A Silly Usecase for WebSockets (strobe warning)

PSA: Viewing strobing images has caused temporary (lasting hours) backlight issues on my 2021 Macbook Pro, in the past. Somehow, it causes the backlight to continue flickering for some time afterwards, even when looking at static images. It is barely perceptible, but quite noticeable at the edges of the screen - enough to be annoying.<p>I have no idea if this is a hardware issue with my specific unit, or a more widespread thing.

EPILEPSY WARNING. Extreme strobe upon opening OP link.<p><pre><code> while (true) { websocket.send(JSON.stringify({ action: &#x27;plus&#x27; })); } </code></pre> Really messed with my vision and crashed chrome. Fun experiment!

Cool project. You may want to include an epilepsy warning to this. I don&#x27;t suffer from it, but it definitely messed with my vision a bit.

I made this to learn more about websockets and because a friend thought it would be funny for some reason. Let me know what you think.

I appreciate the strobe warning! Not gonna open it so I have no idea what it is but congrats on whatever it is. Anyway have an up vote for the strobe warning

&quot;Blockchain will help mitigate the strobe issue&quot; &#x2F;s

Really nice!<p>Is reduced motion a good use case for this?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;CSS&#x2F;@media&#x2F;prefers-reduced-motion" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developer.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;docs&#x2F;Web&#x2F;CSS&#x2F;@media&#x2F;pref...</a>

Everyone shut up a minute I&#x27;m trying to flicker some Morse code.

Seems to have been killed, there&#x27;s just question marks everywhere there should be a dynamic value, and I can&#x27;t interact with anything (Chrome for Android).<p>&gt; ? in the room, click anywhere to turn the light ?<p>&gt; click counter: ?

How about having an off switch on one side and an on switch on the other, then we can fight it out by seeing how many goes for each?<p>Or, make in a flappy bird game? One up and one down button.

SAVE YOUR EYES, a bit:<p>body.style.transition = `background-color 0.9s ease 0.1s`

There is a company that is selling a LED Lamp that blinks at 40 Hz. They claim it can mitigate Alzheimer&#x27;s.<p>This line of devices has become known as &#x27;Gamma Flashers&#x27;, lots of knockoffs today. From Gamma brain wave state.<p>There is some, small amount, of science to back this up.<p>So who is going to be the first person to put up a 40 Hz flashing website? With appropriate warnings about Photosensitive Epilepsy before showing the page.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;30155285&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;30155285&#x2F;</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.verywellhealth.com&#x2F;photosensitive-epilepsy-symptoms-causes-diagnosis-and-treatment-4686346" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.verywellhealth.com&#x2F;photosensitive-epilepsy-sympt...</a>

Didn&#x27;t the Dutch ISP Xs4all have this in past where you could remote control the lamps of a Christmas tree in their office? That&#x27;s a long time ago, before WebSockets or IoT existed. And the server, while being absolutely hammered, kept up.

Strobe warning in case someone might be susceptible to it. You got a chuckle out of me.

Might need more words on the page. Mine came up and it was a lamp and telling me to click with question marks.<p>No indication of how or why this has anything to do with websockets. :(<p>The lamp looks nice though.

<p><pre><code> lamp:51 Uncaught DOMException: An attempt was made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable </code></pre> FF97 on Ubuntu<p>ETA: I see it working now

Techno music is missing in the background

THIS IS REALLY TRIGGERING. BE WARNED<p>EPILEPSY WARNING

Not me in the console: `setInterval(() =&gt; {document.body.click()}, 20)`

Keeping peace on planet Earth is like keeping this lamp ON all the time — bumpy road, one click at the time.

I want to make a version of this that controls my neighbors smart light bulbs.

Can everyone leave the light on for just a second, please?<p>This is pretty fun haha

Reminds me of &#x27;Someone keeps stealing my letters&#x27;

EPILEPSY WARNING

setInterval(function(){ document.getElementsByClassName(&quot;bdy&quot;)[0].click();}, 10 )

I love this.<p>This is a fantastic use of websockets

OP share source? I’m curious!

Perhaps we shouldn&#x27;t post something that will cause harm to some people?

lol cool
