“Move Fast and Break Things” is Zuckerberg/Facebook motto, not Musk, just to note.

Yeah this is just noticeable because most products weren’t even resealable, they just expected you to seal em yourself with a clip, twist em, put em in a container, etc.

Now they are adding cheap resealable zips to the bag, which is nice in theory but the bag material has to be strong enough to support it.

Actual ziplock baggies themselves are made of thick plastic that can take a bit of abuse.

But cheap paper plastic hybrid materials a chip bag us made of can’t handle that sort of load, so it becomes the fail point.

Dunno why ppl are down voting you, this is 100% the way.

Architecture as code is amazing, being able to completely wipe your server, re-install fresh, and turn it on and it goes right back to how it was is awesome.

GitOps version controlled architecture is easy to maintain, easy to rollback, and easy to modify.

I use k8s for my entire homelab, it has some initial learning curve but once you “get it” and have working configs on github, it becomes so trivial to add more stuff to it, scale it up, etc.

They aren’t getting rid of chromecast, the title is clickbait.

There are 2 CCwGTV models, only 1 of then is being discontinued.

The other one sounds like it’ll keep being sold.

But also you can always just buy a chromecast, just cuz they aren’t being actively produced doesn’t mean you can’t find em online

I have no idea what people are fucking up tbh.

It’s 2 button clicks to cast stuff, I just went and sanity checked.

The internet is full of disinformation and idiots though so I usually just assume people are the issue, when I have the same hardware and zero issues.

I don’t think chromecasts have even gotten any kind of major change updates in ages so it’s bizarre for it to change behavior.

I’m gonna just keep going with “people are dumb” until someone posts some concrete example (IE an actual video) of wtf their issue is.

The chromecast is designed so simply though that I can’t imagine wtf people are fucking up.

I’ll just have to respectfully disagree in experience.

I have multiple gens of chromecasts and haven’t seen any degradation in performance. They work pretty much the same.

I have no idea wtf is going on with your units.

I wrote it up elsewhere, but I don’t mind the price point.

The built in ethernet port covers a lot of that.

A solid quality ethernet dongle is gonna be $25, so now that’s $75 for the 4k CCwGTV + ethernet.

So you’re paying $25 extra for the better form factor (2 chained dongles look so bad), the extra ram, better processor, etc

For some folks that might not matter, but I use Steam Link on my CCwGTV and those specs will likely make a tangible boost in gaming performance for quality, frame rate, latency, input lag, etc.

So in my demographic of people gaming with em, I 100% expect it’ll be a popular upgrade.

The ethernet part is pretty big, overall. Don’t overbook that.

The built in ethernet cable seems almost worth it.

It’s around $15 to $20 to add on a usb c ethernet dongle to the existing CCwGTV dongle if you want high speed connection to it (which you prolly do if you wanna stream 4k or lower latency game with Steam Link )

Better quality dongles are closer to $25 if you dont want it to crap out.

So, assuming the onboard ethernet is comparable to a higher end dongle, you’d be looking at closer to $75 to get the same experience with the Older CCwGTV model. ($50 + $25)

Add in the higher specs and the fact that chaining 2 dongles together looks ugly as fuck and easier to fail, and the +$25 remaining ($75 -> $100) is not actually too horrible of an extra price.

$100 for a better form factor (the dongle does look bad), better specs, built in ethernet, it’s not terrible ngl.

I game with Steam Link all the time on my CCwGTV so I 100% am gonna spend the money on better specs so I feel like I’m taking better advantage of my 4060ti I’m Steam linking to.

If it has a better bluetooth card too that’s gonna be even bigger, better wireless controller range is awesome.

That extra RAM is not something to scoff at.

The extra storage is kinda dumb though, prolly the real cash grab. I doubt anyone was maxing out their CCwGTV storage capacity o_O

I own multiple gens of Chromecasts from gen 1 to to CCwGTV

I have no idea wtf you are talking about.

I click cast, I click the device I’m casting to, it works, never had this issue on any of my devices abd all of them are set to auto update and afaik running latest versions.

That’s literally what a chromecast is.

I have multiple generations of them, and casting a YouTube video is 2 clicks.

1. Cast button
2. Pick what device to cast to.

Done.

Why is this being framed this way.

Rebranding the next gen of your product isn’t “killing” it, people are so fucking clickbaitable.

It’s the same product, just next gen with better specs abd they’re going with a new simpler brand name than “Chromecast with Google TV” (yes that’s the actual product name before) and instead the next gen is named “Google TV Streamer”

It’s the exact same thing, and all existing hardware will keep working.

Chromecasts are standalone and effectively just running a modified version of Android. They can’t really be “killed” as they work over local network. Theoretically any chromecast will last forever as it’s functionality is based off a specified open source protocol, so as long as you have a device that can output it (cast), you can cast to your chromecast.

So it’s impossible to “kill”. I have a gen 1 chromecast that still 100% works fine today.

Newer Chromecasts ahem Google TVs just have more features, like apps you can install and sideload.

People are dumb for falling for this clickbait title.

I mean, that’s just how it has always worked, this isn’t actually special to AI.

Tom Hanks does the voice for Woody in Toy Story movies, but, his brother Jim Hanks has a very similar voice, but since he isnt Tom Hanks he commands a lower salary.

So many video games and whatnot use Jim’s voice for Woody instead to save a bunch of money, and/or because Tom is typically busy filming movies.

This isn’t an abnormal situation, voice actors constantly have “sound alikes” that impersonate them and get paid literally because they sound similar.

OpenAI clearly did this.

It’s hilarious because normally fans are foaming at the mouth if a studio hires a new actor and they sound even a little bit different than the prior actor, and no one bats an eye at studios efforts to try really hard to find a new actor that sounds as close as possible.

Scarlett declined the offer and now she’s malding that OpenAI went and found some other woman who sounds similar.

Thems the breaks, that’s an incredibly common thing that happens in voice acting across the board in video games, tv shows, movies, you name it.

OpenAI almost certainly would have won the court case if they were able to produce who they actually hired and said person could demo that their voice sounds the same as Gippity’s.

If they did that, Scarlett wouldn’t have a leg to stand on in court, she cant sue someone for having a similar voice to her, lol.

There’s basically no reason to keep using windows.

Debian or Linux Mint are both easy to install, work out of the box, and the only thing that might take a smidge of effort is the 3 commands you gotta run to install gpu drivers.

Steam proton works incredibly well. I ran my entire steam library (most of which were “windows only” games) and even single one worked with proton as is without issues.

I’ve been using steam link from my debian box for months now and it’s smooth as butter.

Well tbh Quests dont really bug you much about anything FB related. After you setup the account the only thing you deal with is the initial menu starts opened to the app store with suggestions based on what you already bought.

But that initial menu let’s you also set quick access buttons for your favorite apps.

So it’s only a single click to go from “put on headsst” to “open thing I want” usually.

It’s not any different from steam starting you out in the store tbh, I can accept that level of advertising as it’s pretty transparent and half the time it has something of interest for me anyways.

It’s about as big of a deal as a gift shop at a museum.

… no? I was asking a serious question.

Who tabled this bill, and who is supporting it?

This seems like it has pretty powerful potential for space flight.

Being able to aggressively min max packaging materials to secure materials could be critical for reducing payload sizes on shuttles, where every single individual gram counts.

Each kg of packaging is thousands of dollars to get into orbit, so that’s really appealing.

I’d be curious to see if Amazon is also working on box packing algorithms for maximizing fitting n parcels across x delivery trucks.

IE if you have 10,00 boxes to move, what’s the fewest delivery trucks you can fit those boxes into as fast as possible too, which introduces multiple complex concepts. Both packing to maximize space usage and the order you pack it in to minimize armature travel time…

I’d put money down amazon is perfecting this algorithm right now, and has been for awhile.

Bruh did you read the article at all? Nothing you talked about has anything to do with what this AI is for.

Harpoon is pretty much just tabs, but, without the actual visual ui of tabs, from my experience.

You pin a specific buffer, and can jump back to it, but unlike normal markers it persists between sessions and has a couple other nuances to it.

It pretty much works like tabs do though.
