@nprofile1q... ah, yeah, from a streaming conversant app/server isn’t so bad.

But capturing audio from a random app on the machine and casting it is still way harder than on macOS/iOS. You realise how much work goes into that when you have to roll it yourself with pipewire and chromecast sink daemons 😳

@nprofile1q... now try casting audio (I’m not even thinking about video) to a networked speaker on your LAN. Go on, I dare you 😎

@nprofile1q... could this just be the opening salvo in a move to block them at an ISP level if (when) they don’t pay?

Have any of you ever bought from doubledipstore.co.uk?

The prices look way too good to be true, and there’s nothing at all on trustpilot, good or bad 😕

This is absolutely brilliant, and sadly brings to mind a few people I know/knew who went to work out in Dubai.

My #tinyMac hardware build is complete, just in time for #MARCHintosh! It was surprising just how much of a challenge squeezing all the hardware and cabling into the case was in the end. The underlying Linux OS is Bluetooth paired with a spare, modern, Magic Mouse and Keyboard.

Now to get some interesting software on it, and try to get it on #globaltalk

Had to pay £1.50 for a trolley token at Tesco today. Thatcher’s Britain! 🤨

@nprofile1q... most people in the military under in their teens aren’t highly ranked enough to understand and assess risk, you do what you’re told. That’s what officers and NCOs are for.

If you live long enough, you might learn to assess risk, get promoted, and be responsible for other teenagers.

Today I learned that:
- the cheap USB cables I bought have GND and 5V switched 🤨
- my good PD USB-C PSU has a soft fuse in it that resets when you power cycle it 🏆
