    I see your windows 93 and raise you a https://windows96.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • Os.js – open-source JavaScript web desktop platform with a window manager
    [Windows 96](https://windows96.net/) is also pretty cool. Internet operating systems is a niche subject that I am fascinated with, and I put a list of them on [my website](https://www.whoisthisjoker.com/jokerlinks/virtualoperatingsystems/). Im going to add OS.js to the list soon. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Ask HN: Again: The “I want to do everything but end up doing nothing” dilemma
    Thanks! I started with an Angelfire site back in 1998 and it's taken a long time to get to this. I always wanted to have a little miscellaneous site where people could come and play around a bit and check out some info about me if they wanted. The idea to turn my website into a desktop environment came out of me trying to think how to present all my various content to users, and thinking how it would be easier if... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Being in my 30s, seeing this brings me back. Boots to desktop still 💪
    I know it's not the same, but https://windows96.net/ is a fun browser based windows 95-ish app. It's a little limiting, but it's still a lot of fun to mess with. Source: about 2 years ago
  • is this programmy enough?
    I show people this website if they tell me they've "mastered the frontend". Source: about 2 years ago

  • Max launch, FAQ, Info & Details.
    Does anyone know for how long the legacy HBO Max app/web service will be still available. I'm talking about https://play.hbomax.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
  • green bar flashing on and off in full screen video?
    So it definitely happens on the HBO Max app from the play store, but does NOT happen when I stream from play.hbomax.com in fullscreen...weird stuff...but also I don't remember ever seeing anything about a 480p limit from streaming apps, and the HBO Max app is definitely higher resolution than that, it looks exactly the same from the app to the website...thanks for the tip though, I guess I'll just use the websites...

  • How can I watch this show?
    Or are you accessing from some xfinity-specific HBO site and not https://play.hbomax.com/ ? Source: over 1 year ago
  • HBO Max, I have some questions.
    They no longer have a free trial directly but you can still get a free trial through Amazon or Hulu. You can also watch some free episodes by going directly to https://play.hbomax.com. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Why you have the option for just HBO without max for the same price for max?
    I can't access HBO Now, https://www.hbonow.com shows a "404 Not Found" error and https://play.hbonow.com shows some random HTML. Source: almost 2 years ago
