pete1302··on Ask HN: What are some modern technologies that you refuse to adopt?
- Shorts/Reels (do I need to give a reason for this)(I happily "choose" a good 30 min+ fails/funny/wins compilation and watch it rather than playing with a slot machine). - Instagram (I am not a photographer/artist, then why should I convey everything to my friends in Audiovisual way?)(even Facebook was better).
pete1302··on Nearly all UK drivers say headlights are too bright
As a daily commuter in North-IND I can confirm this, It is not even the car height difference anymore, people are getting aftermarket abominations on their sedans and not getting them height adjusted, the H-beam throw is all over the place.

This has been a really huge problem in India lately, gone are the days of cute cars with minimal edges (Volkswagen Phaeton looked amazing IMO), now everyone is buying Cybertruck Clones offered by Mahindra and TATA Example: Mahindra BE 6, New Thar, and endless other examples

pete1302··on Show HN: Beatsync – perfect audio sync across multiple devices
I was eagerly expecting such practical breakdown of the Vision. Thanks for the numbers.

But, the scenario is of a Open-Source solution for a Student living in a Hostel/ Home.

The Vision is tilted towards Hostel Dorms where you won't bother a Home Theater, but where every friend has Apple device( any robust device with good onboard audio).

My Friend himself has a MBPRO and 2 iPhones, Totalling to 6 Apple device( Audio Sinks).

Great solution based on websocket!.

My Vision: A web based VLC-type webplayer (capable of VLC level features) with support to distribute Audio channels over connect devices.

Here me out: - Mac as display(Movies screen) - iPad as a Center channel - 4 iPhones as LR and rear channels, (and something for LFE).

Is it Practical? sound cool in my head. What do you guys think??
