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.


I think if I were 'at risk' like the examples you gave, I would probably not trust any non-free antivirus software. Especially not McAfee.


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.


Yep. And it doesn't even have to be a call center, manual verification would be enough.


I pay my ISP a lot more than I pay Google.

Patience.

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


Awesome! We have a dedicated teams support channel on Discord, if you ping me after you join or email me (kevinlin@dendron), I'll be sure to add you to it!

It terms of the presentation - thanks for the tip. We have a backlog item to swap it out with a higher res video


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:
