That is not my experience, although I haven't tried Apple TV. It's usually the same app, just running on faster hardware (most TVs are slower than a 30$ streaming box). Also it costs much less overall if you don't have to rep

Damn... The faraday cage around my TV will worsen the picture quality.

Nice workaround. Feels pretty stupid that you have to do that. Sounds like they choose the easy way to comply with the regulations. They could probably just have blocked certain frequency ranges. Although I'm still fully convinced that

Just because Apple promises? There is actually zero evidence that apple is any better for privacy. Your absolute best option is something like a raspberry pi with an open source OS.

Just don't connect it to your network and you're probably fine. Use a smart box for streaming services.

Sure, it's practical, that's why most people don't have a separate smart box. That's why I called it a curse, because most people are being nagged with ads and being tracked on a level the article talks about. Smart boxe

With smart boxes you have much more options. I'm thinking a stipped down android TV box doesn't make screenshots and track you like most smart TVs do, they also don't serve random ads on the home page.

Smart TVs are a curse (from a consumer perspective). A separate smart device makes much more sense. People usually replaced their TVs when they broke, which could be 6-8+ years. Nowadays as their already slow hardware becomes even more obso

I wouldn't consider that an alternative to a solar radio watch.

Yes, on all my keyboards. No double presses so far. On the keyboard I use for gaming, I actually use 1000Hz polling just to get that sweet placebo effect.

The default debounce algorithm in QMK also introduces a minimum of 5ms delay, and the default usb polling rate another 10ms. To mitigate the debounce algorithm delay, you can put "DEBOUNCE_TYPE = asym_eager_defer_pk" in your rules

Little bit off topic, sorry. Windows 10 support ending in 2025 is really scary. Literally billions of computers are not eligible to install Windows 11 because of artificial limitations, all of these are supposed to be trashed? That would

Of course, these CO2 levels are smaller by at least one order of magnitude than what could cause suffocation. I overdramatized the fact that the air quality was really, really bad. Based on every article I found, above 1000 ppm clearly affe

I got a DIY basic kit, and was pretty surprised when I saw that after 8 hours of sleep the CO2 level was 3600 ppm in the bedroom. My wife still jokes about the way I woke her up. I immediately said "We're basically suffocating&quo

I hear you, that's the #1 issue people have with ueli. Even though it's electron based, I feel like at least it's properly made performance wise. Bringing it up and the listing is both instant. I also really like that it does

I was really surprised how futuristic the shopping experience in Decathlon is. Every item has a unique rfid (or something) tag, and all you have to do is put them in a box at checkout, and it scans them automatically. Most of their items ha

I stopped using windows search a while ago. It is unreasonably slow. Everything (the app) indexes every file on all of your drives in seconds, then filters the list instantly as you type. When I start typing an application name that has a s

I think you highly underestimate the compatibility problems it would cause. You'd have to replace the global networking infrastructure. Starting from every wall plug to the switches and backbone devices. The new connector would have to

I don't disagree with your point, but for the longest time I took deathbed wisdom as some ultimate truth. However, one time it occured to me that maybe a dying person's regrets are not the way you should live your life. They didn&

I can highly relate to this. There's also the tax of having too many tasks in queue. Maybe that's just me, but if I have to get done 10 different things in the next couple of weeks, my productivity drops to like 40% as my mind kee

I'm using a 2.1 system so this shouldn't affect me, but sadly it does. Lately, even very expensive TV's lack DTS codecs, so playing movies from a DLNA server is not viable anymore, unless you re-encode every audio track. I un

The "people also searched for" box is not just useless, but also very much messing with usability for me. Every time I click on a link, go back, then trying to click on the next link, this box shows up and I accidentally click on
