This looks old and outdated if you have anything newer than a tv from 2021 sadly

1kk? Why not say 1M?

This is such a weird hill to die on dude. People are angry and it's been an embarrassing disaster filled with fraud on the highest scale, jumping on the fact that 1 out of 500 of his policies hasn't been bad just makes you look like you've completely missed the point

There was one about NHS giving all of UK's medical data to Palantir by accident last week that got pulled from the front page about 20mins after it was posted too, feels fishy af

This is insanely fucked up, but also unsurprising.

FWIW - In the Claude app (on android) when in transcript mode, it has a hard limit of 10 minutes. If you transcribe longer than that, it crashes and you lose everything you've said.

To make matters worse, they've recently gotten rid of the timer, so you have NFI how long you've been speaking for.

I use it for therapy-based stream-of-consciousnesses + venting and then have my project set up to understand the schema therapy work I've done with my psychologist and give me insights / draw threads between things from my past and now, and losing 10 whole minutes of talking and processing is SO FRUSTRATING!

Deep link now ( https://Deeplinknow.com ) - deferred deep linking for developers / people who dont want their links blocked by adockers because Branch/Appsflyer et al are actually under-the-hood cross platform ad tracking services.

I do no tracking, no analytics, just help you cross the airgap between web and mobile app so you can send users to the right place (and track them however you deem necessary)

This, but Real-Debrid. No need to self-host TBs of content and manually download them.

This slightly outdated guide helps you set it up pretty easily - instead of Zurg+ Black hole, use Decypharr

https://savvyguides.wiki/sailarrsguide/

Real-debrid == imagine a huge cloud storage service. You have 1000 people trying to download Burgonia.4k.mkv. it downloads the torrent once to the shared server, then gives each user their own access to it via a WebDAV mount.

WebDAV == trick you server into thinking a cloud server is a local folder. You use RClone to mount this and it's accessible from your local drive so you can stream all your stuff directly.

What this means: you add a show in Sonarr or a movie in Radarr. Prowlarr searches Torrentio or Zilean for torrents. The best match is chosen. It sends to Decypharr (or black hole) to say "download this torrent to my real debrid box". It finds the cached version of the file, which is instantly available in your drive. It's symlinked so Plex can pick up the file.

Basically the lead time from requesting a movie/series to watching it on your tv is about 10 seconds, with no storage overhead required.

I know Duralex because they're the de facto coffee cup for a latte in the world's best cafes. I dunno how or why it happened, but since about 2008 if you go to a cafe in Melbourne and your latte comes in anything BUT one of those Duralex glasses, you should run for the hills.

Bullfrogs? That's a funny name, I'd've called them Chuzwozzas!

Good point, but if they're operating in the US, UK and Europe, and are fully remote out of the box, is it that much of a stretch to add the other time zones?

Or is it just something that US-led startups don't think about?

One of the first things I think about when I'm launching a new startup is "How will I service clients in the US or Europe when I'm asleep?", I'd hope that global companies think about Asia that way too.
