I'm pretty sure that's Andreas Hausladen (idefixpack.de) Huge thanks to him!

For everyday use Windows Defender is fine to me. If I'm ever doing something risky, I'll have a one time VM (probably still not bullet proof).

My gut feeling is that antivirus companies selling solutions to the average customer are scams since Windows Defender does the work 99% of the time. Plus their "selling" techniques are often limited to forgetting a checked box and annoying popups 30 days after that.

In a company setup / or if you're at risk (journalism, politics or preferring tabs over spaces) it probably makes sense to have an antivirus.

Feel free to uninstall the McAfee malware.

A probably useless tool to replace words in text files. Looking back it's probably for those not using a good text editor + not knowing regex, but it was fun, and useful to me at the time.

Absolutely great work! UX is actully pretty good and I think it helps understanding some usefull basics. I remember using it a while ago, I think I'm guilty of this one https://noisecraft.app/113

So you're telling me you're developping version control for Ableton projects ? Because that's something I need !

Markov's chain?

I'm failing to understand your logic. Google could put a call center in every country to handle local user's requests could'nt they ?

Your ISP can afford to do so...

But yes, as they have a monopoly, they can afford not putting any call center anywhere.

In my experience, people who want you to fix their PCs mainly want you to get stuff done, rarely do they want to know what you've done precisely or learn "how to". Still, teaching some basics (mouse controls, basic shortcuts and web browser basics) is essential, but make sure you can be efficient at just fixing their machine.

Good luck to everybody for the upcoming Christmas fixes.

Interesting idea I'll try to use this in a team setup.

Quick remark about the site, I expected the site's tool presentation to be an actual video, with sound about the app and most importantly fullscreen capabilities. I can barely see the video's text on mobile (bigger font also needed). But no auto play if there's sound please. Congrats

A fun game you can do using this is picking two random pages, and get from one to the other in the least steps possible / as fast as possible.

Hard rules:

Lists (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_advertising_c...) can't be navigated to

Back button can't be used (click wisely)

Additional rule:

Ctrl+F banned

How about connecting multiple LEDs to a single website and track what section / page of the site is being viewed? Not sure how feasible it is but it could be fun too.

Also, who doesn't like to gather around a nice flaming circuit board on monday morning to warm everybody up and enjoy a coffee

> I think a lot of people are looking for that. This is especially true for folks with lower-end hardware where hardware decoding may be supported by the system but not (well) by the browser, or at least the rest of the browser runtime would use way too much resources.

That's what I'm trying to archieve with a C++ client. I feel like picking C++ with Qt is the best in terms of portability and performances. As a Youtube binge watcher I feel like I'm wasting resources by going through a browser. Honestly that's still really basic. A few API calls for search and recommended, and then delegate the core functionalities (playing and downloading media) to vlc and youtube-dl (need to switch to the new and maintained equivalent btw)

> If your project's architecture is not too complex and the dependencies are easy to package, some external contributors (me?) could help with that.

I plan on doing some cleanup and post an MVP on HN, I'll keep you updated!

Anybody using / looking for a heavy client (a desktop app) for Youtube? I'm currently working on that in C++ (Qt). For now it's just small window presenting a searchbar, the list of search results and suggested videos. Playing the vid / playlist is done by opening a separate vlc window.

Isn't it the purpose of the new "Add to queue" feature? Hover a video add you'll see a "Watch later" and "Add to queue". Never used it myself.

> Why can't I select text on that page?

F12 => document.designMode = "on" worked aswell
