roemerbon Apple’s Universal Control

Regarding the Bluetooth thing, it's indeed very annoying. I've found this utility that helps: https://github.com/odlp/bluesnooze

roemerbon ConcernedApe's Haunted Chocolatier

After seeing the news interviews with him, I thought the same. He did seem a little burned out to me after dedicating his entire life to Stardew for so long. Really impressive that he still has the energy to start an entirely new game!

roemerbon GitHub Having Issues

Again

roemerbon Toshiba reports milestone in quantum cryptography

Yeah I read this the same way. The article is very vague and does not mention anything concrete at all.

roemerbon Apple will attempt to jam Facebook's web-tracking tools

Unfortunately, even if they did that, a lot of their other products would suffer as things like Assistant etc. depend on the personalised data collected from their users internet traffic.

roemerbon Game Boy Camera Canon EF Lens Mount

Haha true, but since the resolution is 128x128, you probably won't see a quality difference with a cheaper lens.

roemerbon Show HN: Airborn – Private Google Docs Alternative

Pretty cool system. Considering making a VPS for this or something. Frontend can definitely use some work though.

roemerbon Bancor Is Flawed

Oh my God... A positive comment on HN? Is this reality?

I agree with you wholeheartedly though sir. Great article. It's just like the crazy funding rounds Silicon Valley startups have these days!

roemerbon Google Bug Bounty – The $5k Error Page

Am I the only person who had to enlarge the page to read the article? Nice catch though.

roemerbon DocuSign email address database breached and used for phishing campaign

I had the same impression. Pretty sure it was their MailChimp (or similar service) account.

roemerbon Pegasus Mail

No CSS! Fantastic

roemerbon Amsterdam Airport Launches API Platform

Cool! I live very close to the airport, right under the 'Polderbaan' landing/takeoff strip. I think I can use this to write a microservice for fun that will tell my when planes are going to fly over my house, causing the earth to shatter.

roemerbon The Apple Store is down

I wonder if this is just some marketing trick where this message is somehow more profitable for them than just having the store open during this time or that their store backend is just so crappy that they actually need this much time to add a few new products.

roemerbon Gail, not Gmail

Love their image advertising pricing.

"For images, the price is 0.10 per pixel per day. So an 88x31 tag (2728 pixels) would cost 272.80 per day."
