If people laugh with their mouths open, wouldn’t a camera placed below the LED display capture the inside of their mouths, and the rest of the time just point straight up their noses?

That is how they build the tank in Formula One Racing (and probably many other race cars, I guess)

You can. Watch a few minutes from 11:42

In our case the arcades was in a ajourning room to our local cinema with no staff present and no CCTV so we had plenty of time to fiddle with the machines.

We did the exact same thing early 80's except that we used the clicker found in disposal lighters.

We did it for a couple of years until they figured it out and started to conver the arcade cabinets with transparent plastic.

At the same time they also drilled holes at the back of the machine for ventilation as the rest of the case now was sealed in plastic.

We found out that using a bamboo stick you could press the lever that register when a coin has been paid into the slot.

That made them relocate the holes for the ventilation to the top of the case instead of the back so we couldn't get the lever anymore. Or so they thought. haha

We discovered that by pressing a coin up the return slot — the one where you get your coin back if it isn’t accepted — you could also trigger the lever for coin registration and the free gaming continued.

Eventually they put in sharp screws into that coin return box so you would cut your finges.

After that we got a SEGA. Was great fun :)

Then what are you suggesting? You question is not clear to me.

Gave it a shot and downloaded the app on win 11 with the intention of trying to rdp from my laptop to my desktop.

When the app started it asked me to sign in (WTF), entered my Microsoft Account (personal, not azure AD) and was meet with the error message: Personal accounts are not supported (WTF).

Utterly useless app at least for accessing on-prem devices on a home network.

I go back to the good old remote desktop app that comes with windows because that is working flawless.

Of course it doesn't work flawless.

If you have been a good boy and followed Microsoft best practice and configured your Microsoft Account to be passwordless account as I have you of course cannot login because, as you would expect, the RDP app doesn't work with passwordless accounts.

It only like 4 - 5 years since Microsoft introduced passwordless accounts so of course that too little time for an organization with 100K+ developers to implement their own best practices in their own products. sigh.

I got 60 FPS using brave when my laptop was plugin in. When unplugging and it went into low battery mode, FPS dropped to 30

They did that with Windows 7. Win 7 had an optional feature called "Windows XP Mode" that was XP running inside of a normal VM.

They need (or are desperate depending on your milage) to find a way to get AI onto Windows 11 to justify their huge investment in AI. A PC with a dedicated "AI-chip" is one of these ways. It is also a requirement if they want to compete against Apple when it comes to running local on-device models and workloads.

We use Delinea Secret Server (formerly known as Thycotic Secret Server) for several years to store all credentials. No affiliate. I am user of the system and not an admin, so can't comment on the admin part, but for an end user it works very well. We are consultancy and we use it to store all credentials to our clients systems. You access through a web interface. Had made my life easy when it comes to managment of my credentials.

> Thorough testing of all configurations of Windows is likely impossible - but it's clear this one affected so many it was a common one - why was this not caught?

You might want to investigte the technical details of what CrowdStrike driver actually do. It has the ability to load a configuration file that contains code and then execute that code. Crowdstrike uses their own update server. Microsoft has validated the driver but when the driver has the ability to connect to CrowdStriks servers and download code, it is hard to blame Microsoft for not checking this code. Had CrowdStrike instead chosen to use Windows Update for this, Microsoft would have checked and caught this, but CrowdStrike decided to bypass Microsoft and use their own update servers instead.

I am also using DarkReader and don't have this problem on HN (but have on others). Using Windows so there is a night light setting you can enable to help and there is also the brightness settings of course on your monitor

Back in Windows Vista Microsoft removed access to the kernel making the CrowdStrike incident impossible. Microsoft had stated that no companies would be allowed to access Vista's core for security reasons, but Symantec launched an official complaint over the matter with the European Union and eventually Microsoft caved in.

This is a great tool and you should consider converting it to a PWA so it can be installed in addition to bookmarked.

Uploaded five files ~86 mb each (opus > wav). 3 files get converted ok. Two stops at 97% in brave/win11. DevTools reports: RangeError: Array buffer allocation failed

Firefox/win 11 converted all files.

I am not saying in anyway that foul play has happend, but why is there no blood on Donald Trump hand after he has touched his ear? On the TV picture you can clearly see his hand the moment after he touched his ear and there is not visbible blood on it.

One of my claims to fame was being part of the team that built the first online banking site for a bank in my country around 1997.

One of the things you could do was pay certain types of widely used paper invoices. When I was brought on, the UI for this was just a standard HTML table with labels and input boxes. I decided to build a prototype with a paper invoice image as the background and a textboxes places where the numbers appearred on the paper invoice.

When people paid the invoice, they would have the paper version they had received by postal mail next to them. Now, their mission was to enter the numbers so they would end up with a visual one-to-one copy of the paper invoice on the computer screen. It made it easy for everyone to figure out which numbers to enter.

People embraced this immediately, and all forms were changed to follow this principle. All banks implemented it in their banking apps and still use it today.
