Cool! Thanks a lot for the thorough answer!
What TV box would you recommend?
Practical IQ test with binary result (“pass”/“fail”).
It’d be fine if 1) everything from Control Panel is implemented and properly working and 2) everything stays consistent (because otherwise, as other folks have mentioned, at one point written tutorials even with screenshots quickly become obsolete). I don’t see this happening any time soon.
Maybe instead of that they can start encouraging people to use the command line, although even fewer settings are reachable though there.
Wow. Now I don’t want to go to the US even harder than before.
I wanna see them pay for office hours AND commute hours. In a big city you easily have 1+ hour a day irrevocably lost to commuting.
Seems promising, but also seems to be an US thing. I should’ve mentioned I’m in the EU.
I’m still a bit concerned about OLED - my main gripes being 1) the potential for burn in and 2) the somewhat limited maximum brightness. Still, thanks for the suggestion.
Since at one point in the near future I’ll be shopping for a TV, is there such a thing as a good quality panel TV that is dumb? I intend to hook it up to a PC or a set top box. Alternatively, is there a smart TV that can be easily bootloader unlocked and rooted without consequences (similarly to how a Pixel phone can)? I realise this is even more niche than unlocking/rooting a phone, but still, someone might have ideas.
This promo aside, it’s ridiculous that people are okay with paying and still seeing ads (and to think of it, it’s been like this since the days of cable).
A free to use but ad-supported tier is totally understandable, but the way we have it today is borderline absurd.
Shouldn’t automotive catch a hint from the fact that the only mainstream capacitive control devices are phones and tablets - something that you’re constantly looking at while operating?
Syncthing ftw. As soon as I plug my phone into a charger, it starts syncing everything to my NAS. Even if it’s not charging, I can override the rule and force it to sync.
I do too. What a joke the browser became after moving to Chromium… I remember it didn’t even have bookmarks in the first version.
On the flip side I kind of understand the decision to pull the plug - if you’ve looked at Browser.js
and think that potentially any site might need a fix to work properly…
Fair point (ba-dum-tss), I had forgotten about that ruling, but I’m afraid that manufacturers will still find a way to weasel out of this. Let’s see.
Honestly I’d be happy even with just user-replaceable battery so that I can swap it every year or two, and go maybe 4-5 years this way. That’s the most I’ve needed since I’ve been using a mobile phone. Beyond that a phone is bound to feel morally obsolete, unless you also replace the mainboard/chipset, which I reckon isn’t easily doable.
I don’t have the whole context so I might be missing some things, but the whole thing looks to me like “look at how much money I have to burn and how much I don’t care”.
