Did you learn nothing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46390875 ?
zuccs··on Digg.com is back

zuccs··on uBlock Origin is no longer available on Chrome web store
Are you visiting not from Chrome?

There is also `g.page` which they have suspended: https://support.google.com/business/answer/9273900?hl=en-GB
zuccs··on I made a tool to index websites on Google in less than 48 hours
Just chuck Google Adsense on your page and Googlebot will get on there ASAP to start selling ads.
zuccs··on Ask HN: Where have all the large monitors gone?
This is cool. Can you make a shareable URL with filters included?
zuccs··on Notion Calendar
Price just got jacked, again.
zuccs··on Tesla Model Y range estimate reduced by 6%, becoming more realistic
Some good fleet data: https://www.tessie.com/stats
zuccs··on Ask HN: Uncovered a network of scam websites, how do I report them to Google?
I got a few of these .shop domain names terminated previously.

Just reach out to the domain registrar and they have been pretty helpful. Their abuse email will be on the WHOIS (e.g. `compliance_abuse@webnic.cc`).

One registrar just deleted it for me.

Another wanted this information which I'm sure you could easily whip up if one of those sites affected you:

* Screen capture (Please include the reported url in the screen capture) * Trademark IP document * Letter of Authorization (LOA)

zuccs··on Ask HN: Will Google delete inactive gmail accounts that forward email?
Except Google blocks you from logging in to your own account even if you can receive the forwarded emails elsewhere.
zuccs··on Slack AI
The search is awful. I search for exact things which I typed yesterday, and it recommends stuff in archived channels from staff that left 5 years ago.
zuccs··on Cal Newport: Overstimulation Is Ruining Your Life

zuccs··on Show HN: List of public sites blocking ChatGPT Bot
Fair. Lots of massive sites are talking about it (https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/14/23831109/the-new-york-tim...), but not many actioning it yet.
zuccs··on Inactive Google Account Policy
> Probably not.

100% not. I have a bunch of Google Accounts (not even with a Gmail inbox attached) that just forward on email alerts from Google Ads, etc. And have been getting these update emails since July 14th.

zuccs··on Passkeys: The beginning of the end of the password
Paying customers can't use this feature.

> If you have a Google Workspace account through your school or employer, you will not be able to use passkeys to sign in at this time.

zuccs··on Ask HN: What's your residential Internet speed and cost?
Also Australia.

Getting 790/50 Mbps for ~USD$100 (paying for 1000/50).

Our 'NBN' is luck of the draw with which type of connection your street has, and then dependent on what state your 30+ year old underground copper is in.

zuccs··on How I ruined my SEO
It's your redirects causing duplicate content and/or indexing issues.

Google's index of your old site (excluding tags): https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ablog.johnnyreilly.com...

Shows your blog posts were indexed with no trailing slash: https://blog.johnnyreilly.com/page/155

Your current 301 sends this to: https://johnnyreilly.com/page/155

Which doesn't have a canonical tag, or 301 redirect, to the correct blog post: https://johnnyreilly.com/2017/05/20/typescript-spare-rod-spo...

Once that's fixed, I would also jump into GSC and run their Change of Address tool (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9370220?hl=en).

LMK if you need a hand with this.

zuccs··on How I ruined my SEO
This is definitely not a thing.
zuccs··on How I ruined my SEO
Whilst it still should be fixed, Google isn't tanking a site for its PageSpeed score.
zuccs··on Ask HN: Share your personal site
Great site. Would be cool to pull your Airtable data into Gatsby and render it on your site!
zuccs··on Ask HN: What Happened to Evernote?
OCR?
zuccs··on Ask HN: Gmail account security
I actually found the solution to this last time I had it. I get it all the time on legacy G Suite accounts that are still hanging around that I never log in to.

I think it's this link: https://accounts.google.com/signin/recovery (don't go through the usual forgot email/password process on the login page or you get that stupid AI loop).

I think it helps to use Google Chrome too.

zuccs··on Google requiring all ‘G Suite legacy free edition’ users to start paying
I have no issues paying for email hosting with Google (and already do on some domains), but how are people dealing with shared company email addresses with access to things like Google Analytics, Google My Business, etc.?

If that shared email address is google@yourdomain.com, and Google suspends that Google account on July 1st, how are you supposed to disconnect it from G Suite and sign it up as a free Google account (no Gmail)?

zuccs··on Australia: 82K tests, 111 cases, 1 death, 900.000 people locked down
What country are you from? The Premier in the video has been anti-lockdown for the entire pandemic. And now you're claiming they are power hungry for more lockdowns? Sorry but you clearly have no context what is going on here.
zuccs··on Google is testing its new ad targeting tech in millions of browsers
I assume it’s done with services that have user data, you can then collate the surname + emails, and create a separate remarketing list per surname. Then you target that list with your surname-specific ads.

zuccs··on Ask HN: The most useful Mac keyboard shortcuts?
Spectacle (https://github.com/eczarny/spectacle#keyboard-shortcuts) will change your life with better/faster window management.

And Karabiner Elements (https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements) to remap keys to something more useful (who uses Caps Lock anymore?)
