GPUboy··on Google has removed the option to disable autoplay from Mobile Chrome
This could also just be a mistake. There's often regressions or bugs in mobile chrome.
GPUboy··on Show HN: Share Streaming Services With Friends(Even if they don’t own accounts)
Thanks! The signup page has been updated to include Eula and Privacy Policies.

We believe since we limit it to a handful of friends, and netflix doesn't prosecute users who share with friends, this flies under fair use. If we let people broadcast freely to millions, I could see how it would cut into revenues.

Currently, vidshared streaming would be lower bandwidth than the high res netflix streams, so I believe this can work like a viral marketing strategy for them: their customers can share and sell it to their friends actively now. I could be wrong though :) If any streaming service wants us to remove support, let us know!

GPUboy··on Show HN: Share Streaming Services With Friends(Even if they don’t own accounts)
Available as a firefox addon or chrome extension.

Share your netflix/hbogo/youtube with up to 5 friends even if they don't own an account.

The host requires a fairly good graphics card to stream the screen, netflix, and videorooms. Viewers can run on simple laptops without owning the streaming service. If you own a streaming service and would like us to add support, it can work like a viral marketing strategy, since your customers would share and sell your service for you. If they want the full experience or to become hosts themselves, they can purchase it.

I appreciate any feedback, bug reports, or requests to support streaming services.

bump? bump. https://medium.com/@rohanarun/a-better-solution-for-autonomo...

When I proposed this to nVidia engineers, fairly high up, they argued that if humans could do it with two eyes, they could do it in 3 years. It's now 5 years later.

GPUboy··on America’s Havana: Thousands Say “Ciao” to San Francisco
As someone who lived between SF and LA for the last decade, most everyone wants to leave after they "make it." It's a minority, mostly naive newcomers who came from the suburbs like myself, who are enamored by it.

It's understandable to be biased against admitting a mistake, most people are, but eventually most see objective reason.

GPUboy··on What would you do if you lost your Google account?
Hey, I too run a business that requires an extension. There are ways to distribute that don't include the chrome webstore, and ways to run them that don't include chrome(like chromium and kiwi on Android). It actually even increases conversion rates in some cases not using their walled garden.
GPUboy··on Japanese aquarium urges public to video-chat with eels
Maybe this reaction is natural and good. Perhaps they are in a worse state when people are constantly interrupting their lives?
GPUboy··on Zipcall.io – Free browser-based video calling
Hey how is this better than the Janus webrtc server? It's been developed for a decade, and could flip a page like this in an hour or so. I'm genuinely curious how you could surpass it in stealth, like minus the marketing fluff.

Great, thanks! We've also heard cribbage before

Hey, everything should be free right now while we're building, since there's bugs.

There's a monthly and yearly, but likely we'll end up charging less for this when it actually launches. How much would be appropriate like $2/m? We want to make the video rooms free up to 6 people, and only charge for developing extra premium games.

Thanks! Yes we were only looking at public domain games at first.

A partnership would be great, since we could cross promote, and I'm sure a lot of people are looking to try new games.

I'm excited that we developed the same thing so close together. I'd be curious what your inspiration was, because maybe it was similar :) We found an article that showed a grandma facetiming to play chess.

We'd recommend checking out Janus webrtc. It worked well for us, and will work on mobile/firefox. We've used it for years, and it's well developed. Video rooms up to 6 people too, so you could have more options for games

GPUboy··on Show HN: Chess and Video Chat, no login required
Thanks! We'll def do that. Do you have any suggestions on what games should be added?

6 is a limit for Janus webrtc( https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/) but webrtc itself can handle up to 12 it seems at 720p. It really is dependent on the bandwidth each user can support, unless you add in some backend concatenation like Zoom. (I helped with this)

I'd appreciate any feedback: Just launched last month. Built based on feedback from a previous cloud instagram automation service. Growing constantly and profitable thanks to the in-app upgrade to premium and referrals. Doesn't need your password like other cloud-based services. Constantly iterating based on user feedback, and our users love it.
