    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: [1] https://static.googleusercontent.co…

    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 alway…

    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, cau…

    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…

    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 c…

    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 a…

    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 …

    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 wel…

    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 th…

    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…
