I haven't had enough motivation to sit on my couch and game after a long day ..

But the same game, in bed, on my deck was so much nicer..

All I can now say is having a dedicated device, that's not your laptop/computer to play games is definitely a market - be it Steam machine (/custom builds), hand held gaming, or just regular consoles..

You might have a better luck with network level ad blocker like pi-hole or adguard for eg

They used an LLM to come up with a Hackathon idea. They tried to use LLM to get to the implementation part. One of the permissions they (/the LLM) were asking for wasn't even needed for their project. When I pointed that out, I got a response from them that starts with "You are right about the permissions".

Today they've successfully finished the project too.

Not sure what I even think/feel about this but it's definitely weird to think about this.

The charging port on my motorola phone got so loose that I frequently end up with an uncharged phone after a full night of "charging", just because the cable's own weight keeps yanking it out of the phone. The phone is not even 3 years old.

It would be nice to get a user replaceable USB port. Meanwhile, I'm not sure if those magnetic USB cables help this situation any bit or they further damage the port.

If you have a private server with a public IP, you don't need localtunnel etc.. you can just use ssh tunnels to expose your home network services over public IP.

Because embedded usually means dealing with complete functionality provided by the soc, bare minimum for the init system to get quick boot times.

If you just want to boot the CPU and run some IoT app, device tree + kernel + uboot should be enough.

But for anything with a GUI, You'd probably need the vendor provided binary blobs for GPU accelerated UI, proper gstreamer packages with all the patches to make it work with the binary blobs... properly packaged Qt etc ... Not to mention read only rootfs and A/B partitions for upgrades to deal with power loss headaches.

I haven't used Nix for any of these but most of these things are available ready to use with the vendor provided buildroot or yocto setups. And it would've been just more work to get this all working with yet another build system/package manager

Here's hoping my $135 BC-250 arriving tomorrow works without any issue.

Either way, congrats to Valve!

Is this just for a purely software implementation of it?

The routers were very basic model with very limited flash memory (~4MB?). I was brought in to build firmware for those routers. I ended up customising openwrt - removed all kinds of packages to make their packages fit on those routers. At the end, I had less than 4KB space, And I needed to implement a "heart beat" service. A lot of routers were behind firewalls that only allowed http, https and a couple of other protocols. Libcurl was too heavy. So I ended up writing a shell script that used this feature of bash to send out heart beats.

Fun times...

Not only did the new changes did not fix what they thought it would fix but it broke other things in unexpected ways.

I brought in two changes after that:

* I'm not reviewing/reading anything that you yourself did not read / test in the target environments properly. If all it takes is an LLM prompt, I could be issuing the same prompt to make my life easier.. and If you're sending a CL, you should be owning the code you send.

* Me being more involved in the design process so review burden itself becomes lower. A bit of pair programming from time to time helped too.

Not sure how things will turn out after this but so far they seem better.

The mimimi games: Shadow Tactics, Desperados 3, Shadow Gambit are my favourite.. it's view cones but they also depend on the amount of light there is. they're isometric though.

And half of them completely disable local network access... Like why?!

Road warrior even supports it.

But i keep going back to regular ssh or shpool with roadwarrior.

Or does your laptop have no other igpu?

My last Nvidia laptop was a Hybrid optimus laptop. I almost always ran it on the built in Intel igpu because of the really bad issues with the Nvidia cards. Video tearing, bad power management etc... I remember even switching the GPU wasn't easy... And performance wasn't as good either ..

But their happy path hasn't included proper wayland support for a long time.
