For everyday use Windows Defender is fine to me.
If I'm ever doing something risky, I'll have a one time VM (probably still not bullet proof).
My gut feeling is that antivirus companies selling solutions to the average customer are scams since Windows Defender does the work 99% of the time. Plus their "selling" techniques are often limited to forgetting a checked box and annoying popups 30 days after that.
In a company setup / or if you're at risk (journalism, politics or preferring tabs over spaces) it probably makes sense to have an antivirus.
A probably useless tool to replace words in text files.
Looking back it's probably for those not using a good text editor + not knowing regex, but it was fun, and useful to me at the time.
Absolutely great work! UX is actully pretty good and I think it helps understanding some usefull basics.
I remember using it a while ago, I think I'm guilty of this one https://noisecraft.app/113
In my experience, people who want you to fix their PCs mainly want you to get stuff done, rarely do they want to know what you've done precisely or learn
"how to". Still, teaching some basics (mouse controls, basic shortcuts and web browser basics) is essential, but make sure you can be efficient at just fixing their machine.
Good luck to everybody for the upcoming Christmas fixes.
Interesting idea I'll try to use this in a team setup.
Quick remark about the site, I expected the site's tool presentation to be an actual video, with sound about the app and most importantly fullscreen capabilities. I can barely see the video's text on mobile (bigger font also needed).
But no auto play if there's sound please.
Congrats
How about connecting multiple LEDs to a single website and track what section / page of the site is being viewed? Not sure how feasible it is but it could be fun too.
> I think a lot of people are looking for that. This is especially true for folks with lower-end hardware where hardware decoding may be supported by the system but not (well) by the browser, or at least the rest of the browser runtime would use way too much resources.
That's what I'm trying to archieve with a C++ client. I feel like picking C++ with Qt is the best in terms of portability and performances. As a Youtube binge watcher I feel like I'm wasting resources by going through a browser.
Honestly that's still really basic. A few API calls for search and recommended, and then delegate the core functionalities (playing and downloading media) to vlc and youtube-dl (need to switch to the new and maintained equivalent btw)

I plan on doing some cleanup and post an MVP on HN, I'll keep you updated!
Anybody using / looking for a heavy client (a desktop app) for Youtube?
I'm currently working on that in C++ (Qt). For now it's just small window presenting a searchbar, the list of search results and suggested videos. Playing the vid / playlist is done by opening a separate vlc window.

Well, maybe it won't.
