I have a shield. Without setting up a custom launcher it is an ad ridden privacy nightmare (by default). Even though I spent a comparatively large amount of money for old hardware, I still get bloat.

But I don’t know any better option that is easy to use and has a simple android box like remote so. :/

Nice thought so but wasn’t sure.

Screen dimming is technically possible over HDMI no idea why its not properly supported and integrated into graphics drivers, windows and Linux. KDE shows dimming for monitors sometimes? Don’t know of that is software or real hardware dimming though.

I also went with a pixel 6a with grafeneos because there are no other good options for me.

I would have preferred fairphone 6 + calyx but that is on hiatus and I couldn’t wait longer.

I forgot default. I never selected it and it activated on its own.

I just found out about this on mobile firefox must be quite new too. That opt in is really disgusting.

I really dislike that. But I understand the reaction to the failure of the usb org. Usb C cables must be labelled on the cable (repeating) with exactly what they support in standard terms.

Maybe another job for the EU.

We will not vote because it would go against the proposal.

Sounds like a way to avoid setting a precedent or a history record to me.

In linux user and group names don’t matter. Only the gid and uid matter. Think of user and group names as human names like domains are for IPS.

In docker when you use mounts, all your contianers that want to share data must agree on the gid and uids.

On any modern os unused ram is ot simply unused. It is used for caching files and other stuff. So more ram can provide significant performance improvements for some taks even if “unused”.

Take your thumb and gently push the eye back into shape from its elongated form. Push a bit and then check if your vision improved. Repeat until the focus point is correct. Be careful not to overshot the sweet spot.

Okay celebrating shareholder value I get in an indoctrinated pure* capitalist society.

But praising a monopoly? Wasn’t that one of the main point capitalism should prevent?

The free market brings about competitors when they are needed.

Which does not hold true in reality due to various reasons and dynamics like entry cost…

That story is really sad. To me it seems like a failing of the parents/education system to not teach the son who was 17 that selling a kidney is a bad idea.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
There is /s but I opted not to use it. I am quite surprised that people think people exist that would praise a monopoly and celebrate sharholder value. Sadly people thinking that means that they have encountered people who hold such beliefs seriously. Which is quite sad.

How did you get that downvote? Must have been a mistake.

Monopolies are good for the consumer as it makes purchasing decisions easier. Some tech markets such as the GPU one show how well a monopoly can work for shareholders.

I just wish one could donate to firefox development specifically. Then they could rid it of all the ai and tracking stuff.

I used this script:

import Axios from 'axios'
import OldFS from 'fs'
import { PromiseChain } from '@feather-ink/ts-utils'

const fs = OldFS.promises

const image = process.argv[2]
const destination = `http://${process.argv[3]}/vfs/ota`
const now = process.argv[4] === 'now'
const once = process.argv[4] === 'once'

async function triggerUpdate(): Promise<void> {
  console.log('Uploading new binary')
  const file = await fs.readFile(image)

  await Axios({
    method: 'POST',
    url: destination,
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream',
      'Content-Length': file.byteLength
    },
    data: file
  })
  console.log('Finished uploading')
}

(async () => {
  const updateChain = new PromiseChain()
  console.log(`Watching file '${image}' for changes\nWill upload to '${destination}'!`)
  if (once) {
    await triggerUpdate()
    return
  }
  if (now)
    await updateChain.enqueue(triggerUpdate)
  OldFS.watch(image, async (eventType) => {
    if (eventType !== 'change')
      return
    let succ = false
    do {
      try {
        console.log('Change detected')
        await updateChain.enqueue(triggerUpdate)
        succ = true
      } catch (e) {
        console.error(e)
        console.log('Retrying upload')
      }
    } while (!succ)
    console.log('Upload finished')
  })
})()

Hahahah. Awesome. Have fun! You just need a simple webserver. The builtin one will do and then you use the ota functions of the ESP IDF.

Back in school my friends all flashed their mcus with 4-8MB images over serial with 115200 baud. I set up ota updates over wifi. They were all fascinated by my speedy flashes. However when I offered to help them set it up not one was interested because their setup was working as is and slow flashing is not a “bad” thing since it gave them an excuse to do.other things.

Very interesting. I hope this passes as an actual Standart. I looked around but couldn’t find information on how to enable it in the Webbrowser. It just says firefox is not supported.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Google about to destroy the web?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I would love a if there was a standard websites would use to receive donations. An integrated browser addon that track what you visit and gives you a review before distributing funds after each month would be great. It should accumulate money to avoid transaction fees for tiny amounts.
