KDE Connect handles that and a ton more very seamlessly imo. Not sure if the solution has to be first-party to qualify as "non-dodgy" but for a third-party solution it's pretty damned good

Throwing in my support for kde connect. It's just super convenient and it's FOSS + cross platform too. kde should honestly advertise it aggressively. There's nothing like it anywhere else.

Does KDE Connect still require both devices to be on the same network?

That's why I never got around to using it. Hoping it's changed. If Syncthing can share across networks, why not something else?

Were the compromised accounts sourced from Telegram or was that just the distribution channel? It's not 100% clear given your article and I feel like it's unfair to associate Telegram's name with the leak if they were merely a means of distribution.

I don't mean to trivialize the breach in any way mind you. I just want to ensure that those who don't read the full article aren't mislead into believing Telegram is any less secure because of this (assuming they weren't breached of course)

I got the same idea from the title, but as it seems, it's just a compilation of different breaches.

The Line "scraped out of thousands of Telegram channels" means "someone downloaded databreach files shared on Telegram", not "scraped Public channels for E-Mail Adresses" as i first interpreted it.

I assume this means they will no longer be under the LogMeIn umbrella, though I'm not sure what exactly that will mean for the company short or long-term.

Was at HackMIT during the same time frame. Can confirm that the only person from RapGenius present (pretty sure he was the founder or at least claimed to be) was as arrogant as can be and spoke only about how amazing his company was.

Pretty much nothing about inspiring the young professionals attending, which is not really in the spirit of Hackathons. I will say that as arrogant as his speech was, his was pretty much the only one I still remember to this day, so I guess it was effective if nothing else.

With DO, I've noticed that you can enter login credentials into the sign up screen and it works to authenticate you if you have an existing account.

How hard would it be for DO to change the sign up button to 'Sign up/Login'? Seems like an utterly trivial change to make for something that's completely possible, but totally hidden, while the 'visible' solution is extremely aggravating.

That's a textbook example of poor UI.

I've seen a lot of rhetoric, even on HN, that frontend/webdev is "not that hard", that frontend/webdev engineers are doing busy work to justify their jobs, etc. And then people with this mentality go to their jobs, they subconsciously or overtly promote these views in their workplaces, people who are good at this stuff try to avoid toxic workplaces that undervalue them rhetorically or with actual compensation, and then you wind up with "easily" fixable things like this and the toxic people blame the frontend engineers who are willing to stay in environments like this.
