yomansat··on I won't download your app. The web version is a-ok
How often do you need to push app updates in practice? In theory that's a one-off deployment on the app-stores.

Slightly off-topic, surveillance Pricing is a term being used more often, whereby even hotel room prices vary based on where you're booking from, what terms you searched for etc.

Here's a short video on the subject:

Makes me sick to my stomach, this is such an evil stance as they're directly involved in the warcrimes, and deserves far more attention by boycotts.

yomansat··on Extracting Zooming Shots from 600 Hrs of Police Helicopter Surveillance Footage
It actually does, there's a number on the top-right, right of Auto. Goes from 9[1] to 154, and then 154 2.0x zoom which seems like a digital zoom at that stage[2].

They share your phone/email with lots of dealers if you request a quote and don't read the fine print like I didn't...

yomansat··on Apple Introduces AirTag
Oh it's absolutely a hack for the better-than-having nothing scenario :)

My main issue was remembering to charge the old phone every few days as I'm not in need of this regularly, so more of an occasional thing like to an unfamiliar place/country, or on a trip to Disney.

yomansat··on Apple Introduces AirTag
Stick an old phone into their pocket/bagpack, sim ideal but not required.

Connect that phone to your phone hotspot, so you can turn on your hotspot and, if the phone connects, it's nearby plus you can use Find My to track it from there, play sound... etc.

Bonus if you have access to e.g. XFinity or whichever is the most prevalent free wifi around, so your phone can come online occasionally.

yomansat··on Israel may have destroyed Iranian centrifuges simply by cutting power
I assume it's also jailing kids for peace, and stirring the hornet's nest doesn't sound very peaceful when there are peace talks coming up on the same subject.

They might have the better PR team, but for sure looking at actions rather than just words, it's clear who's the bad guy putting aside the whole typical "our ally" narrative.

yomansat··on Ask HN: What under-the-radar technology are you excited about?
Great to know, thank you!
yomansat··on Ask HN: What under-the-radar technology are you excited about?
I understand that each person is different, but how long does the therapy go for until someone becomes "immune"? I see other comments mentioning 20-30 years, which sounds a lot more expensive than having to take the medieval equivalent for just as long.

I hope I'm wrong!

Can one easily install such apps as a Chrome app/PWA, and deactivate access to the internet since it doesn't need it and one can merge personal PDFs?

yomansat··on Show HN: Monitor your internet speed with a Raspberry Pi
The discrepancy could be due to where the Pi is located as Wifi signal can vary dramatically and different chips handle things better. I thought my ISP was to blame till I tried connecting to the router via Ethernet. I got myself a 5Ghz router as there was a lot of noise on shared channels with neighbors. I went from ~15Mbps to 108Mbps.

yomansat··on Ask HN: What are your favorite books or essays written at least 100 years ago?
"Beginning Of Guidance By Imam Ghazali"

Written by the popular 11th century philosopher and jurist on topics around the purification of the heart.

This book was written towards the end of his life, where he didn't care much for what influential rulers might say.
