Okay, so the submitted title is a lie? "I wrote the manual..." Would you consider changing it to something more honest?

It's not me who decides. I just pointed out that the irrelevant date is related to the AI generated nature of this text.

Ah. My bad, yelling at the messenger. But the actual "author", who might also be the submitter (nick = Nicola?), has some explaining to do. There's a lie in the submission title, and the same lie in the github readme intro.

Thanks for helping alert us all to the sloppiness and deceit. And thanks to all who flagged.

The person you are responded to isn't the author of the post.

Fair point, but neither is this lying "Nicola Sahar" character.

Oh come on.

Come on and what? We are dazzled by this cool new tech and so now precision in speech no longer matters?

Human language is the new code; precision in speech is outdated and irrelevant

You almost had me there, I'll admit, but then I looked at your (short, new) comment history for a Poe's Law check. A much-needed perspective around here! Keep it up, and good luck staying on the right side of the site guidelines -- your shtick is close to the edge, but very refreshing if done well.

You are not talking to the author. The comment was a quote from TFA, written (or, well, prompted) by someone else.

I know, that's why I'm quoting the author and not the commenter, and why I said "you (TFA author)"

Actually, this was initially a phone accessory (1) with a keyboard.

App reviews (2) saying that there was lot of glitches with keyboard app.

I assume same approach will be for the this phone: accessory keyboard over android phone.

It looks more like hype than a real product.

What makes me suspicious is the Gmail icon instead of a generic email app.

So if I have my own email server, does that mean no mail? Or would there be one Gmail app and another separate email client? Unclear.

The Gmail app on Android supports 3rd party email servers via IMAP and has done for as long as I can remember (I have Gmail accounts but my primary account is a self hosted one and I use the Gmail app for all the accounts)

It is supposed to run Android, so if you need another client, it might be as easy as installing it through an APK.

If it's android, presumably you'd just install via the Google Play Store?

I found out that it's sister product of keyboard accessory company, so most probably this will be usual android with keyboard as accessory.

The Gmail app supports POP, IMAP, MS Exchange, and (though it got bugged into re-downloading the entire mailbox every day) even old-fashioned MS ActiveSync.

You can disable the Gmail app and install something like Thunderbird seeing as this is just a normal Android phone (which, of course, will also show you your Gmail emails if you set it up to do so).

I had two Blackberry Passport even after EOF. Best email experience ever and LED for emails was particularly useful.

We’re working on an open-source product security platform (1) and are looking into integrating with ThingsBoard. This would help identify operator risk behavior, for example in cases of account takeover. Do you see any specific security features that are currently missing in IoT behavior/risk analytics?

This is an article of questionable value written by AI itself.

The real cost of 100 lines will be when AI occasionally passes secrets, or brings new vulnerabilities, that at the scale of writing code no engineer will see.

Ironically, I was just about to order a MacBook Pro 2019 because I'm still running Catalina and have no plans to update it.

I use an even older Macbook and an even older macOS. Of course, the browsers no longer work with the latest JS, so occasionally when I need to use some webapp I boot up a Linux VM and do what I need to do. With limited RAM even that's a pain, but it works for now.

Exactly one year ago, we started tirreno on New Year’s night at Show HN. Today, we’re nearly at 1k stars and dozens of releases in.

Thanks so much, HN, for this year.

Congrats and all the best!

Awesome hint!

Perhaps, click fraud?

Is there any new powerful platform/aggregator in your market?

I don't know what click fraud is but it's a very small entertainment agency market in Durban, South Africa's 3rd largest city. We only advertised locally (specified in AdWords)

Click fraud is malicious activity where someone runs bots that click on ads for specific category keywords. For example, if this is a villa rental website, someone like competitors or a large platform, might use ad agencies that perform click fraud against the villa rental website to exhaust their budget and therefore get more traffic themselves. In the case of an entertainment agency, it might be other competitors interested in your traffic.

The first step you might take is to check that you are not advertising with AdWords partner networks, as they might be the reason for the clicks on your ads.

Second, you can check your server logs and verify clicks from Google Ads, especially the geolocation of those clicks. If they are not from your region and the visitors perform no action after viewing the first page, this is most probably click fraud.

I use our own open-source security platform (I'm a co-founder) for this purpose (1), as it's server-side and works even if bots aren't running JS. However, your website analytics might also be useful if they can collect events without JS.

Shockingly, I did not consider malicious intent as a possible reason. I will look into it. Never did trust the partner networks though, it's not that anyway, just used plain old search network

I tried to visit your website to get a better idea, but found `Connection timed out Error code 522` by Cloudflare.

It's fine now, somehow got to #1 on Hacker News and 1000's of visitors did that. Learned something new about Cloudflare Cache Settings, it won't happen again

unlikely but they should check their invalid click rate to be sure

Invalid click rate is not always a reliable metric.

I've been dealing a lot with click fraud on Google Ads, and it's usually hard to detect it without special tools.

What’s your experience?

Off the shelf click fraud software (for search) has never been ROI-positive for me when I run in A/B tests.

Fou analytics is a fun tool though for social/native etc

Click farms that we had been dealing with for our clients did not render images on webpages during visits, therefore we put tirreno on the backend of the platform, plus added a 1px image that sends the same request to tirreno to spot the difference.

Page loading + no image loading = blacklist API.
