I still have my copy of [SciLor's Grooveshark.com Downloader][1] for posterity's sake :)

That's it, thanks!

I haven't been able to find the comment again, but I am 95% certain he admitted to editing the production DB long before this incident. I think it was an IAMA with kn0thing, where they admitted something along the lines of editing the DB to fix typos in titles. Not quite as bad, but no surprise he continued the behavior.

Is there a good (for the end user) reason that Messenger does not have E2EE enabled by default?

From The Verge's article[1]:

> However, campaigners note that Meta always has to comply with legal requests for data, and that the company can only change this if it stops collecting that data in the first place. In the case of Celeste and Jessica Burgess, this would have meant making end-to-end encryption (E2EE) the default in Facebook Messenger. This would have meant that police would have had to gain access to the pair’s phones directly to read their chats. (E2EE is available in Messenger but has to be toggled on manually. It’s on by default in WhatsApp.)

> There's a feature where you can even share the login to a site on it, but they can't view the password - only lastpass can fill it up.

Is there anything that stops someone from letting LastPass fill the field, then use the browser tools to change the form field from `password` to `text`?

Okay? My question is for people who canceled their subscription and regretted it, not sure what your point is here.

I have an annual subscription that renews in March

Only 22 orders placed in 2021, and a spot check of ~15 of the items would ship "free" anyways. I don't care enough to check every single item, but of the ones I checked I could not find a single one that would have an added shipping cost.

The "2 day guarantee" doesn't really exist anymore, so I have to ask - what am I paying for?

Does anyone without Prime really miss it? Or did you cancel and regret it? Mine is up for renewal at the end of this month, fairly certain I'm not going to renew regardless of a price hike.

I've been using a MikroTik router at home for 6+ years; I would say that RouterOS is absolutely NOT "easy for a noob". It's on the prosumer side of things, but you need to be willing to sink your teeth into some fairly gritty network configuration workflows.

Anyone posting on HN will likely be able to figure out the basics, but it is definitely much less polished than other prosumer products such as Ubiquiti and the documentation can be a little rough around the edges.

I had this almost exact experience with Philadelphia Rock Gym. They sent a couple emails "threatening" to send my account to collections over $50 I did not authorize them to bill me for (repeatedly said in writing to cancel my account, they kept my membership open anyway). I just ignored them, nothing ever came of it.

Rough day to announce your next big product, for sure. Currently unable to access my business account.

I'm almost certain there are products that look nearly identical to this in Black Mirror. If not, it looks like it belongs in an episode.

I wonder if a U1 UWB chip be precise enough to detect if if the ATV has moved. Using 1 HomePod mini as a reference point, and more precision with more HomePods.

The location of the screen could be learned with some "Apple Magic," i.e. an AR setup process using an iPhone

I believe they mean it can't effectively be sold if everyone has it. It loses value as a commodity if anyone can access it, but the value of the data is still in tact.

What's being sold as convenience is really just creepy spying

At one point I did the same, until I also had to read a long random string to a CSR over the phone. Now I use real-sounding fake answers.

Which makes this jailbreak somewhat moot, for now at least. It makes more sense to buy an inexpensive Bluetooth speaker rather than risk bricking your $300 Homepod that has no data port

You could very well be right, according to this[0] post on Twitter:

> Hey @RobinhoodApp did someone forget to add isleap() to your python module? Imagine losing thousands of dollars because someone didn’t code for the leap year. It’s looking for 3/03 data and throwing errors out the ass. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ESIuB4nXYAAYImF?format=jpg

That article actually links to a HN discussion (about the same article) from 2013[0] with more examples, which does indeed point out that street numbers do not need to be integers

I had the same thought, especially since 73% of their funding is owed to the $10,000 nondescript "retail package" tier.

I can see people throwing away their money at a silly Kickstarter idea, but I have a hard time believing that not one but two "retail entities" saw this and came to the conclusion that $80 retail price for one candle is viable enough to pledge 10 grand for a mystery custom retail package.

Dumb wax warmer + smart outlet is a good alternative for anyone that likes this concept but dislikes it when their house burns down.

> I disabled the ability for websites to disable pasting using Firefox's about:config, but 99.9% of users won't know they can do this.

Have you encountered any unintended consequences from disabling this?

It's just an export mistake. Someone turned off anti-aliasing before exporting that PNG.

Is there any consensus among Backblaze employees (or even just your personal opinion if applicable) for what brand/series of drives to use for home NAS devices?

I ask because the online favorite appears to be WD Reds, which you have phased out since 2018.

XKPasswd[0] is a nice tool to create easy to type and strong passwords. I set my own config with a structure that is specifically easy to type on phone keyboards but still has high entropy.

It has a GUI and a CLI[0] option. You need a license to use either.

> Is there a market for non-free CLI tools?

Yes, the most popular example I know of is FileBot[0]. It used to be free; it went commercial a short while back. Many people do indeed pay the yearly (or lifetime) subscription for it.

> I really can't believe somebody ever bought a MacBook because they found installing putty too much of hassle.

I'm one of these somebodies.

It's not that installing Putty is a hassle, but my choice to buy a MacBook was very heavily driven by the fact that macOS is Unix based. My time spent between Windows 10 and macOS is pretty even, but it is a much more enjoyable experience to develop in macOS partly because of the Unix-based shell.
