Amazingly ironic that in an article about a typo, there is a typo.

> "Tat sounds like the ultimate catalyst for the commodities market and copper has been hitting records."

"Tat" should be "That", imo.

I saw this too, awesome to report on a typo when you yourself have a typo. What are the odds?

I was hoping this was a mini 5G cell tower that connected to the network, so you could have good 5G service inside.

Minor point: I read this as OS/2. The author may want to correct that. macOS naming and versioning is confusing enough.

macOS was never known as OS/X. It was formerly known as OS X and Mac OS X.

As a former OS/2 user, it really threw me off for a second.

Also, you're using a trademark ("Winamp") in the name. So, expect a C&D from Llama Group or whomever.

Aside from that, it looks really nice and well-designed! And it's in Swift and not some janky Electron app. Good job on those fronts!

100%! I first read as OS/2 as well, and was like interesting.

The Cuckoo's Egg by Cliff Stoll might be interesting to you. Its a story about how he tracked down a spy starting from a few pennies missing in a balance sheet. A very pleasant read and a good audio book too.

zekyl314 · a year ago

I was going to suggest the same book. I first ran into story on PBS as a teenager, it was titled "The KGB, the Computer and Me".

Random thought: if the Youtube app contacts a server that's selected depending on your logged in status, than it might affect it.

Have you checked your DNS? Just for a test, I would set 8.8.8.8, restart the whole device, and try to watch some cat videos.

zekyl314 · a year ago

Yeah, I have also changed DNS from 1.1.1.1 to 8.8.8.8 with no difference. I did receive a call from my ISP last night and they confirmed others are having the same issue. So at least someone is on the case. My goal is to get a write up if they find a fix so I can share with others. I know that other people / ISPs are having the issue too based on my research.

I suggest you watch this video as well, is goes into great detail on what it took to make the blue LED. It's quite fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF8d72mA41M

Would you support phones having an optional answering captcha system for untrusted numbers? Something like:

"answer the following question to complete your call: if Sally has two eggs and Michael has one, how many do they both have?"

zekyl314 · 2 years ago

My Dad's landline makes you press a digit before completing the call. So that exists already, and wish more would add this as a feature. I'm sure like anything, it could be defeated, if they had a system listening for the key to press. But it works for now.
