Uninstall the NightOwl app
- I_am_tiberius 3y agoAs a side note I want to mention that I use Night Shift on mac os and every day!!! I need to switch it back on because there is no option to leave it enabled all day long.
- andrethegiant 3y agoI have it set to a custom schedule that starts at 4am and ends at 3:59am, effectively leaving it enabled all day long.
- I_am_tiberius 3y agoI have it set this way as well. But as I'm living a rolling day:), I often experience the light suddenly going on, so I have to reset it again.
- linuxdude314 3y agoWhat are you talking about? The whole point is you leave it on and it tracks the sun. Does this not work for you?
- I_am_tiberius 3y agoYes, this works. but I want to have it enabled constantly because I like my screen that way.
- spectre3d 3y agoAre you talking about Night Shift, to change the white balance of your screen to be more yellow, or Dark Mode, which can be turned on permanently without scheduling? It sounds like you’re trying to schedule Dark Mode to stay on all the time, which can be accomplished by choosing “Dark” in System Settings-> Appearance in Ventura or later, or in System Preferences-> General in Monterey or earlier. https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT208976 https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT208976
- I_am_tiberius 3y agoNo, I'm talking about Night Shift.
- spectre3d 3y agoThanks for clarifying! You can modify your display so it looks that way all the time by changing the white point. Most designers use 6500K but you probably are looking for something near 3500-4000K. You can do this by calibrating your monitor to create a new custom display profile. Hope that helps! https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mchlp1109/mac https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mchlp1109/mac
- I_am_tiberius 3y agoGreat, thank you!
- I_am_tiberius 3y agoComing from Linux, I also have to say that I was shocked how many apps on mac os are only available as closed source.

- runlaszlorun 3y agoWas expecting a clickbait article. No sir! Great piece.
- andrewfromx 3y agowow and this is built into macOS now as NightShift right?
- txr 3y agoYes, the OS function works fine. Haven't used the app in a while, just had it still installed. I just found this by searching for "proxy-gw1-europe.squidyproxy.com" which seemed odd when I found it in my .ssh/known_hosts file.
- andrewfromx 3y agoah, i just used squid on my own linux server recently for a weird use case. A client of mine gave me access to https://foo.com/thing https://foo.com/thing only from one ip. And I didn't want to give them my normal desktop ISP ip because it changes so I gave them my static cloud linux VM ip. But it has no gui. So I wanted to use the webapp from my desktop. I installed squid and set it as my proxy server and did tail -f thelog and OMG the amount of requests just my normal browser makes to all sorts of weird stuff!
- eyelidlessness 3y agoNightShift is different (but somewhat related) functionality: it adjusts the color profile to be warmer/reduce blue light. Both can be scheduled to correspond to time of day[light] however.
- txr 3y agoOh right, got that mixed up
- walthamstow 3y agoMacOS pulled it for me, refused to open it Replaced it with NightFall https://github.com/r-thomson/Nightfall https://github.com/r-thomson/Nightfall
- seemaze 3y agoYou can also put display settings directly in the menu bar using: Settings > Control Center > Display > Always Show in Menu Bar I'll concede it takes a second click to toggle dark mode, but you also have night shift as an option, and it's 100% native.
- K7PJP 3y agoThis option wasn't available in 2018, when NightOwl was released. I had to test our application's Dark Mode implementation and NightOwl was super-useful then. I'm glad Apple made it easier to toggle dark mode in the interim.
- radicality 3y agoAnother very simple way is to make your own thing with the default Automator app. * open up Automator and create new application * select “change system appearance” and select toggle light/dark mode. * save the ‘app’ Now, whenever you want to toggle light/dark mode, just open up spotlight and open up whatever you named the app. There’s probably a way to do it with Shortcuts too.
- princevegeta89 3y agoIf toggling between modes is all that is needed, it can be done right through BetterTouchTool. I just assigned a right-click+option+cmd globally for it and it works like a charm
- kstrauser 3y ago"WHEREAS, NightOwl app enables Users to share internet traffic by modifying their device’s network settings to be used as a gateway for internet traffic. Additionally, the User’s device acts as a gateway for NightOwl app’s Clients, including companies that specialize in web and market research, SEO, brand protection, content delivery, cybersecurity, etc." Fuck that with a chainsaw. Burn it. Burn it with fire.
- barbazoo 3y agoI guess "modifying their device’s network settings" is already covered under whatever permissions we had to give it to perform the original task of switching on/off dark mode? That's a bummer. Would be nice if app permissions were more granular if that's the case.
- WirelessGigabit 3y agoAnd this is the risk that operating system developers run when you take away features or you don't develop features that your userbase wants. Look at the amount of Start Menu modifiers there are out there for Windows. All because Microsoft keeps on changing the start menu. Why? I don't know. I just want to get rid of the Recommended section, but I'm not allowed to.
- qwerpy 3y agoLast night I got a notification that advertised Game Pass to me. I angrily clicked on manage notifications and there’s a notification source called “Suggested” that somehow was turned on. That was the last straw for me. I go through so much diligence setting up my browser’s ad block, only for the OS to bypass all that. For now “Suggested” is turned off and I disabled all notifications for good measure, but I don’t know how much longer Windows will allow that. I don’t intend to find out.
- crazygringo 3y agoSo, usually I associate super-shady things with hiding the fact that they're super-shady. I'm thankful, but also genuinely curious, why they put this explicitly in their TOS. It just kind of seems to be like the kind of person/org who would implement this shady stuff in the first place, would also actively hide that they're doing it. Is there a legal reason that protects NightOwl by explicitly putting it in the TOS? E.g. does this prevent them from being sued for any of it, where they could have been successfully sued otherwise? Like it's technically do to all this shady stuff but only as long as it's in your TOS?
- mschuster91 3y agoI hate silent takeovers so much. Chrome developer extensions are another very popular thing for bad actors to buy out and replace with malware, and it sucks.
- 1970-01-01 3y ago>I hate silent takeovers so much. This is a great app idea. Monitor the app owner. If the owner changes overnight, alerts to the moon.
- haolez 3y agoThey would just change the acquition details to avoid changing the owner and giving the account credentials over instead.
- 1970-01-01 3y agoYes, maybe. In this case, it would be a very actionable alert.
- agnosticmantis 3y agoUntil we learn that this monitoring app has itself been acquired. /s
- runlaszlorun 3y agoOr if the browser companies themselves were owned by large corporate behemoths! Wait…
- devrand 3y agoObviously don't narc on yourself!
- lapetitejort 3y agoWho watches the watchmen?
- bbor 3y agoJust want to say: amazing write up. I hope to write like this some day.
- ajkjk 3y agoThere's gotta be some law that could be passed about stuff like this. Software should have an implicit contract that it does what it says and not something wildly different than it, with harsh penalties for violations.
- runlaszlorun 3y agoWe should all have our own EULA’s that they implicitly agree to… lol. I should start doing this with big websites. And of course my EULA is a 10MB file I’ll send with every request until they accept… :) Can you imagine if that caught on? DDOS by EULA!
- cpmsmith 3y agoCommon licenses specifically go out of their way not to imply such a contract. This is the start of the all-caps portion of the MIT License [0]: > THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO […] FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE …and the GPL has nearly the same text in section 15. [1] [0]: https://opensource.org/license/mit/ https://opensource.org/license/mit/ [1]: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html#section15 https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html#section15
- ajkjk 3y agoYeah, but also common licenses are set by the distributor. (which they're also evidently free to secretly change?) I want the other side of the deal: a default license implicit in the existence of software that can't be traded away without an explicit contract that involves something like an exchange of money, which a federal agency will safeguard against violations of. If an extension changes its behavior nefariously people should go to jail. If Google safeguards an extension that changes it's behavior nefariously then Google should go to company jail. (or, like, be fined and forced to comply). (admittedly, this is hopeless idealism. But still.)
- HWR_14 3y agoIt wouldn't be that hard to make free open-source software not subject to the same rules.
- cpleppert 3y ago>> It is an alternative to the built in macOS automatic mode which only switches when the user steps away from the computer. Huh? Setting a schedule/location for nightshift and setting the dark mode setting to auto will always change instantly. If you use a launcher or spotlight then a simple one line applescript can change the setting as well. (tell application "System Events" to tell appearance preferences to set dark mode to not dark mode).

- bertil 3y agoI had to google to check, and I’ve found so many interpretations that I feel like a linguist would have a field day with that word alone.
- linuxdude314 3y agoNo it’s not and its use should not be perpetuated in this context. It’s definitely the homophobia you are perceiving. No one misses the edge lords of yesteryear.
- stjohnswarts 3y agoI haven't heard anyone using that homophobic edgelord word in probably a decade. Maybe a time traveler?
- 3y ago
- frizlab 3y agoI did a small Automator action that just switches dark mode on my computer, and I activate it with the cmd-alt-shift-P hotkey; it’s truly convenient and there’s no need for a third-party :)
- icyfox 3y agoI know this happens with some frequency, I wonder how frequently the companies update the TOS with language like this. The very idea of a self-updating TOS that will govern all usage into perpetuity feels like it should have been legally stuck down years ago. This company's current language on indistinct modification rights: > We reserve our right to alter the terms in this Agreement and/or the pricing information and method detailed in NightOwl app's website at any time. In case the Agreement is amended as described, we will post an updated version of it in our website, at which time it becomes active and binding. > In case NightOwl app alters the Agreement in a way which will be deemed material to the relations and/or obligations of the parties by NightOwl app's sole decision, we will inform you of these changes on our website or via our social media accounts and other established communication channels. Great, a website update for a locally installed application. Definitely going to subscribe to your social feed to get an update.
- burkaman 3y agoIt has been struck down and probably would be again if anyone felt like suing: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2007/07/court-says-no-to-changing-terms-of-service-without-notification/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2007/07/court-says-no-to..., https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=5925834191658507423&hl=en&as_sdt=6&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=592583419165850... > [Safeway] reserves the right to, from time to time, with or without notice to you, in [Safeway's] sole discretion, amend the Terms and Conditions for use and purchases regarding the online shopping services. Any amendment by [Safeway] will be effective only as to orders you place after [Safeway's] revisions of these Terms and Conditions as displayed on the Web site. [Safeway] will plan to notify you of any material amendments to these Terms and Conditions; however, it is your responsibility to review the Terms and Conditions before submitting each order. [Safeway] has no responsibility to notify you of any changes before any such changes are effective. > Defendant argues that, at the time of their safeway.com registration, Class Members agreed to give Safeway the authority to change the terms of the contract without notice to them, by indicating that they agreed to the version of the Special Terms that are in effect at the time they make their subsequent orders. Defendant's version of the Special Terms states that customers agree to the terms "and the form in which they appear at the time your online transaction is processed." ECF No. 187 at 16-17 (emphases added). In order to complete their registration, Customers were required to manifest agreement to the Special Terms shown to them by clicking a link. Defendant contends that, as a result of users' agreement to this Special Term at the time of their registration, Safeway was not required to notify customers of future changes to the terms for those changes to become effective. Safeway contends that, because Class Members read the initial registration contract, every time they opted to go forward with an online purchase after registration, they were on notice that they were assenting to a new contractual agreement, governed by the Special Terms operative elsewhere on the website at the time of that purchase. > The Court rejects this argument. The safeway.com agreement did not give Safeway the power to bind its customers to unknown future contract terms, because consumers cannot assent to terms that do not yet exist. A user confronting a contract in which she purports to agree to terms in whatever form they may appear in the future cannot know to what she is are agreeing. At most, this term in the safeway.com agreement could be read to indicate that a customer agrees to read the terms and conditions every time she makes a purchase on the website in the future. But the Court also concludes that, even in light of their agreement to the Special Terms at the time of registration, customers' assent to the revised Terms cannot be inferred from their continued use of safeway.com when they were never given notice that the Special Terms had been altered.

- jeroenhd 3y agoPrinter companies sabotage printers. If you go through the standard Windows route (Devices > Add > Printer) you'll get most printers working quickly and reliably. In fact, if you plug in a USB cable, the printer will most likely Just Work (TM) after a few seconds of driver fetching. They want you to use their shitty apps and shitty software, though. HP is the worst at this (they cover up the USB port, and will only allow you a limited amount of prints before you need the activate the printer through an app). Windows has plenty of printer problems (like its print spooler that needs a serious security overhaul which would break loads of printers) but the worst of it only seems to show up if you follow the manual and install the crapware, including apps, that printer manufacturers want to shovel onto your devices.

A nice departure from the usual ‘pad it out’ approach that sadly you even see people take for their personal writing. So many people will lament recipe authors including 6 paragraphs of preamble, but will happily do it when they’re telling you about how they pwned their toaster or whatever. When it gets down to brass tacks, I.e. the technical details section, it could really do with a once-over. One too many run-on sentences.

Each line was indented two spaces: #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf( "Bonjour, totes le monde!\n" ); return( 0 ); } Looks like it worked. It looks like it's rendering with a mono font.

A number of backdoored (by the creator, by someone cracking into their source repositories, or in this case by buy-out) free browser extensions, VPN apps, and such, turn the user's machines into a proxy like this.
- hoofhearted 3y agoNordVPN does this as well. Google and Amazon own large blocks of IP ranges for their cloud services, so it’s fairly easy to detect bots built on AWS and Google cloud. On the other hand, Verizon also owns a large block of IP addresses that they give out to their residential customers. NordVPN takes advantage of the fact that people like Netflix and Amazon don’t want to block out Verizon’s ip ranges, and disguise network traffic as residential traffic.
- otterley 3y agoDo you have a link to more information somewhere? I'd like to know more about what NordVPN is doing, if true. It's certainly not what their customers expect.
- dingosity 3y agoI agree with you if you're talking about tech savvy users. But I think NordVPN has enough users who don't know what's going on under the hood that they might not understand the implications of forwarding potentially copyright-hostile packets.

- deviantintegral 3y agoIt looks like Apple has revoked the developer certificate. Anyone know if there's a public log somewhere showing when it was revoked? The app was blocked from loading, but I still saw the two dylibs running. I wondered if it was because the certificate was revoked after they had already started. However, logging out and back in still showed them running. Perhaps they're persisting through log outs? As well, I got a prompt from the macOS firewall to allow the mentioned AutoUpdate binary to listen for connections. That makes me think all of this was deployed in the last few days. Edit: A reboot gave me the `“NightOwl” will damage your computer. You should move it to the Trash.` dialog. Allowing that did not fully clean things up (leaving a non-functional `/Users/*/Library/LaunchAgents/NightOwlUpdater.plist` in place and the usual preference files). For me, Hazel cleans those up. I think for non-technical users who may not be familiar with the terminal would be to direct them to reboot.
