"Consciousness is the universe experiencing itself"

hahaha love it! <3

We've been building this design tool (https://uizard.io/) for developers and non-designers alike. Defo not meant to replace Figma — it's built as an easier / quicker alternative for folks that need to iterate fast.

tonybeltramellion Ask HN: Do you create music? let's hear it

Really good work! :)

We should collab, I also love mixing heavy guitars + synths (https://open.spotify.com/artist/1KSqbxUwye5HzsZzILWnQ6?si=kh...)

tonybeltramellion Ask HN: How do I find investors?

Find angels / VCs who already invested in your space but who didn't already backed a direct competitor and talk to them. Either email them directly or ask for a warm intro from someone you know that they know. Definitely speak with other founders, fundraising can be quite an intense journey! ;)

As far as identifying relevant investors, AngelList is a good place to start if you don't know anyone: https://angel.co/europe/investors

Alternatively, there are plenty of lists of early stage VCs such as this one recently posted on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22042111

Good luck! :)

tonybeltramellion Headphones can be hijacked to surreptitiously record audio

paper: http://cyber.bgu.ac.il/advanced-cyber/system/files/SPEAKE%28...

"It’s no surprise that earbuds can function as microphones in a pinch [...] But the researchers took that hack a step further. Their malware [...] silently “retask” the computer’s output channel as an input channel, allowing the malware to record audio even when the headphones remain connected into an input-only jack and don’t even have a microphone channel on their plug."
