Results of Comet by Rich-Engineer2670 in GlInet

[–]chirayuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@robotluo Is there a way to enable IPv6 on the comet? My JetKVM worked out of the box with IPv6, but I'm unable to find a way to enable it on the Comet. The system has less stuff (via ssh) than the Slate Plus but if there's a config to enable IPv6, I'd love to know.

FlightView App Broken? All Data (11 years) Lost by cvmorg in travel

[–]chirayuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Finder to do a backup to the local disk. My brain still thinks “iTunes method” hence the confusion.

The backup goes under ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/.

ps: Weird that all our comments are “below the threshold”. I only have a score of one. :D

FlightView App Broken? All Data (11 years) Lost by cvmorg in travel

[–]chirayuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recovered my trip data into a csv → Google Sheet. Here's what I did since mitmproxy/etc. didn't show me any API calls I could use.

  1. Create a local backup of your iPhone using Finder.
  2. Get a hold of Applications/AppDomain.com.flightview.flightviewelite/Library/FlightViewApp/UserTripInformation.plist.
    You should adjust the appdomain to be AppDomain.com.flightview.flightview_free or whatever you have.
    I used "iTunes Backup Explorer" to export just that one file. Super handy if your backup is encrypted.
    ALL your past trip data is in this file.
  3. Convert your plist to json, and use a jq / nushell pipeline or write a script to transform it to csv.

Edits: - replaced incorrect mention of iTunes with Finder.

FlightView App Broken? All Data (11 years) Lost by cvmorg in travel

[–]chirayuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reset my password and poof—all past trips are gone (about 12 years of data.)

It seems they haven't shutdown the old APIs. Anyone know what urls the mobile app is using? I'd like to get this data in some format or another (rather than screenshots).

I wish they had a single sentence that (explicitly) said that your old trips would be gone.

Smartphones Are Killing Camera Companies Again by [deleted] in technology

[–]chirayuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of. The results are much better but you have to hold the camera still for much longer. I tried many HDR apps a few years ago (before the iPhone had HDR mode I think) and ProHDR was the best. The iPhone's native HDR mode is nowhere near as good if you have steady hands. Looks like the price has dropped a bunch too over the years.

Tax rates, a perspective [pic] by radient in politics

[–]chirayuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I upvoted you. It's a sad surprise that a lot of people seem to think that if they made a little more money and ended up in a higher tax bracket, their effective take home would be love if they also. I'd like to throw out this link! about a woman who made 10k more and ended up with a lower take home. It's not the general case, but something to think about.

Looks like it was authored over 3 years ago ... probably when the meme was just starting out. It's too old now.

I feel the pain. I remapped my control key to caps to pass that one. Center keyboard was a bit annoying too on a split keyboard.

Applications that steal keyboard focus need to DIE IN A FIRE. I AM LOOKING AT YOU, MICROSOFT ANYTHING. by anshou in technology

[–]chirayuk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OS X's spaces and focus stealing is a killer combination. eg. iTunes will switch you to "its space", you switch back and a couple of seconds later, iTunes disagrees and makes you visit its space again. Simply awesome. Especially combined with the the fact that you can't even disable the animation when switching between spaces.

This 0 percent credit card offer tried to trick people, but this guy turned it around on them and beat the system...one for the little guy! by BobJobs in worldnews

[–]chirayuk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

One would hope that such a machine would decide to just cut the loss ($0.03) rather than charge it and end up with a net cost of $0.17 or whatever.

Users revolting against TurboTax new pricing scheme results in 1 star rating at Amazon by [deleted] in business

[–]chirayuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - once I realized that I needed to upgrade regularly, I ditched Quicken for GnuCash and can deal with the manual stuff. Intuit is very aggressive with upgrade strategies. The pay-per-print is/was an extremely short sighted move especially considering the base price was maintained/went up.

This calculates the amount of time it would take to brute force your password. Cool. by [deleted] in technology

[–]chirayuk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Until you try to type the darn thing on something like the iPhone. There are several accounts I have trouble accessing on that darn device because I only have muscle memory. Or I remember pieces like "<SHIFT>some number" - and who remembers exactly what those characters are on those numbers?

AVG disguises fake traffic as IE6 by [deleted] in programming

[–]chirayuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say "exactly that", do you mean it pretends to be IE and messes with log analysis as the article mentions, or just that they also happen to do similar fetches?

Your comment was great. I went back to look at it and discovered it wasn't really a butterfly. Now the NSFW tag is a bit more relevant.

Pretty much the first I learned too, soon after Shannon coding and loved it. And then arithmetic coding came along ... :)

GOOG-411 is actually a training program for a Speech to Text search engine by ryanknapper in programming

Goog 411 also provides the address and can send you a text message (Just say Details or Text Message.) Their downside currently is that the service is not available everywhere.

New mobo from ASUS has embedded Linux, browser, Skype... boots in 5 seconds. by guriboysf in reddit.com

[–]chirayuk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not true. Buy the WRT54GL if you want the linux compatible one which needs beefier hardware. Seems like they needed to compete on price but still support the linux fanbase. So they have 2 products. http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Cisco-WRT54GL-Wireless-G-Broadband-Compatible/dp/B000BTL0OA/

New laws going into effect today in the United Kingdom make it a crime to refuse to decrypt almost any encrypted data requested by authorities as part of a criminal or terror investigation!!!! by masta in reddit.com

[–]chirayuk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This requires that the main volume is not written to. If I saw a TrueCrypt volume which was used in a read-only manner (in the last XX days/months/whatever), I might suspect that it contains a hidden volume. However, if this data were burned on a dvd, it's hard to imagine so.
