Project mention: 18-year-old built a better computer monitor that doesn't strain your eyes | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-27I use "Monitor Control" on my Mac Studio to control the brightness of my Dell monitor:
https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl
> the 4K monitors the author recommends are not good for macOS due to them not supporting native retina scaling above 1080p
Is this true even with the help of 3rd party apps?
My 3840x1600 ultrawide has that problem using the native screen resolution tools but I can get it to full-res HiDPI using BetterDisplay [0].

Project mention: Seeking advice on monetizing an open-source Golang-based video transcoding project developed during university | /r/golang | 2023-06-04There are a number of projects using manipulation libraries like https://github.com/disintegration/imaging which is already MIT licensed, and then there are various transcoders which I am unfamiliar with, but you will want to consider if you add enough value to make use of those unimportant to the decision to pay.
Monitorian requires a subscription for hotkeys and CLI, unfortunately.
Twinkle Tray is an alternative: https://github.com/xanderfrangos/twinkle-tray
It’s done in a similar way on macOS: a dylib is added to the bundle and an LC_LOAD command is added to the app binary. The dylib is the first thing that runs because of using the constructor attribute, like this: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Injecting%20a%20DYLIB%20into%...
The nice thing is that a signed app will refuse to load a dylib that does not have the same signature. So crackers will be forced to change the whole app signature which can be easily detected in app code.
I have that kind of protection in Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/) and Clop (https://lowtechguys.com/clop) and it seems to be good enough as they have no recent cracks.
Project mention: How do I make the top volume keys to look like the bottom? | /r/Windows10 | 2023-05-30You could use modern flyout. It allows you to increase or decrease (also to 0) the number active of media sessions displayed.

That said, displays can technically go beyond the maximum (after all, it already does for HDR contents). It's "possible" in the sense people can do it. https://github.com/niklasr22/BrightIntosh
Prod80's shader pack has few good solutions. Just to name a few: Color Balance, Shadows_Midtones_Highlights, Color Gamut, Correct Color or Correct Contrast.
