This was really wild to watch. Honey is so masterfully crafted to be deceiving. I had it installed years ago, and it intuitively felt like something was scammy, so I uninstalled it. Really incredible work by MegaLag. It seems to be a wholesome trend among creators like Coffeezilla, etc. I hope more of this rot will surface.
They're trying to position themselves as Yelp of coupons. They snatch coupons that people use (for example 90% off special coupons meant for specific people, that just happened to have the extension installed), then they have a partner program for companies that allows the partners to control what coupons honey can apply on their site.
You don't need to join it, but then your customers get automagically the high value coupons applied, but if you pay them $XX per month, you can limit what gets applied.
Proper old school investigative journalism, and he didn't hold back. Terrific scam, but, y'know, PayPal – I'm an old timer and remember the early days of that outfit. They're still blocked at the firewall from events 25 years ago.
A quick experiment to play around with the WebXR API (currently working only in Chrome Android 81+).
It's impressive how it is now possible to build full-blown AR apps straight into the browser, using just frontend stack. We built this using three.js in just a few days for fun, and the whole website with 3d models and sounds is ~15mb.
> That sort of suggests another question, though: why are we in the App Store at all? Because as far as I know, Apple only allows NetworkExtension-based apps to be distributed via the App Store, according to their developer relations guy [6], so we're locked in. And even if they were to change that someday somehow, and we went to standalone distribution, we would then have to support two parallel distribution channels so as not to abandon former Mac App Store users, presumably, which means we'd still be limited by App Store restrictions.

Thank you for this. I was in high school around that time and started play around with Flash with my friends.
This was mind-blowing when it came out. It has been one of my references of cool interactions for many years back in the days, thanks.
Second this. I have the same router and it's extremely easy to setup, and it supports Wireguard out of the box, which I love for its simplicity.
It has a simple interface on top of openWRT, for non-experts like me. Support is a bit crap as it's all in Chinese but it works like a charm.
I have to chime in with a third; I have been very happy with my AR300M from the same supplier for the last CPI years and I am planning on a new one from them soon.
