It's a good thing personal choice exists and you don't make the rules for everyone. > I don't see any reason someone would want to turn it on and off based on presence. Maybe someone doesn't want the noise when they a

If you care about security above all else and you have a Pixel, GrapheneOS should really be your only consideration. LineageOS has a place for those who care less about security and more about features, "freedom", compatibility, c

Sure, yes, eventually your name will likely be published somewhere on some government site and their downstream scrapers -- but at least your personal address and phone number can be kept private.

Register a company/business. Get a business phone number, mailing address, and credit card. You're going to have to publish your name, address, phone number, etc when you have an app published on the app store If you want to get a

Just isolate it on the network so it doesn't have outside internet access. There are also similar alternative devices like JetKVM, TinyPilot, etc.

This isn't really the "wow factor" hook you're expecting. It's very confusing and doesn't at all show what it is. After watching the video where you explain it, I understand and am much more interested in it.

It's like default allow vs default deny. We know one is "safer" but everyone should have the choice. Some people prefer to default allow and then they come up against a problem, decide to deny or continue allow. Some people p

Stop the FUD with those quotes. Bose does not require or "require" an app to be installed to use their headphones and I'm not sure any vendor of BT headphones does; feel free to share if that's not the case... I do not i

Their mobile app, that a merchant would use to manage their store, has no dark mode.

Still no dark mode, it's almost as embarrassing as HN not having dark mode. Yeah I said it, again. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34263628 In the time it took to write this self-congratulatory post, they could ha

Decide if you're using all lowercase or not and fix your copy. You might not think it matters, but if you can't even use the right case when describing your service / app, many people will just close it and move on.

I'm a heavy user of mosh on both iOS and Android using Termius (or JuiceSSH) as the client. It's terrific for making high latency connections feel like a normal one, roaming between WiFi, cellular, and different VPNs without skipp

Great addition! This will make the mobile apps much more usable and hopefully more responsive.

Just block them on your router using a VLAN or a routing policy -- OpenWrt has both of these features.

There's another word for "educating" people until they reach the decision you want them to. Brainwashing. You know it's completely possible that people have a different outlook or opinion or perspective on things and tha

It is a great social signal -- excellent way to weed out people or orgs I dont need to waste time with. Value real life world experience less than college? Not compatible, move on.

Sonarr, Radarr, Lidard are completely free, no ads, and private. Throw in JellyFin and Kodi and you're set -- no financial cost.

"Every few months"? Android has a yearly release to target a new API and this has been in place for quite some time, it's not really arbitrary. Do I agree with it? Not really, but let's at least be honest with the time l

So, this looks very slicky and feature filled...but where is the data stored? How is it synchronised? Chat, events, schedules, locations, flimsy claims of "privacy-focused" but there are no technical details explaining anything, e
