Hilyin··on Upspin – Another option for file sharing
This could really use a demo video of usage.
Hilyin··on Virtual Apple II – Apple II and Apple IIgs games ready to play in the browser
seriously. This is not "in browser" if you need a plugin in my opinion.

try changing your card's expiration date to an expired date, this has worked for me in other situations like this
Hilyin··on Flickr is shutting down Marketplace, its commercial photo licensing program
Instagram is a horrible image portfolio system. It does not offer full res downloads, has zero exif data, extremely limited desktop app. Instagram is a social media app first, and a photo app second.
Hilyin··on FBI director: Cover up your webcam
Just look around on the internet, you'll find the same thing. I researched this a few weeks ago and was amazed.

You basically have to disable the audio driver in OSX to disable it, and doing that, means you can't play audio at all. And even that isn't enough, it technically can be hijacked at an even lower level.

Hilyin··on FBI director: Cover up your webcam
I guess this is just as good place as any to bring this up. In current OS X, you cannot disable your mic. You can turn down the input volume, but never disable. All malware needs to do is raise the input volume and it can listen to you to its hearts content.

And its worse with your iPhone.

Hilyin··on What does a GB of Internet service really cost? The worst case scenario (2011)
From what I've read and heard, the key is reliability, consumer internet service is not as stringent on reliability, but enterprise internet lines usually come with a guaranteed reliability.
Hilyin··on In-N-Out Files Lawsuit Against Food Delivery Startup DoorDash
Trademark stuff, ok, it makes sense they can't use their logos and such. But the whole quality control, food handling, meh. Soon as it's paid for and in the customer's hands, it's the customer's business what happens to it next, not In-N-Outs, it's not theirs anymore.
Hilyin··on A facelift for the Macintosh
Yeah, who wants widescreen anyway? ;)
Hilyin··on Sass Guidelines
Its a CSS preprocessor. http://sass-lang.com/

In a nutshell, you write SASS with all sorts of bonus features that CSS doesn't do, and then you compile to CSS.

Hilyin··on Tap your iPhone to unlock your Mac
Does the knock app have to be open to unlock your computer?

All devices, except your laptop. Who actually wants to write more than a few sentences on anything but something with a keyboard?
Hilyin··on House forces vote on amendment that would limit NSA bulk surveillance
Question, they keep mentioning phone records. What about the mass surveillance of email, texts, multimedia, and the cooperation of all those big corporations? Does this include that as well?
Hilyin··on Switching to DuckDuckGo and Firefox
My biggest problems with Firefox after using Chrome for so long is stability. I find that web pages can lock up the entire browser rather than just a tab, and this isn't just a rare occurrence, when I tried to give it a chance a week ago, it happened several times. I am amazed they still haven't picked up the separate process per tab feature yet.
Hilyin··on Rogue employee fired for turning game into Bitcoin mining colony
I don't think it'd damage the computers, if it did, it'd be very minor, like you said. I'd say the biggest effect would be people's electrical bills being higher.

Hilyin··on Free Official MSIE VM's for Linux and Mac
The only thing weird I found about this, is the win8 ie10 vmware for mac on microsoft.com comes with a boot virus, or so says Avast. It reports it has Kampana-37XX. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/wXOu3uJ.png
Hilyin··on Show HN: I learned to code to launch my new startup
One minor suggestion that I think is super important. Smile in your headshot photo man. No teeth = no confidence, which means people are less likely to put their trust in you. Great site. Good job.
