infinita740··on Muse Wonder
Could it be because you are behind carrier grade NAT and these people share a common IP with you?

I imagine meta wants to make it easy to connect to "your" account in the same house if you have multiple devices.

infinita740··on Unicode 18.0.0 Beta
Pretty cool vizualisation.

There is also GNU unifont [1] "The original intent of Unifont was to offer a simple font format with wide Unicode coverage to render something meaningful for each Unicode code point"

I use ms edge for this exact use case. Works well enough on any platform
infinita740··on Microsoft's AI chatbot will 'recall' everything you do on its new PCs
This look very similar to a (mac only?) product that was discussed on HN a few years ago: https://www.rewind.ai/

Discussion at the time (featuring very similar privacy concerns): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33421751

infinita740··on Launch HN: Okapi (YC W24) – A new, flexible CRM with good UX
Congrats on your launch and good luck building it, I agree with other comments that dashboards and views are pretty important.

Small bug report: when editing the dropdown, current entries have "API Name" disabled (this is normal), but the value is changend automatically when editing the "Display name". The page errors out (400 error for UpdateObject).

When using devtools and editing "API Name" to stay the same, everything works.

infinita740··on Windows Protected Print Mode
If IPP is HTTP-based would it be possible to print directly from the brower to the printer, regardless of OS?

That would be kinda cool or am I misunderstanding something?

infinita740··on Protonmail can delete the wrong email and nobody cares
It's a single data point but a friend of mine had an outage with ".online" in switzerland.

We resolved it by pointing clients to use google dns.

Never had similar problems with .com

Thank you very much! Saved me a lot of time.

infinita740··on All-new iMac features the M1 chip
From the article: "support for up to a 6K display".

Seems like it's the same as the M1 MacBook Air and Pro.

From the end of the post:

> This iPhone would never be able to boot iOS again, as its nvme nand is completely dead.

infinita740··on Js13kGames Winners – JavaScript games with a file size limit of 13KB
If you liked Lost In a Space Odyssey check out "Lovers in a dangerous spacetime"[1] which it seems to draw inspiration from (similar artstyle and mechanics). It's a really fun and well made co-op game.

infinita740··on Apple does right by users and advertisers are displeased
Meanwhile they allow locations services to continue even after the user "turns off" the wifi following android footsteps(1). So tracking in apps will be worse for users.

As a customer really it seems they talk a lot about privacy yet implements "sneaky" changes like this, it seems a bit dishonest.

1. I know the feature is a different in IOS (it only disconnects connected devices) but for location services/tracking this is effectively the same as android. see: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208086

infinita740··on Cannes Will Ban Streaming-Only Movies from Competition
11.99€ for the "UHD/4k" subscription, my local cinema costs 7.80€.

I agree it is still reasonable but I feel that a limited release would be better as a subscription for a single film is pretty dumb IMO.

infinita740··on Cannes Will Ban Streaming-Only Movies from Competition
As a french I strongly disagree that Netflix or Amazon provide a viewer friendly movie viewing experience. You are forced into a subscription that provides little to no value because their library is really small in France (for movies).

As for the regulations I agree that they are too strict for the digital age but not releasing in the theaters is a pretty bad solution IMO.

infinita740··on France bans unlimited sugary drink refills
It's only a thing in some fast food chains like KFC or Quick.
infinita740··on Ask HN: Books you read in 2016?
I read mostly on my kindle, I also read a few technical books as pdf on my laptop.

I read two physical books this year (~25 on kindle).

I read a lot of books at the same time so I find e-readers to be very convenient because I don't have to carry a lot of books as I used to do before.

EDIT: clarification

infinita740··on Introducing Kindle Oasis
Don't feel to bad for buying the voyage. the paperwhite is heavier than even the older Kindle version that I own (no touchscreen with page turn buttons).

I read a lot with one hand and I couldn't make the switch to the paperwhite because of its weight (I read quite a bit with my brother's one, you can definitely feel the difference).

I still agree that the Oasis is really expensive. It's really a shame because it's designed for my favorite use case.

infinita740··on Show HN: %%30%30: A Game
The game doesn't "work" on microsoft edge but the brower doesnt recognize the Stanford links[0] , it is not possible to copy them by right clicking. Going directly to the page by copy/pasting the url doesn't even load the website. IE doesn't seem to understand the url as well.

The only brower I've tried that manages to get a page is firefox[1]

infinita740··on Imgur is Covertly Redirecting Image Links on Facebook and Twitter
Imgur and Dropbox are for two totally different purposes. Typically you would use imgur when you quickly want to share an image (no need for an account), post images on reddit or on a forum (no limit on bandwidth and direct linking).

Looks like someone followed the "advice" of ck2, ebaycoin, paypal and amazoncoin are in this page.
infinita740··on Ferro: A keyboard interface to Chrome
They don't need to copy this on opera extensions. You just have to install this addon https://addons.opera.com/fr/extensions/details/download-chro... to opera. It allows to install any chrome extension directly from the chrome webstore.
infinita740··on Is Kindle Paperwhite really worth it?
Ok thanks for the advice. I guess I'll wait for the next gen to upgrade
infinita740··on Is Kindle Paperwhite really worth it?
I own the previous model (with the physical buttons) and I'm considering upgrading to a Kindle Paperwhite (because of the occasionnal glow on the screen when I read in bed).

The main issue for me is the weight of the device: 206g for the paperwhite and 170 for my older kindle (according to the amazon website).

Is this difference really noticeable? Is it still possible to read with one hand?

infinita740··on Microsoft brings 18-year-old game 'Hover' to browser
I really like it but two remarks: -they changed the graphics (it's no longer "pixelated") -I think the physics are slightly different but maybe I don't really remember
infinita740··on NProgress: slim, site-wide progress bars
This guy make fun of it in his flash games (progress bars go forward then backward) http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/

Brings lots of memories, I used to make flash games in school when I was 15. I always liked those little games. /nostalgia

infinita740··on Upcoming 'Supervised User' Feature of Google Chrome
You can just use multiple browsers
infinita740··on The Road to Luna
IMHO there is a huge market for replacing menus with somthing "simpler" and faster, look at the "ribbon" in MS Office.

ps: not trolling but I gave to my grandma a linux laptop (ubuntu and unity) and I think it's always great to have alternatives

infinita740··on Attaching a Thunderbolt GPU to a Macbook Air
I don't think it's a really great idea, games take a lot of disk space and you must have a windows partition. The macbook air storage is a bit small imo.

Plus you don't want to play on a 13 inches screen, let's be realistic.

Not to mention that "clutering" desk with a full keyboard, a good mouse and a bigger screen will still be needed.
