Looks cool, reminds of a VHS box. Also nails the look of 70s decor that was everywhere when I was growing up in the 80s/90s.

I like to make these kinds of mock ups using https://asciiflow.com. Some of the components from the article paste nicely there.

Sounds cool, what's a good player?

I'm going to continue learning Rust by working on my TUI IRC client. I'd like to make some, any, contribution to keeping IRC alive. It was such a big part of my formative years!

I don't understand how adding WebRTC/Whip enables the bullet points you listed. Is the idea that we'll transcode locally and because of that, we can set up a cheap host? How does this impact the level of hardware we'll need locally?

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

This all sounds great, how does this merge enable these things? I'm not very familiar with streaming or how this would work.

Edit: I see there is some info at: https://obsproject.com/kb/whip-streaming-guide

It functions like a normal monitor. It connected to my Macbook air (M2) and Windows machine without installing anything. It has a USB-C video port, but an HDMI->USB-C converter works too. It has an 1872x1404 (4:3) resolution, which is why I used Miami Vice for the video. It would not connect to my PS5, which I think comes down to the PS5 only supporting 16:9/21:9.

I have one of these. It's only 'ok'. There is significant ghosting and it's not very good when the scene is dark, but it's much better than my BOOX tablet. I just got it so I'm still experimenting with different uses.

Here's a clip of it playing video: https://youtu.be/povlk3hKTVA

Thanks for all the discussion here. I use cloudflared to proxy a bunch of small sites I serve from home. I will take a look a other solutions mentioned in this thread.

How is the app triggered? There is a graphic that makes it seem like the app can detect impulse buys:

iPhone 16 Pro Max $1,625 IMPULSE DETECTED

I think this is a good idea I'm just not convinced I would manually interrupt my impulse buys to pull up the app to stop my impulse buys. How does the app introduce friction to the purchase process?

That is cool! I like the look of this one too: https://andreifomin.itch.io/effulgence

I would love to see how insane a 10-14 hour Dune movie would be. No intermission I'm sure.

This is really cool. It seems very 'pure' in comparison to what my code history will look like. In 2040, a lot of my code will show how I used a bunch of libraries and frameworks that nobody uses 'these days'. This doesn't seem good or bad, just a reflection of the times.

I read the linked info and the comments asking why this was upvoted and it's a good question. The liked answer feels a lot like a text version of a TikTok video. It's an interesting fact that takes very little time to read and makes us feel that we've learned something about a interesting topic outside of our expertise. A TikTok example is a video about a 'little known' fact of quantum mechanics. The linked info gives us the same type of satisfaction we would get from a TikTok, but is on Hacker News because it's presented in a more 'legitimate' way.
