Ask HN: Friends Google account hacked, what can he do?

My friend has had a rough year (stressful completion to PhD, poor job market, immigration struggles with wife). To top it off, his Google account was just hacked in what seems to be a targeted attack after losing his US number.All passwords changed, completely lost access and cannot gain any access back to the accounts. All phone number/recovery options changes en masse. Lifetime of photos, etc. have been lost and he is really bummed.Given that a lot of technies and Googlers exist on this p

Show HN: Krowdovi – Video-based indoor navigation on a DePIN creator economy

What is this?Krowdovi is an open-source platform that lets anyone with a smartphone record first-person navigation videos of indoor spaces - hospitals, airports, malls, universities - and earn tokens for helping others find their way around. It's built on Solana using a burn-and-mint DePIN model.The project addresses two problems:Indoor navigation is still broken. 30% of first-time hospital visitors get lost or arrive late to appointments, costing large hospitals $200K-$500K annually in sta

What do people usually do with spare Android phones? Any practical use cases?

I’ve been thinking about practical ways people reuse spare or unused Android devices instead of letting them sit in a drawer.I’ve seen cases where phones are used for testing, monitoring, background tasks, or other always-online purposes after a one-time setup. No user interaction, just keeping the device connected and running.Curious what real-world use cases others have actually found useful. Are there setups that worked well long-term, or things to avoid?Not trying to promote anything here —

Show HN: VectorVid – Convert Videos to RAG-Ready Chunks (No UI, No DB)

Hi HN, I built VectorVid after repeatedly seeing teams hack together Whisper + vector DB to search inside webinars and demos.The problem: You have 100+ hours of videos. You want to index them for RAG. But the pipeline is messy—transcription, frame sampling, OCR, chunking, embeddings, then plugging into your own vector DB.VectorVid does one thing: video → RAG-ready JSON.Input: Video URL (webinar, lecture, demo) Output: { chunks: [{ start_sec, end_sec, text, scene_description, ocr_text, embedding

Show HN: Airgapped Android Setup with a Makefile

Hello guys,I can't deny that I see the world of mobile devices as a threat to privacy, but at same time, smartphones are pretty convenient pocket computers. So I think there's a lot of room for improvement.I've been working the last weeks in a personal challenge to setup my Android phone without any external connection on it. Neither a hotspot.I really liked the process, and despite it's status being pretty much a prototype, it's usable, and brought me some thoughts, and

Ask HN: How do you use 5–10 minute gaps productively?

I often have 5-10m gaps. It’s too easy to waste this time.What things do you like to do in these increments?For instance, learning a new skill, getting slightly better at something, reading high quality content.Edited to clarify that I don’t mean phone-specific activities!

Show HN: Phone number validation API focused on fake signups

Hi HN,I built a phone number validation API after dealing with fake signups, burner numbers, and VoIP abuse in my own projects.What it does: – Strict parsing & normalization to E.164 – Country detection by prefix – Number type detection (mobile / fixed / VoIP / toll-free) – Assigned vs possible prefix checks (NANP and some EU ranges) – Simple heuristics for obvious fake patterns – A single risk score (0–100) instead of binary valid/invalidWhat it intentionally does NOT do
