Thanks for sharing this, first time I've seen such device, I'd like to add other options that I experienced and would suggest;

- Open your telephone socket, if the actual cable has 5 pairs, it's probably a cat5e cable. It can do 1gbps with a RJ45 connection, just replace the plug and connect tou your device to check, yo ucan get a cheap ethernet cable tester too. If it has just 3 pairs, it can probably do 100mbs automatically with most ethernet capable devices. - If you just need to connect 2 devices, you may probably just use existing cables to do it. More than 2 devices would not work. - If it doesn't work, all those cables probably go to a box, find it and check if they are connected, if not yo ucan just crimp the ends together.

Other alternatives: - As others mentioned, MoCA devices are also able to deliver 1gbps, and there is a higher chance that you may find them in most rooms, and they are almost always connected, so it shoudl be plug&play. - Powerline adapters novadays not too bad as well. I was able to use them in a 30 eyar old home, 3 floors up to provide 500mbs.

If you're following HN regularly, I'm sure you'd see many issues especially for sold Chrome extensions. Really need data? Maybe check these:

I don't understand how can people trust a random app or extension just to have a little convinience. When it comes to big tech people are very privacy conscious. But it's not always big tech may have privacy leaks or would sell your data directly to data brokers most of the time, it's small apps like this.

I'm not saying developer is doing that, but they have power to do so. This app sends every video you're watching to their api, https://sponsor.ajay.app/api/ , and they can do whatever they want with this data. When small apps like this becames popular, they start receiving offers from data brokers/malware business and sometimes developers sell the data or the whole app without even knowing that the data will be used for bad purposes.

Just a reminder, depending on your installation method of youtube-dl , you may have to manually install ffmpeg globally on your system in order to download/mux highest quality videos.

I also noticed that on my Macbook 16", if I use my left ports for external monitors, fans are going louder sooner.

Good work! People talk about how a webcam cover is essential on laptops but I think iOS side of this exploit is even more crucial. Very few people use camera covers for phones, cause they are ugly and new phones have FaceID etc which makes impossible to use a camera cover daily. More importantly, we take our phones to places more private, like bathrooms. Now that iOS Safari support front facing camera stream, I think this discovery worth more than $75K

Yes I know, but most of the time it shows it wrong, it adds some artificial space or it just does not detect the element under the mouse cursor.

I only have limited experience with Figma (my prev experience is with Sketch,Zeplin and Invision), but as a Developer, I'm finding it very hard to inspect elements and find margins, paddings and distances between elements. Not sure if our design team is doing something wrong.

Sorry for misunderstanding, you don't need to. My comment about the DNS was about OP's use of no-ip.

Yes, exactly. Despite the fact that my domain is not listed anyone online, cloudflare dashboard says they blocked 1000s of attempts last month.

I use my Raspberry pi to proxy any cloud video to my LG Smart TV, at native resolution, using rclone mount and Emby Media server. It's great. I can play 4K 100mbit videos from my cloud drives directly on the TV.

Side note, you can also use cloudflare free for dns, it's easy to setup.

I completely agree. If prediction algorithms properly implemented, the Uber crash could be avoided.

I think the next step after proper visual prediction is interpreting the noise around. For example, a human can hear the ambulance siren approaching and slow down in a junction without seeing the vehicle. I think sound interpretation is very important especially in city driving.

Macbooks always turns on dedicated GPU when connected to an external monitor. Maybe you're using it in clamshell mode?

30" Cinema Display is a joy. I used to have one but such a shame that it runs too hot. Living in the UK and working in an office with bad AC, it melted my face :) I let it go.

To anyone planning to use a 30" CinemaDisplay , you will probably need a special Mini DP to Double Dvi active powered adapter. They are not very common so they are a bit expensive. Search for: Tripp Lite Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter Cable with Dual-Link Active USB Power MDP to DVI-D, 6 in. (P137-06N-DVI-DL)

To anyone has a slightly older Mac and thinking about getting a 4k screen: DON'T.

4k is not supported on many older models. Check your official specs. Most Macs has max 1440p@60hz output. 4k is only supported @ 30hz, which is no good for daily usage. And the main problem is, if you get a 4k monitor( to future proof your setup), and try to use it at 1440p, everything will be blurry and pixels will shift and distort.

Just get a native 1440p monitor.

If you have a never Mac, getting a 4k 27" monitor may still be a bad idea. Since 4k is too much for a 27" screen, you will need to use scaling in Mac options, and ideally set it to "looks like 1440p" But this will cause your mac to do 1.5 scaling and create a burden in your GPU and CPU. It will render everything doubled at 5k and try to scale it to 4k. If you're using a Macbook, your fans will never stop even on idle. This is even worse performance than getting a 5k monitor and using it native 2x scaled, which is easy on GPU.

One side note; there is no USB-C Hub that offer 4k@60hz output, technically not possible. You have to get a separate hdmi or dp adapter, or an expensive Thunderbolt 3 dock. But there are some usb-c to hdmi or dp adapters which also offers Power Delivery.

I've already wasted money and time figuring this out, so you don't have to :)

I'd say they wouldn't shut down everything but may stop adding new features.

Wasn't it digital before? By saying manually, wouldn't people just use HMRC's website to submit VAT information. Which I understand will be deprecated now?

Hello, My accountant does all my Vat submission so I don't understand what is Making Tax digital. Could you explain it in a few sentences, please? and why I may need this app.

This was inevitable. I suppose Apple's new "Find My Device even if it's offline" mode, which uses bluetooth to emit devices location, will help thieves to find these devices as well.

It's injecting the malicious script into the source of http pages. With httpS, this is not possible unless you also change the root certificate of the computer.

If Steam says "We're shutting down" , I would be able to download the games to my computer and manage my own backups. If Stadia shuts down, the games I've bought will vanish. In that case, I hope Google would make a deal with a company like Steam to transfer already purchased games. Actually, If I buy a game, I'd like to be able to download it just in case if I wanna play with low settings on my laptop while I'm on holiday with crappy internet connection. PS Now gives you option to download and/or stream PS4 games.

In order to prevent code duplication on a global scale, we need more frameworks, like leftpad. :sarc:

Thanks for the details? Is it a common procedure? Are they doing that to everyone coming to US?

I don't understand. Is this really a thing? I'm from the UK and never heard such a thing. Is this common in US? What are they looking for? Do they just pick someone randomly, login to the laptop and check emails and stuff?

On the other hand, iPhone's "Clock" app has an icon that shows the correct time with a super smooth seconds indicator. Which doesn't drain the battery.

That's great! I'd like to use this but sending my enterprise data to a third party is not very secure. Do they provide a docker image or ami?

There were no filtering last time I've checked. Now, it looks like they've fixed the problem by completely deleting search results page, it's returning 404 :)

Biggest problem here is their architectural design. They're mixing server side code with front end. They're printing angular code using back end, but they are not filtering {} characters. Basically, user can execute any angular code, therefore any javascript.

vow, what a great article. Really enjoyed it, you've cracked me up at "SOAP -You are so far from the road of game development, you can't even see it." I've developed some small games, but never published them, only showed to colleagues and friends. Coding games is a like a hobby for me as I've my daily job as a web developer. I'd really like to step in indie gaming scene someday and I'll definitely follow the advice from this blog post.
