I’m consistently amazed by what the Hack Club team is able to accomplish – amazing launch!

I love this. Amazing work, Samay & Riley!
Sorry, should've clarified. I was referring to installing Android apps, which is currently listed as “TBD” [0].

Anbox is a great idea but it needs a lot of work to become a usable project. Currently, it's only available on a few distros, and app installation instructions are nowhere to be found.

Please do share his response, I'm curious (via response to this comment, or my contact info in my profile).
Re:Ask HN: How did your passion for computer stuff start? on Tuesday June 19, 2018 @06:10PM (#17350695)
I've been coding since I was about 10, though not well. It was more messing around with computers and playing video games. I think I was mostly interested once I discovered all the things computers could do - but I didn't know how to do them.

Around the time I was looking to get serious about coding, my friend mentioned he attended a sort of code club. I was immediately curious and looked it up. It turned out to be run together with Hack Club[0], an organization helping kids run computer science clubs internationally. Unfortunately, I didn't go to his high school (and there wasn't one at mine) so I was unable to attend his coding club. However, I could still join the Hack Club Slack[1] where I've been helped by many (and have begun to help others).

I'm looking forward to starting a Hack Club at my high school this upcoming school year, and hope many more can have the experience I had, sooner. I don't work for Hack Club but can personally recommend them.

> Malwarebytes’ post says GrayKey can unlock an iPhone in around two hours, or three days or longer for 6 digit passcodes.

So couldn't you avoid this by, say, having a longer PIN? Maybe even a password?

I would hope so too, but without _massive_ changes I sincerely doubt the general public would adopt a decentralized social network.

100%, you mean.
Well of course people want to eliminate it, but how?

Is this not at least a step in the right direction?

Nope.

If you need someone to talk to about _anything_, send me a Keybase message, Twitter DM, email, etc.

I don't have any general advice but would love to help.

Info in profile.

If you'd like to make an offer shoot me an email :)
