Done! ( Added a Floatiness setting to the TV Help/Guide )
I hear you! I barely use my Quest3 now so it's really difficult to justify paying so much more for that.

Great feedback, Thanks! ( There isn't a option to disable that motion so I'll add it ) EmuVR looks pretty sweet.

Hi HN, I love building nostalgic things in my spare time, so I created this project to recreate the experience of channel surfing through television history, with a focus on music.
Show HN: VoxelTV – Turn music videos into interactive 3D voxel sculptures
The app renders each video as a voxel grid in Three.js. Color is sampled from the current frame, while height is produced from Depth Anything-generated depth maps. I recently added the ability to create your own local versions, all within the browser.

Running DeepSeek with Pi as well, any plugins you recommend running it with ( e.g. native browser for snapshots, etc. )

Thanks for sharing. I went through a similar process recently, manually stitching together fire insurance maps from my hometown. A large part of the business district burned down in 1916, but maps from a couple of years earlier survived. It worked, but it was tedious. This would have saved a lot of time. Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out: https://fire.gorch.com/

Timing of your post is spot on. I just emptied a drive to prep for a Linux switch this morning ( for the same reasons ) :D

Became more fascinated with the history of my small hometown (Paris, Texas) TLDR: Much of it was wiped out by a 1916 fire. I spent some time recently vibe-coding this interactive map to provide some kind of historic visualization ( which enabled me to see the impact better )

Show HN: Python App for Batch Downloading TikTok Videos
https://github.com/joeycato/tiktok-favesave
With a potential U.S. TikTok ban on the horizon, I created this Python app to batch download your favorited/liked videos—no browser extensions or third-party services required (however this tool does rely on ytp_dl to directly fetch content )
Show HN: TikTok Fave Save ( Mass downloader for your exported profile data)
https://github.com/joeycato/tiktok-favesave
Created this app as alternate way to mass download your favorited/liked TikTok videos (before the U.S. ban goes into effect.) Under the hood, it's Python and yt_dlp, created apps with PyInstaller and a few rounds of AI-assisted paired programming.

Creator here. I add the static to mask the video buffering ( since each channel change triggers a video load ) I'm flattered though that you think of me as young. I very much was a child of the '80's :D

For fun I stitched together a map of my hometown from older fire insurance maps ( taken in 1914 ) Ironically much of the downtown area was destroyed by a fire two years later.

As others have said, I hope this applies to "resort fees" What makes it worse is many hotels having this hidden charge in parallel advertise a "complimentary" breakfast.

Pretty cool stuff, can this be easily used to augment videos with translated subtitles? And if so, I'm assuming it would be fast enough to do so in real-time?

Nice job! This reminds me a bit of a space puzzle game I made a while back ( the premise of which is to rotate the hexagon tiles to create a pathway from the player character to the orb in each level )
