also the audio output of each computer is routed thru the box as well, so i can mix my girlfriend’s computer into her headphones as well as my microphone, so she can hear me with noise canceling headphones, or turn off my microphone if i’m working so she can do stuff without my mic in her ears.

Or if she’s watching a movie or something I can also add her computer audio to my headphones. There’s even a separate audio output for host 1 where you can put ‘chat’ on, like discord on a dedicated interface, so that your application audio is clear and isolated. It’s hella expensive but it really is a great device

I’m very used to doing this stuff manually for various devices and software, but am also interested in tracking llm progress, and it seemed simple enough to get a rundown of what was happening while I did other work.

It was the first time I have messed around with hid devices though, so that was aided by claude

and yeah i’ve been bit by having to google how to get mkpasswd dozens of times over the years and used to have to do a lot of rootfs editing on a mac, so I got used to doing it in a container.

no real reason for wanting pw auth, I ended up turning it off afterwards but it’s been a bit since I wrote this

thanks for the comment!

Normally when I look at these devices firmware they’re horrific beasts with insane issues everywhere. This just requires a config change to fix the single thing I don’t like about it. There’s plenty of outrage in the world :)
