For those without a Twitter account confused by its hostile UI, here is a link to the video https://twitter.com/atc1441/status/1762969015197053110

I'm wondering: IS there a way to get to that video from the linked tweet without being logged in? I could not figure it out. Thank you for your service of providing the video.

Yep! For now at least:

1. Copy the ID at the end of the URL

2. Replace the xxxxx in this URL[1] with the ID you just copied

3. Go visit the new URL you just created

So in this case, the bypass URL would be [2]

[1] https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=xxxxx

[2] https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=17629748464...

I wish people didn't post twitter links to HN. They're almost always useless now you have to have an account.

I’ve never upvoted a Twitter submission – even if provokes a good discussion on Hacker News. I don’t think Twitter is conducive to meaningful discourse and I don’t want to promote it. Since they renamed to X, the situation has only worsened with its user-hostile UI and required logins.

Or just "yt-dlp "

yt-dlp ( https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp ) still works pretty well at the current state of Twitter.

Does anyone know the actual model of toothbrush?

https://www.evowera.com/en/html/mini_person_norm.html

Interesting! I was wondering what in the world you could do with a computer inside a toothbrush. From the product page[1]:

- Zone reminder for uncleaned aread

- Intense pressure reminder

- Some kind of tracking through an app

- Send each other stickers through the display

Typical case of very niche/almost useful feature set for smart devices. If the zone tracking is accurate, it could potentially help a lot of people who have trouble concentrating on brushing. And some sort of reminder would be great I'm sure.

But bundling all that with an app and a big expensive display is just silly. An indicator LED and haptic feedback for over-bushed areas would be just as good (if not better) usability.

That person just replaced the internals with an OLED display and controller

That is so disappointing lol, all this time I thought it was running on the actual pregnancy test hardware.

I was disappointed more promptly when reading further into the thing back then... but most people were misled to think it was running on the test hw
