Receiving and decoding satellites is (in my opinion) one of the coolest things you can do with a radio. The problem is that it has a steep learning curve. Protocols are complicated, signals are hard to catch and track, and requires an investment in equipment just to get started. Netsat is an internet stream that simulates the experience of receiving a satellite signal with an SDR. I simplified the physics quite a bit to make it easier to get started. In the future I'm looking to add more simulated satellites that give users a bit more of a challenge. More realistic physics, location based sig…

Porsche’s electric Macan Turbo is an automotive existential crisishttps://techcrunch.com/2026/10/16/porsches-electric-macan-turbo-is-an-automotive-existential-crisis
Maybe it was the grey color, the slightly bulbous roofline, or the vaguely SUV-like proportions of the electric Porsche Macan, but as I shuttled kids and groceries around city and suburban streets, I never once noticed a longing stare from other drivers. Unlike with other cars I’ve tested, no enthusiasts stopped to ask me questions. […]

Show HN: Donut Browser, the most private anti-detect browserhttps://github.com/donutbrowser/donutbrowser
Hi everyone! About 2 years ago, I began to work on Donut Browser as a tool to manage browser profiles, which over time has evolved into a proper anti-detect browser. Anti-detect browsers let you create browser profiles that look like as if you have a completely different computer. I believe Donut is the most private anti-detect browser because: - It has no telemetry and doesn't track your browsing activity - It spoofs your browser identity in a way that looks like a real device for every profile - It notifies you when a website takes a snapshot of your browser identity - It is built on top of…

Show HN: Sill for Android – control your Mac's windows from an Android phonehttps://github.com/rahimnathwani/sill-android
Sill (discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50112739 ) streams one Mac window, or the whole Desktop, to an iPhone or iPad and lets you control it by touch. It's open source, so I made an Android client for it. It's unofficial and not affiliated with Sill's author: it speaks Sill's existing protocol, so the Mac side is the stock Sill app, unchanged. Install Sill on the Mac, sideload the APK from Releases onto an Android 11+ phone on the same Wi-Fi, tap your Mac in the list that shows on your phone, then look for the 12-digit code in Sill on your Mac, and type it into the Android…
