craftoman··on Amazon refused to refund $7k after shipping an empty box instead of a Sony A1
Amazon (EU) is garbage. I ordered a high-end laptop from the Amazon Warehouses and they cancelled my order after 2 months. I kept calling them in the meanwhile many times and they were bs me with "everything ok" "your order will be shipped" "won't worry" until they cancelled my order without a reason.

craftoman··on AMA: Gaël Duval, founder of the de-Googled Android OS /e/
This is great news. People & small companies are entering a market focused on privacy. Graphene OS is also a great project, I hope more people will follow.
craftoman··on Gnome 40
This is due to a missing package. Some distributions are not well structured and removing one package may lead to these errors.
craftoman··on We built a Heroku alternative made for developers with fair pricing
Great work! Every time I stumble upon such PaaS services I'm getting hyped until paranoid slap my face. How can anyone trust anything, these days servers can be hacked easily and besides what user's codebases can be accessed by the provider's employees or another third party company.
craftoman··on Why does Elon Musk keep pushing garbage investments? What is the deal
That's bold market manipulation. So frustrating...he's like the Kardashian of geeks, gamers and trolls.
craftoman··on ARM MacBook vs. Intel MacBook
Still way more slower than a Ryzen 4800 HS. Last time I checked a low end laptops with Ryzen had double performance (multi-core) compared to Macbooks with A1.
craftoman··on Ik.me: a free email address for life developed and hosted in Switzerland
Why giving so much weight on Switzerland? I don't have anything personal with that country but why do I have to know it as a user? Afaik Switzerland is not part of the EU and regulations may not be stable.
craftoman··on Another Now by Yanis Varoufakis
I'm from Greece and I already did my research on Mr Varoufakis. He's surrounded by his big ego and suffer from narcissism, I would declare him nothing but a book seller IMHO. He's selling himself and considered a dangerous person.
craftoman··on Binwalk: Firmware Analysis Tool
Used this tool few years ago on a ZTE router. Worked like a charm without any problems
craftoman··on Why is the market share of Firefox in Germany so much higher?
Because they value security and privacy. They just prefer to work with Microsoft Office rather than have 50 different web apps that drain all their data for no reason.
craftoman··on Facebook Says It Will Stop Operating in Europe If Regulators Don’t Back Down
Facebook is the biggest piece of junk on the internet right now. The most corrupted company, Facebook is 10 times worst than any backed up communist company in China.
craftoman··on Netgear Firmware Requires Online Registration
They didn't scammed, they washed some of the investors money. These kind of attacks are ridiculously hard to believe.
craftoman··on Windows new feature: Access your Android phone’s apps directly from your PC
That's NOT something new. It's called Link to Windows and it's a service provided by Samsung about a year now.
craftoman··on Facebook account now required to login to Oculus devices
Last time I created a fresh account I got banned. Didn't use any VPN, my email was a fresh Gmail address and I didn't use any fake picture or send any friend request.
craftoman··on Sony WH-1000XM4 review: The best noise-canceling headphones get better
I have the WH-1000M2. Headphones are solid but the mic is like a cheap Chinese with 2 dollars we buy from eBay.
craftoman··on Sysadmin Infographic
Who use Windows or Mac for Sysadmin things today? Am I missing something here? Last time I went to Sysadmin conference there were a bunch of nerds that running their own custom Linux distro based on Arch or something.
craftoman··on BangleJS open source smartwatches – experience of usage
I was about to buy one of those but I was skeptical about the whole concept behind. I didn't find any solid docs and source code and dropped it. It looks shady...
craftoman··on Ask HN: Are there people here who like the modern web?
Modern web killed the creativity. Now millions of devs follow the same pattern and companies at happier than ever before. People want big lions to guide them (Google, Facebook, Microsoft). They trust them and forget all the scandals that clearly made them unethical and evil companies. Now whatever shit they give birth we must adapt it and call it innovation.
craftoman··on Can you use FreeBSD for a Developer Machine in 2020?
Installed FreeBSD few months ago and GPU was making wierd buzzing noises just like every other distro I tried on Linux (even when the fan was not spinning). When I was booting Windows or Ubuntu noises were disappearing like magic. It was a joke, I was about to make a YouTube video. Tried everything, it was a driver problem obviously. Point is I dropped it because of this and I really wanted to switch my workstation to BSD :(
craftoman··on Show HN: Caddy 2
I'm not trying to offend anyone but am I the only one here who doesn't like the way this tool is pitched? It is mentioned on HN like a dozen times before.
craftoman··on Make Linux Fast Again (2019)
Make Linux Vulnerable Again.
craftoman··on Why open source developers are trying to manipulate GitHub?
> How does everyone know?

I personally added some badges to all of my projects that inform the user if I abandoned the project and besides that, if a new feature from let's say Java is lunched and start breaking a project then why don't people raise an issue? It's not a PR and can be done in a few seconds. I'm sure someone will notice especially if a project is maintained by a handful of people.

craftoman··on Why open source developers are trying to manipulate GitHub?
Exactly. I have never experienced problems caused by outdated stuff with code less than a year since the last update.

Edit: People ALWAYS fix things when something outdated breaks the whole project.

craftoman··on Why open source developers are trying to manipulate GitHub?
No it's not part of maintaining a project if you clearly trying to manipulate things. I'm talking about the smart kids who take advantage of this and they update a bunch of words in some document that no one ever cared about.
craftoman··on VPN users more likely to steal content, says UK gov survey
Yeah right. Next time I'll go to a cafe and start using VPN just to secure things up, I will come up with what government thinks about me.
craftoman··on George Hotz: Fully Self-Driving Cars Are a Scam and Silicon Valley Needs to Die
Just because you failed completing a project doesn't mean everyone else's doing it wrong. I know sometimes it's really frustrating but that's life.
craftoman··on Is WebAssembly the New Adobe Flash?
Yeah but from a hacker's perspective, isn't Wasm easier to plant a malware inside a binary file compared to JavaScript? I remember back in the days, flash was scary because of that and some malware was embedded inside the swf because analysing was painful.
