Really fun idea and well done, but this would get annoying very quickly.

Ok, so now that Roku is dead, what alternatives do we have?

And literally everything has a sponsor.

"Vitello on his way to the mound for a Tavis Law Mound visit".

"Matt Chapman in the Golden Gate Carpet on-deck circle."

"Don't forget, it's Taco Bell Tuesday here at Oracle Park. Every Tuesday is Taco Bell Tuesday!"

Ugh.

Are these slop or actual human reporting?

Yeah I'm sorry but I can't take someone seriously that believes that Hyperloop will be a viable form of transportation. It's nothing but an idiotic fantasy and that's all it will ever be

Excellent news! Sounds like the only sticky points are the camera and keyboard backlight (which does work except OS can't detect it's state.) The camera for me is a non-issue, I don't use it and I just put a piece of tape over it anyway.

That's a really interesting idea. Can you import a list from an external source, like IMDB or Google Keep?

Wouldn't you need a tool that moves faster than the speed of light to cut a photon in half?

I thought photons didn't have any mass?

Allegedly. I was disappointed to find out this is theoretical and they did not actually cut a photon in two.

Sounds like the first sentence of a post-apocalyptic sci-fi novel.

Oh boy, just what I wanted, AI slopification of my car entertainment system.

How much you want to bet this marvelous software will require online access for mandatory updates, data collection and a subscription fee?

New comment by HardwareLust in "Ask HN: How much time do you spend cooking every day?"

HardwareLust — Fri, 29 May 2026 14:48:41 +0000

Breakfast and lunch are usually pretty quick, 10-15 mins tops. Dinner can vary, of course. If I had to guess, probably average close to an hour a night.

If we don't count shooters or MMOs, probably some flavor of Civ.

Solitaire is probably right up there though lol.
