Samsung's DEX does a very good job of creating a desktop interface for the android experience. Its not perfect, but very close. It covers almost every aspect of the items listed in the article.

they should probably take the logo for cvat back to the drawing board

news.com.au; unfortunately out of habit and ease of access. it's really not a good source for anything meaningful, and alot of the "stories" are tiktok copy paste bs, but i havent the musclememory to type in abc.net.au instead.

edit: discovered redirect[0] for chrome; problem solved.

hardware en/decoding for sure. im not sure if it is still the case, but prior to pruchasing the liftime account playing back media remotely from a phone/tablet was limited to 10 minutes. i have 3 kids, and we regularly take long drives. 10 mins would not cut it. i also share my content with family, which again i think is harder without a subscription.

the microsoft kb mentioned in the article no longer exists. here's a copy hosted by pki.

chatgpt summary of the transcript, probably doesnt need a full writeup.

  The author discusses the concept of using video games as a model for effective studying. Video games have well-defined storylines and goals, as well as clear feedback on progress and areas for improvement, which motivates players to keep playing. By implementing these aspects into studying, such as tracking progress and creating clear objectives, students can experience the same sense of motivation and accomplishment. Additionally, video games are low-risk and high-reward, which can also be applied to studying by removing the fear of failure and creating a safe space to learn and experiment. Overall, the author suggests that by incorporating these video game elements into studying, students can increase their motivation, productivity, and enjoyment of the learning process.

great analysis and debunking of some initially bizarre photographs perported to be ufos taken by a us submarine.

found a small thread on reddit which posed the same questions [0]. it looks like the above comment hit it on the head; mostly client side with server just handling messages. looks like it didnt scale well either.

learn universe or any of its flavours (i started out on pick basic at 19, now 34) its not as obscure but niche enough that with time&skill you can find yourself in demand quite readily

i had a similar use case for sharing my plex media server. i am behind a cgnat so dont have a fixed IP address nor can I port-forward if I wanted to. the solution I came up with, involves zerotier and a cheap vps qith a static ip (required as I cant setup zerotier everywhere (apple tvs, chromecasts, iphones, etc.) the vps acts as a relay to the private zerotier network (single address only, the plex server) which allows anyone i have shared my plex server with to access without any setup.

i use a simple nas + external hdd + rsync to backblaze.

the macbook uses the nas for timemachine backups to an external hdd, the external hdd is backed up with rclone to backblaze once an hour every hour unless its already executing a backup.

any iphone backups are rsynced to the nas/external hdd then rcloned aswell.

iphone photos are kept in icloud, including any added to the macbooks photos app.

about $0.75c per month for 200gb sofar for backblaze and $1.49 p/m for 50gb of icloud
