Not surprised it's a clickbait title. Seems more and more posts are clickbait here.

mithusingh32··on Samsung remotely disables TVs looted from South African warehouse
The big difference is with Google you can disable ads for the most part with an ad blocker.

Samsung TVs however you cannot. For example I have a pihole server running on my network. I cannot use Disney+ or Hulu on my Samsung TVs. But Nvidia shield and my phone work perfectly.

Samsung injects ads into all their apps. Even if you lay for Hulu with no ads, guess what you're still going to get an ad. It won't be a stream stopping ad, but more like ads when you pause a stream.

mithusingh32··on Samsung kills the cameras on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 if you unlock the bootloader
XDA has gonna from the go to site for Android related everything. To an ad website.

If you don't have a blocker like pihole or something similar, it is unusable on mobile.

mithusingh32··on Amazon will monitor workers' keystrokes to 'combat data theft'
Maybe keylogger was too harsh of a term. My current admin told me that our Teams essentially tracks everything you do.

For example: if you use a macro tool to stay "online" on teams, the admins/managers/etc know.

mithusingh32··on FSNotes: Notes manager for macOS and iOS – native, open source
That's fair.

The syncing is bit janky if you're careful. But having a self-hosted option is what attracted me.

I don't trust anyone with my data anymore.

Have you looked into Joplin?
mithusingh32··on Tesla AI Day Event Did a Great Job Convincing Me They're Wasting Everybodys Time
In India you create your own lane.
mithusingh32··on T-Mobile investigating claims of 100M customer data breach
That's the whole problem. There is literally no one holding anyone accountable.

These corporations already expect to have a data breach. They call it "cost of doing business". And USA let's every company do this.

mithusingh32··on T-Mobile Investigating Claims of Customer Data Breach
I agree. But who is a really going to hold TMobile responsible? USA govt isn't going to do anything.

Even if a class action suit occurs, they'll just settle it. To T-Mobile, that's just the cost of doing business.

mithusingh32··on One City Saved $5M by Routing School Buses with an Algorithm
Google maps algo is terrible. Especially when it comes to toll roads and interstate highways in the US.

For example, there is a section of i95 that is single lane for a few miles due to construction. DoT has signs up saying avoid 95 and take i495 (it's a bypass interstate highway for 95). Guess where Google tells you to go? Waze is a little better because it actually defaults to i495.

I've also noticed that Google will try to put you on toll roads more often than not.

mithusingh32··on Show HN: Certificate Maker Built with GSlide, Gsheets and Gmail
That seems overkills for a "good job" or "you have completed a course" certificate.
mithusingh32··on Amazon Drops ‘Draconian’ Policy on Making Games After Work Hours
These policies suck. But it's a company policy. No one is forcing people to work there.

I always find these policies in the same vain of "x is legal, so what can't I do it without getting fired". Well it may be legal but it's against company policy.

mithusingh32··on Amazon will monitor workers' keystrokes to 'combat data theft'
If your company uses teams....you already have a keylogger installed in your machine.

The moment I discovered this, I stopped using teams to talk to my manager/teammates about my frustrations or concerns. I ask them to speak on the phone or face to face.

mithusingh32··on Show HN: Judo - Build Native App Experiences with No Code
Is the title is misleading? It sounds like it's a tool to build server-driven components for your native app?
mithusingh32··on Ask HN: What are you using to replace shared iCloud Photos albums?
NextCloud that runs in my own personal server. Been running it for a few months and I have 0 issues with it.

It may not have the same integration options but it's better than the alternatives.

mithusingh32··on Vue 3.2
I love svelte. (I'm not a vue user). But my biggest gripe with it is that you can't create multiple components in a single file like how you can in react.

I remember seeing a FR for it in GitHub for it. But can't remember where they landed on it.

mithusingh32··on Sustainable web design
I don't know if I'd put a lot trust into the ecograder. It states that my personal website is mobile optimized....I know for a fact it isn't because it's terrible on mobile (incorrect padding and margins...just haven't got around to fixing it).
mithusingh32··on Ultra Wide Monitors – A pain in the neck? (2020)
DisplayFusion is great alternative to those. I've been using for years on my setup.
mithusingh32··on Gpsd bug may create a 1024 week time warp on October 23
This brings back so many nightmares at my old job. These kind of things would creep up on us all that time and we'd spend a week or so scratching our heads in how the hell did our systems would travel time.
mithusingh32··on 10 years later and unresolved – Allow custom domains for Atlassian Cloud apps
I don't expect this to ever get resolved.

In a way this give atlassian free marketing.

mithusingh32··on 74% of recent Covid cases in parts of MA were among the vaccinated – CDC study
To stir up controversy. New outlets need any kind of story to stay relavent
mithusingh32··on Facebook Wanted NSO Spyware to Monitor Users, NSO CEO Claims (2020)
Honestly...It sounds like FANG will own NSO one way or another.
mithusingh32··on California’s ambitious fiber-Internet plan approved unanimously by legislature
This is awesome. But isnit actually going to get built? Whats going to stop companies taking the money and then see nothing being built?

What's going to stop the California govt giving contract to companies like Verizon or Comcast?

mithusingh32··on US approves first new Alzheimer's drug in 20 years
But out or those 6 million, who can actually afford it?

The US has shown a general lack of care for it's citizens health. I honestly wouldn't be shocked of this was just a way for biogen to have a massive spike in their stock so it's holders can cash out.

mithusingh32··on Voxel TYCOON: strategy game about transportation, building factories, and mining
Genuinely curious, what makes this different from the factor.io, satisfactory, etc.

I feel like the sandbox/simulation genre is extremely over saturated.

mithusingh32··on Huawei replaces Android with HarmonyOS, which is also Android
I don't think so. But it is a Chinese company so its not the first time where they basically just did a copy and replace. Google doesn't wants to piss off the Chinese govt either by trying to shut down Huawei.
mithusingh32··on Show HN: Linked, an open source daily journal app
This look great!

I've been using Joplin as a way to digitize all my notes from work and life. This actually would compliment that as a to quickly jot down things that I always tell myself "remember to look into X".

mithusingh32··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Google Photos?
If you're interested in a self hosted cloud, take a look at nextcloud.

https://nextcloud.com/

I've been using for a couple months and been extremely happy with it.

mithusingh32··on Ask HN: I (used to) love programming, but I loathe standups, scrum, agile, etc.
I was lucky to I have a great experience w/ agile and scrum. We were a bit team (~70ish devs) broken down into teams or 4-6.

Each team had a PO (tech lead) and a "Scrum Master" . The scrum masters job was to make sure managers weren't micromanaging the teams. If they had issues or questions they had to go through the Scrum Master.

Only thing we all hated was release planning because it was 1 week of trying to make managers happy with delivery dates.
