    When I run the Waveguide Simulator demo on my Alienware M15 Ryzen Ed. R5 (has a RTX 3070; Windows 11 Pro, Chrome v129), I hear a distinct high pitched flutter noise emanating from …

    Previous discussion about this in 2016: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11911116 Last I checked you can always give Chrome a stronger hint not to autocomplete using something …

    I made something very similar for fun a few years ago[0] and added it to a repository called You-Dont-Need-JavaScript[1]. CSS-only for this sort if thing is totally contrived, but …

    Reminds me of a time I once wrote a script in Node to send an endless stream of bytes at a slow & steady pace to bots that were scanning for vulnerable endpoints. It would cause th…

    It's tough to say that Chrome made the right call, as I enjoy being able to (in theory) rely on browsers aiming to be standard compliant. The standard is there for a reason, no? I …

    I deal(t) with the same thing. I made it so my web server would try to stream a page that never ends, and some bots would stay connected for hours and hours. But over time they see…
