Re:Automatic Transmission – a data-privacy study of connected vehicles
on Thursday October 01, 2026 @05:00PM (#49927021)
While the researchers noted Tesla as having privacy options that can be enabled in the car’s settings, they didn’t seem to test how this changes the # of ATA results. Would have been interesting to see how enabling privacy features changes things.
Re:Apple releases iPhone Duo simulator and Xcode 27.1 beta
on Friday September 18, 2026 @05:56PM (#49760799)
I coincidentally asked Gemini a question about the iPhone Duo a few hours ago and, while it seemed to understand that it's a folding phone, it confidently hallucinated that in "tent" pose, there would be a display visible from both sides. In reality, only one side in this pose is the display, the other side is just back glass with the large cameras.

Flight Control was very closely remade as "Planes Control" [1] and gets regular updates with new levels, etc. Not sure if the developer acquired the assets of the original, but it's very close to what I remember playing as a kid

This is awesome. I just maxxed out my tokens in Shelley, but was able to vibe code this Rails app that lets anyone register an aircraft and then fly it in a synchronized world interfaced through a Garmin G1000 knock off. Sign up (feel free to use a fake email address) and set up a flight now and let's see how many aircraft we can get going! If this is a cool idea let me know and I'll probably end up paying to continue developing this :)

So… hear me out. Could I connect this to an airline’s paid in-flight WiFi network, and then broadcast an open network to effectively open up access to all other passengers for free? If enough WiFi pirates do this on flights perhaps it would kill paid WiFi entirely (just need enough Good Samaritans)
(And yes I know there are other bypasses you can do like spoofing MAC addresses to get around some device count restrictions)
Re:iPhone Air
on Tuesday September 09, 2025 @05:04PM (#45189105)
The mmWave functionality requires a glass section on the frame as it can't pass through metals. They've redesigned this on the 17 Pro[1], but likely didn't find a way to integrate into the Air's design.
When Camera Control was introduced on iPhone 16, Apple moved the 5G mmWave antenna to pass through the back glass of the iPhone, that way it was no longer something you needed to see.
Now though, with iPhone 17 Pro – that can’t work. The iPhone is now largely made of aluminum, requiring Apple to revert to an old design technique: a glass cutout for 5G mmWave passthrough

Re:Examples of Great URL Design (2023)

I forget where I ran across it, but one interesting adoption of URL design is to make the root of the directory part of the site's domain name. I.e. there was someone's website that was shared on HN, where their name was assembled with the domain name, TLD, and some characters after the first slash:
firstna.me/lastname/

CAPP | https://capp.net | Greater Philadelphia / Remote (or Hybrid if desired) | full-time | Data Wrangler | $70-90K starting + benefits
CAPP is a leading industrial distributor. Our team is looking for an additional hire to work on a myriad of pricing and data tasks. We are currently sprinting the processing of manufacturer and vendor product data and pricing, in order to expand our eCommerce offerings and enable all of our product lines to be offered for sale digitally. We have built out tools that use Python and other libraries to help automate data inflow and processing. This position requires working heavily on data cleanup and processing, and thus requires a mix of manual (i.e. Excel) and programmatic (i.e. pandas) work. We run a legacy ERP platform and are in the midst of a major migration to a new platform with powerful eCommerce capability slated for the early fall. Over time, there is tons of opportunity for advancement and growth based on merit. If you are interested in working for a stable company with a startup-like technology team where your changes directly impact business growth and customer satisfaction, we'd like to hear from you.
Please note: Prospective employees must reside in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or North Carolina.
If interested, send an email to [email protected] and reference this post. Thank you.

There’s a cool one I’ve used called MitoSheet[0]. Runs locally and has some great features, though it doesn’t support TSV files last time I checked. It’s being actively developed still. I believe it was developed with YCombinator funding.

Re:Find My Device on Android
on Monday April 08, 2024 @02:13PM (#39972321)
I'm guessing this works exactly the same way as Apple's "Findable After Power Off" feature [1]. If the phone "dies" the battery still has some reserve to display the "charging needed" screen when the power button is pushed, along with sending location. Additionally, it can use the Find My network [2] where other devices that are powered on can relay the proximity device's location using their own location.

With Apple's Find My solution, when logging in via iCloud.com there is a 2FA bypass link to the Find My web app. If you want to access other iCloud web apps, 2FA is required, but not for Find My. A nice quality of life feature that has probably gotten thousands of people out of a bind.

It's interesting to see them fully removed, rather than adding a disclaimer. I predict that the disclaimers that sites like YouTube have implemented in an effort to fight misinformation are not that effective, especially among users who already have a tendency to distrust platforms/government.
