Nighed

Nepal or something wasn't it?

If I understand correctly, they recently rebuilt all of the voice/video stuff. Video should be coming soon, it's more of a resourcing issue for their servers.

I looked at self hosting, but it's a bit of a mess currently.

I'm in the UK though, so they imply they may (already or in teh future) need to verify my age anyway.

They don't seem to have a great out of box experience currently, will require some more poking around.

I'm going to try self hosting https://stoat.chat/ not sure it has screen sharing yet, but apparently they just re-wrote all their voice/video stuff, so it should be available soon.

I played around for a while with Blazor (C# Web assembly) and wasn't a massive fan.

The debugging experience was awful.

Lots of runtime gotchas, it's limited to one thread, so anything that creates a thread will fail at runtime (but not 'normal' async stuff). What code creates a thread? No idea until it fails at runtime.

Yes, you can share a dto project between front end and backend, but anything else will eventually trip you up.

It's still a cool idea though, will try it again at some point.

I thought the aluminium was fine conductivity wise, the problem is that it oxidises and becomes brittle.

Every time a BT man went into the box, it was russian roulette as to whose internet would get broken.

There is also https://wandrer.earth/ (not federated) that is really cool. It gives you points for each unique mile you have been, encourages you to explore new places.

the answer is yes! https://docs.opencloud.eu/docs/admin/welcome/features#files-on-demand

may try to give it a spin later this year

How is the file sync integration? Even some of the commercial products have shocking implementations.

Does it support shadow copies of files?

I think part of the idea is: build it and they will come.... If 10% of users have NPUs, then apps will find 'useful' ways to use them.

Part of it is actually battery life - if you assume that in the life of the laptop it will be doing AI tasks (unlikely currently) an NPU will be wayyyy more efficient than running it on a CPU, or even a GPU.

Mostly though, it's because it's an excuse to charge more for the laptop. If all the high end players add NPUs, then customers have no choice but to shell out more. Most customers won't realise that when they use chat got or copilot one one of these laptops, it's still not running on their device.

really? able to nest nultiple times etc?
