You'd think so, but I've already run into a situation where DRM broke our screen capture for a live talk recording and I simply set up a camera to record the screen. With a little bit of work (display a few calibration targets and

The first chromecast actually operated without external power, but it only worked with some TVs. It's possible yours didn't provide enough power via HDMI, but at least ours worked just fine.

If you're building e.g. a PS1 prompt replacement, you'll want to start, gather data, output the PS1 prompt and exit in less than 0.016s at most. Any slower and the user will see a visible delay. If you're on higher FPS monito

Typical "only america counts" attitude from Mozilla here tbh. They support GPC because it has legal backing by the california attorney general, but remove DNT because it's only supported by German courts?

And similarly, German courts recently ruled the DNT header to be legally considered rejection of tracking (Az.: 16 O 420/19) Legal backing obviously isn't reason enough for Mozilla to support a feature. And GPC isn't even com

You can use opto-electronic isolators on a direct digital link as well. You could also just connect up to the computer via TOSLINK, that has no backchannel and no risk of interference either.

The bridge only transforms images attached to events to new media proxy links. If a bridged matrix user joins a channel, as IRC client I see the following information: justJanne[m]!justjannem@Snoonet-han4h7.720l.ak1n.m0s0nj.IP (@justj

But does that proxy actually expose avatars/profile pictures? From what I can tell they only proxy attachments.
