Author also thought it might be a backlight failed for his first oled problem....

His ProArt Display PA27JCV was not an OLED monitor. I believe it is an an IPS LCD w/ LED backlight.

Yep -- it's an IPS LCD. And based on the failure more (here's a video of it [1]) with a vertical bar dark and the whole screen blinking when large white sections are displayed, I believe it's likely a power supply problem, maybe coupled to draw from the backlight. (Localized smaller LEDs, more get turned on when things are white.)

I'd been having an issue with a vertical dark bar during wakeup for a few months, but it'd go away after the whole screen came up so I pushed off opening a case. Then one day the whole thing started having problems.

It started as a clone of the camelcamelcamel Amazon price history site and got kicked out by Amazon for abusing the system. It pivoted to a coupon site and started sucking down user data with the plugin when PayPal paid $4Bil CASH. Honey cost me affiliate marketing commissions.

Same setup for me. Unifi just has to many limits to advanced networking. Trying to force tunnels to just do basic routing.


That app also sends ser# and other info to FS forcing you to help them build out the DB.


I've purposely put three seashells in many public restrooms


paypal paid 2 billion for honey did all the devs leave?


Looks like they sold in 2020 for $4Bn, and both founders left two years later in March 2022. One founder started Pie, which basically seems like Honey with a slightly different angle. The other founder became a VC.


It looks more like Brave (the original idea), an adblocker that actually replaces ads and pays you rewards.


I reviewed 1000s of skins and plugins at nullsoft before aol so many of them tie to a time in my life. Feels odd seeing them sometimes. Nullsoft tv was the most fun back in the day. Long before twitch and justin.tv even YouTube who now uses the parts of the old on2 encoder.


Nullsoft TV was wild. I didn't even read any changelog or announcement, to me it was just there one day and it blew my mind. Like some other tech, it was maybe just to early, and not marketed properly.


You can access the starlink.com site from none registered and unsubscribed units. But you need to use the Starlink provided DHCP/DNS servers to do it. Most people use other DNS settings on devices so the walled garden part might not work depending on user device config.


FireWire is also still used to dump out kernel debug.


Shouldn't IOMMUs block that these days?


It's just running the chips hot.


I guess any sufficiently inefficient computer is indistinguishable from a space heater.
