No, the revolut app doesn't have NFC payments, even on the stock google os. NFC payments are through Google pay / wallet, which is unsupported.

Revolut works perfectly for me. What kind of issues did you have? I think it does require google play services (which can be installed easily). I have used GOS on a pixel 6 for the past two years with no issues. The phone finally died on me

Good points, I've been out pedantic-ed!

To be fair (or pedantic), in this post they didn't have root, so cat'ing etc/passwd would not have been possible, whereas installing a doom apk is trivial.

The raw crypt data is base64 encoded, probably just for ease of embedding the strings. There is a decryption function that does the actual decryption. Not to say it wouldn't be easy to reverse engineer or just run and check the return,

To be fair, I wouldn't call these buzz works, maybe just "next-gen". Rather one could argue they are technical jargon? But then if the technical jargon is over someone's head, maybe they are not the target audience. I un

Just shorten the intervals. It's not a big deal. When I did yoga training in the pramayama (breath work) they started with quite short intervals, and the retention without air in the lungs was skipped at first. It's completely fin

There's this handy venn diagram that I've seen floating around for a long time. Just found a random link to it with an image search: https://gyazo.com/d8517f72e24c38f055e17182842b991c/max_size/... ISO 86

I think this kind of understanding is really important too, if speaking to native speakers of a language. You're level may be basic and not super fluent, but if you can make yourself understood you can have a conversation. But if your

libfaketime is useful for testing these kinds of things. It intercepts system calls to get the time and reports a fake time to the application. https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime

Really interesting, and surprising article though!

I can't dismiss the cookie popup on this page. After rejecting or accepting cookies it reloads and reappears. Apologies for a comment not related to the content, but it makes it difficult to read the article on mobile.

Yeah you're totally right with this use case. It feels like the information is there strewn across the internet, in forums, Reddit posts, stack overflow, specs, books. But to trawl though it all was so time consuming. With an LLM you c

Spanish after hours looks great, thanks. Do you just watch / listen to random videos or is it more structured? I am planning a trip to Mexico soon, so I have been listening to how to Spanish, and mextalki podcasts. The latter is pretty

The app is really basic, in a good way. There are no ads or unnecessary permissions. It's just a basic media player that lets you download the audio files for offline playback and tracks whan you have already listened to. I find I pret

It's not really a podcast. It's closer to courses like pimsleur or Paul noble where a teacher and student are speaking and there is pause before the student answers in which you are supposed to answer. The thing I love about Langu

Yes! Language transfer is amazing imo. I found it here on hacker news and it's probably the most effective tool I have found for learning languages. For Spanish, over the years, I have taken formal immersive classes, finished the Duoli

Yeah I think Duolingo is a great vocabulary expanded. But it's not going to get you to a conversational level.

Yeah same experience as that, and being a bit more careful around fertile times of her cycle. Was completely effective for us.

Should be ok if you rasterize the PDF. Run something like pdftotext after to be sure it doesn't have any text. Or to be safe, print it and scan it, or just take a screenshot.

I've probably listened to this 6 times today, so beautiful. Hadn't come across it before, thanks. Edit: a link for anyone looking: https://soundcloud.com/e-510-072-000/giegling-mix-07-dj-meta...

This lets you use the desktop application and a phone at the same time, which I use. It doesn't allow you to use multiple phones at the same time.

by jcul 2y ago
Signal doesn't have a web interface, but being able to use a desktop app is OK for me. The big downside for me is not being able to use it on two devices. All the other services, privacy concerns or not can now do this. It's one r

I used to do a decent bit of android reverse engineering. It's pretty easy to grab an app, decompile and disassembly it, find what you need to change and then patch the smali and recompile. It's been a long time since I looked at

Yeah I do this for some services, subscribe and cancel immediately so I don't forget. It works quite well.

On android you can choose whether to grant access to contacts. And most apps work fine without. GrapheneOS, which I use, also has contact scopes, so troublesome apps that refuse to work without access will think they have full access. You c
