I'm not a lawyer but it seems like if they booked a transaction based on a basket of goods, and then seconds later changed that basket of goods, seems like in the physical world that would be fraud

Who is their customer, what do they do for a living? Is this someone who needs to generate 50 of these for an app or something?

Ask HN: Should I wrap my HDMI/AV converter in tinfoil to protect from lightening

lando2319 — Sat, 23 Aug 2025 00:27:58 +0000

So I was in the garage and a strong lightening bolt struck outside. Not the house or garage, just outside. Somehow this caused two of my HTMI=>AV converters to stop working.

I'm going to replace them, should I wrap them in tinfoil to protect them in the future?

Example of the converter

yep I've used Devon and now Google Jules, for the big stuff, it has lots of wrong code, but it still end up giving my a much better start than starting from scratch certainly. When it all comes together it give me a 6X boost. But def fixing all the wrong code and thoroughly testing it is the time consuming part.
