Remembering back to when I was a kid, Scratch was absolutely fantastic, and definitely helped me put me on the path I am today. Fantastic work. With that said (and apologies on using the power of HN here), I've been trying to get in to

As someone sitting kinda on the outside of fintech/finance, it just feels like there's a lot less value add and market oversaturation these days from "hipster app with Bancorp account". I previously had Simple (rest in p

CoD games do use different apps. Steam has apps, packages, and depots. Package: the store page, the actual entitlement purchase App: the entries that show up in the steam library Depot: not really important to this discussion

My unfounded speculation is that the 3060Ti limiter (which was mostly bypassed due to an accidental leak of dev drivers) acted as a bit of a test balloon to see how it would be attacked before implementing it on the 3070/3080 silicon.

The Pentel Energel mentioned upthread is also pretty good at not smudging.

The authentication method is knowing how to fly said plane and getting in said plane in the first place. The planes that are relatively accessible aren't flightworthy without effort, and the planes that are flightworthy require violati

Because it's a group MMS instead of a group iMessage, it falls back to sending those as messages instead of sending them as metadata.

It's definitely doable. Dolby Axon (which shut down a few years ago) had positional voice chat.

But imagine telling your licensor "hey we had to put a warning that says players may see inappropriate body parts made out of Lego brand bricks". That would go over like a lead ballon.

Yes and no. Yes, it puts 1Password as the only point of failure iff 1Password security is compromised. This would require knowing my Master Password, my Secret Key, and 2FA with either my OTP from Google Authenticator or a Yubikey to open t

It's just using the accessibility privileges to look at the contents of the screen like a screen reader would, and copy the shown code. This isn't quite as advanced as "stealing your seeds".

That’s what nextDNS offers (basically pihole in the cloud). And that only works by hitting a specific subdomain or endpoint on nextdns.io. If you’re hitting cloudflare, it’s just hitting the regular endpoint so no user identifying informati

I'm actually curious on this: how broad is the coverage on say computers? This is HN, so would say a home server be covered?

I think the implication is that an unlinked and appropriately aged Github/HN account can be compromised to get 20 bucks by compromising and linking. I'm sure if someone actually reached out to @malgorithms saying "hey someone

In that case, I'm going to hazard a guess that your iCloud email address was actually compromised, and is being used to send it to every address in your contacts.

It's the problem with leaning into a niche viewpoint. You have to continue to lean harder and harder into that viewpoint as the times change in order to keep the people who also believe in that viewpoint supporting you. I genuinely thi

Bad idea in search of good idea, start with power, some sort of bumper car style power distribution system. You could do something similar to the newer floor pick up system, where the ceiling has a fine grid of + and - terminal rails, and t

iMessage doesn't even warrant a dialog in OOBE on iPhone IIRC. Not sure what pop-up you're talking about then.

Agreed. I don't personally have any Nest hardware in my home, but I do have the app on my phone for family members' home, and the app is definitely kind of meh at best. For all the backlash Google has gotten lately, it really does
