Stopping the smart TV from being used against you. โ€“ S-Config

โœจ Discover this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Smart TVs are everywhere! But who is the master? Amid the overall electronics boom thanks to A.I., one piece of electronics is almost unchanged financially. That is the digital display or flat-panel monitor. With good reason! The entire entertainment and streaming industry wants one of these devices in your living room. Not only wanting access to your wallet; companies are willing to violate customer trust to squeeze a few extra pennies out of the devices they sold you.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: Divy Srivastava ยท August 26, 2026App development has always been harder than web development for LLMs. Apps tend to have platform style norms and layouts, and they need to look and feel a certain way. People can feel when an app is โ€œnativeโ€ and crafted for their device. Plus, the web is open and universal in a way apps and app stores typically are not, which means LLMs have comparatively less data in their training sets.Many vibe-coding platforms have tried to solve the problem…

Just a rumour of a bug is enough to find a security exploit these days

โœจ Discover this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: โœ… **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: I released a security fix for OCaml's cohttp 6.3.0 today, fixing a path traversal issue. The patch itself was straightforward and in normal times, the security procedure would have been to fix it privately, inform affected users, and then issue a public advisory. This time around though, I noticed probes in my live webserver logs with the exact bug pattern just minutes after opening the PR to fix the issue. What's worse, I found I could use my own agents to find the exploit just…
