Not sure if that’s what you mean by heavy but I recently watched 1984 and while the movie is good I found it kind of hard to watch. Possibly because a lot of the story and background information was only indirectly said or hinted at and you had to actually pay attention and think about what you saw.
I guess I’m just used to modern cinema where everything is very in your face
Huh, today I learned
On the topic of SMB. If OP is mostly interested in accessing the music from their phone, a symfonium + SMB server setup may be even easier than setting up navidrome
Not a valid option if you are looking specifically for lossless music
First big problem is that cops or anyone else can wear gloves
Obviously we have to ban gloves
Not OP but I’m curious about one thing I personally miss with kate.
Do you know if it is possible with kate to keep temporary text files open after closing the program the same way notepad++ can?
Oh it definetely is a bit hacky.
At one point I tried using home assistant to automatically turn my tv and stereo on or off depending on the state of the chromecast but that didn’t really work consistently unfortunately.
My solution is far from ideal but it works for me.
I have a Chromecast connected to my TV which outputs to my stereo system. Power to TV and stereo are controlled via smart plugs that I can quickly toggle when I want to stream music.
The good thing: It works.
The bad things:
Please for the love of god, someone go and build an electric car that is as dumb as possible
Is there actually any car manufacturer that has decent hardware and software? I have never driven a really “modern” car but from all that I’ve seen so far the interfaces are typically horrible to interact with and laggy to the point where I prefer my car as dumb as possible
I believe that is an Android 14 feature, not something exclusive to Pixel phones
Based on all the stories I’ve heard so far about senior engineers, if you get promoted high enough you don’t even have time to write code anymore
I have a degree in computer science. Today I was defeated by my mother’s laptop not detecting its fucking webcam. Downloaded the official driver from HP but I have no clue whether that one even got installed because the install scripts always ended weirdly fast without a success or error message. I will never buy a cheap HP laptop again.
Ah, I guess I was only looking at AV1 support in that case. I only remembered it was missing something I wanted due to its age
I believe its missing h265 and av1 hardware support and while it probably has enough performance to handle those codecs in software, I wasn’t willing to drop more than 100 euros on a 5 year old device without hardware decoding for them
I used KDEConnect in the past but ran into issues where somehow media sent to my phone wasn’t saved somehow. Probably some permission issue but I didn’t manage to fix it. Also the windows client only allows selection of one file at a time.
Recently I’ve tried out LocalSend and found it a much smoother experience.
Yeah, I see how that makes sense. I typically don’t buy “cheap” shoes but rather shoes for which there is likely a newer model available or the store has some other reason to get rid of the old stock and are therefore heavily discounted.
Exceptions can be made for shoes that have a special purpose, e.g. hiking boots or dress shoes in my opinion. For everyday stuff I look for the cheapest neutral looking ones that fit well
Digital when I’m not at home and need to remember some stuff for later. If I’m at home I use a notebook so I have an excuse to use my fancy fountain pens.
Hobby electronics?
Need a small part? Better buy 10 in case you break one and because it’s only marginally more expensive than getting one. Now repeat for every project you do
