Yes, this is definitely more an article about Cyan than it is about the Myst-like genre of games. Quern was relatively popular and it is certainly the best Myst game since Riven. Dimhaven is quite good too if a lot more linear. I think the

Happy to continue paying annual for Plex as I think it's worth it, but I'm definitely also installing Jellyfin alongside and starting to look at what really limits swapping completely. Currently that's mostly things like miss

I believe of Plex/Jellyfin/Emby, only Plex has a app for PS5. From what I gather Sony are rather strict about who they allow to develop PS5 apps, and Plex is a "strategic partner" ($$$).

I use the non-Pro version for 1080p streaming and have for years. It’s great, does what I want and gets out of the way. Some years ago they were forced by Google to use the standard AndroidTV UI instead of their own custom one, which means

Nice, I commented looking for this last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40588038 Looks like the "covers" need some better instrument isolation, but this is really huge for the music industry.

The "demo" it made was pretty horrible too. I would have been impressed if it had simulated a NACA 4412 or something.

On this topic, can anyone find a document I saw on HN but can no longer locate? A historical computing essay, it was presented in a plaintext (monospaced) text page. It outlined a computer assistant and how it should feel to use. The author

Correct, the term comes from Black communities warning one another to “stay woke”, meaning stay aware of the bullshit ways this country tries to screw you. Of course, taking the language of the minority and flipping it to serve the oppresso

Free idea because I’m never going to get around to building it: An “AI 8 track” app; click record and hum a melody, then add a prompt and click generate. The model converts your input to an instrument matching your prompt, keeping the sam
