarely see game dev startup here?

Ask HN: Why I rarely see game dev startup here? 3 by blindprogrammer | 1 comments on Hacker News. Do investors despise game development companies, and do you have to go solo? If so, I would have expected to see at least one on Show HN. Or maybe I missed it—definitely not as popular as other apps. Also, why haven’t LLM wrappers penetrated this sector? Is it because OpenAI and other “parasites” haven’t had the opportunity to access source code to build their wholesale theft, so they don’t have the code to instruct you to build games?

Tell HN: iPadOS 26 bricked my iPad Pro 4 by designerbenny | 0 comments on Hacker News. iPadOS 26 bricked my 6th generation iPad Pro 12.9". About a week after the official update launched, I updated my iPad to the new ipadOS. Afterwards, my device began to get incredibly hot even at idle.

Ask HN: Is Udacity now geo blocking countries? 2 by estebarb | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm located in Costa Rica, and in the past I took in the past 3 nanodegrees there. Today I was checking the verification link and to my surprise I'm getting a geoblocked response, both on the verification links and even signing in to my udacity account. Someone knows if this is a temporal issue, or a really strange comercial decision of the company to avoid having customers? Afaik Costa Rica is not under any exports restriction list (or I should be worried?). Even Accenture has a lot of employees in the country.
