I was halfway across the world when I needed to make a lot of phone calls to my bank back home. So I pulled up Twilio's docs and built this app to make phone calls and send SMS from anywhere.
I tried monetizing it by selling it to digital nomads but this kind of problem is not recurring enough or painful enough to justify them paying for it
So I ended up open sourcing it
I sue Skype for that. Setting/switching multiple CID helps to avoid stupid questions from bank staff like, hmmm, I see your are not calling from registered number...
A study about this from researchers based in Netherlands was recently linked to on HN. They found a correlation between a drop in juvenile crimes following a GTA release.
You're being overly optimistic. I wasted half a day trying to dual boot arch alongside my existing windows 10 install on a dell xps 9700 a few months after it got released in 2020. I could not even get a DE working because of some issue with my dGPU driver.
I had my fair share of driver issues with manjaro as well but it was much easier to get going than arch despite the rich wiki.
I can imagine it's easier to install on older~ hardware with no dual boot though.
I had the same experience, it’s a mentality for sure, some are open to try and test and others are not, to the point for some close family members, after failing to convince them, next time I took it to “fix” something, I sneakily installed it.
P.S. My home network had a network level blocker, but that was in case they don’t use my network or for other ads that are in the same domain.
The comment above yours gives a real explanation, where OP posits a question whether Israelis "hate" freedom of expression. This isn't a good question or observation and is something I'd expect from a 9th grader. Of course israeli's don't hate freedom of expression. Who would answer "yes" to that? OP also suggests an answer with the question OP posits-an unsavory answer given the audience of HackerNews nonethless. OPs comment was not researched, obviously negatively biased, and doesn't even have a reasonable suggestive answer.
because they're extrapolating from a few spyware countries come from israel -> does every single israeli hate freedom of press, journalists and human rights. its a pretty bad faith argument and borderline racist
anyway Israel isn't the only one selling spyware software. There are a metric ton of sellers, operators, and people just selling zero-days to any bidder
the answer to their question is that Israel is a dense, highly educated country with a lot of expertise in computer security and other technology areas. VRED is a difficult and exciting area of work, and the pipeline from gaining these skills in the military and translating it to private industry is very real. it has nothing to do with freedom of the press, journalists, or human rights
I had the same experience within an app to manage doctors appointments on iOS.
For some reason I was locked out of the app by cloudflare and I ended up having to call my doctor's secretary to move my appointment. It took 15 minutes on the phone for something that should have taken less than a minute within the app.
Even my friend who worked for that company had no way to fix it. I don't know whether to blame the app developers or cloudflare here.
I wouldn't call Linux an obscure use case, it's particularly great for workstations and old laptops that struggle with running Windows.
CryoByte33 on YouTube[0] has videos explaining in details different configuration presets to run games like God of War, Witcher 3, or Breath of the Wild.
He's also maintaining an impressive piece of software[1] that helps optimize your Steam Deck.
Worst case scenario, if you don't find the game you're looking for in his videos, chances are you will find a decent configuration on SteamDeckHQ[2]
Your service worker dictates what the browser should cache. You could cache static assets only and let the browser hit the server for document requests.
As for the refresh button, mobile users are now used to pull to refresh so you might not need an actual refresh button.
As an aside, I dig the design! It reminds of teletext haha
I've been using Mozilla's extension[0] that contains everything Facebook-related automatically with Firefox containers and it's been working great.
This morning I looked for a similar extension for Google and I've found this fork[1] of Mozilla's extension. It's working as expected so far but I'd love for it to be officially maintained by Mozilla at some point. There is an open issue about it[2].
