For search, use Kagi. You don’t have to use their AI products at all to just use search.
bluetidepro··on Trae: AI Code Editor from ByteDance
Copilot doesn't have full repo/project knowledge like this/Windsurf/Cursor, that's the biggest benefit of these AI specific VSCode forks. These AI forks can edit and take context from your entire project folder. Copilot currently only looks at the specific open file you have, and does not have full project knowledge.

bluetidepro··on Exploiting McDonald's APIs to hijack deliveries and order food for a penny
All that work for ONLY a $240 Amazon gift card is absolutely wild to me. It still surprises me that people choose not exploit these things when these mega corporations basically award them pennies for finding major vulnerabilities like this.

bluetidepro··on Show HN: Stretch My Time Off – An Algorithm to Optimize Your Vacation Days
As others have said, I would love to see more variations to show “options” on ties, and also have more customization around holidays. Not just show/hide but adding and removing custom dates would be great!

Make one for the NFL, please! I can’t stand how hard it is to get scores on their website. Haha
bluetidepro··on Show HN: I made a Bluesky video downloader that can download videos from Bluesky
Off topic but related… With so many ways to get around downloading videos/media like this for example, I will never understand why companies don’t just allow videos to be saved like a picture. Add a simple download button to make it obvious and simple for users to download a video. For example, Tiktok has this, and just adds their watermark to the downloaded video.

It’s just a false sense of security to users when they think people “can’t” download their content. Even apps like Snapchat that are marketed to be “save proof” are def not. I think it’s a betrayal to the user for any company to pretend a user’s media is “safe” from downloads/screenshots/etc.

bluetidepro··on Why is Apple so bad at marketing its TV shows?
> "...but part of the issue is that their shows just aren't that good..."

Hard disagree from a personal view. Also statistically, I don't think you can strongly claim this since many of their shows have lots of awards if you go off that metric. I haven't done the calculations but I would guess that their content to award ratio is even higher than many other networks.

bluetidepro··on Why is Apple so bad at marketing its TV shows?
Whatever the reason may be, the article outlines a few possibilities, I do agree there is a ton of great content on Apple TV+ that people are sleeping on. I recently watched "The Morning Show", "For All Mankind", and "Presumed Innocent." All were absolutely incredible shows, and none of my friends had heard of them (people who are usually very up to date with shows) furthering that their marketing is not the best for their tv content. Ted Lasso seems to be the only show of theirs that I've felt like broke through all the noise and is most widely known.

However, I do think they have been marketing their movies a lot better. One the new movies "Wolfs" with Brad Pitt, and George Clooney had billboards all over my city. I know many people that did watch that the first week it came out.

> I'm happy if it contributes to the death of the org.

But the not the death of your data. That will be sold onto someone else.

bluetidepro··on How to delete your 23andMe data amid the company's turmoil
Oh nice, "~$30M to settle." That <$100 you get back in the class action will be amazing compensation. Sadly the legal route is a joke at this point.
bluetidepro··on How to delete your 23andMe data amid the company's turmoil
100% this. It's laughable if you believe those requests work as expected. Sure they may "delete" some surface level bs like your account or login, but there is no way it's 100% scrubbed in the way it's supposed to work.
bluetidepro··on American WWII bomb explodes at Japanese airport, causing large crater in taxiway
Slightly off topic but when I read the headline, I assumed "large crater" would be much more large than you see in the picture. The article reports "7 meters (23 feet) in diameter and 1 meter (3 feet) deep." For a bomb that doesn't seem that "large."

Luckily no one was hurt or nearby when it went off.

bluetidepro··on Two in three shoppers won't buy products in locked display cases
Yeah, I have no doubt about this stat for an impulse item. I agree that I wouldn't wait on an impulse item. But for an item you "need" or specifically came for, I don't believe anyone would not wait.
bluetidepro··on Two in three shoppers won't buy products in locked display cases
> For 55% of respondents, it’s a lost sale, because when a product is locked up, they try to buy it elsewhere.

It's wild to me that someone would rather go back to their car, drive somewhere else, HOPE it's not locked up there also, and THEN finally purchase the item at the new store instead of just waiting for someone to come unlock it at the current store you're at. I've personally never had to wait more than a few minutes for someone to come unlock a locked display. I find it very hard to believe anyone would rather add 30+ mins to their overall trip than just wait at the current store.

My hunch is 2 things:

1) This is a case of "wishful" thinking rather than what they actually do. For a survey like this, people probably just unintentionally lied rather than what they would ACTUALLY do (wait for it to be unlocked).

2) The study would be much more accurate if you could actually somehow track what they did rather than just survey them on what they think they would do.

Also, I could see this being a case of not purchasing impulse items. However, if you go to the store for toothpaste that you need, and all the toothpaste is locked up, then again, I find it hard to believe you don't wait.

As someone else said in another comment: "What people say they won't do and what they actually won't do are not the same thing"

bluetidepro··on AirPods Pro 2 adds 'clinical grade' hearing aid feature
It's annoying but nothing is stopping you from buying them, trying them on, and then returning them for a full refund a min later if you don't like them.

That's wildly expensive for how easy it is to manually do this.

bluetidepro··on Spotify won't open-source Car Thing, but starts refund process
The title should be updated to say they may refund, it's not official, as stated in the article. A bit misleading.

> A Spotify spokesperson declined to confirm to Ars if Spotify would offer full refunds to everyone who showed proof of purchase or if there were further requirements. The representative said that owners should contact Spotify via the above link about refunds.

> The email doesn't explicitly guarantee refunds, though...

bluetidepro··on [dead]
Slightly off topic, but generally related: Project 2025 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025) is enough to not vote for this mad man (or any Republican for that matter). It's legitimately terrifying. Now you can also just add this article to the other 100's of reasons.

I think the new design is great, honestly. Not sure why there is a huge uproar.
bluetidepro··on New Windows AI feature records everything you've done on your PC
I can’t imagine they launch this feature without a way to disable it. Or if they are that crazy, I imagine someone will write some script that blocks it.
