In Google's OAuth 2.0 for TV and Limited-Input Device Applications page, https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/limi..., it says:

"Note that there are limits on the number of refresh tokens that will be issued; one limit per client/user combination, and another per user across all clients. You should save refresh tokens in long-term storage and continue to use them as long as they remain valid. If your application requests too many refresh tokens, it may run into these limits, in which case older refresh tokens will stop working."

Maybe you could try issuing thousands of OAuth refresh tokens (or more) for your account, in the hope that it will hit some internal limit and automatically revoke the one stored inside that Smart TV?


I think the risk of getting banned due to misuse is not worth it... But I like your hacker mentality!


Does anyone know if the Internet Archive is on the case?

A lot of profile and newsletter links of the form "https://www.getrevue.co/profile/..." are going to be dead very soon.


Check Jason Scott’s Twitter account. I’m sure it’s being worked on.


Is it broken?

I tried adding https://github.com/torvalds/linux and asking it to write a simple kernel module for me, but it gave me this error:

"Something went wrong, please try again later. If the problem persists, please contact us."

Edit: looks like it is, I see it's making a POST request to https://gptduck-production.up.railway.app/query which responds with a 500 Internal Server Error when I use a URL that looks like a GitHub repository (whether it actually exists or not), and "invalid repo" otherwise.


Heya - sign up for an account and put in your personal access token, it will work then! Hitting GitHub rate limits atm!


That is very cool, nice to see vintage editors hosted in a modern environment.

What I'd really like to see return is an online version of EDIT.COM, and maybe also its host binary QBASIC.EXE, not just for the nostalgia but because it was a pretty decent editor for the time, it even supported editing binary files if you didn't have a hex editor to hand, though you had to use Alt+(numpad) for most characters.
