Several years ago, it was not possible to blit an entire screen of random pixels to the screen at a decent frame rate without something like shaders.
Even though the screen is now even higher resolution, the CPU can now blast 2560x1440 random pixels to the screen at 90 FPS. Must be advancements in hardware and/or JS runtime. (The bottleneck seems to be generating the random numbers...)
I figured out how to make my TV static effect look more realistic:
- Mostly: TV "pixels" had wide aspect ratios[1]
- Larger "grains" (see info in corner)
- Also added subtle CRT scan line effect. ('C' to toggle)
- Looks different when animated (click to toggle pause; probably should emulate 60FPS).

Started revisiting this rabbit hole while thinking about programming prompts from the new Recurse Center application[2]. They suggest about six different prompts; I figured out how to combine all the prompts together.
Interesting vercel.app subdomain: Vercel automatically appended a random word like `-ten` because there is at least one other app with this very specific name:
The main reason most openings are "Remote, US-only" is due to tax and labor laws.
By employing you, the US company must comply with all Australian tax and labor laws (in addition to the US laws). This is a huge burden. (Like the company must calculate and report how much revenue was generated through your work and pay Australian corporate income tax.)
Your best chance is to apply to US companies that already operate in Australia: they will have the necessary legal/HR infra set up. (For example Google probably has an office in Australia.)

Another method may be to work as a contractor through a service like https://www.toptal.com (or even on your own if you can find contracts).
Yes, Google has an office in Australia so do all the big US companies like Microsoft, AirBnB etc. As I mentioned below Anduril have a new operation in Sydney as Australia's submarine capability is f@#ked and needs something ASAP
> unlimited downloads at just 400 kbps after their data allowances expire
This is not new. Many Korean mobile plans actually offer even higher unlimited throttled speeds (up to 10 Mbps!)
- You can filter plans by the unlimited throttled speed on this site. The plans are usually titled by `{data amount} + {throttled speed}`: https://www.moyoplan.com/plans
- Even if not throttled, I think data overage charges were capped at about $13 (20K KRW)
So perhaps unlimited 400 kbps will become standard: i.e. no plans will ever charge data overage fees?

The linked statement didn't seem to specifically mention the 400 kbps thing at all.
