That’s actually a pretty slick idea not gonna lie. If I ever de-Google, that might be the way I go.

I like to travel with a Chromecast and a mini router so I can do TV stuff away from home.

Now I’m wondering, I know that USB stick computers have existed for awhile. I’m wondering… Does something similar in size to the Chromecast exist? Something just powerful enough to stream whatever I want to a TV with whatever software I can load on it? Hmm…

That’s a bummer, but makes sense.

That’s cool. Is there an option for “casting” type software to emulate a Chromecast? I like choosing stuff on my phone and sending it to the TV

Oh that’s fair, yeah especially on Linux

Well I think of the people who have 4K stuff (I don’t), there’s probably a lot of gamers who have 4K monitors by not TVs? Just guessing, IDK 🤷‍♂️

Do you not have a TV? I’ve watched stuff on my monitor, sure, but sitting on the couch watching TV is what the vast majority of people do.

Unless you mean connecting your computer to your TV? I did this for awhile, there are ways to make it work, but I much prefer using a Chromecast or similar device to simplify the whole interaction.

So good

Came here to say Mariners revenge. Love that song.

Always removed about anything else?

Am I the only one who actually looked for more pixels for this guy?

Anywho, here you go my guy:

Edit: hmmm, Lemmy seems to be compressing it. Here’s a link.

Small high power flashlight, about the size of a tube of m&ms. People laugh at it all the time, but it comes in handy weekly, sometimes daily.

Think of how many times you pull out your credit cell phone light. Now imagine being able to light up a room like daylight if need be. Very useful.

Those same people who laugh, eventually realize the value, and come asking for my light when we’re together and it’s needed

I keep a pair of those loop ones in my backpack for the same reason

This happened for me with the scene in one of the new star trek movies where they play beastie boys while busting out of a cloud or something. Idk, it was a really cool scene, but I was mad that I’d already seen it in the trailer. It’s ludicrous. I still complain about it to my wife to this day.

Ham here too, what practical uses have you found? Mine is sitting in a box, I got it almost a year ago and haven’t checked the latest firmware or apps in almost that long.

We use our breville for hot water too

I did this last month in my 04 Honda CRV, such a massive upgrade. I don’t have steering wheel controls, and I didn’t want to tap a screen for volume control, so I went with the boss be7acp because it has a physical volume knob. Added a backup camera because why not.

It’s been a massive upgrade! Crutchfield is the bomb, installation wasn’t that hard, a bit fiddly getting to the wires for the backup and park, but I was done in a couple hours, backup camera included.

This for me, the only success I’ve had is with network issues.

Cool!

Can you put the listener count on the page? I was curious earlier as to how many were listening but couldn’t find it

Woo!
