The smart answer would be to figure out the expected payload of the devices and send a dummy one that tricks the TV into thinking its phoned home, I suspect.

Projectors are still valid, and often superior, alternatives to TVs. They’re definitely more work to get right though

I realize that this is a tangent but one of the more sad developments of recent developments as an advocate for open knowledge is how much of it is trapped on servers like discord that will never be indexed by any search engine. There isn’t

Shoutout to Kagi search for having a deny list feature. It’s really nice for this sort of thing.

Part of me wonders in a world with evergreen browsers if that long tail won’t simply shrink as time goes on. I have yet to run into Java applets or Internet Explorer required situations in years. As far back as 2016 I’d occasionally find my

Wish they would decouple styling from everything else. Have a default you can import? Absolutely, that makes sense But styling by default they you have to make complicated overrides for? That’s the part that gets me

Oh it most definitely does matter, to think it doesn’t makes no sense. The Chinese may be building up their military capabilities but they still spend a fraction of what the US does every year. They’re different leagues, and in a gloves off

They aren’t. Political will is faulting but the military is holding back on Iran. There is no follow on ground invasion or clear carpet bombing of the entire country. These strikes are all suppose to be strategic. If the US military was wag

We aren’t getting anything like AGI in this current cycle of AI innovations. At least not what I think most people imagine when someone says “advanced general intelligence” Which is what we all called AI before the nomenclature goalpost mov

In the age of agents, I feel like BDD is more important than ever since it describes the behavior, and if it does so well it’ll make it much easier for these tools to pick up correct behavior. Gherkin style tests also come to mind

It’s not that simple. For instance, consumers want fast and high speed rail and light rail in cities, yet the federal government is still subsidizing hundreds of billions of dollars to car centric projects rather than allowing municipalitie

Voluntarily convince? Yes, I agree asking other nations to afford something on top of struggling to afford things is not easy. However, a global reparation fund would make a difference. Not entirely unheard of for richer nations to fund the

This ignores too much to be a good faith argument like lack of options to choose. Ability to choose in absence of regulation, the fact that industry spends millions to curb any regulation and I know ok missing other factors. Individual choi

This feels like FUD, I have lived in California for a long time and I’m not really sure what it is you’re trying to reference as a negative.

I’m not shocked in the slightest. Great price point for younger folks to buy or be given as a gift, the build quality is good for what it is and it is snappy for most uses. It’s many years too late IMO but I suppose the economics only made

Dart was relegated to effectively being Flutter. It was originally intended to supersede JavaScript but no other engine would commit to that. It failed at its initial goal and hasn’t really found a footing outside of Flutter. Carbon is by i

I don’t see how they were ridiculous on the face it. The economy during that regulatory period grew into a huge juggernaut. Most of the R&D that laid the future of the world happened during that period. The middle class grew to its larg

Not everyone is an avant garde movie enthusiast. Some still enjoy the fun and spectacle of action films, superhero films, Star Wars. I am among them. I make no attempt to say they’re high concept or anything, but I leave feeling good for aw

Symfony scales better than Laravel when you need to go big over the long term. This has been my experience anyway. I realize Laravel is built on Symfony but using Symfony directly is a different experience

This is all happening as I predicted. OpenAI is oversold and their aggressive PR campaign has set them up with unrealistic expectations. I raised alot of eyebrow at the Microsoft deal to begin with. It seemed overvalued even if all they wer
