FWIW I replaced my Samsung “smart” TV by a Nebula Mars video projector. It’s very convenient and let’s me forget I have it, tucked away and hidden most of the time. Yes it is “smart” but it’s Android and I can connect via adb to it to install apps like VLC, make it start on boot, etc. I’m not updating it.

Next time I do buy a replacement though I’ll verify first in forums if it can be rooted to have the level of control I need. Maybe there will be a OSHW equivalent to https://www.crowdsupply.com/open-tools/open-printer for video projectors as unfortunately it seems like a trend.

Meanwhile ASML just stops doing R&D and give up on its extremely specialized supply chain. /s

They don’t want to wake up until they have something else more appealing to put their money on. They NEED something to invest. They don’t care what it is, or even if it works but it has to be plausible enough to make money, more money.

Until there is another scam to put their money in, they are stuck in the bubble, like us.

Just have to ask nicely. 🐙

FWIW (and I know it’s not the joke…) it’s perfectly fine to remove the mouth piece while scuba diving. In fact it’s part of basic training. You should be able to remove the mouth piece and take another one, your octopus or the one of your buddy, in case there is an incident.

No… the real question for a good diver is how the heck you’re going to say HDMI 2.1 with hand signs! /s

Is there a way to verify that? I did run Servo months ago and some pages did render without issues. Others not but that wasn’t enough for me to draw such a conclusion. I remember Mozilla pushed for https://webcompat.com/ so wondering if this can be used to see the pace of change.

It renders… so what is missing for you to use it?

Open an issue to explain why it’s not enough for you? If you can make a PR for it that actually implements the things you need, do it?

My point to say everything is already out there and perfectly fits your need, only that a LOT is already out there. If all re-invent the wheel in our own corner it’s basically impossible to learn from each other.

If I understand correctly then this means mostly adapting the interface?

Sure, you’re right, I just worry (maybe needlessly) about people re-inventing the wheel because it’s “easier” than searching without properly understand the cost of the entire process.

FWIW that’s a good question but IMHO the better question is :

What kind of small things have you vibed out that you needed that didn’t actually exist or at least you couldn’t find after a 5min search on open source forges like CodeBerg, Gitblab, Github, etc?

Because making something quick that kind of works is nice… but why even do so in the first place if it’s already out there, maybe maintained but at least tested?

I agree… but beside the point I have access to a dedicated workshop and a tool library https://www.tournevie.be/ which challenges this whole setup. It’s relatively unique though, unfortunately, so your example still stands, thanks for sharing.

Yep. That’s exactly why I tend to never discuss “AI” with people who don’t have to actually have a PhD in the domain, or at least a degree in CS. It’s nothing against them specifically, it’s only that they are dangerously repeating what they heard during marketing presentations with no ability to criticize it and, in such cases, it can be quite dangerous.

TL;DR: people who could benefit from it don’t need it, people who would shouldn’t.

Mostly because the model is incapable

There, fixed that for you.

That’s their question too, why the hell did Google makes this the default, as opposed to limiting it to the project directory.

Because “agentic”. IMHO running commands is actually cool, doing it without very limited scope though (as he did say in the video) is definitely idiotic.

Well… at least do that for Windows and MacOS, not for Linux.

Because people who runs this shit precisely don’t know what containers, scope, permissions, etc are. That’s exactly the audience.
