Linkd··on I Returned the Mac Mini M2 Pro
I tend to use videocardbenchmark.net by PassMark, but I'm sure there's more out there.
Linkd··on GPT3/DALL-E2 in Discord, chat like ChatGPT, generate images, and more
Any similar versions for Slack?
Linkd··on Ask HN: What's Up with the Metaverse?
"Metaverse" isn't a thing, it's a concept, powered by specialized hardware. Checkout their headset sales to answer if anyone is using it.
Linkd··on YouTube Premium price increased by nearly 30%
I assume this would need to happen just once during signup?

Now getting a 404 from the link.
Linkd··on Instagram can track anything you do on any website in their in-app browser
Certainly. See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkscriptmes...
Linkd··on 2022 Cloud Report
I read this as a strategic move. As their main goal is to get your name, company, title and email to download the report. So they were showing you snippets of interesting charts and then quickly covering it up.
Linkd··on Ask HN: Is this an American restaurant? –. and other questions
> As to what qualifies something as an American restaurant I have no idea.

Doesn't matter, but you and 19 other people will be asked that, and if the general consensus is yes, the tag 'American Food' will be added to the restaurant, and you've just been crowdsourced.

Linkd··on SpaceX avoided a Russian jamming attack in Ukraine
Not the drone themselves (yet), but instead the drone operators (to relay information back).
Linkd··on Netflix shares drop 26% after it loses 200K subscribers
I dont think this makes much sense. Where would you be serving media from?
Linkd··on Incident at Slack
And that's exactly how you DDOS your status server.
Linkd··on Ask HN: Why do adblockers still work?
This exists, but is rare and only for larger players. At the end of the day, if the end user can identify the DOM slot the ad goes into, it gets blocked either way. It'll forever be a cat and mouse game.
Linkd··on Show HN: Create animations by dragging an element with your mouse
Love it, but this needs to be able to output GIFs I can easily copy and share on slack, etc. (Unless I missed out how to do that entirely?)
Linkd··on How to make $80k per month on the Apple App Store (2017)
All is takes is a feature flag that completely changes your apps functionality post approval [or better yet, when viewed from within Apples network..] Of course this will get you removed if caught, but throw enough attempts and you'll get to these results.
Linkd··on Cheating in FPS by using a second computer to move mouse
This is so interesting. I'm an avid CSGO player for decades, and watching the cat and mouse battle between cheat creators and Valve has been fascinating. In the last few years, Valve has been pushing for ML-centric approach of cheat detection (vs more intrusive client-side solutions that competitors like Valorant have). And the community feels negatively about that because it hasn't been so effective in the short term. But now after reading this, I understand why. The only way to combat ML-cheats, is with ML detection..
Linkd··on Reddit Claims 52M Daily Users, Revealing a Key Figure for Social-Media Platforms
Exact same thing happened with digg.com

Agreed, password is the bare minimum.
Linkd··on New ‘Meow’ attack has deleted almost 4k unsecured databases
Simply set a secure password on any DB instances exposed to the internet.
Linkd··on WindowSwap: View someone's window somewhere in the world
Beautiful project. I once had an idea to do some similar but with real time live camera feeds. And some sort of subscription/marketplace where people with amazing views would get paid to share their amazing views, and other folks would subscribe to that realtime 24/7 feed.
Linkd··on Show HN: Pxy – A Go server that proxies websocket livestreams to RTMP servers
I think the inverse of this (RTMP to Websockets) would be more interesting.
Linkd··on Paul Graham’s thoughts, discoveries, and tricks on parenthood
I love to highlight text on my browser as I read. The fact that it auto-clicks into the tweets as I'm highlight is infuriating.
Linkd··on Trolls break into meetings on Zoom
From experience with many options, and having used zoom for over a year now: Video quality is better, audio quality is better, video and audio are streamed separately and during low bandwidth situations audio takes priority over video (video starts lagging but audio remains as perfect as possible), seamless to join meetings even when youre not a 'user' of their ecosystem, and has neat UX like informing you that your microphone is soft-muted when it notices you speaking, etc etc.
Linkd··on Show HN: To fight quarantine boredom I build a site to watch movies with friends
plug.dj is the closest to turntable, in that they use embedded youtube/vimeo videos synced between all the users in the room. Completely offloading their biggest cost (media storage/bw) into public video platforms -- genius.
Linkd··on Custom resume from someone who wanted to work at Airbnb (2015)
Perhaps to avoid search engine indexing?
Linkd··on Exposed Webcam Viewer
Oh wow.. http://cryptogasm.com/webcams/webcam.php?id=36767 This one is from what looks like someones living room a few minutes away from me. Where are these precise coordinates coming from?
