I'm doing the same thing with a Wyze Pan V3 camera that has a locked bootloader unlike many of their other models. An old version of the firmware (no anti-rollback) has command injection in the WiFi SSDs, and from then on I technically have a shell and can run commands over the SD card. Sadly, while swapping the microSD card repeatedly between the camera and a reader, it somehow burnt out/stopped working.

I really dislike Cursor out of principle but I'm guessing vibe coding is going to be the future, at least until the bubble pops.

When a trademark becomes "genericized," the trademark is lost and any other company can use it for their own products. The word "escalator" used to be a trademark and now anyone can sell escalators and market them as such.

Every person I know who uses a Windows computer uses an account with Administrator privileges on their own computer.

You can sideload without jailbreaking on iOS.

No such thing as wasting a Cybertruck.

You're making the (large) assumption that the interviews are actually relevant to the position.

Literally anything other than converting websites to images. For example: captchas, proof-of-work captchas, bot detection using techniques such as tls fingerprinting, blacklisting known vps/vpn IPs, etc.

Legally, does using someone’s art in your AI model violate their copyright?

I wonder why there are so few articles considering this happened last night. Also, it's sad how the "insider" (who probably was hacked/RATed) had his SSN and other info leaked :/

The iOS copy/paste/other actions menu is so unintuitive. 4 taps to share?

Default styles only make things harder to customize. If we didn't have so many useless/ugly default styles, we wouldn't need reset.css/normalize.css

This is not a pop-up. People hate popups because they're intrusive and have their own window. This API replaces div modals and saves time and code for developers.

Sounds like you're describing an issue, not a PR.

I believe cloudflare is just letting their requests go through and their webserver can't handle it?

They can enable a setting that forces users to complete a captcha before accessing the website. That should prevent all the mastodon requests from getting through.

Looks generic. The website is very low effort (typos and template text unrelated to your product). Overpriced. Lacking in features. I doubt the legitimacy of the testimony, and your website claims there are far more users than the web store does. Even your images have the extension's name poorly photoshopped in.

What makes your product better (or at the very least not worse) than other products? Why should people (or orgs) use this over the countless other tested extensions? Also, this is pretty niche which makes will make it even harder to succeed.

If you're going to release a product, please put the minimum effort in terms of presentation.
