About 10 years ago when Droplr deprecated their free packages (and went to paid only) I've made my own free alternative - https://pics.rs followed with its own screenshot app for Windows (C#) and later Mac (Electron) and still use it daily... I needed a screenshot tool which allows me to select a part of the screen, uploads it and immediately copies URL to clipboard. Now I'm finding myself using it without app by doing CMD + CTRL + SHIFT + 4 which copies image directly in clipboard and then opening pics.rs and pressing CMD + V (paste event triggers upload if it contains image in clipboard)

I haven't touched the UI since then, its ugly but it works, I've tried allocating time to make more modern version and even started refactoring it a few times with a few friends in our spare time, but unfortunately finding time next to full-time jobs and family is much harder than it was 10+ years ago :)

I've never advertised it anywhere except shared with friends and used it on some forums in the past, but it slowly grew to 10k registered members and almost 200k uploaded pictures. At this scale (~100GB of data) its very cheap to keep it online since its using very small amount of resources on dedicated servers where I host some other important apps with regular off-site backups, but if it ever spikes and becomes problematic financially it will at least give me more motivation to make something more serious out of it or just slam ads onto it and call it a day (worst case scenario, not a fan of it).

As a regular MacOS stickes user this looks very promising!

Few requests:

- save sticky position on a website with scrollbar instead of being position fixed (scratch that, realised there is an option for that using right click -> pin to page, nice)

- change dimensions and position to use pixels instead of percent to preserve dimensions when changing browser size

- "minimized" sticky should display first line of the note

I own Bose QC35II, and they definitely have a button to switch between paired devices. They do the switch automatically based on whether the sound is playing on your devices, but if both devices are playing audio at the same time you need to switch them manually by pushing the switch to Bluetooth position once (if you push and hold it goes into pairing mode, but pushing and releasing it quickly does the toggle).

I've started building my own "budget" hackintosh yesterday actually! It is pretty straight forward if you are purchasing components specifically for hackintosh (instead of trying to salvage your current PC).

Here is my geekbench 4 benchmark: https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/15176970 (slightly better compared to new 16'' macbook with i7)

And these are components that I've bought and for which prices:

  Motherboard: ASUS TUF Z390M-PRO GAMING - 144 euro
  CPU: i5-9600K - 208 euro
  RAM: Predator 2x16gb RGB - 184 euro
  NVMe: SILICON POWER 512GB P34A80 M.2 PCIe M.2 2280 
  SP512GBP34A80M28 - 81 euro
  PSU: THERMALTAKE Smart Pro RGB 750W Bronze - 89 euro
  GPU: ASUS Radeon RX 580 4gb - 166 euro

I still have to see how stable this will be, and if it can replace my 2015 iMac.

Here are useful links I used: https://github.com/alienator88/ASUS-TUF-Z390M-Pro-Gaming-Hac... Also Google: hackintosh asus tuf z390m

You can make that checkbox visible by default and put label "I'm not a bot" and uncheck + hide it using JS, that way noscript users will still see the checkbox and uncheck it manually.

I haven't logged into my Google account on iPad at all. Game progress on iOS apps is usually saved to your Apple ID (Game Center) account. My Apple ID is registered on my gmail account of course, but I'm not receiving any emails from this game that Google might extract ...

Ok, I just noticed something that is even scarier.

Under the "Chrome, Google Analytics, and more" I see "Used com.kongregate.mobile.adventurecommunist", which is a game installed on my iPhone. Ok, I also have my Gmail logged in there as well, so they somehow read shared data or whatever. But I also see "Used es.socialpoint.chefparadise" which is a game, installed on my iPad at home which is mostly used by my wife for random games and stuff and I don't have any Google account logged in there.
