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).
You can turn on multipoint and switch sources in the app, but it's clumsy. AFAIK, there's no way to do it on the device itself (and that's disappointing). I loathe having to disconnect one source to connect another.
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).

Definitely this. There are "golden builds" where people have ironed out components and steps exactly so there's barely any more pain than installing Windows.
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.
Bots might be smart enough to uncheck that from the label; maybe text near the top of the form that says “please uncheck the checkbox near the submit button”?
You could use CSS to place label and checkbox visually close but completely unrelated in the DOM. Not great for accessibility, but better than the current situation.
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.
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 ...
Related video, made by Veritasium yesterday, is one of my favorite videos in a long time. He explained how the prediction of this image was made (before the image got released) and the video is great and fun to watch.
What are you basing that on? (Edit:) From one of the papers released today:
> The ring is brighter in the south than the north. This can be explained by a combination of motion in the source and Doppler beaming. As a simple example we consider a luminous, optically thin ring... Then the approaching side of the ring is Doppler boosted, and the receding side is Doppler dimmed...This sense of rotation is consistent with the sense of rotation in ionized gas at arcsecond scales ..Notice that the asymmetry of the ring is consistent with the asymmetry inferred from 43 GHz observations of the brightness ratio between the north and south sides of the jet and counter-jet
(Edit 2:) Ahh, I see your comment now says "did come out". I initially read it as "did not come out", which was either a misreading on my part (likely) or an earlier edit by you.
Are north and south in astronomy defined relative to Earth’s poles? What about “lateral” directions, since east and west are relative (no poles, ie. no east of earth)?
Using the right-hand rule: knowing the direction of spinning, if you point your thumb up and wrap the other four fingers in the direction of rotation, the thumb will be pointing North. Oposite of that is South. East can then be defined along the direction of spinning (eastward or counterclockwise looked from North, the way Earth is spinning) and West - opposite to that, clockwise looked from North, opposite the direction of rotation.
I don't know for sure how that's defined (I ctrl-f'd and it's not explained in the paper), but this says the "North" is to the right of the image, and from context it sounds like it's the north pole of the accretion disk, i.e., the direction of the rotation axis with the right-hand rule.
> The approaching side of the large-scale jet in M87 is oriented west–northwest (position angle $\mathrm{PA}\approx 288^\circ ;$ in Paper VI this is called ${\mathrm{PA}}_{\mathrm{FJ}}$), or to the right and slightly up in the image.
Xiaomi Gateway + Xiaomi temperature sensor (it records temp and humidity). They have a bunch of other stuff like lights, switches, window/door sensors etc.
Easiest way is to use Mi Home app, but you can also use Homebridge to have data in Apple Home (if you are a fan of that), or Home Assistant.
"Early in 2018" might mean beginning of January, because 2017 seems unrealistic for a feature like that, especially since today is the last working day for this year.
