Windmill.dev can do that easily. You can set a cron schedule to trigger a flow that does exactly what you want. If you are not a programmer, you can pick scripts (steps of the flow) from existing list Windmill Hub library (example to send an email) and use AI for the code of your actual business logic (the database part). Apart from that, you don't have to worry about code and maintenance.

I'm not upset anymore since i ditch my iphone for an android, i'm merely pointing the corporate hypocrisy from apple.

> If I buy a phone from someone else, asking them to remove it from their account before the transaction is already a good idea, and trivial to do. Beyond the physical parts, I don't want any of their data or account info on my new phone.

Do it with the ssd then. you don't need to lock the screen, the battery or the faceid sensor. it makes no sense security wise.

I'm all in for fighting against stealer and pickpocket, but also lucid enough to know that it doesn't prevent them from stealing it. They still steal them and then sell them on internet, only for people to buy it and receive a brick. It just doesn't work.

And honestly if i get my samsung stolen, i'd rather know it's been resold by some scumbag, but still being used, than having it get shiped to india for 'recycling' into one of the many landfill site.
That approach is the current strategy for every other phone on the market.
People have been convicted of hacking for merely editing URL strings, under the theory that were knowingly accessing systems in ways that they were not supposed to. This would be similar.

Whether or not that seems reasonable to us is a different matter, but basically it boils down to the fact that "they left the door unlocked" doesn't make it legal to walk in.

Why are batteries usually glued to the body?

Wouldn't just some thin rubber layer prevent whatever movement they are trying to prevent?
I suggest a very different reasoning: we know WFH works, we also agree that in large part of the world we have enough sunlight for p.v., battery storage could be cheap [1] and FTTH connections start be be very good for modern time. Who have already understood where I want to go?

Well, we could run decentralized systems at home for SMEs/Startup common needs from modern homes of remote workers, just renting them a room with proper local equipment the modern remote worker probably already have (VMC, A/C, "the big UPS" from domestic p.v.) with not much more expenses than using someone else computer also named "the cloud". Then if/when needs mount some sheds with p.v. + local storage and good connections can pops up. Who need a CDN in such setup? Then/if a real small datacenter could born.

Are you horrified? Well, now try to see the recent history, when Amazon choose not to buy expensive and reliable SUN servers choosing cheap and crappy PCs or Google choose to save money with rackmounted velcro-assembled PCs with a built-in UPS, i.e. a naked velcro strapped one. See the history of buying cheap low quality ram because we have ECC, lo quality storage because we have checksums anyway and so on. Then think about some real recent datacenter fires and what they told about "how brilliant and safe" was their design.

Long story short: as we ditch big iron in the past, we ditch mainframes, it's about time to think ditching dataceter model as well for a spread set of small unreliable but many machine rooms at homelabs scale. This, like FLOSS gives us reliability, cheapness and ownership as well. This ALSO decouple hw and sw giants, witch is a very good things in terms of free markets. It will also force he OEMs to be flexible in their design and ditching slowly from modern crappy fats-tech also some giants deprecate [2] as unsustainable, for more balanced tech because well, such homelabs last much longer than typical ready-made PCs and craptops or NAS from the mass distribution market.

Aside from tonnes of possible security vulnerabilities, I do see some upsides:

The interconnceted-ness could make perfect sense when it comes to collision prevention. If there is a collision up further ahead, this information can be quickly propagated between nearby cars to warn and/or automatically slow down.
I do not know if this is already in use or if it was just one of those possible future scenarios with 5G. Would also make sense if ambulances could make their presence known to drivers much earlier so they can get out of the way.
Actually it was reconned to 1% of the profit after they implemented a specific feature which they then never implemented. It was just a massive PR scam.
I always remove all 'includes' in sshd config, just to be sure I will not get any surprises later...
That was a 20 megabyte page load for me even with all the ad cruft blocked...to load a game in a browser, which is already the most batteries-included application platform I can think of.
I'm curious as to what definitions of "poor" (in the most expensive housing area in the country) and "London" (where zones 1-2 have the best public transport in the country) people are using here.

Can anyone who is on housing benefit and universal credit run a car? Where would you park it, in a city where a garage costs 150k? https://www.onthemarket.com/details/15789352/

It's also one of the slowest cities to drive in: https://www.tomtom.com/newsroom/explainers-and-insights/lond... ; driving inside the North Circular is always a completely miserable experience.

I work in this field. Some notes here

"Unlike ADS-B in a plane, AIS can only be turned off in rare circumstances."

AIS can and does get turned off all the time. Different countries have different laws on this, so you will see very different patterns on where AIS goes dark. Sometimes vessels will turn off their AIS as soon as they leave some EEZ for international waters, sometimes they just turn it off if there's little risk of getting caught. As the article says, AIS is primarily used for safety measures - and is what it was designed for. But most developed countries have since started to use AIS for maritime surveillance, and have in the later years codified in laws / regulated how vessels of certain size must use their AIS transponders. VMS, which has a much greater capability in sending out data (catch logs, for example), has become more and more common.

It is also difficult to know whether or not a ship deliberately turns off its AIS transponder, or if it is in an area with poor coverage. AIS data is collected via satellites and land based antennas - some data providers also provide signal strength to give a clue. When presenting AIS data in court, we never, ever say that a vessel has turn off their AIS transponders - only present the data and some probabilities.

Bogus AIS tracks is a massive, massive problem. I frequently analyze areas where as much as 100% of the "traffic" turns out to be junk. They _can_ be pretty easy to filter out if there is some pattern of randomness, and a lot of the junk is just that - the AIS messages are just scattered uniformly around the globe, leading to impossible speeds. 99% of junk tracks are either registered as Chinese, or some micro-nations with little to no maritime activity.

Spoofing is also a problem. In my work, we've been analyzing the Russian tanker movement closely for a couple of years now, and some of the spoofing has been really sloppy - so sloppy that the public quickly noticed. This is my favorite, because it was so low effort: https://gcaptain.com/blink-and-youll-miss-it-russia-deploys-...

(if you look at the data, you'll see that they just spoofed the AIS messages with a constant speed for two week straight, going through the exact same positions multiple times).

With that said, the average of the data gives you nice patterns. There's a ton of variance due to all the fake data, missing data, faulty data, etc. - so in a day-to-day job a lot of your work is to figure out whether or not the dataset is a valid one.
Depends, it works pretty well with tablets and bluethooth devices, to the point that it killed the netbook market.

Nowadays any 14 laptop that is as useful as those Asus used to be, including technical specifications, are no longer 300 euros, rather more like 1000 euros, as the 300 euros crowd is rather happy with tablet + keyboard cover combo.
Pensions are, in general, well diversified. The tiny loss you'd get in your pension, diluted over decades of management, is practically homeopathic in strength as a concern.
Ultimately, I think this article is about having self-compassion. Yes, sometimes a little perseverance goes a long way. Yes, things are a handful of things we "have" to do. However, I appreciate that the author is practicing giving himself grace. We all start reading book that were excited about and sometimes "abandoning" the book is the right call. In that way, I like how the author of the blog post created a "stepped-away" book shelf on their goodread profile.
> I am not exactly excusing him.

> But as customer you should also not trust advertisement blindly

That’s and excuse for his lies. As a customer you should be able to trust adverticement, that’s why we have laws for adverticements. Blaming people who believe in a scam artists lies for having believed them is madness. The fact that he made games you like doesn’t excuse his blatant lies to investors and customers alike, and you really should listen to yourself and stop making excuses for him.

Yeah you're right, it would be better as a separate box next to their router.

The router was just a tempting entrypoint since every pizzeria and falafel joint has one.

If he used the correct term from the start I wouldn't have mentioned it.

It is also useful to configure mutiple IPs on the same interface, one for Colo, and one for your lab. You can do this on all OSes, even on windows.

And if you failed to do this and all advices in the article: then kindly ask colo provider to attach ip-KVM (if your "server" is not actual server with ipmi/bmc), 99.9% of places have these. And most of them will provide it free of charge for limited amount of time.
Yes! You as a user are not meant to knowingly access data that does not belong to you. Even something like changing the id from 1 to 2 is legally considered unauthorised access.

It would be different if for example the application was showing data for other customers through normal use of it, but even if there is no other barrier to access than changing an id that is considered bypassing access control and can result in jail time in most places. Now I'm not an expert in India's computer misuse laws but I am willing to wager they are not the most progressive when it comes to this kind of thing.

why read anything when you can just ask the comments and make someone else do the work? /s
Back in the late 90s/early 00s when I was a precocious teenager, I ran a somewhat popular website. At some point it made sense to just buy a 1U rack moubtable server and having it colocated (commercial webhosting was expensive then). I couldn't find anyone to give me a ride to the datacenter, so I took a bus. By the time I got there my arms were numb from carrying the bloody thing.

There was a single security guard, I signed in and he gave me directions and a big keychain. The keys opened most of the rooms and most of the cages around the racks. To this day I remain mystified at the level of trust (or nonchalance) that security guard had in a spotty teenager.
Honestly, the observation seems novel enough to me that the term discovery is appropriate. We say that Darwin discovered evolution and Newton discovered gravity. Both these phenomenon were previously observed but it took a genius to consider what they were in essence. Same with this work - look at the photographs of the mollusk, river, and onion. I would have never connected those dots.
People haven't yet got the memo that Linux syscalls aren't official APIs on NDK, and the Google way is to use Java/Kotlin userspace.

So naturally Google breaks "private" APIs whenever they feel like.
I meant evidence of them campaigning, or financing/instigating campaigns, against remote work, thereby influencing decisions of companies to implement "back to work" policies.

ETA: I agree that you did not say this was happening in your original comment, but it seems to me your comment implied that these companies were actually influencing major decisions (since that's the topic of the OP).
Interesting take. I've been in the indie hacker scene for a while and I've noticed the same trend. The "build in public" movement has definitely become oversaturated.

While transparency can be valuable, I agree that many are overdoing it, especially with revenue posts. It often feels like peacocking rather than genuine sharing of insights.

I think the key is to focus on providing actual value to your audience. Instead of just posting numbers, share the strategies that led to those numbers, or the challenges you faced along the way. That's much more useful for other founders.

As architects solving problems, it’s not about perfectly resolving every issue; it’s about avoiding the need to confront such problems.

Would be better to provide a concrete example here.
Ask HN: Open-Source, Self-Hosted Feature Flag System Recommendations?
I'm looking for an open-source feature flag system for a company with around 500-1000 employees.

Here are the key requirements:

Self-hosted: We need the ability to host the system on our own infrastructure.

Role-based access control: Granular permissions are important, so different team members can be restricted in terms of what they can view and manage.

Region-based flag management: The ability to manage flags by region is essential.

OpenFeature support: The system must support OpenFeature.

If anyone has experience with a feature flag system that fits these criteria, I’d love to hear your suggestions! Any insights into the pros and cons of the systems you’ve used would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Don't forget hearing protection! All the fans in there make it crazy loud. Facilities often supply earplugs, but consider using it with over-the-ear protection.
Apples main objective is to make tech jewelry. Thats what made their company successful, and they have no reason to switch from that. With every iPhone or Mac release, their software is still is absolute trash compared to Android or Linux (My S24 can be plugged into a display and used as a computer with Samsung Dex for example), and thats by design - people who buy these devices don't make

Exclusivity is a big part of that. They want to keep things in house to make sure that their devices are seen as "the best". If you can buy a used iPhone and get it repaired for cheap, that means that people of lower income can have these devices, which decreases their standing. Preventing this is a well known marketing strategy with luxury items, from watches, to cars, to clothes. That is why they have serial numbers/activation, not because of supply chain attacks, which are not an issue for any developed country due to mechanisms in place.
Also, confusion seems to be something of a design goal for brainfuck?
> If Apple's C-suite and a couple activist shareholders wanted to make it an eco-friendly company, they surely could.

They’re trying.

https://www.apple.com/environment/

> By focusing on recycled and renewable materials, clean electricity, and low-carbon shipping, we’re working to bring our net emissions to zero across our entire carbon footprint.

I agree that repairability is another avenue to help with eco-friendliness, but I also see the argument on some decisions (not all) that make Apple devices less attractive to theft if they can’t be used for parts. That bit is also partially consumer facing.

I don’t want to defend Apple too much, there’s a lot I dislike about Tim Cook’s tenure. But they deserve some credit (or at least moral incentive) for attempting an environmentally friendly future. The fact they’re being vocal about it means we can call them out when they do wrong too.

Microsoft, in comparison, blew its environmental goals with AI and just said “fuck it”. They pledged in 2020 to be carbon negative by 2030, and by 2024 they’re emitting 30% more than when they made the pledge. That shows how much their promises are worth: less than nothing.
They are recompiling games they do not own?

That said, this would also be good news for RISC-V if they start providing builds for different ISA than x86(32bits) and x86_64.
Even if your server does not have proper IPMI, most colo providers have an assortment of ip-kvms, you can ask for those and access your server from any modern browser.
None of those are think tanks.
If removing the battery requires an electrical current, it wouldn't be surprising if, in the future, Apple adds another layer of control, like requiring a digital signature to authorize battery removal
I don't know Indian laws. But this wikipedia page [1] gives a list of types of computer fraud in the US under the CFAA:

Types of computer fraud include:
* [...]
* Accessing unauthorized computers
* [...]

He accessed their computers to access purchase information of other people (e.g. his friend) and business data. I guess making it public, thereby damaging the companies reputation and potentially getting sued by their lawyers is one way to find out, whether he was "unauthorized" to do so.
