Hello,

I am a bit troubled. I want to get rid of my smarthpone. But the banks i am using only offer the TAN generation via Apps. I can't even make a wire transfer from my computer without the app on my smartphone.

I am thinking about trying to build a relay service with an emulated android device or so that will read out that tan & send it me via SMS. I know this would probably require a lot of effort for this small task, but i don't see my bank or another bank switching back to SMS.

Or what else could i do? what would you do?

Dear HN,

I have never used the Touchbar and always disliked it immensely. Now that the fest of love is near, I thought, I might be a bit more open, after ignoring and being mean to it for the past 3 years.

Do you know of any creative apps / concepts using the touchbar? They do not have to be useful per se, just a cool idea or concept. Also, if it is not an app, maybe just an idea you had in your mind, I'd like to hear it.

I will be buying a new laptop soon and it will for sure not a have a Touchbar (probably not even a mac). So I'd like to at least check, if I have just a missed a major opportunity to have some fun coming up with creative ideas for it.

The only thing I have seen that I found really, really cool, was the "Samplr Touchbar app": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMlmzTBF_LE

I found it mentioned here, when searching HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25049595

What else is there? Maybe a concept that just didn't work out but was a neat idea?

Don't worry, I am not looking to become a "Touchbar" activist. Just feel there must be something to it, that not even apple could think of, that would be a cool use case. I couldn't find anything online.
