As someone who works in this industry and has access to commercial HDMI debugging equipment, I can’t agree more.

I will use Harmony for my home setup until it no longer functions.

The horrors I have seen related to CEC and ARC are something else.

This is the primary way I read longer articles on the internet. I hope something else pops up because this changes my daily routine pretty significantly.

Almost everything you have written here can also describe Canada. There is an Australian YouTuber named Chris Kohler who does really funny little shorts describing things happening in the Aussie economy and it’s jarring how often they apply directly to Canada also.

I'm not much of a MacOS fan, but his laptop is the best laptop I've ever owned. I got the 8GB/256GB version and it was worth the price because my kid still uses it every day. The 720p webcam is fantastic quality. The speakers are the best I've ever had in a laptop.

We just replaced the battery with a new one from iFixit and it's like a brand new machine.

I have some Prana pants that I really like, but don't wear too often. Recently someone asked me where I got them and I said, "hmm maybe 5 years ago at MEC." A month later I came across a picture of me wearing those same pants on a fishing trip 16 years ago.

Some weeks would go by and I would just check n-gate to see what happened on HN.

20/33 layers offloaded to GPU, 4K context. Uses 25GB system RAM and all 24GB VRAM. 5-7 tokens per second.

The Mediaroom IPTV platform which DT is probably using has millions of deployed STBs still running WinCE 5.0.

A simple bidet like a Neo 120. It simply baffles me that North Americans haven’t caught on to how life changing this is.

My use case for Pocket is completely different from the author’s.

I use it every day to get web content onto a Kobo ereader. It strips ads and often gets stuff behind paywalls.

My family shares the same pocket account and we often end up discussing things that get synced to all the kobos in the house.

This functionality is so useful and seems like a well kept secret. If it went away I’d really be upset.

The gambling aspect has become part of NHL hockey broadcasts now in Canada. On HNIC on a Saturday night, I watched Ron Maclean hand over the broadcast to some guy from a gambling company for a ~10 second segment on the current odds of each team winning. It wasn't like cutting to a commercial break where there's a clear separation between the broadcast and the advertiser.

It's terrible.
