I made a web extension like this a while back. Called Prod, it’s a similar idea but in the browser. Feel free to use it it’s free and there are no plans to change it. Been around for years.

prodtodolist.com if you’re interested

I built the opposite of this tool. It lets you generate a page to check which meta tags will generate a preview on a given platform.

I’m not certain, but I think the bear trap is named after Frank Conibear.

Probably not, but it might stop you getting E.Coli

I made this one so I'm pretty sure it doesn't do that — but you just got me thinking of all the QR codes on tombstones and inked into people's skin that probably redirect to a pay day loan website or something.

You could always write code that saves the data temporarily until the user reconnects to the internet or even visits the website again. I'm not certain how I would use people's wifi passwords without being at their home, but I'm certain somebody on Hacker News could tell me exactly why it is a bad idea to share your wifi password to the internet.

Doesn't Google track router SSID names and MAC addresses? This definitely used to be a searchable database that was connected to Maps. I can't find any of the old websites but it looks like it might still be accessible via API.

Not a hacker but I'm going to give a easy but not critical example. If you have access to another device in range (say, because you run a botnet) you can jump into another neighboring network. I'm sure someone on HN could give us a much more worrisome example.

Well, if you connected to my service I can probably geolocate you. Or I can use a SSID=>lat/lon database to find where your wifi is assuming you have a unique name for your Wi-Fi network. Then I can go there and connect a laptop it and do nefarious stuff from there, and attribute it to you. Threaten the president, torrent Linux ISOs, etc.

Surely Linux isos are among the least nefarious things to torrent ha

Use private browsing?

Yes you're right, that would probably prevent it

I meant it to be funny without being ironic. I think this is worth doing if you enjoy this kind of thing. So far the ones I've written about on the site have saved 5g + 0.1g + 0.5g (corners) + 2g = 7.6g, and there's lots more to come.

Fair enough. Went over my head. :)

Well, I didn't expect that to get so many comments.

It looks like there are a lot of people with perfectly valid reasons to keep some or all of these settings on. Which is great. I will rewrite the article to reflect that — and change the title to something more neutral and less absolutist.

I'm honestly shocked at the amount of pro-motion interpolation comments there are in here lol

Why? If you have a decent TV (hint: SONY), a little bit of motion interpolation can make stuff look amazing.

My guess is that set has higher resolution images, just because it can.

I was just posting this to see if Hacker News automatically put titles into title case — for an article I'm writing. Looks like it does.

Which in my opinion is a bad thing — but not worth getting upset about.
