World first USB-C iPhone (with opensourced solution)

This is dope, someone made a solution that works like lightning and is usb-c aswell. The whole solution is tucked inside the phone body.https://github.com/kenp-io/not-for-iphone-usb-c/tree/master/ip-xBTW: the prototype is on eBay for 100'000 USD (started at 1 USD), I just hope it's not someone from Cupertino :-Dhttps://www.ebay.com/bfl/viewbids/165161363347?item=165161363347

Yeah I agree. Bad choice of words on my side.
My bad. Anyway, as a developer I think to ban anyone from using my services just because I dont like how my services are used is a stupid idea.
Was just a wild idea. Anyway, how can they check if prirai is obeying with the C&D?
Reading thru that C&D You have a win(win?). It says that You "Have stopped and will not in the future access the Facebook and Instagram websites and/or use Facebook’s and Instagram’s services for any reason whatsoever;". As soon as You get on any page where there is the famous Facebook pixel, (like cloudflare.com) You have accessed a Facebook Ad services without Your knowledge. So essentially they wanna ban You from the internet (which they cannot IMHO) or they will have to delete Your data from their database in compliance with their C&D. I'm pretty sure this can be elevated as something pretty ridiculous and maybe there will be a lawyer keen enough to protect You and kick FB in the ass for this.
Soooo many people were born on that day ;)

I have locked down one of my phones this way and it's working really nice.
I believe if in 3rd world country I would be able to sniff on GMS traffic and get OTPs easier than a regular password.
I remember some implementations of TCP/IP stack on ZX, but don't remember if it was just a plan or finished product and I think they wrote about lynx as a browser?

Being a "hackathon hacker" doesn't mean one is not a "hacking hacker" ;)
Looks like a Turtle Zofka I had in my basic school really long time ago :) Even the instructions fit! :D

I'm thinking about on-premise solution for my family, but that would involve a point-to-point calls only and LAN stretched thru all my family networks connected with VPN devices. But that is a bit overkill for Your scenario I guess...
My cell plans are crowded as I have every provider in our country. From 100GB data only for 10€ to full fledged plan for more than 60€. COVID changed nothing.
Re:Ask HN: Do kids drag your career down? on Monday May 18, 2020 @01:52AM (#23218835)
I was a long time soldier with many kids and it ended up my wife (sort of) asking me to choose between work and family. My opinion: if Your work is anything dependable, You have to neglect family to be good at work. If Your job is anything regular, "family and career" can be done really nice.

I would randomly send her made up verification codes :D
cobol, obviously :)

Ask HN: Global (local) atmosphere changes because of Covid-19

I wanna ask if someone saw any studies about atmospheric changes (dont wanna write "positive atmospheric changes") since the Wutan incident. I believe that in Wutan the air quality should go up because of 3 months of virtually no traffic (as a side note, traffic accidents should go down aswell) there are no CO2 gasses. On the global scale, less air traffic, less sea traffic and less car traffic...

I would just ignore him. And maybe everytime he leaves thumb-down I would leave a thumb-up. Every time he leaves a negative comment I would leave a thumb-down on that :)

But in general I would just ignore him....

I think we can see from history that key ingredients for a push forward were language, axe (as a tool) and wheel.

That's why I think evolution in these areas should be the the change that will transform our world in big way. Transportation as in (Boring/SpaceX/Tesla), tool as in (Boston Dynamic) and communication as in (VR/AR).

But like I said this is more of an evolution than revolution. There might be something new that I cannot comprehend and that will radically change the world. (AI?)

How about this: Internet as a service. Instead of looking for answers You will "broadcast" Your needs. Like "I need a study about cancer". And You will receive a list of sources that answered Your question. maybe with some sort of decentralised rating and maybe Country and author. How about that?
I think this is not what was the original question. A device that knows You still needs indexing service to find data for You. IMHO.

iPhone ecosystem needs XDA community. And I say this with full responsibility. Cydia is great, but instead of a store only, the fine hw should be brainstormed by a bunch of lunetics and hackers. So we could see what is the hw capable of.
