I use a Macbook - but the slow and cumbersome animations for virtual desktops mean that I hardly use them.


In accessibility setting you can turn the animations off so the screen just flips instantly.


This is amazing as a prospect and something that I massively support. Kudos!


A pure passion project. I have been fortunate enough to ride a bike across the world in numerous amazing places and it's been wonderful.

What is not great, however, is the amount of money it costs to get a tour planned which is often expensive for very little value.

Therefore, I have started collating my information slowly but surely and trying to give people confidence to plan their own trip. Doing it with Sanity.io, NextJS and a few new technologies to me. I have learnt a lot.

Still a long way to go, but you can find current progress here: https://rides.bike


Fantastic. I hope it inspires some epic journeys!


This is super interesting for me - but I'd love to put it on a bicycle (they are often locked up and stationary - for example) but move at faster speeds. Maybe this means they are only useful at tracking information when locked/stationary?

I really like the idea of using cheap (?) devices in a sort of mesh to feed back telemetry data on pollution. Pollution is everyone's concern, so visualising that would be cool.

Interested to hear if you had any more thoughts on this!

Once had this thing on a balcony of a shared flat in Heilbronn, Germany. Wondered what that was, previous tenant told me about it and it was never removed from there.


Blimey, that's great! Thanks

This is neat, thanks so much!

In my experience, the surest way to security mess ups are when frustrated developers share credentials due to an overcomplicated sharing process of credentials. This obviously should not happen, but is why I am an advocate for 1Password.com.

They've made it simple for admins and users alike.


Looks neat! Awesome stuff, the keybindings are great to be included in the first releases too.


One huge question is whether or not you took the time to read the T&C yourself, or got ChatGPT to analyse that for you too. Regardless, I'm in awe of your approach to being a serial contester.


Great question. I manually review the T&C, word for word. However, I did think to plop it into ChatGPT this time around as well, mostly out of curiosity, to see if it came to the same conclusion:

> here are the rules for a video contest. are there any gotchas or clauses that could give me the slight edge in winning if i were to submit one or more videos? what do i need to know? [entire ruleset]

The response was accurate but generic. Maybe with some stronger prompting (ie. "what's the number one thing I should prioritize?") it'd be more helpful, but for now, I'd still rather review manually.
