    • Project mention: Time to Upgrade Your Monitor | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-22

    > 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].

  • Lunar

    Intelligent adaptive brightness for your external monitors

    • Project mention: Reverse Engineering a Software Crack | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-23

    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.

    Full RGB LED matrix, based on an ESP32 and WS2812B LEDs.

    • Project mention: ESPHome | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-23

    Since you're (seemingly) already familiar with Arduino, just use that as your framework. You can program the ESP32 in Arduino and access any library you're familiar with as well as handle Wifi.

    You can buy an RGB matrix on Adafruit and they sell esp32 boards that can drive them directly,so it's essentially plug and play, no hardware knowledge necessary.

    If you prefer to DIY but still need some guide, check out this project that documents both hardware and software to achieve what you want to do:
