On startup they send request to versions.withfig.com, tel.withfig.com, VS marketplace, Sentry, AWS Cognito and a couple more.
My firewall blocked all of these and I couldn't use the app. It needs api.withfig.com, app.withfig.com and AWS Congnito to work. After signup I blocked all these and I saw they ping their servers every few seconds.
Removing it permanently.
Out of curiosity, which firewall do you use?
- tmux
- bashmarks
- zsh-autosuggestions
- yasnippet/emacs
- awk
- explainshell.com
- ansible scripts for setting up new dotfiles and my commonly used tools on a new machine/VM
Where are the auto playing video ads at full blast?

Wow. Close call. I was about to get the same lens from the same seller about a month ago but at the very last moment I thought I can wait for a few weeks to see some more reviews of the seller come in.
I was thinking about getting defective product shipped etc but never thought I could have faced such a sophisticated scam.
For me, keeping in view how other people look at the situation is the most important thing in effective communication. I've found PG's advice the best in this regard:
""" If you want to learn what people want, read Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. [8] When a friend recommended this book, I couldn't believe he was serious. But he insisted it was good, so I read it, and he was right. It deals with the most difficult problem in human experience: how to see things from other people's point of view, instead of thinking only of yourself.
[8] Buy an old copy from the 1940s or 50s instead of the current edition, which has been rewritten to suit present fashions. The original edition contained a few unPC ideas, but it's always better to read an original book, bearing in mind that it's a book from a past era, than to read a new version sanitized for your protection. """

Since this is a client side issue, can this be used to exploit those automated scanners who try to break into your SSH machine?
