There isn’t really anything new to learn here. It’s still the same old, don’t run an executable to watch a movie. That the code is partly hidden in the srt/jpg is just a minor implementation detail.

What’s the point, don’t ads pay per impression? Are there actually more than 5 people still using stackoverflow? I can’t see how this would make them any money.

To be honest isn’t that what his whole channel is based on? If he actually read manuals or did what’s sensible, 90% of his content would be gone. Expecting anything else from that segment was being dishonest to yourself.

So what stops them from supporting HDMI™ 2.1 but just not call it that? As long as they create the code in a clean room scenario I don’t see how they could be liable for damages? Although I assume it has something to with DRM… And then you get into the weeds of the terrible cyber security laws…

Probably bleached too much? She always strikes me as uncanny because she comes across as the female Zuckerberg to me.

I don’t think the front panel has any connections. Unless they put some pogo pins there. But i haven’t seen them.

Well yes, that data source is called stockholders. They eed to ride the hype. Honestly they really don’t have much choice. Either make the users happy or the stockholders. They can’t do both, it’s impossible at this stage. Want to guess which side wins?

I can’t even finish the trailer with how boring and stale it looks. Calling it pretty forgettable is stating it nicely… I’m convinced this game will be released and nobody will even notice. He even sounds bored out of his mind himself.

Maybe there is a market of mobile gamers gone PC that he’s trying to capture, much like Godus? I don’t see how this will entice anyone else.

Basically he has no clout left, even though I still wish for a good Black and White sequel, B&W 2 doesn’t count.

That percentage is only of importance if you stick to it. Not when the protest just last a few hours and everyone goes home after that. Then you will need way more than that 3.5% Now if they stayed/reassembled for days/weeks on end, then we are talking.

Let’s hope this is a start of that. But if it dies out as fast as the last No Kings day, I don’t have high hopes.

Personally I probably wouldn’t advise NixOS to someone new to Linux. I think it’s best to get familiar with how linux does things in a more conventional setup first. And then transition to a declarative setup. But it kinda depends on the person as well, and how willing they are to learn and how comfortable they are with writing such a config.

That said, I would be very curious how the switch straight from Windows to NixOS would be experienced by someone. So if you do so, feel free to post your experience on the NixOS community :)

You can either directly disable an automation e.g. automation.turn_off: ... or set/read the state of a helper entity that you use to disable certain functionality in another automation. There are probably more tricks too. Though I try to make my automations as atomic as possible so they don’t need to be connected this way.

Not sure how that would conflict with anything… Maybe a schedule? Then just add an override toggle helper that you check in your schedule.

I feel like you’re trying to use it in your specific way. Instead of using home assistant as intended. Sure that’s a valid criticism for your use cases. But it doesn’t make home assistant objectively terrible imho.

Sure it can improve in some places but saying it is horrible is really over stating it… It was never meant to be ‘programmable’ but configurable.

Now for your fish tank issue… That seems like the easiest automation to make…

• Trigger on button helper press
• Turn off pump
• Wait for 15m delay
• Turn on pump

And then just add it to dashboard. Not really sure how that’s horrible or difficult?

This is why you should never buy into a proprietary hub/ecosystem. Just buy a sbc + zigbee/thread dongle with home assistant and you’re golden. Compatible with way more than any big company ecosystem and won’t get bricked.

I can’t believe this is legal… I understand that they might not find it worthwhile to support it anymore after 10 years. But why the need to actively brick them? Should at least go the other way around too, they brick the device. We get to ‘brick’ the money they got for it.

This is why I stopped using Gnome. After every update most of my extensions stopped working. Some took ages to get up to date or were abandoned. And there was no simple way to enable all extensions that the update disabled, having to manually enable them one by one. Maybe that has changed now? It’s been yearsnow… Not that I would go back anyway, tiling managers is where it’s at.

Woops typo, fixed

Seems like idle hope after the vast amount of crap he already pulled off and they still support him. I don’t see releasing the files making a dent. The fact he’s so hesitant to release them should already be enough and that doesn’t seem to sway them.

They will just downplay it. Or say, see others did it too, so they are all equality bad, so Trump is still the better option. That swamp isn’t going to get drained before mass riots or civil war breaks out.

I use way too much garlic to bother with a press. Just chop it. It’s faster, easier to clean and you can more easily vary the size of the garlic bits.

Sand paper wouldn’t really help. They could just cut a part in half. But yeah no way in hell this will ever end up in any of the open source printer firmwares. So it’s a moot point.
