Interesting that #easylist is being #ddos 'd by a poorly written #app in #india , meaning that many people no longer have #access to #blocklists https://adguard.com/en/blog/easylist-fil..
Very cool to see #infinitime now #support the #external #flash https://github.com/InfiniTimeOrg/InfiniT.. This means that #app possibilities are greatly increased. As well as a really cool #casio #inspired #watchface , in the future we could see a very simple #offline #map #app !
The #chinese #winter #olympics #app is being #reverseengineered which #athletes are *forced* to #download and #install on their #phones https://github.com/jonathandata1/2022_be.. Despite there being 'no #tracking ', it quite clearly does. The list of #illegal #words is also quite interesting: https://github.com/jonathandata1/2022_be.. Very clear what topics #china 's #ccp want to avoid...
Wow, #ubereats are #charging people for #services they haven't received - and this #behaviour is based into their shitty #app https://old.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/c.. Literally #illegal - but the #bank and #visa #protect #uber in this case. If you try to #cancel the #transaction you'll get #blocked indefinitely. It's insane this is even possible.
#amazon #aws is down, and has caused their #delivery #app to go down: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/busine.. This has meant tonnes of #deliveries have been piling up #undelivered - with #drivers told simply to go home.
Very interesting P2P #message #sharing #offline via an #android #app named #briar https://briarproject.org/news/2021-briar.. Apparently the purpose is to #bypass #internet #shutdown ! Very interesting #app indeed.
Ouch, the #microsoft #app #store returns #firefox as the 45th #result if you perform a #search https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comment.. That majorly sucks on many levels. I remember looking for it myself on behalf of somebody and giving up.
#china 's #ccp are claiming that the #popular #app #flightradar is a danger to #nationalsecurity because it exposes the #location of #military #aircraft - a statement that is either false or a fundamental problem of their military operations: https://theprint.in/opinion/chinascope/c.. Apparently though, what it *could* do is provide location information about #ccp officials and their private #jets ...
#apple had removed a #quran #app in #china due to #requests from the #ccp https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-5892.. I'm sure this will end well.
#apple are now #gatekeeping what is allowed in the #appstore - #rejecting a #horoscope #app as a form of #spam https://www.imore.com/apple-rejects-deve.. This seems like something that can be fixed with just #search #functionality rather than outright #blocking #apps ...
The #founder of #compound - a #decentralized #financing #defi #app is #blackmailing #users with being publicly #doxxed unless they return $90 #million #usd that was sent out due to a #bug https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/01/defi-pro.. Apparently the #founder suggested that they can keep 10% as a #whitehat #reward ... It seems like this #platform has already burned their bridges, there's no way people will continue use it if people are getting #threats
The new #enact #uk #political #party certainly has some interesting ideas, but it's also quite scary: https://www.lotuseaters.com/enact-modern.. A #mandated #government #app to be able to #vote sounds like hell - one tiny #bug could mean the entirety of #british #democracy is #corrupted (even more than it is). Also, voting by #majority *does not* always produce better results - more brain power yes, but also less focus.
Holy hell, #australia has literally gone insane with a #state #phone #app that contacts you randomly throughout the day and uses your #gps to decide if you are at your #house https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAp72IYl.. If you fail to pick-up, they send #police after you to #fine you. Fuck that.
Didn't #sleep almost a wink - I think I'll make some #keto #food and go for a #walk ... On the plus side, I get to test the #fitotrack #app again on my old #android #phone ...
This is a great breakdown of why it is tough to roll your own #encrypted #chat #app https://pwn.recipes/posts/roll-your-own-.. Very interesting, actually quite surprising how easy it is.
Pretty crazy bug for a #messenger #chat #app - content being sent to the wrong person! For all their #encrpytion - it's meaningless if they don't get the absolute basics right: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Andr.. Apparently something similar happened in the early days of #facebook messenger: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=279..
