    I loved the idea of Pebble watches, but I found them too bulky for what they offered. I hope the relaunch focuses on the same core functionality in a much much sleeker design.

    I've been playing with the same thing, it's like a weird mix of social engineering and SQL injection. You can slowly but surely shift the window of what the bot thinks is "normal" …

    Yeah, this is a nightmare scenario for me and why I moved off of Google Voice after using it nearly my entire adult life (shoutout GrandCentral!). Google is just not reliable anymo…

    Exact same boat here. A friend and I both bought the 2020 Intel MBA thinking that the M1 version was at least a year out. It dropped a few months later. I immediately resold my Int…

    Ugh, exactly. I'd kill to get a stacktrace of the mind.

    Yeah, I agree with the author's moral stances, but I'd fire them too.

    nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I loved this piece; sometimes I think of reviewing past memories as akin to rewatching a familiar show. There are no surprises, so even the hardest p…

    The biggest issue is that it doesn't seem like these subreddits are doing anything beyond closing down. Point people to an alternative. Not just in the vague direction of The Lemmi…

    They appear to have gone dark for the rest of the month, unless I'm missing something.

    This is where Apollo builds their own reddit clone, implements reddit's API, and starts their own competing social network. Use the ~$5/month to pay for server costs, or run an ad …

    Could it be configured so if I go to, for example, https://i.haasie.com/something.png and you haven't already backed up from imgur, you back it up when that URL is hit?

    You can use the Spotify Smart Playlists feature to do this. I used to do something similar before giving up. It's clunky, but it works. You basically set it to pull all new songs f…

    Thanks for the suggestions, it's neither of these :(

    Ask HN: Website full of single use Mac utilities?

    Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. But I remember someone on HN recently posting a (personal?) website full of single use Mac utilities / apps. Among them was a replacement f…

    Same situation. I usually pride myself on having good situational awareness, but something about the shock of suddenly having a flat on a major highway took it out of me. I replace…

    He got 30k from Instagram for the exact same concurrent bruteforce attack on their password reset flow.

    You seem to have a lot of knowledge on this, so apologies if I am misunderstanding, but aren't you still overlooking the fact that that for iCloud accounts that hadn't been used on…

    I think you are misunderstanding what he has achieved. There is a secondary attack that he theorizes was possible and patched by Apple before he demonstrated an ability to exploit …

    How sophisticated the attack/exploit may be is not the point here. The salient point is that he demonstrated complete iCloud account takeover, and Apple lists that as a $100k bount…
