Definitely, but unfortunately TV’s don’t usually have DP.

I know you’re joking, but powershell is actually available on linux lmao

Nice! With both Bancamp and 7digital being sold to some licensing company, apparently the same one even, I’ve been looking for a new place to get my digital music. Hope this works out for them!

It says they support payments with the device, but if it doesn’t run android, so also no google wallet, did they actually develop their own payments platform?

There’s also web push. You can send push notifications straight to someone’s browser, no need for a dedicated app anymore. Not sure if patreon has implemented this, but they could if they wanted to.

Streaming is still cheaper than cable

That really depends on where you live. With my current provider here in the Netherlands, I would be paying 12.50 euros extra for TV.

Netflix standard is already more expensive than that at 13.99.

The product images do include an ALICE layout model, I guess they just used blank shift keys? hmm maybe i can use it

I haven’t used them, but wouldn’t those be way heavier than PBT keycaps? I’d imagine they would actually affect the actuation force, but I wonder if it’s enough to be noticeable.

They look pretty nice, but looks like they don’t include a split spacebar, so not for me unfortunately.

I’m actually using Photoprism on the same truenas system to view my photos, I just already had nextcloud for the rest of my files, so I’m using that to upload. They point to the same datasets, so they share the image data. I believe photoprism is pretty similar to immich, but i haven’t used immich myself.

So what’s the best android tv box nowadays? Still the Shield TV?

I have the latest chromecast with android tv (i think, who knows with these garbage model names), and it’s always been quite sluggish to use, and I can’t replace the home screen on it to one without ads since they locked down the bootloader.

So I’m looking for one that’s a bit snappier, and preferably with an unlockable bootloader, or at least the ability to replace the default launcher.

Oh absolutely. I kinda feel like preventing the default action on a tag like that should just not be allowed, or browsers should not display the target link thing if it has an event listener attached or something.

That’s actually pretty simple to do. I don’t know if this is how they did it, but one way is just creating an <a> tag with the href to google.com. that’ll show the destination if you hover over it. Then you just add an event listener to the click event, prevent the default event from executing, and manually redirect somewhere else.

Yeah, the only thing I’ve ever seen is the MOK management thingy your bios will throw you into if something wants to add a new key, but iirc that can only list the key you’re about to add, not all of them. I also have no idea how you get to that menu without adding a new key.

Couldn’t you, theoretically, create one massive QR code containing all that data? You’d need a massive camera sensor to get the resolution required to actually decode it though.

I think they’re both good for different use-cases. I use nextcloud myself on a truenas system. I sync things like my pictures to nextcloud, and delete them from my phone after I’ve sorted them into the correct folders.

This way my data isn’t clogging up my phone and other things, is still available from anywhere (as long as my home internet doesn’t go down), and it’s still safely stored on redundant storage.

This does take a bit more setting up than something like syncthing, though it wasn’t very difficult at all. Basically install the docker image, tell it where my data goes, and set up a new dns record if you want it publicly accessible. I personally run it through a zerotier network so I don’t have to do that.

I use Material Files (from f-droid) as my default file manager, which includes support for mounting FTP, SFTP, SMB, and webdav shares. It doesn’t handle the connection getting interrupted very well, so if that happens i have to restart the app. Other than that it’s been working great for my SMB share.

I’m pretty sure the average user doesn’t even know what a “server” really is, let alone know how to set up an FTP server.

Also a lot of desktops don’t have bluetooth

They still get DDOS’ed now, but Cloudflare stops it before it can reach their own servers.

I mean you don’t have to use Gnome with debian, iirc they have options for KDE plasma and xfce among others as well.
