I am reading in the airport after leaving Morocco. A couple of days ago I received a weird spam SMS message (coming from an iCloud account) that i’ve never seen before. I didn’t open the messages as I know about Pegasus and my senses started to tingle.

I guess it’s time to reset my phone.

It looks like they updated the extension but previously when you searched for a entry you couldn't easily copy the password, I had to get into the entry, edit, show password and copy it manually, flow that looks to be still in the web version.

I am another long time LastPass user (2010ish) to (paid) Bitwarden convert. Simply better in every possible way. The UX/UI of LastPass is so bad, search and copy a password? Almost impossible.

I am assuming that one of the reasons they won't let users pay to opt out of ads might be because paying users are the most valuable for advertisers. They wouldn't let their most valuable target pool out of the advertiser's hands.

> That's completely unacceptable. You can still look at the bright side (you were allowed to run a company which allowed you to access US wealth, many countries restrict that to their own citizens).

Indeed, that's a positive way to look at it. I'll probably try again soon, now beside the US company I've a company in my own country, along side multiple properties (car/house) that should be undoubtable ties to the country.

> I'd advise to socialize within the consulate/embassy. Here, they have lots of events. Try to make friends with the people working there and you'll make a reputation. Don't give up.

Interesting, I'll have to look into it. Thanks!

This right here, I applied two times, first time I just knew the interviewer wont approve my visa when I saw the way he looked at me, I had a feeling I was bothering him, he straight out said no without even checking my papers, he only checked them when I told him I've plenty of "evidence" and supporting documents and he just took a glance, ignoring everything.

Second time I got a really nice interviewer but I applied at a out of country consulate (you've to apply to a US consulate from your home country) which I didn't knew at a time, he said he would've approved my application and seemed visibly sad that he couldn't help me.

I stopped trying. I've been a co-founder of a US company for more than 10 years, 50+ employees, I never been to US.

Oh interesting, I'll give this a go.

Is this a re-rebranding? I remember using something similar 4-5 years ago (instant.js/instantclick).

But quite an interesting little thing, especially useful for older websites to bring some life into them. The effect is very noticeable.

I've been looking to ditch Slack in favor of Basecamp, isn't Campfire enough to replace Slack?

Thanks! It only took me 11 years to get the courage to at least _attempt_ to ship something. And although I am no position to look for investment, as in I don't have access to a VC/investment environment, I can dedicate at least 2-3 years to the product, bootstrapping it.

With the right hardware, installing macOS is easier than installing Windows. I've been using hackintosh on and off for the past 10 years and if you buy tested hardware, installing it is a breeze most of the time, something that I cannot say about installing Ubuntu, which I do before going the hackintosh/windows route. I've had a very hard time to get Ubuntu/Arch to play well with my multiple monitors setup, including one 4K.

The biggest downside in my opinion are the updates, as they're mostly guaranteed to break the setup.

Overall, I recommend to at least try it, having a beast of a PC AND macOS cheaper than Apple can offer might be worth for some, it certainly is for me.

Again, I want to emphasize that's necessary to have the right hardware.

Oh. I could've written the same post, I am just before buying a ticket somewhere. Would love to get in touch, if that's possible.

It depends.

I've worked in the e-commerce industry for more than 10 years, not having proper fraud prevention is something that can bankrupt you. If you _know your customers_, it's easy to create a simple system that would at least notify you of possible fraudulent orders and let you take manual action. Even with the recent Stripe updates, we still see plenty of payments that go through even thought they should've definitely been caught, but because we've our own system in place, they get caught before doing any damage (and subsequently helping Stripe and marking the payments as fraudulent -- I wonder if I can get free Stripe credits for training their models using our own dumb heuristic based code).

When I work remotely, having someone "work" at the same time as me makes the situation feel less ... lonely, it's like having a co-worker :) See them work, makes me work.

Also I enjoy hearing other people code, especially the clack of the keyboard.

I remember there were some internet radio streams that had office sounds playing (at different intensities), but I do not think they're online anymore.
