Ikatza··on Car allergic to vanilla ice cream (2000)
Your lack of faith is disturbing, specially when there are first hand accounts of [Apple/Microsoft/Insert Co] sending engineers to people's houses to diagnose unique problems. This could be a perfectly real story, a different thing would be that you choose not to believe it.
Ikatza··on I built Excel for Uber and they ditched it
Owning code would be akin as owning language.
Ikatza··on Microsoft is bringing Python to Excel
This would be a good moment to ask for good free Python courses.
Ikatza··on Creator of Catan, Klaus Teuber, has died
Responsible for millions of divorces and vendettas everywhere.

I stopped playing Catan and switched to cooperative euro games after realizing that the way I play Catan (threatening, holding grudges, taking revenge, creating chaos...) is not how everybody else plays or wants to play. I play to win whatever the cost, but after having strong arguments with my friends and loved ones I decided to just stop playing.

Ikatza··on DPReview.com to close
No Internet Archive mirror?
Ikatza··on Tell HN: It is impossible to disable Google 2FA using backup codes
This is exactly my current situation, exacerbated by the fact that I cannot contact support as I am a user of legacy Gsuite.

To get support I would need to upgrade. To upgrade I need to enter my authenticator code. To enter my authenticator code I need to contact support...

Ikatza··on I liberate the ending to Minecraft from Microsoft and give it to you
This reads like a giant, very long, tantrum.
Ikatza··on Show HN: Using stylometry to find HN users with alternate accounts
Are short sentences better for anonymity?
Ikatza··on Writing by hand is still the best way to retain information
I wonder if handwriting on a tablet has the same effect as doing it on paper.
Ikatza··on Physical buttons outperform touchscreens in new cars, test finds
Aircon, music volume and skipping songs, emergency blinkers, driving mode (suspension, etc)... These are some things that I could manage with a physical button and are now placed on a screen, forcing me to look since I don't have tactile feedback.
Ikatza··on Glassdoor not so anonymous
That would be illegal and prone to surface at one point or another, the best policy is to not keep logs on any service that touts itself as anonymous.
Ikatza··on I've locked myself out of my digital life
This doesn't make sense to me.

Domain admin account with a strong password and 2FA set to an SMS to my phone number or a trusted contact's phone number.

Voilá. I can use that to reset my main email account 2FA and go from there for the rest of the services.

Ikatza··on Almost all searches on my independent search engine are now from SEO spam bots
How about serving bots with one link per page, and taking a minute to serve each page? Would this impact their efficiency?
Ikatza··on An Ode to Apple’s Hide My Email
Now that Google is insisting on kicking me out of legacy Gsuite, I may give icloud a try. It's a pity it's such a PITA to set something workable on Android.
Ikatza··on Google requiring all ‘G Suite legacy free edition’ users to start paying
Exactly. What does Google expect to earn with this move? The increased revenue they're pulling with this must be _marginal_ compared to the rest of their product lines. Is it really worth it to annoy lifelong customers for pennies?
Ikatza··on LastPass users warned their master passwords are compromised
This is why I insist on having a standalone password manager, and I refuse to switch to 1Password's cloud solution. I'll sync my master file myself and keep my master password in my head, thank you very much.
Ikatza··on Ontario bans non-competes and creates right to disconnect from work
In Spain is the same, but the financial compensation has to be a significant part of salary, around >30% minimum. I've gotten out of some NC's because the extra compensation wasn't fully detailed or wasn't enough.
Ikatza··on Wish HN: Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas people.
Ikatza··on Police can’t demand you reveal your phone passcode then tell a jury you refused
Not really. I have a gesture programmed in Nova Launcher to disable biometrics with a pinch. The system allows you to do many more things than iOS, just not put of the box.
Ikatza··on ProtonMail deletes 'we don't log your IP' from website after activist arrested
Thanks for clarifying, Proton Mail. And also, good bye. I'll be canceling my accounts today.
Ikatza··on PAM Duress – Alternate passwords for panic situations
Nova Launcher on Android (and maybe other launchers, I do not know) has a nifty little feature to activate password lock bypassing biometrics with a gesture. Which comes in handy everytime I go through the border.
Ikatza··on Spanish Sketches
> right wing parties don't want them unearthed, identified and given to the families

Source for this?

Ikatza··on Spanish Sketches
Having countries with more unemployment, worse vaccination rates, or higher house prices doesn't make the situation "good".

You are cherry picking statistics to say that Spain is better than other countries. Being better off than Afghanistan doesn't make you a great country.

The thing is that the self-called Spanish left has disappointed its voters and blamed every problem on Franco and male sexism.

Ikatza··on France cuts two nuclear-powered submarines in half to make one new one
They'll keep the name, but is it still the Perle? It's a modern "ship of Theseus" situation
Ikatza··on Select a muscle and it provides the exercises to workout the selected muscle
Can you share a good resource for beginners to find some pre-configured plans? Thanks!
Ikatza··on Twitter shuts down account of Sci-Hub
It's not about forcing Twitter, it's about how Twitter wants to be framed.

As a platform, it bears no responsibility over what's published on it as long as it complies with any court orders to remove illegal content. But it cannot censor or editorialize content.

If it does, it becomes a media outlet and has responsibility over all content published on Twitter, (which doesn't scale very well).

Jack wants to have the best of both worlds. The power to censor whatever he doesn't like, with 0 responsibility over the content he doesn't care about.

Ikatza··on YouTube will now show ads on all videos even if creators don’t want them
Has anybody managed to make YouTube Vanced's sign in work with legacy GSuite accounts? It's the only thing preventing me from switching to it.
Ikatza··on Airbnb S-1
That doesn't make sense for the hosts, for 80% of them it could be months until they see the money from their first booking.

Airbnb already holds the money for 24h after check-in, which is enough to defuse 99% of scams. The problem is the guests that book outside the platform, then claim they were scammed.
