I just did get "Agent terminated early due to an API error: Usage credits are required for this model"
Hitman WoA is pretty popular and well designed stealth game

This addresses email notifications only. There is a lot of apps that would send you notifications that you want to see like your hardware needs attention but also sends some useless promo notifications
Re:DoNotNotify is now Open Source on Sunday February 08, 2026 @05:48AM (#46933164)
I would pay a lot to have this on iPhone as I'm distracted easily due to my ADHD. iOS doesn't have as granular notification configuration as Android (topics?) plus Apple probably wouldn't agree to funnel all notification through 3rd party app.
In short - BL uses much less energy than WiFi. It's harder to have speed and be battery friendly at same time.
if you want to automate pressing buton, there is something called "fingerbot"
How do we know it's not something related more to how Node.js handles I/O? Repo uses only JS

Looks cool, I'll wait for some sort of local LLM support eg ollama before buying it
Those are good tips but what to do when you are new in location and your family/friends doesn't have contacts with people that like your hobby? Joining new social circles isn't that easy for less social ones.
Yeah, I don't trust AI magic either. Very precise manual filters can run out of date quickly, "AI" can be unpredictable. Maybe naïve bayes will be a middle ground?

I use and like SpamSieve for macOS but it's limited to spam/not spam. I would really like support for more categories than two.

Telegram seems like strange choice but ok. I personally started to tinker with something similar - IMAP client which learns how you categorize emails into folders and helps with that. I started with manual rules and want to connect some optional automagic later.

I noticed that some emails are valid for only some hours and then it's in inbox unnecessarily giving that +1 to unread badge.

On other hand server side filtering works before arriving in inbox so you don't see for example, that parcel will arrive today. Next day you need to manually archive it. After 10-20 mails like that, if you are busy - half of inbox needlessly needs user action if you are into inbox zero.

Re:Ask HN: Escape from TCR? Family Shared SMS on Saturday October 26, 2024 @03:55PM (#41957275)
What I remember from my case few years ago, incoming SMS were handled to both SIMs. Outgoing SMS from my number didn't appear on second one (so shared SMS history isn't complete in that sens). I didn't use MMS. I think all those behaviors can be different, depending on provider config.
Re:Ask HN: Escape from TCR? Family Shared SMS on Saturday October 26, 2024 @03:48PM (#41957224)
Yes, I was suggesting just that. In that case, at least in EU there is an option when one number can be used on more than one SIM card. Then using second SIM slot on both phones you have access to that number. Incoming SMS goes to both number I think. Calls can be answered by any phone but faster to answer wins.

Dumbphone and number from standard cell provider seems like a simple fix. No iOS or Android necessary.
Re:Show HN: Drop-In SQS Replacement Based on SQLite on Sunday June 30, 2024 @12:33PM (#40838150)
Very cool. I needed something like this. Looking at short video in readme - I suspect adding live stats similar to sidekiq would make UI look more dynamic and allow quick diagnostics. Docs for current features are more important though.
I'm wondering when PC/laptop OEMs will see that user unfriendly Windows is scaring off their potential customers?
Re:Changes to iOS App Distribution Fees in the EU on Thursday May 02, 2024 @01:43PM (#40239101)
Even with those changes, yearly developer fee for even creating app for family is still required, right?
Re:PySheets – Spreadsheet UI for Python on Sunday April 28, 2024 @12:12PM (#40189618)
Great idea, easy to use GUI for non-tech and Pandas for data oriented at same time.

Is there some similar project but selfhosted? I would be uncomfortable with uploading health related data to external service.

I was excited when I saw the title. Now I'm scared due to this hardware and being aware of LLM possibilities and mixing it.

Hi, thanks for sharing! Unfortunately besides empty map I don't see any visualization. Browser dev console is showing some CORS errors.

EDIT: Nevermind, clickhouse.com was on disconnect's ad blocking list which I used for DNS blocking.

Re:Canonical partners with Qualcom for Snapdragon X on Wednesday April 10, 2024 @08:51AM (#39990128)
When I'm reading about Ubuntu Core, I instantly think of this situation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26464063

In my eyes Canonical isn't trustworthy or able to create good product recently, unfortunately. At least looking at Ubuntu distro. I had high hopes for many years as this was my OS when I started my journey with Linux. For some time they are consistently forcing elements such as Snaps or ads in terminal. They seem to make switching from custom Canonical janky solutions to "standard" solutions harder or remove this choice completely (like removing apt packages and installing snaps instead). User's choice and customization was the very first thing I was interested in Ubuntu in first place. Now I guess choosing Debian is easier - you just skip part of removing Canonical weird OS elements during deployment.

Re:ActivityPub/Nostr/At-Bluesky Compared on Sunday April 07, 2024 @02:27PM (#39962662)
The larger instances, the larger moderation issues.

People are only people so fierce moderation will happen. With smaller instances "blast radius" is smaller and it shouldn't be problematic like in centralized social media.

Re:ActivityPub/Nostr/At-Bluesky Compared on Sunday April 07, 2024 @02:20PM (#39962610)
ActivityPub isn't perfect but still seems better vs putting everything in one basket controlled by big corp (Meta's FB, IG etc).

I instantly recognized screenshot in README.md Thanks to this thread I now know name of software that helps bring updates to a lot of apps I use daily.

Big kudos to all contributors of Sparkle, you all make our lives easier!

Re:What's that touchscreen in my room? on Saturday January 20, 2024 @02:54AM (#39065554)
About monitoring water consumption, maybe using some webcam + OCR would help to recognize reading of a water meter? Then Home Assistant would be helpful to see charts with energy consumption etc
How it compares to let's say AdGuard Home? Seems similar https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome
Google is forgetting their roots. Maybe it's a good thing - competitors will have easier job to take search market.
Re:The new Google Fonts: find what you’re looking for on Saturday September 09, 2023 @01:08AM (#37442469)
linux package is downloaded once or every upgrade by generic http client, not that frequent vs when loading lot of different pages which use Google Fonts and gives some info from browser
