If you are going to write an article about this on a website with geek in the domain name, and post it to hacker news, you are going to have to get more technical than that.
Explaining the "WIFI:T:WPA" bit would have been nice to see.
At the bare minimum a link to an article that explains it would be necessary to meet the bar.
In the current state this article is a users level how to document, and fails to met the bar for an article targeted at "hackers".
- jlgaddis 7y agoIf you are going to comment on threads on a website, how do you know where the "bar" is? By reading the "Guidelines" [0], of course! In fact, the very first item on that page is titled "What to Submit" and explains exactly where that bar is: > On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Apparently enough of us found it "interesting" for it to show up on the front page. (The time you spent writing your comment would have been better spent banging your head against the wall -- at least you might have something (a bruise) to show for it!)
