New best story on Hacker News: Tell HN: Postman update removes all your stuff if you refuse to create account

Tell HN: Postman update removes all your stuff if you refuse to create account
347 by drunner | 169 comments on Hacker News.
I have been using postman offline without an account for a long time. Today when I opened the program it asked me to create an account. When I declined, it wiped all my collections and everything else. All I have is a 'history' to work with and try to piece back together all the variables and collections that I had setup. I relented and created an account, but it did not recover anything. Beware! Update: I was able to manually import/restore using a backup I found in ~/.config/Postman but I have no trust for continued use of this tool. Any alternatives that I can migrate to?

Ask HN: I’m an FCC Commissioner proposing regulation of IoT security updates 449 by SimingtonFCC | 144 comments on Hacker News. Hi everyone, I’m FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington, and I’m here to discuss security updates for IoT devices and how you can make a difference by filing comments with the FCC. As you know, serious vulnerabilities are common in IoT, and it often takes too long for these to be patched on end-user devices—if the manufacturer even bothers to release an update, and if the device was even designed to receive them. Companies may cease supporting a device well before consumers have stopped using it. The support period is often not communicated at the time of sale. And sometimes the end of support is not even announced, leaving even informed users unsure whether their devices are still safe. I’ve advocated for the FCC to require device manufacturers to support their devices with security updates for a reasonable amount of time [1]. I can't bring such a proposal
