There have been leaps and bounds of progress in the last few years. Youtube hardware acceleration works perfectly in chrome/firefox now (assuming you have working video drivers).

As far as I know netflix still limits you to 720p under most browsers (although their support page shows that opera of all things supports 1080p)

If you hold out for a few more paragraphs until he gets past the installer there is closure:

The issue is that he was using an obscure gaming mouse, and the solution was to use a different mouse.

> and the solution was to use a different mouse.

Or make a small edit to a config file, to work around that nonstandard mouse vendor's mistake.

The second to last bullet point on the post is about the Samsung client, which (as you are aware) has been written but is currently held up in review Samsung. The first round of review took about 3 months(?!), and they are working through reproducing the vaguely stated issues found in the review.

It is thankless work, but they are actually quite close!

Finally! I can't wait to uninstall Plex.

no the op, but I find great joy in looking though who sends me spam (based on the unique email used to sign up for each service)

I think it scratches a similar itch to putting up a game camera to see what sort of vermin are running around in your back yard.

You inevitably catch LexisNexis shitting in your herb garden and leaving squirrel carcasses lying about…

Not OP but I have had a set of the bose noise canceling earbuds that I have worn 5 days a a week for over 5 years now and absolutely love them. Noise canceling is excellent, comparable to the over-the-ear-style.

My main complaint is the onboarding process really pushes you to install their app. It is entirely unnecessary (can configure them by various tap codes) but still annoying they don't tell you that until you install the app...

I have been self hosting a matrix setup for a few years now, using the spantaleev ansible playbook. It does require updates roughly once a year to keep up with changes of the 3rd party chat APIs. Generally that involves logging into the server and running 'just update' followed by 'just install-all', but occasionally there are changes that need updates to the playbook as described in the release notes. In the worst case, if one of your bridges does go down you can always fall back to the vendor client for that protocol until you get the bridge updated.

Overall it has been absolutely rock solid, and the new element x app has been night and day compared to the old one.

Feels a lot like the days of using Pidgin chat, but since the bridges run on the server you only need to authenticate once instead of going through the process for every device.

It is incredible to see a concept going from 'optical table of sensitive equipment fraught with numerous safety concerns' to 'here is a 1 kB svg animation, stare at it for 1 minute' in 3 months.

Enjoy your forbidden color, you earned it!

The article however concludes: “So do the illusions actually take you outside the natural human color gamut? Unfortunately, I’m not sure. I can’t find much quantitative information about how much your cones are saturated when you stare at red circles. My best guess is no, or perhaps just a little.”

FTA:

> The idea for that animation is not new. It’s ~~plagiarized~~ based on Skytopia’s Eclipse of Titan optical illusion (h/t Steve Alexander), which dates back to at least 2010.

I got the same e-mail sent to an address unique to HN. It is a custom domain with a catch-all enabled, the e-mail only came to the HN specific address.

edit: While the above statement is true, the e-mail was posted publicly on a 'whos hiring' thread so there is no mystery as to why it is receiving spam.

Questions for both you and OP:

Have you ever sent any email using this as a return address?

Have you ever received any non-spam HN mail at this address?

If yes, it seems like it might have been grabbed from a server in the middle. If not, then it does sound like HN has to be the direct source.

After further review, the e-mail was posted on a 'who's hiring' page, so to be honest its a miracle that this isn't receiving more spam!

Mine most certainly wasn't.

Is this your email: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36157877 ?

Yikes yeah that's the one. Did not remember posting that. Thanks for clearing it up, that has to be the culprit.

You can search for specific strings in comments as well as stories with the search bar on the bottom of the page. Plugging you email in shows where it was posted.

Btw, posts to "who is hiring" and related threads remain permanently deletable, so you should be able to delete that post if you want to.

Most of us think our operational security is way better than it actually is.

Unfortunately the Internet does not forget.

but you can always ask dang to help you if you fucked up and find out something you need deleted here.

I can't remember if HN sends an activation link or anything on signup, but if so that would be the only thing ever sent to it.

deadbeef-f00d-f00d-deadbeef isn't a valid UUID v4

Aside from missing a grouping in the middle, you need the version and variant bits, ie:

XXXXXXXX-XXXX-4XXX-VXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

where V is 8, 9, A, or B

searching for deadbeef-f00d-400d-a00d-deadbeef does return the expected matches

Your comment is needed as a parent / top-level for the discussion. A lot of people were confused about the 'V' portion in particular. Thanks for the insight.

Here is the product page

https://www.sifive.com/boards/hifive-premier-p550

It is based on the ESWIN EIC7700X SoC with its quad core 1.8GHz RISC-V core

You also get Imagination AXM-8-256 'GPU' on chip. You get h264/h265 encode/decode and '3d support' in a yet-to-be-released driver.

Looks like a fairly promising product -- quite a step up from the unmatched
