The new trend is that the legitimate corporations sending you spam regardless of your communication settings, or even after unsubscribing for the 10th time.

Yes, I'm looking at you Teal HQ, you're spamming us even 3 months after deleting our accounts.

With various websites planning to introduce micro-transactions to read their contents, maybe the end-users should start charging for email deliveries.

You want to send me an email? Please give me $1 first, and if I don't like your content I can, without notice, change that number to $50 per email.

The number of files in the node modules folder is crazy, any amount of organization that can tame that chaos is welcomed.

You're absolutely right on that one. It usually starts with querying data from complex systems, and slowly morphs into a dedicated solution of itself. I started seeing a lot of OEMs integrating projects like Grafana and Metabase into their product, and LLMs is making things a lot easier for everyone to start other bespoke apps as well.

Bespoke works to a certain extend, just like having various spreadsheets with macros in them, but after a while having a standard business process becomes quite vital. Especially when other people already made the same mistakes and came up with good solutions, but also you will need talent that is already trained for these procedure. Otherwise, you may need to take the burden of training folks all the time for something that they will not be able to transfer anywhere.

Speaking from experience, it's because most systems and companies miss a lot of edge cases and standard business processes while they're trying to reinvent the wheel.

A recent example of this is, when a job has multiple shipments, there can be no single due date, e.g. 5 EA due on Tuesday and remaining 7 EA due on Friday. It's a big surprise to new comers and when you add a couple of hundred edge cases like this, SAP becomes the standard way of both obtaining this information and in a way enforcing it.

It's incredible how many applications abuse disk access.

In a similar fashion, Apple Podcasts app decided to download 120GB of podcasts for random reason and never deleted them. It even showed up as "System Data" and made me look for external drive solutions.

Most HN readers would now, but in the case somebody new reads it.

> The Streisand effect describes a situation where an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information results in the unintended consequence of the effort instead increasing public awareness of the information.

Looks like it, thank you!

Does anyone know the app they're using to sniff the network traffic?

Sounds like I should give Claude Code another try. The last time I worked with it, it was quite eager to code without a good plan, and would overcomplicate things all the time.

Not entirely relevant, but the example I remember is I asked for help with SQL to concatenate multiple rows into a single column with SQL Server and instead of reminding me to use STRING_AGG, it started coding various complicated joins and loops.

So my experience is/was a little different. Regardless, I think I should take one of my old programs and try implementing it from ground up by explaining the issue I'm trying to solve to see how things progress, and where things fail.

Could you explain how a chat session progresses, with an example if possible?

The what-why switch is quite useful, because it also helps you avoid Claude's "great idea!" responses as well.

I think the initial plan was to introduce lost-kid/elderly plan, but they thought people will be more willing to accept a pet version (pun indented) first.

Also the implementation is quite strange as well. I can imagine a version where the camera itself compares the recorded footage against a well-known database of lost children, just like the milk cartons.

And still no information about how much of the subscription revenue is shared with the content creators. Feels like YouTube is dumping all the money to shorts and other creative accounting, and giving nothing to the creators.

Recently a significant percentage of the folks I follow stopped making videos.

> Regardless, notepad is a very trusted application and is often run as Administrator.

Sorry to say this, but Notepad was a very trusted application now. I cannot believe that such a core utility has a 8.8 CVE, it sounds like a joke tbh.

They also wanted to use the popularity of Notepad, so they replaced it with an AI bloatware version instead of creating a new app with extra features.

I was excited for a moment, and wondered why the RSS feed didn't work, but later realized that the article is from 2024.

You'd generally expect a company like Lyft to pin its certificates, so it's notable that they don't. Any ideas as to why?

The illustration with the breakfast plate is a really good example.

And that's exactly why I'm waiting for the 27 series to upgrade.

Just to be playful, Tahoe killed the launchpad and brought us the random size rounded corner madness.

I still think Alan Dye was secretly fired. When you live in a bubble and everybody around you is propping you up, you think everything is fine and dandy, but users don't care about your or anybody's feelings.

Dye didn't bring something that users didn't know they needed, he brought chaos to the entire ecosystem, and he's the only Apple executive folks are willing to talk garbage about.

While we're talking about Safari, it also developed this bug where picture-in-picture leaks memory like crazy where it sometimes consumes over 80GB of RAM, gets compressed to nothing but freezes the app to the point where I cannot type anything in the address bar.

When the iOS 26 video player first leaked, I thought to myself, this has to be some kind of April 1st joke or a knock-off smear campaign or something. Nope, Apple did really half-assed their entire iOS to the ground.

They don't allow you to upgrade to iOS 18.7.3 if your device supports iOS 26.

You can add "resize: vertical" to your div style and that's it, users can resize through a small lines icon on the right bottom.

One of the iOS 26 Core Audio bug (CVE-2025-31200) is about synchronizing two different arrays with each other and the assumption mistakes that were made trusting dimensional information which could be coming from the user.

Would there be a way to resize the input/output fields?

Current layout only accepts 3 lines which is not sufficient when formatting SQL or JSON.

Over time they're going to touch things that people were waiting for Microsoft to do for years. I don't have an example in mind at the moment, but it's a lot better to make the changes yourself than wait for OS or console manufacturer to take action.
