I'm having my MX master “programmed” to do the following:

- back/forward (web browsing)

- enter

- CMD + Tab (switch windows)

If only it has more buttons, I love to add the “Backspace” button to my mouse too.


So satisfying. The editing is so good I can't tell how he edit/plan this.

I always enjoy these kinds of slowmo shots, similar to the Quicksilver scenes in the X-men series.


Sorry for the plug, but this is the exact reason why I build https://devutils.app

Developers paste their data to online websites too frequently these days.


it's just for fun :)


Shameless plug, check out mine :) https://tdinh.me


love that you put cs1.6 there and made it openable


M4a1 critical hacks installation processed and play no type of aimbot just wall hacks win7 can always be reached no man of cpu owner and know can even imagine forgetting cs1.6


Legendary game :)


Only emojis, no text. Emojis are safe I think.


Ohh I didn't know about this. Thanks!


This only scans Google Drive, so emails are not included. The UI is heavily inspired by my favorite macOS app, Daisy Disk. :)

I'll look into adding a treemap visualization. Thanks for the feedback!


Ok, something like 13 GB of my 15 GB Google Storage is from gmail, but I might be an unusual case. This app may be really helpful for someone on a chromebook.


I built this because I couldn't find any existing tool that does this, took me 3 weeks. What do you guys think? :)


Looks really great! (I'm a fan of DaisyDisk too).

This part:

> Can DriveStats.io read my data in Google Drive?

> No. We can only see the file/folder names

For most people, I expect "seeing filenames" would be considered "reading my data". I understand this may be unavoidable due to Google's APIs, which is unfortunate.


The worst part is that Google doesn't make it clear on the OAuth screen that DriveStats.io can only read file names. It just says "read info from your Google Drive", which is also unfortunate.

But thanks for the support! I guess I can use this on my own Drive for now, haha.


Love the idea. Will not use for privacy reasons.

There is something less appalling from Google https://one.google.com/storage/management?from=1

Google should buy you and make it 'new default' for all users.


Completely understand and agree :) (Especially the part about Google should buy this)


Can someone explain to me why doesn't he use his existing cash to buy stuff?


I think he wants to be untracable from start to end, no credit card.


"cash" implies physical currency. my guess is that he doesn't want to get the notes from an ATM because those serial numbers can be traced to him (not sure whether banks actually do that). That said, doing a bunch of odd jobs to get $1000 seems excessive. You'd probably have better luck getting change from random shops. something like a farmers market would be ideal because they deal in cash, probably don't have facilities to record serial numbers, and probably don't have cameras around.


Would make sense if he withdrew small amounts from an ATM incrementally, but if he withdrew say $5k and then his web footprint went dead it draws a lot of red flags.

Although it depends who your adversary is at the end of the day.


People commonly withdraw thousands of dollars and then disappear from online banking or bank-card use, if they leave to travel for some months in e.g. sub-Saharan Africa or Andean villages where all transactions will be made in cash.

In fairness, using contactless payments is super convenient and although it leaves a data trail, the sheer convenience of being able to buy a beer without fumbling around in my pockets is great. It's the old privacy versus convenience argument. But then, here in the EU you can compartment your card use with things like Revolut, and you can even secure your card by setting a limit on how much you can spend with contactless (no affiliation with Revolut, I just enjoy their app).

Of course in an ideal world, there would be no such (transparent) data trail and you would pay for everything with Monero, over Tor lol


Was I not clear in my post above? People sometimes take out cash before traveling because cash is the only way to pay for things in certain parts of the developing world.


Sorry, I skipped that part where you meant the developing world. I'm referring to how I spend my money in the EU. Revolut has all these 'neobank' features of limiting contactless spend, creating a virtual disposable card for e-commerce purchases, and also being able to send money to others, etc.


Well, I’d be extremely surprised if Revolut kept all that juicy data for themselves. The net privacy benefit of their disposable cards is most likely negative over using a more privacy-respecting single card bank.

I had the same dirty feeling whenever I paid with my Revolut cards as I do when someone I legit want to connect with adds me on Facebook.


That's associated with a big travel purchase so you can cut that possibility out pretty quickly.


But this case can be ruled out by the authorities since there won't be a record of them crossing any borders.
