If you can get iOS 16.5 to run on Android, how much more is a stretch to move it to Linux?

Silo looks interesting, I wish it supported OSX servers though but I imagine that's so fringe.

Realizing I could replace the launcher was so nice. Apps only mode was my default for a while on Android TV. We use Pleezy for our Plex client

I use Pleezy which has been a nice open source alternative to the Plex UI. The only issue we've had is that on wake, you have to press back once to do anything else. I'll eventually debug it and see if I can fix it.

I don't think they force upgrade but it looks like the fix was part of 1.43.3 and my app is on 1.43.4

Slate starts at 25k though... the SUV is at 30k. And that's without things like power windows and some basic amenities right?

I will say my experience making a chromecast custom app though has been painful. It's fine to just send media though.

I tried multiple ways, contacted their support and they just kept me trying to do the same thing over and over again. For some reason I could not register my device with my development account. Tried multiple SDKs to get it to work, just ran into the same isue.

Ha when I saw it 82% white I immediately raised an eyebrow at who is filling this out. Maybe Silicon Valley bias but that still seems aggregious

Ehhhh, people are specific about their albums. I recently used this auto tagger and it would tag a song in a strange album. Like song Ocean Avenue from Yellowcard was not from their album Yellowcard but some compilation album that I had never heard of.

I think it's justifiable to call out her contribution. She was an excellent editor without Star Wars, her work includes American Graffiti and Taxi Driver.

I consider her a part of what makes the original trilogy great but I don't think it diminishes Lucas' contribution. No one person is "what makes it great". Plus the internet loves the underdog or a a "TIL"

Yes, I assume when they choose "who to test" affiliate commission is factored in.

Are you suggesting that all retailers even boutique/smaller ones use affiliate codes regularly?

That's an interesting development. I was under the impression that outside of larger retailers, affiliate codes weren't as common.

I'm curious then why did techgearlab not choose to review the matic which is certainly a new interesting player in the robot vaccuum game. I'll have to reach out!

I imagine they only review places that will give them affiliate points. I was curious if they tested the mattic in the robot vacuums category and they didn’t.

The ability to change font styles from the keyboarding using / is a nice touch, I wish Apple notes feature had that versus having to memorize a ton of keyboard shortcuts to change different styles.

It seems odd that they want you to pay for transit with your visa. That excludes a lot of travelers who might have passes on their transit cards. Less common in the Bay since all our transit providers are different but I used to pay monthly for the Muni + Local BART pass all the time when I lived in SF.
