Windows will maintain its user base until schools adopt a different OS. Until that happens, Linux will keep growing into the single digits.

Stripe to take 30% cut of disputed revenue you recover

yani — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 05:16:28 +0000

Hello,

We’re excited to share that you’ll get early access to Smart Disputes starting November 2025. We’ll automatically enable this new product on your account Migration. Smart Disputes will help you save time managing eligible disputes on card transactions and recover revenue - with no action needed from you.

Benefits to you Managing disputes is time-consuming, and it can be difficult to know what evidence to submit. Smart Disputes helps:

Save time: We automatically compile evidence and respond to disputes, so you don’t have to spend time fighting them.

Recover revenue: Our evidence is compiled using AI trained on real dispute data from the more than $1 trillion in payments Stripe processes annually, to help you recover disputed revenue.

Get started with no integration required: Unlike other automated dispute management solutions, Smart Disputes is built into Stripe so there’s no extra work to integrate.

How it works We’ll notify you when you receive an eligible dispute on a card transaction and automatically compile evidence for you. If you don’t take action before the dispute deadline, Stripe will automatically submit this evidence on your behalf. You can always choose to accept the dispute or counter it manually before the deadline.

Only pay when you win If you win a dispute using Smart Disputes, you’ll pay 30% of the recovered disputed amount. If you don’t win, then no fees for Smart Disputes apply. The fee for receiving a dispute still applies to all disputes, including ones countered with Smart Disputes.

How to turn off auto-submission If you don’t want to use Smart Disputes, then you can turn off auto-submission in your Dashboard. If you opt out, you can still manually submit evidence generated by Smart Disputes once it is enabled for your account.

Questions? Please visit our support site—we’re here to help.

I've used their CDN for the past 4 years. Their pricing is extremely competitive (cheap) compared to everyone else.

Could NVIDIA be in hot water if it's proven they sold restricted hardware to Chinese companies?

Show HN: BeforeAfter – Combine and compare screenshots in the browser

I needed to combine before/after screenshots for documentation and couldn't find a simple tool that just works. So I built this browser-based tool.

Show HN: Windows NFS Manager – A GUI for mounting and managing NFS drives

yani — Sat, 11 Jan 2025 07:15:07 +0000

I built this because I was tired of using the command line to mount NFS drives on Windows.

Key features:

- Simple GUI for mounting/unmounting NFS drives

- Advanced mount settings (UID/GID mapping, transfer sizes, timeouts)

- Real-time drive status and storage monitoring

- Detailed drive properties view

- Built with Python/tkinter, packaged as a single executable

The app is particularly useful if you:

- Work with Linux/Unix servers from Windows

- Need to mount NFS shares frequently

- Prefer GUI over command line

It's open source, MIT License, and you can download the executable directly without installing Python: https://github.com/yani-/windows-nfs-manager/releases/latest

Screenshots and more info: https://yani-.github.io/windows-nfs-manager/

Looking for feedback, especially on:

- Mount settings that would be useful to add

- Performance with large NFS shares

- UI/UX improvements

Show HN: Dropnread – Prepare your codebase for LLMs with a simple drag and drop

yani — Sun, 15 Dec 2024 08:23:13 +0000

I built this tool because I found myself constantly needing to share codebases with LLMs for analysis, and manually copying files was tedious. The tool strips comments to save tokens, and excludes irrelevant files like node_modules, .git and so on. Just drag a project folder, and it combines all files into a single text that fits within your chosen LLM's token limit.

Features:

- Support for GPT-4, Claude, Gemini models with their respective token limits

- Comment stripping for common programming languages

- Configurable file/folder exclusions with sensible defaults

- Token counting

- No installation needed, works in your browser (the code never leaves the browser)

- Respects your privacy

- Open Source MIT License

Try it: https://dropnread.io

Source: https://github.com/yani-/dropnread

Tech stack: Pure JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, no build process needed.

Would love feedback from the HN community!

New comment by yani in "PayPal’s updated acceptable use policy [pdf]"

yani — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 04:42:48 +0000

> So if Transferwise and PayPal are equally bad, you might still want to give your business to the smaller company?

Actually, it is not that straightforward. One should check what kind of customer service is available, where are they located, who has access to the account and information and yada yada yada.

PayPal is a much safer choice than Wise in this aspect.

New comment by yani in "PayPal’s updated acceptable use policy [pdf]"

yani — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 03:51:34 +0000

The services mentioned have more or less the same terms of use policies. Can (Transfer)Wise lock your account? Yes Can (Transfer)Wise keep your money for 6 months? Yes Can (Transfer)Wise take money from you due to damages? Yes Also, if you want to dig deeper, look up where/who is doing their customer support, who has access to your financial records, and who makes decisions to approve measures against you. My personal experience with (Transfer)Wise - an intern with 6 months of experience (according to their LinkedIn) locked my personal account together with 4 business accounts. Why? Lack of training and a bad day at work/home.

I've seen plenty of stores selling stolen merchandise and pirated goods via PayPal so these terms of use make a lot of sense to me.

New comment by yani in "Stripe down for 4 hours (and counting) for all those with Stripe Tax enabled"

yani — Mon, 22 Aug 2022 22:48:46 +0000

The issue started 5h47m ago for us. The Stripe status page is unreliable like everyone's else status page. The Stripe API returns "An unknown error occurred". The only source of information has been Twitter but it is not very credible - 3 hours ago, Stripe tweeted that the issue has been fixed just to find an avalanche of counter replies.
