Beeper has been working in this space for awhile - there's no way they would publish an app with a copyright violation. I assume they have a workaround for that aspect.

It looks like Beeper has purchased the software from the person who developed this, but his GitHub repo for it is still up.

He has also created a way to permanently side load apps on iPhone without jailbreaking. I imagine Apple will be working on both of these "problems".

iMessage reverse engineering hack that was purchased by Beeper: https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush

iPhone side loading: https://github.com/SideStore

Interesting. I just checked and found the information. It sounds like they want to rebuild the whole app and just add one service at a time. They are starting with just iMessage.

Edit: I wonder how long this will last. They aren't using a Mac to log you into your iCloud account with this. They have found a workaround.

"This is now possible because the iMessage protocol and encryption have been reverse engineered by jjtech, a security researcher."

Edit 2: I'm really curious about this. The researcher has some Python that can run anywhere and let you send iMessages. It seems like something the Apple would shutdown, but, on the other hand, I wouldn't expect Beeper to introduce an app that might get disabled.

I'm confused about this article because I have Beeper, but they make this statement:

"Beeper Mini is a new app from the folks behind Beeper, a unified chatting and inbox app that brings together the best chat apps under one roof."

I haven't heard about a mini version.

It was just reinstated, but probably just after he posted this

If I were to use this, would I use a Spotify login/password with it? I'm not clear if this app allows you to save playlists and favorites, etc.

I think I'm saving about $500 per year, so the ad isn't completely accurate. I think they based it on the savings from before they raised the rate to $73.

I went to YouTubeTV earlier this year and it's definitely cheaper than RCN, which recently bought WOW. I have Comcast as a choice but they aren't better. The base rate for RCN that they advertise is $59, but they add four different fees that you don't see until your first bill: Sports Surcharge, Broadcast TV surcharge, franchise fees, and Entertainment Networks Surcharge. After those add-ons it was $115, so I'm saving money because the YouTubeTV price is actually advertised properly, without these ridiculous add ons.

Same with H264. I still have trouble getting H265 videos to play on all devices, so it's easier to stay with 264.

They probably threaten some space telescopes, too. The Starlink satellites are a little higher than Hubble. I would imagine they might take up a decent amount of field of view to Hubble, by being closer.

I would think that an IP address tells you the domain name by doing a simple DNS lookup.

If I understand correctly, someone other than your ISP could see the name of the website, since it isn't encrypted. I think it would bounce through several servers that could possibly read the data.

I wonder why SmartTube doesn't work on phones and tablets? I've looked into ReVanced but I can't figure out the whole process. SmartTube is just an apk.

I've been using it for many years, but only from my home. Is there any danger of getting flagged if I login to the RD website from my phone (to add something), but someone at my home is streaming from my home IP?

I can. I just was more interested in learning about a new package manager, rather than the main topic of the post.

It talks about installing with nix package manager. I've never heard of this one. Can anyone comment on how well nix would work foru Ubuntu installations? It sounds like it installs some daemon, which I haven't heard before from a package manager.

Quick Change. It's full of big stars (Bill Murray, Randy Quaid, Geena Davis, Jason Roberts) but I never hear people talk about it. I find it pretty funny.

Is it encrypted while in transit between servers?

Just reading the text on the X site has some interesting contradictions, such as:

Benefits: Benefit from increased trust from other users who will see your ID verification label when they hover over your blue check mark.

More benefits to come: Speed up the process of obtaining a blue check mark through a simplified review process.

Translation: "You can trust us more because we will take more shortcuts in verifying people."

My point is that the media is drawing extra attention to his arrest - as a direct result of what happened. As opposed to any other guy that might get arrested for groping and nothing is mentioned about it.
