After a year there’s only something about linux-firmware requiring manual intervention.

I thought I wasn’t reading the news in correct place. Manjaro had update snapshot discussion threads, and usually there were things to fix manually. Usually just minor things.

If you are also white, not only will you be granted entry, you’ll also immediately get citizenship.

I had luck with VNC, although it’s still worse than RDP. There’s also some RDP implementations on Linux that are apparently better, but VNC works well enough for me.
But there’s no sound, I don’t know if RDP has that. I’ve used VLC for sound forwarding. I also tried PulseAudio TCP module, but that didn’t quite work. With VLC I can do lossy compression.

What I wish would work better is X11 forwarding. That could be so awesome, just having the remote windows local-like. But from what I can find, in the past, programs used X11’s drawing features which would save a lot of bandwidth, while now they just draw pixel by pixel.

To give you some idea, I’ve tried it on LAN with gigabit ethernet, ping below 1ms. It would saturate the port and still be kinda slow.

I also found it OK-ish, at least after my usual disabling of BITS and SuperFetch (SysMain now, I think), and disabling auto-updates, I think in gpedit.msc, and using the provided BypassNRO.cmd to create local account.

Alright, maybe not that OK, but after the initial setup it ran fine even on officially unsupported computer made in 2007. Just had to modify the installer by merging W11 image into W10 installer.

Anyway, the Windows store or whatever isn’t that used, and I got tired of updating every random program coming from .exe files. But similarly I don’t like the large hops in versions like Windows 10 -> 11, or similarly with Linux Mint, so I went with Arch.

Anyway, I’ll be a smaller minority. I most liked Windows 8.1. It was really well optimized.

I like them. It spins, it makes a sound when being used, it looks cool, I have to be a bit more gentle with it.

I think this could rather be related to power saving if the screen is locked.

I prefer to use a dedicated internet radio app. VLC also works if you obtain the direct stream (check online or play around with element inspector).

Have you replied to the wrong person?

If you were replying to me, the WebUI is best optimized for landscape use, and I don’t like using my phone in portrait mode much, especially if I want to type.
Plus I get tabs. The Android multitasking is unreliable, and switching is inconvenient. There’s no desktop-like panel, and background apps often die if more of them are open at once.
Lastly, embeds. Apps usually only work with images with regular URL, the WebUI works with Images, Video, Audio also in base64 data tag for tiny images, and images can be made into buttons.

Let me give you examples:

This is the Bulgarian Radio 1 stream:
Probably broken in most Lemmy apps.

And here’s a button, but in base64 so it’s directly in the comment, since it is pretty small:
Probably also broken in some apps.

These are edge cases, but an advantage too. If I wasn’t lazy, I could use animated bullets and lines like on the old web, but in Lemmy comments.

Welcome to this example comment

Firefox on Android was a bit of pain for desktop sites. First the tabs on top were missing, and until recently, the scaling was screwed up compared to Opera/Chrome.

Holy hell, the Ubuntu ISO is 6.3GB now. Soon it may not even fit onto a DL DVD.

Or host your own VPN on home network. Or use Tailscale VPN, that also works behind CG-NAT, and can usually get direct connection.

You guys have sound? I can’t unmute it in Lemmy, and directly on Imgur the unmute is grayed out.

Edit: Hmm, works on Firefox, again

Not the first time some media worked only in Firefox, but not Chrome. Embedded FLAC wouldn’t play (despite it being supported), WebSDR audio wouldn’t start, from the other times I recall.
Again being reminded to switch.

My closest attempt at pronouncing that:

echo 'šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm' | aplay -c 1 -f u8 -r 2000 -t raw -

So just no security instead?

Pine64 devices like the PinePhone still use it for serial: https://pine64.com/product/pinebook-pinephone-pinetab-serial-console/

Then it would be US only. But it works for example with Switzerland (non-EU).

Why the hell does the link just redirect me to their YouTube channel?

Edit: Seems to do that only with EU countries, other countries’ IPs work. Probably don’t want to deal with privacy protection.

But underneath it’s just unicast to your phone, no?

But anyway, beamed directly it may be, it’s called beamforming.

In the world of 5G, this is the act of focusing a wireless signal in a specific direction. Compared to simply sending a signal across a wide area, beamforming requires more sophisticated antenna technology.
[…] Beamforming technology, on the other hand, sends a precise and concentrated signal right to your smartphone. It is more deliberate and intentional with its delivery method.

It also let’s you spoof some devices to download “incompatible” apps.

There’s also MeshCore, and now the networks are split between these 2.
