Same deal, my Hyundai was stolen 3 times from Sept 2021 to October 2022 when I finally sold it.

jjkmk··on Thank You, Valve
The problem is it's not just kids using public cheats. There are private cheats that really damage the integrity of competitive gaming. Counter Strike Global Offensive is a good example of this.
jjkmk··on Adblocking people and non-adblocking people experience a different web
100% agreed. In fact I would feel guilty about not adblocking by supporting these types of practices.

If a site is responsible I will add them to my white list. How do I know if a site is responsible If I'm blocking you might ask? Well you just know.

jjkmk··on Google Is Forcing Me to Dump a Perfectly Good Phone
It's hit or miss, I have had a number of Nexus and Pixel devices and haven't had any issues.

If you use a private tracker you will usually be fine.
jjkmk··on Issues with Cloudflare Images
How does imgur stay alive, out of curiosity.
jjkmk··on Play Counter-Strike 1.6 in your browser
This is really well done, is there an easy way to change mouse sensitivity?
jjkmk··on Pointless work meetings 'really a form of therapy'
I guess it depends how big your team is and how big the company is.

Working on a small team at my current company I don't have this issue at all. I remember when working at IBM that was my main gripe.

jjkmk··on Source: Google Hangouts for consumers will be shutting down sometime in 2020

jjkmk··on Apple Finally Updates MacBook Air with Retina Display, Touch ID
No USB ports? How is that even workable?
jjkmk··on Show HN: Guitar Dashboard – Open source music theory explorer for guitarists
The Major scale is Ionian (the first mode).

What do you mean order of change from Major scale, wouldn't it start from Ionian (I)?

jjkmk··on Show HN: Guitar Dashboard – Open source music theory explorer for guitarists
The Modes should be in order,

Ionian - I

Dorian - ii

Phrygian - iii

Lydian - IV

Mixolydian - V

Aeolian - vi

Locrian - vii

Otherwise its a really useful tool, great job.

jjkmk··on Google Drive issue affecting a significant subset of users
I fixed this issue by fully removing google drive and reinstalling it.

It seems like google released an early beta / alpha version accidentally.

jjkmk··on Show HN: A minimalistic cloud provider
Whats wrong with using Dreamhost for nameservers, does it make any difference at all?
