• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony’s Concord Is Playable Again Thanks To Fan-Made Custom Servers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see a “and they need to host it”

  But allowing/enabling community servers would allow it to stay playable at minimum cost to the developers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Refrigerator ads are finally here!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if i could install and run Home Assistant on this, i could see having a use for it… but that requires me to have complete control, and not samsungs BS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, but that wasn’t a great rest. I love Great Scott, but a lot of comments fairly call out his conclusion.

  Most (all?)phones don’t charge at full speed to 100% charge, they fast charge when the battery is almoast empty, and charge slower the more full it gets.

  I assume if they DON’T flip it, it gets passed yo the next guy with 4 people tied to the track.

  33junctions down the road, and it’s the population of the earth tied down.

  Have a 75" display, the size is nice, but still a ways from a theater experience, would really need 95" plus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Kindle Can Finally Be Jailbroken Again. [22:00]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, I use calibre to strip it, have my entire collection backed up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your Kindle Can Finally Be Jailbroken Again. [22:00]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, love my kobo

  Just bought a new 7" Libra, my only complaint is the colour screen is lower contrast than a pure black and white

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, did a new printer drop? LOL⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is they make a really good printer at a really good price… But with them locking down their printers, I won’t be buying another.

  Unless your computer is from the 70s, it has a computer.

  That said, “always connected, getting firmware updates” is a new thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, for sure, it’s just for fun

  My entire design goal is making it invisible for my wife, so things just work. As an example, I took our doorbell, and made it smart… Not a smart doorbell, but I have an esphome between the doorbell and the chime, so I can turn the chime off, or I can have our phonea get notified.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Home assistant is the way to go, all run locally on a homePC, I have ZigBee lights and switches automated

  An example is my front deck lights turn on at sundown, at 10% brightness, at 11;00 pm they drop to 1%.

  If motion is detected they brighten up for a bit.

  On holidays they have appropriate RFB effects.

  All of this is automated, none of it talks to the internet.

  Yea, not hard to boot up a VM

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The demise of Flash didn't bring any big HTML5/JS equivalent for watching animations; fast internet and better video compression made those types of animations become raster videos as well⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll check that out. I thought that a .fla is the project file, and .swf would be the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The demise of Flash didn't bring any big HTML5/JS equivalent for watching animations; fast internet and better video compression made those types of animations become raster videos as well⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Recently found an old .fla of a game I made in highschool, and I have no idea how to turn it into a playable file. Would love to recover it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, I use it for home assistant, it’s amazingly powerful… And so incredibly dumb

  It will take my if and statements, and shrunk it to 1/3 the length, while being twice as to robust… While missing that one of the arguments is entirely in the wrong place.

  All my homies love the Hu.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are not uncomfortable because you are used to them

  Bet if you spent your life as a nudist, and someone asked you to wear jeans, you would find them super uncomfortable!

  Long story short: wear a seat belt (not you, the theoretical “them”)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea

  Vibe coding is for us armatures, who want the occasional hello world

  I use it for programing home assistant, since I just can’t get my head around the YAML.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is that people like MC and visa would then ban you from sending money TO RaunchyCard.

  So it just moves the problem back a step.

  I know people complain about big phones, but as a 6’5" guy i LOVE my big screens, and i think i’d struggle with a 6.3" screen. I have a 22U i plan to use for another year or two, and would go larger if i could.

  I have definitely learned a lot of Spanish from Duolingo, and while I’m not fluent, i went from being able to count to able to hold some basic conversations with Spanish people i know.

  the largest problem with older TV’s isnt the resolution. even on my 75" its hard to tell the difference between 4k and 1080p… But HDR is amazing, it really blows me away each time a scene lights up!
