- Comment on Another of God's cruel tricks. 20 hours ago:
Don’t worry. You’ll get the rest of the little ones with your feet.
- Comment on Not the worst sales technique. 1 day ago:
Ain’t half bad.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 1 day ago:
In principle, yes, and I believe a few small hobby projects have attempted to do this. However, interest developing a custom Smart TV platform tends to get siphoned away into a project where the output is displayed on the TV simply because it’s easier to develop and maintain support across different model TVs.
Why would you develop a custom TV OS that runs on one TV when you could develop it for any mini PC and immediately support all TVs? You’d have to develop your OS to run on each specific TV model which will make it quite hard to reach a critical mass sufficient to attract attention from developers and users alike.
The juice isn’t really worth the squeeze. It’s not like TV vendors are publishing detailed hardware specs and drivers. Writing or even porting an OS is hard. Look at the state of the Android ROM scene, and that’s about as good as it gets when some vendors are actually attempting to open source their drivers. The difficulty is much higher and the interest lower due to the existence of a viable alternative.

At least it’s better than unalived, which strikes me as especially dystopian with the self-censorship.

How does this compare to RCT?

You’re mistaken. He is a king now.
- Comment on And 299999999 is divisible by 13 1 week ago:
Well yes of course. If it was a different base, writing it that way if the symbol was even available would be a different number.
- Comment on And 299999999 is divisible by 13 1 week ago:
…9999 is exactly equal to -1.

- Comment on Climate Change Should Make You Rethink Homeownership 2 weeks ago:
Definitely has. I live in a coastal area prone to natural disasters with sky high home prices thanks to short supplies and speculation. Definitely looks like a bad deal to me.
- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s the best at what it does. That problem space doesn’t have a lot of good options.
- Comment on Trump’s Environmental Claims Ignore Decades of Climate Science | He says he wants “clean air and clean water,” but has rolled back environmental rules and dismissed the scientific consensus on climate 2 weeks ago:
He says all sorts of things. This is the tamest of his lies.
- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s mainly marketing. Your phone is smaller, so it feels like it should have a smaller adapter to be more convenient. It takes less convincing for a large adapter when you’re already carrying around a laptop in a bag.
Part of it is also history. It used to be that you needed much higher power dissipation so your adapter needs to be physically larger for a laptop to shed that heat, but nowadays laptops are more efficient and phones draw more power than they used to. Still, the idea that a phone charger should be smaller still feels right to the consumer, and much effort has been expended to ensure that they are small.
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 2 weeks ago:
Real shame it’s not sold in the States! And I would prefer a higher-end processor option but I understand the choice for support.
- Comment on Since when does a clock need a privacy policy? 2 weeks ago:
That policy better be really short.
- Comment on Simple as that 2 weeks ago:
Honestly it’s amazing that we have any poor left.
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 3 weeks ago:
The things consumers most want are features they really don’t want to give us, like expandable storage, replaceable batteries, and other actual solvable problems where they stand to benefit.
Best I can do is AI.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 3 weeks ago:
