I usually read HN through Feedly, which tries to grab an appropriate image for the target of the headline link.

For your site, it returned a product logo with a very, very different name: https://notionportals.com/og-image.png


Lowest-of-low effort AI slop image (how long would it have taken to screenshot a Google Slide?) and the user's post history tells me everything I need to know.

If only he would take liquid glass with him. I am so tired of upgrades that are "more delightful than ever" :(


I remain haunted by the new score that Gabriel Thibaudeau created for the 2010 restoration of Metropolis. I saw it performed live in Toronto and I'm still desperate to hear it again someday, but there's never been any home media release (official or unofficial) so far as I know.


I recommend The Crowd (1928) [1] by King Vidor. Incredible cinematography and an emotional story about regular people that was unusual for the time. Absolutely blew me away.

In Windows it's still faster than anything else if you've copied an image to clipboard to open irfanview -> paste -> save, or to do a quick crop or whatever.


Directory Opus is a little faster:

CTRL-P pastes anything (image, text; not sure what else) in clipboard to a file in current directory


or just the batch mode ... very helpful and fast.


Win + Shift + S


for those increasingly rare times you want to print an image it's great too.


I've got a ThinkPad T430 that came from a local shop selling off-lease laptops a few years ago, and it's been great as a dedicated Linux laptop. Even a T490 from 2019 is only CAD$300 and change off of Amazon these days, which is wild if you don't need the latest and greatest.


I used a t430 in college more than a decade ago, I've still got it but using it feels VERY antiquated.


This looks like a great option to keep around for using with the Quest headset. Meta's VR controllers don't have a d-pad, which is awful when you want to play Tetris Effect in VR.

I've used the slightly larger 8BitDo Lite SE gamepad for that in the past, but a smaller unit with a nice d-pad would be nice.

(Assuming that it does in fact work with the Quest. Now I'm not sure..)


When this originally came out, I kept it bookmarked for 20 years before finally buying the poster and putting it on the wall :D https://imgur.com/ffS4pds


I was confused about this line at first: 'When Tim Cook unveils Apple’s new “mixed-reality” headset later this year'

If I'm understanding correctly: there's AR glasses that were expected, which are not happening this year, and then separately, there's a mixed-reality headset (ie VR with some exterior cameras) that apparently is happening for sure this year

I'm curious if Beat Saber is ever going to come to the device.. Like did Meta acquire it just for the potential to force some concessions from Apple? The Quest can show notifications from your phone, but the integration is overall terrible and I think Apple knows that having that tight integration is a Big Deal

(which conversely might mean they'll never accept any terms whatsoever to get Beat Saber on apple mixed reality)


LastPass was my first thought, but I couldn't find anyone else having the same issue and decided it couldn't possibly be them. Now I'm not sure!

I've emailed you a list of the extensions I use in Chrome - if you want to share publicly any that we have in common I'm okay with that


Hey, thanks -- just replied to your email.

Since I haven't used this LastPass master password since 2017, I'd have to remember which extensions I had back then, which is hard to do...

I may have had 1Password and Adblock Plus which you had/have too.

But it's hard to say. It's a possible vector (that you, dogman123 and I had the same compromised extensions) but also... why would the hackers have sat on our master passwords for nearly 4 years (in my case)?


One other breadcrumb: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29706957

It's looking like you got phished a long time ago, or installed malware which targeted the lastpass extension.

Did all of you use the same OS four years ago? (Windows perhaps?) Some malware targets Chrome/Firefox files on disk. A malicious extension probably wouldn't be able to affect your LastPass extension, but a malicious malware app could easily modify it.


Yeah, all of us being phished years ago is a possibility (I just replied to your other comment)

I used macOS/Chrome back in 2017. I definitely could have been phished then, or used a compromised extension.


How'd they get past the 2FA, though?

Or does LP shoot an email if it detects a suspicious geo-IP login before the 2FA prompt?


LP shoots an email as soon as someone attempts to login with the correct password from a new IP.

Once the IP is approved (you have to follow a link from the email), then you login again with the correct password and then get the 2FA prompt.
