not1ofUon Ask HN: What tools do you recommend for working on Windows?

has a lot of decent tools in one place (select the ones you want, download one exe - run it, it grabs the latest version of everything you selected and installs it with sane options [no toolbars / good location] (I haven't used it in a long time so I am not sure if that's still the case, it gets mentioned here sometimes, so maybe search here about it, get a fresher perspective, i used to use it a lot though.))

not1ofUon Why Tesla's Stainless Steel Cybertrucks May Be Rusting

I watched a video about it after Cybertruck release, but can't figure out which one it was mentioned in to share it, but basically, yes, the knew about this, its mentioned in the owners manual. If I recall correctly, the video mentioned that it should be covered when not in use, and it will suck if birds are shitting (uncovered) on it too.

Edit: Found link to Owners Manual breakdown / Video

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-cybertruck-owners-manual-rev...

And from there found exact spot where it talks about maintenance / cleaning:

if you leave the mouse hovering over a video and, if it autoplays (previews) an $amount of the video, it will be added to your view history and you will then be offered more of that "content".

I turn this "feature" off every time I open it, it tells me it has saved that configuration, but that is not the case. like other poster commented, review your view history and delete anything you do not want to see or clear it out entirely. There is also option to "don't recommend channel" ([3x ...] beside the video)

not1ofUon Ask HN: List of Certifications?

not1ofUon Ask HN: List of Certifications?

lots of discussion about this

https://hn.algolia.com/?q=certifications

If I can make a suggestion, find the topics you like and get stuck in on your own. set your own labs up (if possible) play and get hands on with the stuff you have a deep interest in. Certs are a good way to get an interview, but they are not really a true signal of knowledge.

CISSP (not cheap / some would say not easy), used to be highly valued, however, that's not really the case anymore. (picking just one example)

Some would say, that these certs are a bit of a scam these days, as you have to renew them every year (additional cost) earn credits (additional work), have someone vouch for you (basically have a colleague who has the cert and will sign for you).

This is just an opinion and not as detailed as it could be.

not1ofUon Tell HN: Reminder that your LinkedIn profile is fully visible to site members

There is an option from linkedin to view your public profile - go to your profile and there is a link labled "Public profile & URL" in the top right corner. I believe it shows a view from perspective of non-logged user, however, the visibility options with in the profile are decent enough (even if they do 'update' from time to time). There are options Public(everyone), linkedin users, your connections, only you. I am no fan of linkedin, but all of these socials "require" (not really, but its good practise) the user to check these things on first setup and periodically just in case of 'updates'.

Although thank you for posting, I never thought to view my profile from a person that I am not connected withs POV.

not1ofUon Ask HN: How do I get Google to stop SMSing me auth numbers?

have you checked connected devices / sign in activity on the account? go to account settings -> secuirty and see if you can disconnect some device / verify sign ins. But it sounds like someone is trying to fatigue you in to accepting

Good luck

not1ofUon Looking for Feedback: Possibly Endless Golf, a Cozy Golf Game for Quick Breaks

just started watching the linked vid and I noticed that your button icons are a bit low res. I have seen a vid a long time ago, where one indie dev, created a whole pack of icons for exactly this use, covers all systems / PC /consoles. It was so long ago, i cannot remember or find the video, however, I did a quick seach and found this, looks simlar, but i havent verified it.
