Show HN: SIM Screener adds device frames to screenshots and recordingshttps://simscreener.com
Well I posted too soon. You can't install it yet. Oops! Hey HN, I'm Igor. I built Sim Screener because Xcode 27's new Device Hub made taking a nice simulator screenshot impossible. Before Device Hub, you could screenshot the Simulator window and crop off the controls at the top. Now there's a background around the device that ends up in your screenshot. Device Hub's capture button gives you a clean image, but without the device frame. Solution: Sim Screener watches your capture folder and automatically adds the matching iPhone or iPad frame. You get a screenshot with a transparent background,…

Show HN: Turnpanel is a local first AI workspacehttps://turnpanel.com
Hi hacker news, I am Kaushal, founder of echowin and also the guy creating TurnPanel. It began as an internally developed tool because my team and I were so sick of having to constantly bounce context around between ai chats, coding agents engines terminals, browsers files scripts, TurnPanel is a local-first workspace in which an agent can operate throughout your computer, orchestrate other agents and tools, and preserve valuable context over time. Its background maintenance processes transform commonly-used knowledge and tasks into reusable memories and skills stored locally - that's what I…
Public Exploits Released for Four Linux Kernel Flaws That Enable Local Roothttps://thehackernews.com/2026/09/public-exploits-released-for-four-linux.html
A security researcher has released working exploit code for four Linux kernel flaws that each let a local user gain root, the highest level of access on a machine. Kernel maintainers have fixed all four over the past few weeks, so a system running an up-to-date kernel is not affected. But the exploit code is now public, and any machine still running an older kernel should be updated. The flaws
