Anyone know how we would be able to continue these products? My understanding is that this charger is 100% controlled by an app. Are there open source alternatives?

When I worked in an office, most of my team was in other offices across the world. But we had to be in the office for that TEAM BUILDING

I scrubbed the video for the better part of 40 minutes. Here's the vibe. These points bounce off each other.

  1. AI everything. This is aimed at investors who don't know shit about games other than it has labor cost. Nothing novel was shown or discussed other than broad strokes of concepts which we already know about.

  2. Sponsors and Ads everywhere. To remind us it's EA

  3. Creating is bad business. EA wants:

  • to use AI, not artists
  • fleeting interactions, not deep experiences
  • sell platforms, not content
  • engage algorithmically

They aspire to do to games what TikTok/Reels/Yt shorts did for video. Make it as easy to make a "game" (AI slop) as shooting a phone video. Let the algorithm bubble up addictive crap and get eyeballs on screens. Ads everywhere. Pay extra to make Iron Man a character in your 2-minute "game"

This is a nightmare and I hope they fail

What?

Monetary devaluation is an economic policy Inflation is literally the "general increase in the prices of goods and services"

It's a bit involved to host the server but easier than most self-hosting services, in my opinion. Then there's the audio setup which I think is super easy for digital audio folk but may be a challenge for folks who haven't had to mess with digital audio much. The biggest thing people had problems with was turning off wifi and connecting via network cable. Reduced latency by leaps and bounds

Like I said, video was a separate device for my playing so it was kind of a non-issue. Mixing and production in OBS is way over my head.

I'm not sure if this solves your problem, but it's an opportunity to plug Jamulus . It's FOSS, and one of the best solutions if your target is uncompromising sound quality/latency. Unfortunately, it doesn't do video. I've jammed with a band on it and was very successful. Vide was on a phone or separate machine. When we performed, video was mixed by another user using OBS, and streamed on Zoom

This is a really useful writeup because it outlines a simpler installation. It seems like most people post when they have a very special or unique situation.

I've used and enjoyed Dbeaver CE. It's FOSS!

With added firmware/drivers for better hardware compatibility

For your use case, maybe consider Asahi Linux for your Mac and a minimized windows for your desktop for gaming?

Thats awesome that you got that working. I was hoping this would be possible the same way feeding a router a wireguard config is possible

Edit: I'm going to try this at some point in the next few months https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/interface_guide/tailscale/

Setting up Tailscale on a router is what I'm hoping to accomplish eventually. I want to use my home as an exit node so I can have my home ip while traveling without having a client on my traveling devices.
