ZoomStopon Just let me select text

Easier to just use a userscript plugin and have it override those settings on every page

ZoomStopon Why does target="_blank" have an underscore in front?

Site is giving me a 403, here is an Archive mirror: https://archive.ph/aDqv3

ZoomStopon Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes says she cannot afford to pay back victims

Sorry can't cover $250/mo for 150k years. Can we stretch this out a bit and do $75/mo for 500k years?

ZoomStopon Refurb Weekend: The Sega Dreamcast

Not sure if that was the Dreamcast being overpowered, the sheer genius of Randy Linden, or a bit of both.

ZoomStopon Plex: Important notice of a potential data breach

Their password reset system is pretty bogged down right now, they DDOS'd themselves a bit sending the breach notice to their user base.

ZoomStopon Cat S22 Flip Phone

Tech like Android Auto could solve for this in a natural feeling way. Did these CAT phones lack mobile data?

Seems down? Here is a mirror:

ZoomStopon [dead]

Appropriate that a story about RSS is at the top of HN right now then

ZoomStopon Gloss3D – an open source 3D Modeler for Linux and Windows

Some Blender tools with a lower barrier to entry to do small tasks would be amazing, but hard to integrate into a workflow when the only fully supported file format is the Gloss3D format.

ZoomStopon Fastly Outage

The outage has already been added to the Fastly Wikipedia page

ZoomStopon Google Images Restored

It also allows for searching by size which of course Google removed with updates but helps greatly when searching for icons, wallpapers, etc.

The HN hug is strong this morning

ZoomStopon Show HN: Please-unsubscribe.com – fwd emails to unsubscribe from marketing

I find it fitting that #1 on your Wall of Shame is Uber. I've lost count of how many times I've tried to unsubscribe from their marketing. Even marking it as spam in Gmail dosen't seem to help.

ZoomStopon Windows XP source code has leaked

As opposed to where? It is one of the few platforms that would allow a post like this other than security info forums, but if you aren't looking for credits on one of those 4chan is about all that is left.

ZoomStopon Show HN: StowShare – The Airbnb of Storage

Same here. For instance I have a server with 4TB of storage and use less than 1TB of that, it would be cool to be able to "lease" out a block of space to a company that would pay a few dollars a month. There would need to be speed minimums and such, but interesting idea.

ZoomStopon Shippos USPS Time in Transit Data

The data does show getting a parcel from California to most points in the east will have up to a 40% chance of delay. It seems their internal routes are getting backed up and causing a ripple effect.

ZoomStopon Show HN: A fast RSS reader I built with a friend

A demo account would be very much appreciated. I love RSS and use FreshRSS heavily, but registering for this is above my effort threshold for something like this.

ZoomStopon Woman makes $420k by buying insurance on flights she predicted would get delayed

It's hard to look at her work as anything but criminal when she used 20 fake identities to pull this off. Once she ran out what she could do under her own name and started using fake ones, she crossed a line.

ZoomStopon Joe Rogan Is the New Mainstream Media

On NYT and many other sites you can bypass the paywall by editing the URL and adding a '.' between the .com and the rest of the URL (nytimes.com./2020/...)

ZoomStopon Ask HN: I've been slacking off at Google for 6 years. How can I stop this?

Why not? I think it adds context.

ZoomStopon Hepatitis C kills more Americans than all other infectious diseases combined

My dad passed away in August due to Hep C complications. Very true that anyone who has done anything that can put you at risk should be tested. The treatment is criminally expensive but it is curable with it. Sadly my dad, the a-typical medically procrastinating male, didn't start on Sovaldi until it was too late and he died before he could complete treatment.

ZoomStopon Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?

Would you be willing to talk about what affect the exposure on HN had on your business?

ZoomStopon Google clamps down on free storage

It's a charge per month at $2-$3. The lowest annual plan costs $19.95 USD.

My heartburn is Gmail was rolled out as near infinite storage. They told you archive, not delete. And for a while they had a ticker at the bottom showing your storage increasing over time. The cost is modest, but I feel Google isn't being true to the spirit of Gmail when they limit and charge for email storage.

ZoomStopon New pathfinding algorithm

Factorio is still Early Access, 3.5 years and going strong.

ZoomStopon More MS-DOS Games Playable at the Internet Archive

Their donate page says they host 45 PB of data (45k GB). That is a mind boggling amount of data to have available online and can't be cheap. This is absolutely a cause worth donating to.

ZoomStopon Want 1.5TB of RAM in Your PC? It Will Cost You

Watched the video genuinely interested thinking he was somehow going to put 1.5 TB RAM into Mac Mini.. until he said 32GB at 3:11.

ZoomStopon Game developer loses multiplayer service code

A lot of people paid $24.95 for this game, and now they are going to abandon it, announce a sequel, and make it free for anyone who wants it. It's a triple slap in the face to existing customers. They should have re-wrote the needed code or contracted it out.

ZoomStopon Ask HN: Why does Google index pages I cannot access?

Google seems intent on ruining their decent image search engine. The removal of features like search by exact size is making it worthless for certain tasks, without a good alternative.
