for me it was custom scripts looking for data in minified bundles and refactoring for easier protocol reverse engineering, e.g. https://github.com/echtzeit-solutions/monsgeek-akko-linux/bl...

I did something similar using ghidramcp for digging around this keyboard firmware, repo contains the ghidra project, linux driver and even patches to the original stock fw. https://github.com/echtzeit-solutions/monsgeek-akko-linux

yes, but it requires some nudging if you don't want to waste tokens. it will happily grep and sed through massive javascript bundles but if you tell it to first create tooling like babel scripts to format, it will be much quicker.

vscode and its forks as well (for files it saves)

I can tell you from first hand experience that claude+ghidra mcp is very good at understanding firmware, labeling functions, finding buffer overflows, patching in custom functionality

So you're saying they could just make the driver compliant without advertising compliance under the hdmi logo? similar to how e.g. oneplus shipped phones without advertising their higher IPX rating because certification would have cost too much, or chinese electronics supporting "tf card" instead of "micro sd card" but being compatible anyways

I made a mcp that would use a pty lib to allow claude to debug a TUI app I was writing with ok-ish results. ultimately I wanted to see what was happening myself so when I need interactive I just tell it to use tmux-cli to capture the neighboring pane. https://github.com/pchalasani/claude-code-tools/blob/main/do... maybe turning that into a mcp with more guardrails and integrated guide to the agent would make it more popwerful

Depends on what you like to play. Some games are heavily encumbered with either copy protection like denuvo or anti-cheat and those either don't support linux or flat out try to sniff out linux and refuse to run on anything but windows. Otherwise its great, you can check protondb and winehq for reports of compatibilty.

I can't comment on the merit of the technical aspects, but I feel like of all the AI generated content, especially AI generated music is as interesting as AI generated memoirs - sort of pointless. It lacks the human element that makes it relatable on an emotional level.

Have you ever been to hama sushi, sushiroh or Kura sushi? These are chains where you order from a tablet and it gets delivered via belt to your seat or pick from the belt. You pay at an semiautomatic kiosk. Meeting the staff is optional

From the POV of the users it doesn't really make any difference whether the government bannd tiktok, vine went bankrupt, google decided wave was not worth it or any other reason a service becomes unavailable. They will cope by moving to a different service or changing their consumption habits

New comment by heeen2 in "One Dog vs. the Windows 3.1 Graphics Stack"

heeen2 — Sun, 05 Jan 2025 06:57:04 +0000

It requires a GPU in the same sense that windows 3.1 or dos or whatever else requires a GPU to convert the contents of a memory buffer to a signal that a display can actually display.

But you can also just encode the result of your composition to a h264 stream and send that over the network if you so desire. no GPU required in this case.

> The simplest means of getting pixels from client to compositor, and the only one enshrined in wayland.xml, is wl_shm — shared memory. Simply put, it allows you to transfer a file descriptor for the compositor to mmap with MAP_SHARED, then share pixel buffers out of this pool. Add some simple synchronization primitives to keep everyone from fighting over each buffer, and you have a workable — and portable — solution.
