Smythe posted:I've used Chromecast in the past but I'm not clever enough to reliably automate it, and it gets a lot trickier if the content your displaying is dynamically generated or live composited. There are Enterprise Solutions which own but are $$$$. Even in my dumpy theatre I've crept up to 5 freaking "digital signage" tvs half the "enterprise solutions" are just pieces of poo poo running an old windows and ie (11 if youre lucky) with a script thats just settimeout window.location. at least this is what cisco is/used to be theyre also 2008 hardware that burns itself out in a few months sitting behind a hot display/wall

Chris Knight posted:like literally no one was asking for rounded edges that make a phone hard to hold. the flat sided 4 and 5s were great, maybe use a rubber bumper around the edges for better grip iphone 5s is still the best phone form factor. same as why the oneplus x was the best (lol) android phone no one makes this poo poo right anymore. every phone must be two handfuls of slick slippery curves that you then place in 2 inches of safety helmet which sounds better than it is

theres also this weird quirk about "pc enthusiasts" who dont understand arch or systems but obsessively monitor ram usage and cj their os even if its windows, in that they'll overbuy every part of their computer, play overclock lottery and go through 5 cpus, etc., but when it comes to RAM they'll obsess over CAS timings but then say no one ever needs more than 8GB like it's 2005 like those pc building reddits are insane, people will post the "fix my parts list" and they'll tell people to spend $150 more for GPU with a potential 0.5% greater overclock, but then be like "lol bro i see you have 32GB of RAM? no one needs that bro just get 8". there are recommended builds that have more VRAM than system there's a related weird quirk where RAM is the one capability of your computer that people get mad if your program actually uses. if a program only run sat 95% CPU you'll get tons of angry posters complaining about losing out on 5% of efficiency, but if your program adaptively uses more than 4MB of RAM everyone's all WHY IS ALL MY RAM BEING USED

honest q to people who have them: whats good about them that does not also apply to bluetooth headphones in general? cause everytime i ask someone who has them they just list stuff that turns out its the first bluetooth earbuds theyve had because theyre scared to be seen using anything non apple also vs std behind the ear buds, what do you do when you need to pull one earpiece out because of an environment where you need to listen for cars/announcements etc. just hold it in your hand? or if you need to take them off for a minute, you can't just drape them around your neck? like i dont think theyre the worst thing ever but i just dont see any appeal and they look a bit 2005 bluetooth business guy e: lol nm 5 hr battery life and buggy accelerometer autopause theyre the worst poo poo ever signed, the worst poo poo ever

infernal machines posted:in a universe where netflix hadn't been running a streaming service for very nearly a decade, this would simply be a lazy oversight. in this universe however, it's completely bewildering tbf prime is also one of the most comically bad apps to the point im sure all devs must just have harnesses to render whatever sub-element they work on before getting cycled to another project and no human on the team has ever used the app netflix is also garbo now. "continue watching" and the queue often arent in the top three pages of ui and half the time bug out and dont show up at all in terms of $ per use case (both in revenue and dev budget) these have to be some of the most fantastically resource rich pieces of software ever made and theyre way worse than plex

LastInLine posted:depending on how youre measuring 41% of us households have smart speakers (as of the end of 2018) and that's better market penetration than tablets or wearables this is the thing thats finally turning me from a normal sociable person into some kind of fsf gnuman toecheese pariah because ive started to ask people to turn them off if im at their house for any length of time and they keep popping on in the middle of conversations ive been gifted three now because theyre so loving subsidized and pushed by amazon that people go "oh i bet the cs guy would like this". the first two i just did the polite acceptance thing then took to electronics recycling but the third one i tried to politely refuse while saying i dont want one in my home. it was awkward but loving amazon shouldnt be able to set a social norm of putting their ears in your home and life then make you feel weird for going "no thanks" all alexas are bastards

my first exposure to bluetooth was 20 years ago ups was doing some experimental deployments with it and the delivery guy had some scanner strapped to his palm/fingers? but he still had this big portable strapped to his waist wired to a controller in the other hand so he spent like 5 minutes at my door trying to scan this delivery with the dumb finger scanner while trying to keep it close to the thing in his other hand that was big enough it could have just been a scanner "I bet this will be great in a few years, because computers kept getting monotonically better in the 90s" thought dumbass y2k me, opening his box of mice balls or whatever

timb will assume this is about the mbp16 and will skip right over going back to the post-2015 poo poo to entirely oled touchscreen. in 2 years everyone will be swiping on their laptops. half of all github issues will be fullstack react devs complaining about incorrect swipe completions for your library ive got an mbp16 and while it finally let me go back to apple the reduced travel vs early 2015 sucks

every time i click a link it spins up a new vm with a random os and random browser with its noscript equivalent enabled. this process is recorded as a series of tiff images (being patent unencumbered) which are then posted to a rotating series of newsgroups as multipart archives and parity files which i can then download at my leisure once they propagate to my swiss newsgroup box
