Thanks for sharing this, first time I've seen such device, I'd like to add other options that I experienced and would suggest;

- Open your telephone socket, if the actual cable has 5 pairs, it's probably a cat5e cable. It can do 1gbps with a RJ45 connection, just replace the plug and connect tou your device to check, yo ucan get a cheap ethernet cable tester too. If it has just 3 pairs, it can probably do 100mbs automatically with most ethernet capable devices. - If you just need to connect 2 devices, you may probably just use existing cables to do it. More than 2 devices would not work. - If it doesn't work, all those cables probably go to a box, find it and check if they are connected, if not yo ucan just crimp the ends together.

Other alternatives: - As others mentioned, MoCA devices are also able to deliver 1gbps, and there is a higher chance that you may find them in most rooms, and they are almost always connected, so it shoudl be plug&play. - Powerline adapters novadays not too bad as well. I was able to use them in a 30 eyar old home, 3 floors up to provide 500mbs.

Just a reminder, depending on your installation method of youtube-dl , you may have to manually install ffmpeg globally on your system in order to download/mux highest quality videos.

I also noticed that on my Macbook 16", if I use my left ports for external monitors, fans are going louder sooner.

Good work! People talk about how a webcam cover is essential on laptops but I think iOS side of this exploit is even more crucial. Very few people use camera covers for phones, cause they are ugly and new phones have FaceID etc which makes impossible to use a camera cover daily. More importantly, we take our phones to places more private, like bathrooms. Now that iOS Safari support front facing camera stream, I think this discovery worth more than $75K

Yes I know, but most of the time it shows it wrong, it adds some artificial space or it just does not detect the element under the mouse cursor.

I only have limited experience with Figma (my prev experience is with Sketch,Zeplin and Invision), but as a Developer, I'm finding it very hard to inspect elements and find margins, paddings and distances between elements. Not sure if our design team is doing something wrong.

Sorry for misunderstanding, you don't need to. My comment about the DNS was about OP's use of no-ip.

Yes, exactly. Despite the fact that my domain is not listed anyone online, cloudflare dashboard says they blocked 1000s of attempts last month.

I use my Raspberry pi to proxy any cloud video to my LG Smart TV, at native resolution, using rclone mount and Emby Media server. It's great. I can play 4K 100mbit videos from my cloud drives directly on the TV.

Side note, you can also use cloudflare free for dns, it's easy to setup.

I completely agree. If prediction algorithms properly implemented, the Uber crash could be avoided.

I think the next step after proper visual prediction is interpreting the noise around. For example, a human can hear the ambulance siren approaching and slow down in a junction without seeing the vehicle. I think sound interpretation is very important especially in city driving.

Macbooks always turns on dedicated GPU when connected to an external monitor. Maybe you're using it in clamshell mode?

30" Cinema Display is a joy. I used to have one but such a shame that it runs too hot. Living in the UK and working in an office with bad AC, it melted my face :) I let it go.

To anyone planning to use a 30" CinemaDisplay , you will probably need a special Mini DP to Double Dvi active powered adapter. They are not very common so they are a bit expensive. Search for: Tripp Lite Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter Cable with Dual-Link Active USB Power MDP to DVI-D, 6 in. (P137-06N-DVI-DL)

To anyone has a slightly older Mac and thinking about getting a 4k screen: DON'T.

4k is not supported on many older models. Check your official specs. Most Macs has max 1440p@60hz output. 4k is only supported @ 30hz, which is no good for daily usage. And the main problem is, if you get a 4k monitor( to future proof your setup), and try to use it at 1440p, everything will be blurry and pixels will shift and distort.

Just get a native 1440p monitor.

If you have a never Mac, getting a 4k 27" monitor may still be a bad idea. Since 4k is too much for a 27" screen, you will need to use scaling in Mac options, and ideally set it to "looks like 1440p" But this will cause your mac to do 1.5 scaling and create a burden in your GPU and CPU. It will render everything doubled at 5k and try to scale it to 4k. If you're using a Macbook, your fans will never stop even on idle. This is even worse performance than getting a 5k monitor and using it native 2x scaled, which is easy on GPU.

One side note; there is no USB-C Hub that offer 4k@60hz output, technically not possible. You have to get a separate hdmi or dp adapter, or an expensive Thunderbolt 3 dock. But there are some usb-c to hdmi or dp adapters which also offers Power Delivery.

I've already wasted money and time figuring this out, so you don't have to :)
