pmx··on PopSQL – Modern, collaborative SQL editor for your team
As far as I know there is no way to use or download Wagon now that Box has acquired them
pmx··on Refresh Is Sacred
> And I'm annoyed that Apple basically forced me to buy a new phone a year or two earlier than I wanted to by crippling my old one with broken software

Isn't that basically their business model?

pmx··on Show HN: Make Medium Readable Again
I wish there was something I could do like this on mobile. I've given up trying to read these pages on my phone now, it's just too distracting to have all their UI clutter in the way.

What I don't understand is how they let it get this bad?

pmx··on Doomsday planning for less crazy folk
Is there a plugin that makes websites like this easier to read on modern devices? The lines of text here are too long for my poor brain to parse but I don't want to have to resize my browser for each badly designed website.
pmx··on Apple makes 23 different dongles – and it would cost you $857 to buy them all
You'd never need all of these though, would you? There is a lot of overlap between the dongles that unless you had a lot of devices you wouldn't require. For example I can't see anyone buying an HDMI to DVI + a Lightning to VGA + a Mini Displayport to DVI. Feels a little bit like saying ford make xx models of car & it would cost you £1 million to buy them all.
pmx··on Ask HN: What do people use to prevent crawlers?
They generally are fairly slow but it doesn't matter because you just set it and leave it to it until it has all the data you want, leaving you to get on with other things.
pmx··on Show HN: Howmanypeoplearearound – Use wifi to calculate number of people around
Wouldn't phones be pinging on all channels anyway?
pmx··on Anbox – Android in a Box
No, WhatsApp requires you to verify your phone number on any device you install it on. You won't be able to do that here.
pmx··on Stripe launches new European payment methods
Any plans to support direct debit?
pmx··on Ask HN: What is something you do for clients that consistently blows them away?
I found this [1] video to be a great watch.

pmx··on Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2016?
I would really like to buy a digital copy of this book now, is that possible?
pmx··on Launchaco – Instantly generate a responsive, free, website
I would absolutely love to poke around the source code for the builder! Thanks for the awesome tool!
pmx··on RIP Apple MacBook
And professional (or hobby) photographers!
pmx··on MacBook Pro (2016) disappointment pushes some Apple loyalists to Ubuntu Linux
I just wish adobe would get their act together and release photoshop and friends for linux.
pmx··on [dead]
The trackpad is one two things I miss after testing a macbook for a week. The other thing is battery life.
pmx··on Show HN: Natural Language to SQL interface to embed in your app
Is the live demo broken? Nothing seems to happen when submitting a query?
pmx··on LastPass autofill exploit
I was surprised by them giving such a tiny amount too. The potential damage to their users here is staggering. If this was used to grab someone's twitter,facebook,email,linkedin an attacker could take full control of their online presence :S
pmx··on When You Dial 911 and Wall Street Answers
There has to be more to this story.. can't be that simple can it? ?
pmx··on Startup will help landlords and employers mine intimate data from Facebook
Any land lord asking me to let them do this would be blacklisted as far as I'm concerned. Using a service like this raises huge red flags as to what type of person they are and what it would be like to live with them as my landlord.
pmx··on StartCom launches a new service – StartEncrypt
Are they saying they're doing EV certs for free or is the page just badly worded?
pmx··on A few inventors find the contents of their patents declared government secrets
“Nobody has invented warp drive or time travel. They’re fairly mundane inventions that may have some relevance to the military,”

None of the ones they have released from secrecy. Anything as incredible as those examples is more likely to stay secret.

pmx··on Facebook disabling messaging in its mobile web app to push people to Messenger
Yeah we now finally have them on android too in marshmallow
pmx··on Microsoft criticized for changing the pop-up box encouraging users to upgrade
Seeing them this desperate to get windows 10 on to people's computers for FREE really has me worries about their motivations. I know it's loaded with tracking and spy features, are they selling that collected data and want as many people contributing to it as possible? Whether they want to or not? If I could afford it I'd get a mac and be done with this nonsense. Used to use ubuntu but I need photoshop :(
pmx··on Android Pay launches in UK
I'm glad they have finally launched in the UK. My GF is ALWAYS leaving the house without her bag and with no money, but she always has her phone on her. At least now there is less chance of her needing money and not having it on her. I do wish they had support from more banks though.
pmx··on Software security suffers as startups lose access to Google’s virus data
Article puts a really negative spin on what can only be a good move. Why should leechers be allowed to make huge sums of money on the back of the rest of the communities work?
pmx··on Microsoft is cutting free OneDrive storage from 15 to 5 GB
I have never made use of the 1tb space that comes with office 365 exactly because ms do these sorts of things. If you're storing 1000gb and later they suddenly decide to reduce you to 500gb, what do you do? Any course of action is going to be painful.
pmx··on Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it awesome? Please include URL
This is exciting! I'm really happy to discover a nice looking email client that I can run on ubuntu!
pmx··on RAF Jets Scrambled to Intercept Russian Bombers
yeah it happens all the time. nothing new or overly concerning here.
pmx··on PayPal Starts Banning VPN and SmartDNS Services
ISP Packet shaping. They do it even though they say the don't. When you go via VPN they don't know your connecting to Netflix and don't mess with your traffic.
pmx··on Free SSL with Amazon's AWS Certificate Manager (ACM)
if you buy a cert for the main domain it will also work for www. automatically.
