No, I’d have accepted too expensive as an answer. They were ready to die on the hill that no one could possibly create a new browser from specs.
I am a Meat-Popsicle

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. I’ve had more than a handful of people bitching at me that it’s impossible to make a new, open web browser in this day.
I was totally on board until centos got screwed over ( and subsequently AM2 )
I’ll be a cold day before I touch any fedora or redhat again or even mention to another person that they should run it.
Yeah, My volt battery is in the floor of the trunk. If the battery on the volt dies you can’t open the trunk easily. Physical locks in the doors are no problem but they didn’t put a keyhole on the damn trunk.
You can pop the hood and access the jump terminals and then pop the trunk. You can also crawl into the back hatch from inside pull a panel off and pop the trunk.
Yeah Netflix has to pay for edge connections in major ISPs, and host cash is in places.
Yeah that’s kind of the direction I was thinking. I really want to have access to the screen and the touch controls on the shows though. It’ll all come in time.
There’s another really wicked side project I saw running on pis. You put a Bluetooth enabled device in every room and it tracks where your items are. So you could ask where your keys aren’t to triangulate which room in your house they were in.
Filebot a piece of software, it looks up your files on TMDB and themoviedb and renamese your files based on those lookups. Plex takes that naming very very well. We really need jellyfin to work with it too.
I assume their motherboard is a write-off. The form factor in speaker are probably all we have to start with. For a few bucks you could turn it into a decent Bluetooth speaker. Want to get a little more intense if you want to do anything interesting like voice control.
I’d really like to find a way to drive the display and touch screen on the shows
How long till there’s a solid project to gut Alexa devices and run them from pis arduinos and pico’s?
I’m trying to switch to Jellyfin I really am. With Plex I could just throw a file bot at my files normalize the names and it was fine. I can’t mark things watched or unwatched from the Roku client. I’ve now tried three separate times to get the Doctor who specials to show up with names. Plex is by no means perfect but it’s so much easier to keep Plex goomed
Threw away the branding, threw away the user base, threw away the advertisers, throw away the staff.
What exactly does he have left?
Unfortunately way too many companies and people.
It’s pretty easy to get in there and throw a couple of bots around. People have created entire help desk ticketing systems inside of it. They integrate payment systems. You don’t see any of this until you have a certain specific set of needs and then it’s everywhere.
There’s a lot of plug-in support for corporate apps and people that create themes for things for corporate.
They added in some anti-cheat stuff that doesn’t play well.
We’re close. We just need a couple of vendors to step up and take some responsibility.
Steam already picked up all the hard stuff.
Adobe products, Outlook, and of all fucking things Roblox.
I probably also really wouldn’t hurt if somebody could manage to make Nvidia background removal working OBS Linux.
Antivirus won’t do s*** for you, if a good exploit comes through they don’t need a virus they just do whatever they want. Even the best EDR packages out there have their limits if you don’t keep updates.
So there are 43+ NixOS users and noone switched away for another OS?
Woot!
I keep pondering switching back to Debbie and every time I get in a fight with … well everything I try to install … And I look at my configuration.nix and sunk cost fallacy sits in.
I don’t really need Splashtop, NinjaRMM, Parsec Server right?
Hold on, let them check their bank accounts first.
Nah, it’s more like Dropbox. It’s a multi-way sync between all devices. Dropbox, Google drive and Microsoft one box all have the same kind of problems. Stuff that’s supposed to be deleted ends up not getting deleted, stuff that’s supposed to be overwritten ends up getting multiple copies with conflicts Even though nothing else has any changes staged. It’s totally possible to do it without all that, but there are cost savings are wrapped up in trying to add intelligence in there to make it communicate with the server less.
I don’t really give a rat’s ass about the guy cheating, but if a company is going to drag me into their distributed ecosystem I fully expect deleted things to delete everywhere and stay deleted. This isn’t the first time that they’ve been in the news recently for deleted things reappearing.
I think the nail in the coffin will be the amount someone is willing to pay to not ride on one of those planes. And we’re talking money and time.
My thoughts exactly.
Also nothing is stopping someone from forking an open browser and throwing money/bodies at keeping it up.
It’s be a shame to lose free updates, but certainly not undoable.
