I had this experience too. They beep like this if they're not near an updated iDevice logged into your account. You'll have the same problem if you do something like: set the AirTag up on an iPad, but then carry around with an An

There's an inherent conflict between use as a theft tracking device, and use as a stalking device. Both situations are pretty indistinguishable. Apple is prioritizing reducing the AirTag's utility to stalkers.

What you've described sounds a bit like the very new https://exe.dev service! Which I discovered on HN just weeks ago.

Would love a SMS provider that was simple to use. Have used twilio in the past and every time I come back it, it feels like they've added yet another layer of abstraction to the process. But I suspect that spam and abuse means that b

Plenty of home runs all electric heating systems. Running inference on a H100 could be dual-purpose and also heat your home! (albeit less efficient than heat pumps, but identically as efficient as resistive heating)

I definitely think it's a viable idea! Someone like Hackerone or Bugcrowd would be especially well poised to build this since they can look at historical reports, see which ones ended up being investigated or getting bounties, and use

A huge chunk of that 3-4GB is large files that have minor changes. Time Machine doesn't have any sort of delta support so backups the entire file again, like my local Messages or Contacts database. But I think slowness is caused by fi

Also consider putting a security.txt[0] file on your main domain, like here: https://opencode.ai/.well-known/security.txt I also just want to sympathize with the difficulty of spotting the real reports from the noise.

I have a great time using my G502 on macOS, but I absolutely rely on SteerMouse to configure its behavior.

I backup ~3-4GB a day with Time Machine to my local NAS and it takes less 10 minutes. Albeit it should take 30 seconds if it was maxing out the network speed.

My guess is they fixed whatever weakness in their rate limiting allowed an attacker to automate requesting millions of password reset emails. The fix could be as simple as adding a new CAPTCHA to the password reset flow.

TIL that js_func`string` is valid JS and calls `js_func` as a tagged template literal, passing it a TemplateStringsArray. Going to use "console.log`weeee`" in my code now.

I assume the bank apps have functionality that their websites lack. Like being able to tap to pay for things, etc. Where a rooted phone might make fraud easier. If not, then this really makes no sense.

It's not an all or nothing permission. How I use claude code it has to ask me for permission for every CLI tool use. This seems like reasonable way to balance security with utility and would allow the agent to correct itself when it h

They don't let you delete credit history data unless it's incorrect. But you can freeze it.

by varenc 10mo ago
update: Looked it up and this seems right. The credit bureaus have specific exemptions in the Delete Act, specifically because they're already covered by the "Fair Credit Reporting Act". But it does apply to adjacent "p

Credit checks, and the 3 big companies that do it, are already pretty regulated. I don't think they're counted as data brokers that'll have to comply with Delete Act. Can anyone confirm?

Excited to see this! Because completing the CCPA "delete my data" process for 300+ data brokers just isn't feasible. Though I wonder what the second order effects of this might be. Imagine a service that vets tenants for land

Is Apple actually letting the Mac burn to the point at which it has damage or other negative consequences? I've definitely observed they delay the fans until they're absolutely needed, but I trust their thermal management to not a

Appreciate you not following Tailscale's authentication many SSO provider approach. It makes sense for teams/business, (Tailscale's customers) but creates some confusion and extra friction for casual homelab users like me. I

Would love it if Tailscale came pre-installed! Or even better: some simple way to make it so every VM I start up is automatically/easily part of my Tailnet. p.s. thanks for making Tailscale. And I'm loving exe.dev so far!

Took a bit, but now I'm in! So far, loving this service.

Just setup an account and started a VM, but it's hanging when trying to access it while waiting on the public key response. Web based terminal not loading either. Guessing the site is getting the hug-of-death from HN users?

Ah, so true. That's what i mean! Cross domain requests that pass along the target domain's cookies. As in, probably every cookie would default to current __Host-* behavior. (and then some other way to allow a cookie if you want. A

If an attacker has a user's private authentication token, usually stored in a __Host prefixed cookie, then it's game over anyway. CSRF is about protecting other sites forcing a user to make a request to a site they're authent

hah, 2nd time in the last couple months I've been compared to that LEGENDARY Dropbox comment... In my defense, I'd argue that the average Tailscale user would be comfortable running an SSH command! And GL.iNet is just one very min

It likely relies on the travel router cloning the MAC address of your phone or whatever you use to authenticate. That way the hotel just thinks the travel router is your phone.

by varenc 10mo ago
Tailscale running in subnet router mode on a GL.iNet router comes close. You can setup Tailscale through the GL.iNet GUI but to have it also route traffic for everything over to your Tailnet you need to flip one setting via an ssh command.
