A working microphone and recording software and hacking tools like aircrack-ng on an otherwise stripped-down OS image...

Vendor BSPs are horrible, it would not surprise me if tools like that were included with it.

I used one that included everything in C:\Users\<actual dev's name>\Desktop in it.

Was it made in China?

Aren't virtually all SBCs made in China?

I was referring to Board Support Packages

The implication is that the death toll is under-reported due to the disruption of the means by which those deaths would be reported and logged. In other words, those thousands of deaths are just the ones we know about.

Super cool! But I so rarely reach for the physical calculators I already have these days. Any recommendations on RPN calculators for Windows or Android? The one I've got on my phone right now has some little quirks that bug me.

RealCalc (Android) is the one I use all the time. Emu48 (Android, Windows) emulates HP48GX hardware and runs an actual HP48GX ROM image. NumWorks (Android, Windows, web) emulates a NumWorks graphing calculator - has some nice features, but not RPN.

I use one called 48sx, however, I've only ever used +-*/. Clicky physical buttons are much better of course. An accountant I worked with years ago had one with a printer, which meant she had a paper record and could verify that the entries were correct.

Which one do you have on your phone? Plus42 for Android has been mentioned. I like Droid 48 (also Android).

Hiper is pretty good (I paid for it, even) but the the lack of undo really winds me up.

I highly recommend getting a clipboard manager! They keep a (usually configurable) history of your most recent clipboard items and allow switching the active selection between them.

Surely. First time I used clipboard management was long time ago somewhen in windows xp era. But growing older make me not really incentivized on trying myself to relearn clipboard history gestures. I might do that someday though.

The difference is now I know git and text editor with hot-save support; with mostly textual clipboard, the texts usually just land in either git/editor.

So far the alternatives to capricious developer choices are:

- Draw Chinese characters into a translator

- Just have every website support every language ever

- Install cliboard manager software to handle the fact you don’t always want to copy

Gotta love HN.

It's frustrating that sharing workarounds in good faith attracts drive-by snark like this comment.

I don't want a good-faith workaround for a website hijacking my clipboard. I want the website and its developers to stop doing things that are stupid and wrong.

I don't disagree! But as long as they continue to do stupid and wrong things, workarounds remain useful.

Oh, hey! I discovered your library around a month ago, and had a question at the time [0]: why is it mostly sponsored [1] by personal injury lawyers? Are they particularly heavy DataTables users? Or is this an SEO thing for them, since the top sponsorship package comes with a site link?

An SEO thing for them. Useful income for me. It isn't much ($49/year), but every little helps...

I want an HUD mini-map that displays directions for navigation. That solves an actual problem for me (having no sense of direction).

What was Cartwheel Linux? A quick search doesn't turn up anything related.

Note that it's not necessarily an "Arch distribution" in the sense you might expect:

> KDE Linux is an immutable distribution that uses Arch Linux packages as its base, but Graham notes that it is "definitely not an 'Arch-based distro!'" Pacman is not included, and Arch is used only for the base operating system. Everything else, he said, is either compiled from source using KDE Builder or installed using Flatpak.

This sounds fairly close to SteamOS in terms of structure. (Which seems to work well for its own use case, so I can see the logic.)

Ah, welp! Egg on my face; I'll be less charitable with this sort of thing in the future.

Thanks for doing the digging. Unfortunately HN doesn't let you retract submissions, otherwise I would.

I noticed that, too, but I thought perhaps the write-up was simply "LLM-assisted".

I came across this while debugging the "Malformed anchor records, not an array" log message on iOS 18.6.2 and seeing weird behavior: some parts of the system suddenly rejecting certificates with an anchor error (the MDM layer) while other parts accepted them just fine (Safari). So that's n=2 for something being wrong with the trust system in recent iOS versions.

If this was real, it would be a big, big deal, but I can't so far see anyone else in the security space picking this up as a story. Note also the GitHub history of the source.
