It seems like it is not a lot of overhead if any at all. Also the hardware design easily accommodates it. So why not if the work is already done?

You better use a certified device or you get 480p@16 bits per second.

Ohh and HDCP. When I opened Netflix on my pc 2/3 monitors went blank, back when I still used windows.

Any android box you can recommend? I am looking for something without all the bloat, ads and privacy nightmare. I have a shield. It is pretty nice but still bloated and too bulky to put behind a TV.

Projectivity helps. Android TV should be open source.

A Fire TV went nuts today spamming my network with 60k mdns Pkt/s. It took down all my WiFi access points because the CPUs couldn’t handle it.

There are really cheap mcus that need maybe one capacitor if even that. It is cheaper, easier and more flexible than the multiple components required to configure an NE555.

Make phones 18+ to buy. Make it a legal requirement for parents to set up parental controls. Make parental controls not suck ass. Make the phone tell the website if child or adult no age brackets nonsense. IMO children don’t need access to all websites.

Still there are some issues where abuse can come from parents but hey if they wanted they could give their children alcohol too so that point doesn’t really fly with me.

Yeah this usual stuff would be nice but the trade off with privacy and surveillance is not worth the risk IMO. :(

I want a health bar.

What functionality are you looking for? Most I can think of is gimmicky at best.

Would be interested even in gimmicky use cases.

I think we really need a .docx. Why not do all of the classic office file extensions?

I want to argue against that but that would take too much time.

Exactly some. We are so tight on ipv6 adresses a /48 would be ludicrous. Imagine me wanting some local networks.

This is something where ipv4 is actually better for my use. Also I have to hardcode the ipv6 prefix in so many applications and services - I dread ever getting a different prefix.

My wired carrier only gives me a /60 for ipv6 and they can’t do reverse DNS entries for ipv6. :(

At least I get an ipv6.

4 in 1?

I use a 6 in 1!

Often OEMs pay for windows if you buy a prebuilt or a laptop. So you might pay Microsoft indirectly.

Oh man. I hope Dolby looses. Patents are way too long and benefit so few that I think they shouldn’t be justified/exist in society. Also some stuff should be decided in court to be essential technology and patents/claims should then be dissolved/voided.

I like the movie and atmosphere but damn the villains are whack

I wish there were some spinoff or something similar.

Some of the SOTA models like gemini 3 pro are getting quite good at ballpark/estimations. I have fed it multiple complex formulas from my studies and some values. The end result is often quite close and similar in accuracy how I would do an estimation myself. (It is usually more accurate then my own ones.)

Now I don’t argue there is any consciousness or magic going on. But I think the generalization that is going on is quite something! I have trained ai models for various robot control and computer vision tasks. Compared to older machine learning approaches transformers are very impressive, computationally accessible and easy to use. (In my limited experience)

Yeah I really hope there will be some way to tie donations directly to FF development.

I believe Firefox could raise a lot of money through donations. If they make it clear that Firefox donations will be solely used for Firefox development. Also ideally add a quick survey to donations to see what the “donating” userbases values are. My issue with donating to Mozilla is that it is too broad and they have many products I don’t care for.

I use Thunderbird and donate to it because I feel it’s more focused. I believe Mozilla still can use the funds for other stuff but at least I am donating for a clear project.

• Company does new “bad” thing.
• Thing gets media attention.
• Company postpones/reassures.
• Attention dies down.
• Company rolls out thing more slowly over longer period of time.

Not saying that’s what’s going to happen. Just keep that in mind and maybe use this time to explore some other options. That usually doesn’t hurt and if push comes to shove moving won’t be as painful.

Generally if possible diversifying is usually a good thing no matter what.

I have a shield. Without setting up a custom launcher it is an ad ridden 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. :/
