Remembering back to when I was a kid, Scratch was absolutely fantastic, and definitely helped me put me on the path I am today. Fantastic work.

With that said (and apologies on using the power of HN here), I've been trying to get in touch with Scratch support to have an old account of mine deleted, but I can't ever seem to get a reply. Would you happen to know who to get in touch with, other than the contact form?

As someone sitting kinda on the outside of fintech/finance, it just feels like there's a lot less value add and market oversaturation these days from "hipster app with Bancorp account".

I previously had Simple (rest in peace), and was totally okay with it, but it clearly wasn't worth it to BBVA/PNC. I went to SoFi just because they're making moves to get their own charter, rather than sitting with Bancorp.

Now you've got Robinhood, Credit Karma, Chime, etc etc all running Bancorp backing accounts so really there's no fundamental difference between any of them.

CoD games do use different apps.

Steam has apps, packages, and depots.

Package: the store page, the actual entitlement purchase

App: the entries that show up in the steam library

Depot: not really important to this discussion

They're just spongebob texting "gamer".

My unfounded speculation is that the 3060Ti limiter (which was mostly bypassed due to an accidental leak of dev drivers) acted as a bit of a test balloon to see how it would be attacked before implementing it on the 3070/3080 silicon.

The Pentel Energel mentioned upthread is also pretty good at not smudging.

The authentication method is knowing how to fly said plane and getting in said plane in the first place.

The planes that are relatively accessible aren't flightworthy without effort, and the planes that are flightworthy require violating federal law (in the US) to access them.

Because it's a group MMS instead of a group iMessage, it falls back to sending those as messages instead of sending them as metadata.

It's definitely doable. Dolby Axon (which shut down a few years ago) had positional voice chat.

Yeah, they're all covered with safety covers to avoid bumping.

But imagine telling your licensor "hey we had to put a warning that says players may see inappropriate body parts made out of Lego brand bricks".

That would go over like a lead ballon.

Yes and no.

Yes, it puts 1Password as the only point of failure iff 1Password security is compromised. This would require knowing my Master Password, my Secret Key, and 2FA with either my OTP from Google Authenticator or a Yubikey to open the vault on a new device, or knowing my master password on a device that I already have 1Password set up on.

On the flip side however, for anyone who _doesn't_ know I use 1Password (oops), any credential stuffing attack or password leak is not likely to get anywhere, as they're not going to be attacking my 1Password vault.

It's just using the accessibility privileges to look at the contents of the screen like a screen reader would, and copy the shown code. This isn't quite as advanced as "stealing your seeds".

That’s what nextDNS offers (basically pihole in the cloud). And that only works by hitting a specific subdomain or endpoint on nextdns.io.

If you’re hitting cloudflare, it’s just hitting the regular endpoint so no user identifying information.
