Same! I’m lowkey tempted to get a fancy one now, but deep down I know it just isn’t worth it.

If you care to minimize Standby power “comfortably”, usually libraries or power companies will let you borrow an AC Power Meter free of charge.

You can use that to inspect your various devices Standby Power. For example I have an amplifier that pulls nearly 15W in standby, since finding out it lives on a smart plug.

However my TV pulls less than 1W, and at that point I prefer the convenience of just being able to use the remote to turn it on.

(Also keep in mind with the smart plug solution that the plug itself will pull a little bit of power too, this will pretty much always be <1W though.)

In that case you can try adding before:2023 or similar to your search

Soumds like revolt might be interesting to you.

Streaming, especially video, is quite challenging and expensive. The fact that discord’s video streaming was so cheap was always somewhat suspicious.

I almost walked into traffic in England once, a friend had to pull me back. Scary stuff.

It’ll be a collab with HP!

I believe Matrix doesn’t have nearly as strong (if any) metadata encryption as Signal

This launcher looks super cool, does anyone bychance know if it works on FireTVs? I was ok with the FireTV launcher up until they made it autoplay ads with sound everytime you turn the damn thing on.

High resolution displays on laptops, SSDs in laptops.

Those are the two I can think of right now. I believe Linus (LTT) talked about this on WAN show not too long ago aswell.

I use gptAssist, which is a webview wrapper for the ChatGPT website.

Huh, pretty much every plan in Germany includes infinite call minutes and messages

I’m not an expert either, but the DAC on my Galaxy S10 sounds amazing. It’s just a question of whether manufacturers bother implementing it properly.

If you have to access wikis from fandom, you can use breezewiki

This could be a long shot but if it’s a Samsung Galaxy Tab S, the battery connector solder joints kinda die after a while, which can either be fixed by reflowing them or by applying pressure (I have a tablet with that issue). You could try pressing on the battery connector and see if it works then.

Most mobile devices won’t work without batteries. The best way to work around this is to supply it with 4.2V (anything between 3V and 4.2V will do) over the battery connector.

In terms of FOSS apps MuPDF is the best one I’ve found. It’s not as good as the drive pdf viewer though, MuPDF is more oriented towards books

This looks awesome, Thanks!

I started making an Android app for it here. It’s obviously still in a very early stage, but it can already kind of display profiles. Also disclaimer I don’t really know what I’m doing, this is more of a yolo I wanna look into Android app development kinda thing.

While I can’t comment on the beeper side of things, I did look into matrix and bridges a bit.

From what I understand, for all e2ee services you use through beeper (and matrix in general), all messages get sent to the server encrypted by matrix, then the server decrypts them and they get re-encrypted in a different protocol (ie. WhatsApp/Signal/…) and then the encrypted message goes out to whatever service.

This would mean that technically the matrix server is able to read all your messages.

This is my main reason for still using the native apps for encrypted services. For unencrypted services I use a my own matrix server with bridges.
