It says it checks if those folders are available - which could mean checking if the name is not already taken, and then creating the path for itself to use.

Thanks for that! I was hoping something like this existed so I could do the car audio aux + gps + charging.

So we finally get validation of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5300492

Yet another (hilarious?) false match: https://logo.clearbit.com/exxon.com

That's because Exxon specified that image. Check the HTML on exxon.com:

That doesn't change the fact that it's a false positive…

I don't know about you, but I can't bring myself to punch my ID into a random website.

They should really accept a hash of your email/username to lookup. Then we can an idea of if we've been pwned without giving additional information if we haven't been.

I'm not sure how that would help. They would have to generate a matching hash on their end, giving them a lookup table to work backwards from hash to email address.

Now if they wanted to supply a list of hashes to the public, then you could check your own without knowing any of the other addresses used to generate the remaining hashes.

Yes, but they would already have your e-mail address anyway. Lookup by hash precludes the case where you're giving them information they didn't already have.

True. I was more referring to it being a confirmation that this is an email address that anyone cares about.

If I wanted to be truly malicious I'd have my online checker return a "Nope, you're all good" and then add that email address to the short list of accounts to go after.

But you're still feeding into the "this is a good working address" and "this is a security newb" email lists.

It only asks for your e-mail address, not your password or any other secret information.

I feel like I will have been pwnd.

Maybe that's the next website to build: willihavebeenpwnd.com and then whenwillibepwnd.com

It's time to break out Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's new Guide to Future Domain Names.

Unless you use different usernames/email addresses for all the websites you sign up for, this website isn't any more or less random than any of the hundreds of websites you've punched your ID into (and of which some, more likely than not, has been compromised).

The fact that your username exists is almost always public information, and all you'd be disclosing. That's why we have passwords.

If you fear your credit card info has been stolen, enter it here and you can find out for free. Avoiding fraud has never been easier!

Not the same thing at all because your e-mail address isn't a security token. e-mail addresses aren't secret; you give them away all the time.

Would you put your credit card info on a business card and give it to people you meet?

>Would you put your credit card info on a business card and give it to people you meet?

Of course not, I just hand it to the minimum wage cashier, say it over the phone whenever I am ordering delivery, and type it into online stores.

But the point is that your email is possibly already out there, circulating around. Would you rather not know?

Reddit has a lot of pictures of various setups, though maybe not specifically for "home office" purposes...

Indeed - I stopped short for exactly the same reason. Can't imagine why I'd want a reader app to mess with my contacts in any way.

It's something I'd like to tinker with.. I plan on using it as a frontend for my media center with the raspBMC software.

The Raspberry Pi sounds great, but like many others I've been waiting for weeks since my order with no feedback at all on when it might ship.

There's certainly a bias in the shipping thread, but you can find plenty of folks having issues!

I got my first RPi from Newark about five months ago, and it only took 3-4 business days to show up after I placed my order (and their customer service people called me on the phone to make sure I got it! Talk about high-touch, B2B). I just ordered another 512KB RPi from Adafruit, slightly more expensive, but better selection of cases / breakout cables / etc., and they shipped less than 12 hours after I placed the order...

I ordered mine three days after they were released and it arrived a little over nine months later from RS. My cousin ordered three months after I did from the same place and got his in a few weeks. It seems like some orders are slipping through the cracks.

Out of curiosity where are you ordering from / having them shipped to?

This is probably the 5th time I've seen someone post something similar but all of mine have arrived within a few days or weeks.

So far I've ordered from Newark/Element14 and MCM Electronics and I'm in the US.

I ordered from Allied, and I'm also in the US.

I'm tempted to cancel and place the order elsewhere...

I placed my order, heard nothing for 4 months, then all of the sudden got a shipping notice and it showed up two days later. All I know is they're shipping them as fast as they get them.

If it's been a while, why not drop their customer service a note and ask for an update? If you're polite I doubt they'll begrudge you that.

EDIT: Also ordered from Allied in the US (California)

Allied took roughly three months to ship one to me. Ordering elsewhere probably isn't a bad idea.

A friend of mine in the UK bought one on ebay and it shipped right away.

Those look exactly like the phishing emails I received on my dropbox-specific email address
