I would have loved this for my road trips in the US. From the other apps it was never clear whether this was a restaurant or a gas station where it's next to the highway (a quick stop) or I had to drive a mile into a town and find it. Perhaps it has improved since then (this was 2015-ish). Congrats on building this!

Cloudflare was down 8 months ago

Somebody at Cloudflare is stretching that initial investigation time as much as possible to avoid having to update their status to being down and losing that Christmas bonus.

From Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/UpliftingNews/comments/1i1uvjq/scam...

    French start up Find My Scammer carried out the investigation pro bono as the victim has literally no money left in her account, not even a cent.

    Victim had no experience whatsoever with social media before creating an Instagram account in 2023 to share holiday pictures.

    Victim was targeted after liking pictures related to Brad Pitt on Instagram.

    Victim was in the midst of a divorce before being contacted by scammer.

    Victim was groomed for months and months by scammer passing themselves as Pitt's mother, agent, etc, in addition to Pitt himself, using American phone numbers, fake articles, etc.

    Victim had no knowledge of technologies such as deepfake.

    Victim was lulled into a sense of security as grooming lasted for many months before she was asked to send money for the first time, thinking that such a scam would be more immediate.

    Victim has HIV and cancer, tried to end her life three times.

    French TV program which revealed the story accused of manipulating the subject matter and misrepresent facts to encourage ridicule against victim, has been pulled off all platforms.

    Scammer found in Benin, was tricked into clicking a link which gave start up full access to his computer, phone, information, living address, etc. Crypto wallet where the stolen money is stored found. All information in the hands of authorities investigating the crime.

    Scammer has over 30 victims. Also poses as fake Keanu Reeves.

Stripe notifies you of an issuer dispute raised through the respective scheme. They have no control except being a messenger back and forth between you and then customers issuing bank and the scheme. So not on Stripe this one. And this is coming from someone who absolutely despises Stripe. Especially you, Alan from Stripe.

Less of an issue in economy seats seats but in new business class seats or suites there’s the possibility for a lot of crushing and grinding of the battery of the phone with the mechanical moving components of the seat.

I had it happen to me once but as instructed didn’t move the seat (had to move to another one for landing as it was stuck in the lie flat position).

After landing the maintenance crew had to completely dismantle the back of the seat but they found the phone. The pilots and crew were obviously a bit annoyed as they couldn’t disembark the aircraft with me still on board. But much better result than having to declare PAN PAN.

PhpBB 3 years ago

Modding phpBB and starting new forums using phpBB (and later Invision Community) got me into php dev and basically the job and career I now have.

Such a great product for building communities. It would be so good having this feeling again browsing forums on this software. The Subsilver theme was iconic and legendary.
