It's just a standard helpdesk application. You submit a ticket to Discord with the ID attached when the automated ID verification didn't work for you. Once the ticket is dealt with, Discord could have a policy of deleting the IDs,

That is not the system that was compromised. It was Discord's helpdesk software (reported to be Zendesk). If you have problems with that system, you can log a support ticket with the Discord helpdesk, attaching your ID, and they can ov

Apple changed the antenna design in the iPhone 4 Verizon variant, and in the 4S to really resolve the issue. That fixed the actual problem in hardware - the software fix just made things look better.

People often also overlook that you need a visa to do remote work in most countries, but that really kills the vibe digital nomads are going for.

Some debit cards don't allow offline transactions, usually when the cardholder isn't allowed to be in debt. In the olden days, you'd get a Visa Electron or Solo debit card in the UK if you were under 18 or had a poor credit h

There's no technical breakthrough, but it might seem novel to people in countries like the USA where offline authorisation hasn't been widely allowed on credit and debit cards for some time. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

If someone has a newer PC, they should be able to upgrade to Windows 11 for free. If they have an older PC, then they must have already enjoyed quite some period of the 10-year Windows 10 support lifecycle. Unless Microsoft were to go to an

They should be using Windows 11 Enterprise, where those features can be disabled easily with Group Policy.

Windows 10 has had the same support lifecycle as Windows 8/8.1, 7, and Vista (as well as Windows XP, although that applied retroactively). It very much is them following previous practice.

The World section seems to have a heavy bias towards news from the USA. The UK section seems to have a heavy bias towards news from Scotland. It looks too simplistic for me to actually use.

It's actually unclear what the cause of this is. There is an ongoing ICO investigation about privacy and handling of children's data under data protection laws, rather than this being related to the Online Safety Act: https:&#x2F

>We Brits don't speak up enough in general. They would be wrong to, given that it's legal to take photographs or videos in a public place. There is no expectation of privacy in a public place in the UK.

I can't read the original paper, but I don't see any mention of whether they are comparing 4G to 5G NSA or 5G SA networks.

The EU now requires that smartphones and tablets receive a minimum of 5 years of security updates - starting from the end of sale. A product information sheet must be published for each new device, and one of the categories included is how

Given that 5 years of support is now the minimum required for devices to be sold in the EU, Apple is now on the lower end of the range compared to companies like Google and Samsung. Apple may have done better in the past, but these other ma

Is it really noteworthy for software to reach end-of-life status on the date that it was scheduled to happen?

Isn't that just how Apple has always operated? 2004: You don't need an iPod that plays videos. 2005: Here's an iPod that plays videos.

Reducing the size of the backup would solve one problem, but it's really the lack of automation of the process that's the annoying part.

The existing backup feature on Android doesn't do an incremental backup. I just ran a backup, and it was 850MB. So having my phone upload something of that size every day would be a bit annoying. Most of the major cloud storage platfor

I'm always surprised at the hostility to Acetaminophen on HN (or Paracetamol as we call it here in the UK). It's one of the most commonly used medicines in the UK - and certainly the most popular painkiller. YouGov even did a surv

I was thinking this might be useful for locking records while users are looking at them, but that's probably better served with a periodic ping that ends when the user leaves the page.

On iOS, each app's files and settings are usually completely backed up by the OS. That means that when you restore a backup, the app should be exactly as it was when the backup was taken. That includes all files stored in the app, ac

It's theoretically possible, but a lot of apps opt out or do something that breaks it. I have to admit, it's one of the things I do miss from iOS.

I find the lawsuits confusing. If they consider Ofcom to have no jurisdiction over them, why not just ignore Ofcom? Why attempt to sue Ofcom in a court that Ofcom could claim has no jurisdiction over itself?
