You could absolutely set up some traffic shaping on a router which drops social media sites down to 56kbps while allowing Netflix to use as much bandwidth as it needs to stream in 4K.

Why does there need to be the same learning and struggle that you went through? Making games has never been more accessible - you can fire up something like Scratch and have things moving almost instantly, then when you're ready for it

I'm glad I'm not the only person with this approach. We have a 12 year old son and we've never really gone overboard with restricting what he's permitted to do with his free time, if he wants to watch crap on YouTube the

Blackmagic hardware is fantastic and I doubt that particular camera is going to be an exception to that rule. Having said that the free version of Resolve is incredibly generous, and they have a professional grade camera app for iOS which w

Resolve isn't software for beginners, and is completely unashamed of that fact. Its designed from the ground up for professionals who are using it on a daily basis and have entirely forgotten what its like to be new to the field of vid

Resolve is very much professional software, by which I mean there's a huge amount it can do but you're going to have to dig into the documentation to work out how any of it works, it won't just present it to you. I'm per

Oh neat, I'd not seen that exposed in the UI of anything I'm using with Zigbee so had assumed it wasn't a thing.

Everything you do a risk/reward equation, you just don't usually see it drawn out quite so starkly. Getting out of bed in the morning carries a risk that you'll trip and crack your head on the floor. Crossing a road carries a

Docker is not a security boundary. It never has been, but given recent demonstrations of container escapes its even less of one than it ever was. If you want to properly contain a process it needs to be running in a VM of its own, or you ne

Yeah, I’m not entirely sure what use cases there are which include both an ESP32 and gigabit networking.

I think Z-Wave is a bit more open now but everything I’m seeing indicates Zigbee has pretty thoroughly killed it by not requiring arduous certification processes and being generally easier to work with. Z-Wave is technically superior with t

Ok, let me revise my statement. In a future where we've done something about the rampant unregulated capitalism that is gradually making everything unusable I'd love to have devices use HDMI to connect to the network via my TV.

That's also what I was wondering. What problems is this custom RTOS solving that all the other ones don't, or is it in fact just that some Roku engineers decided they needed some job security and having an OS nobody else uses woul
75.
by jon-wood 5mo ago
From the front page of the site at least, no. This isn't for the Roku device itself (which is almost certainly running some flavour of Linux), its for peripherals like the remote control which will have much less powerful processors.

My Caldigit TS4 dock is so close to being perfect except for my secondary monitor turning on maybe 50% of the time if I connect it to the dock via USB-C, I've given up and now have USB-C from the secondary monitor going straight to m

by jon-wood 5mo ago
Holy shit. Is this the mythical TV that actually supports Ethernet over HDMI? The fact that this feature is advertised no every HDMI cable and yet supported by approximately no hardware in the real world has been a source of amusement and m

This what hooks[1] are for, except hooks allow specifying criteria in certain conditions (like the agent believing it’s done and ready to hand back to the user) in a manner that the agent won’t just forget about once it’s a few turns deep,

Some places I've worked in the past had a rotating support team who were tasked with dealing with bugs/small feature requests/incidents for a period. I'm not sure that's the right answer because nobody wants to be o

Many APs now support either using Radius and username/password auth for this, or having multiple acceptable pass phrases for a WPA2 network which drop devices into different VLANs.

Sure, it’s one element in a defense in depth. You ensure that post boot it’s not possible to manipulate what’s being loaded, and then you ensure that during boot the OS in the expected state for that to be true. It’s not a panacea but it is

My take on this, which is almost entirely pulled out of my rear end because I last worked in a large company before the rise of agents, is that we’ll see a move from vertical teams of specialists who get pulled into projects to build a mobi

You could absolutely (on some platforms) make a window manager which is an infinite canvas.

It shows a lot of promise but yeah, the actual app is just as broken. Love the concept and I'll be keeping half an eye on where it goes but right now its simply too janky for me to use it on a daily basis. If the author is reading here

by jon-wood 5mo ago
I totally agree that this should be a window manager (and I'd really love it to be one, my brief poke at this has just made me want my entire operating system to work like this). I can see why you'd start by prototyping at least i
