More googling, Shizuku² does this already in a polished way and exposes an API for other apps. Some related-ish apps are SAI³ (for installing split apks) and Canta⁴ (removing system apps).

EDIT: Even more googling, the whole setup already exists in Obtainium (i.e. F-Droid but with Github Releases) apparently so apps show up as being installed via Play Store and subsequently be usable in Android Auto⁵.

So hypothetically you can install stuff day one on a stock phone after this atrocity is turned on.

> Currently I think we have LG TVs > no ads even on the TVs.

Um, have you needed to change anything for your LG TVs to not display ads?

Asking because modern LG TVs seem to display ads too. :(

Saying that because I was recently looking for a TV, and considered LG, but many people seem to be having regrets now due to ads being shown.

I have a routine and the crazy part is that it is 100% effective, in that I can be restless, consciously start the routine, and 100% of the time I fall asleep. It is the oddest feeling to begin the routine, which requires conscious mental effort, and suddenly you can't remember anything because you fell asleep. I can only ever recall doing it at times when my mind is racing, so I can't say how well it works when calm as I forget to do the routine when calm.

The routine is basically a game to see if you can "flow" between mental images by envisioning scenes in your mind and then allowing some object in the scene to "pull" you into a different scene. For example, envision the power cable of your lamp, you fly along the power cable up to the light bulb, and then you envision the bulb glass exploding into a million pieces, which becomes snow falling on a ski lodge, you see the warm glow of fire in the fireplace, and a fireball blasts out the chimney into the sky, somehow becomes a perfect flaming sphere, that becomes a meatball and falls into a plate of spaghetti, you are eating it down, you see yourself at a ratty diner table, under the table you see your shoes, and then your shoes are running through rain puddles, you zoom into a single droplet which is actually a massive aquarium tank, fish are swimming in it except we are in the ocean, not a tank, and the fish is so colorful but those colors are actually an explosion of rainbow paint colors dripping down an apartment wall, etc. etc.

It might sound ridiculous when written in words, but that is the gist of it. The game is to lay there and consciously morph and fly between mental images, letting your mind conjure imagery that comes next.

It's crazy because I start doing this with a conscious struggle to envision the next chain-of-events but suddenly my brain catches on and starts unconsciously playing the game and images just kinda flow and BAM asleep.

The Flock camera(s) in question are not doorbell cameras, and Flock Safety is not only outside the doorbell camera product category but very specifically trying to differentiate themselves inside of the AI-enabled dragnet persistent surveillance product category. Given the potential civil rights implications of Flock, I feel it’s exceptionally reasonable to be calling it out in this context. I would suggest reading the full article and googling the positive and negative coverage of the company

In my case (although I have not yet flown with APP3) the ANC works great, however, transparency mode (and adaptive mode) have issue with a noise. In a silent room I hear quiet noise in transparency mode (not present in ANC nor in "Off") which wasn't present in APP1. I tried different tips

Also, transparency mode felt more "natural" in APP1 in comparison to APP3. Currently it feels like a downgrade from APP1 (unfortunately my pair of APP1 broke recently), because I used transparency a lot and it feels worse

My parents are moving out of their house of ~50 years.

The garage fridge was in the house (as the kitchen one) when they moved in. The chest freezer in the basement moved with them in '77.

They have had at least three kitchen fridges in the time since the fridge got moved to the garage. I've lost track of the number of dishwashers. The current one was out of service for a few months, partially due to wifi/firmware issues. The super expensive oven clock doesn't work anymore, since it broke after the last time it was fixed for an $800 callout.

I don't really know what to say except that you're wrong here. There are many studies out there about loading time affecting conversions/sales. I link to the most recent study done by Speed Curve about the damage slow loading apps do to business metrics.

Why do you address us as if we collectively went down to the town center and three dozen times in a row and decided on the same thing by consensus? For most of us this was shoved down our throats by sheer force of violence. And why always this oh shucks apologia about the “business model” that they are supposedly forced to adapt? No, this fridge already costs a lot of money. The ads don’t have to be recouping losses. They could just be for more profit.

Some cursory clicking about didn't reveal to me the actual corpus they used, only that it is several trillion tokens 'divided across the languages'. I'm curious mainly because Irish (among some other similarly endangered languages on the list) typically has any large corpus come from legal/governmental texts that are required to be translated. There must surely be only a relatively tiny amount of colloquial Irish in the corpus. It be interesting to see some evals in each language particularly with native speakers.

I think LLMs may be on the whole very positive for endangered languages such as Irish, but before it becomes positive I think there's an amount of danger to be navigated (see Scots Gaelic wikipedia drama for example)

In any case I think this is a great initiative.

Is that really autism? Imagine if you were in that bot's situation. You are given a task. You try to do it, you fail. You are given the same task again with exact same wording. You try to do it, again you fail. And that in loops, with no "action" that you can run by yourself to escape it. For how long will you stay calm?

Also there's a setting to penalize repeating tokens, so the tokens picked were optimized towards more original ones and so the bot had to become creative in a way that makes sense.

I see the article's title as "Trump administration moves to overrule state laws protecting credit reports from medical debt".

I think it's important to assign an actor to the deleterious actions reported. It's important to write that Trump is doing this, not "Congress" or "Democrats" or "Republicans" or the US government or even "bipartisan". If Trump wants to do things by decree, he should also get and take responsibility.

> Atgbics SFP+s have been a reliable clone supplier for us.

With the caveat that I'm a USian and my scale is even lower than yours (10 10gbit SFP+ modules in my apartment combination home, office, and lab, running trouble-free for the past three years) I've found 10Gtek to be a reliable supplier. You can order 10gbit SFP+ modules straight from them for 14USD per per module. Though, shipping costs straight from them is currently pretty terrible: $35 if you're spending less than $800.

Stores like Newegg will often meet or beat that per-module price and offer free shipping if you buy a bundle of four or more... but modules with the personality you want may not be in stock.

Ericsson is swedish Samsung is south korean I can agree that Huawei is chinese so that's a bad choice

But why is Ericsson(swedish), Samsung(south korean) not considered made in US in the sense that atleast south korea has strong relations with america iirc and also I just recently checked and it seems that sweden has also become a part of nato. So some of these can be just as good.

Although I still agree that Nokia might be important in general but I just wanted to point/question it out I suppose.

Sure, you would test-install apps via any delivery method of your choice, including USB-C cable or WiFi, after Google attests that your test-app signature is whitelised[0]. After all, there is no legitimate reason[1] to not sign your app, since you want it to closely match the distributed version as much as possible, and there won't exist unsigned distributable apps.

0. Developer has valid signatures and in Google's good graces, and application hasn't been installed on more than 16 devices

1. Oh, you CI/CD signing infra won't let you? You better fix your workflows to match the Google way.

> a step so bold for an OS that even MSFT never even dared try in its worst Windows monopoly days

I don't think it's like "MSFT didn't dare to try", but rather "MSFT was too stupid to come up with the idea". They didn't have the ability to manage it either (and till this day their Windows Store app still sucks with tons of bugs). Not to mention that Windows was already wide open, never with a restriction "you can only install these approved apps" to begin with.

Basically, not that Microsoft didn't do it, but it couldn't.

Actually it took me almost an hour to re-do a portion of the research and lay it out, which I did further down the thread, if you care to look.

Also you didn't ask me to link you to my sources, you asked me what my sources were. I answered your question directly in the best way I could at the time.

Expecting an internet stranger to spend an hour digging up sources for you, when you don't ask respectfully or with any inclination of curiosity comes off as combative - I am not here to debate, I am here to discuss. If you are genuinely curious, take 30 seconds to scroll down and find the other comment I made that took me an hour to put together.

Im very open to a bit of a learning curve! I wasn’t able to get a pre commit of ‘tofu fmt -check’ with the list of tf files changed working, which was frustrating! I found working with pkl tough as there’s little/no editor support (compared to writing tasks in toml with mise). I tried adding a post install hook to mise to run hk install which had surprising side effects!

I’m looking forward to trying fnox!

chmod to dequarantine doesn't sound like "a little friction" to me.

On your point about security, this kind of aggressivity from the platform owner tend to backfire.

The user was already convinced to open that mail, download that file, and try to run it. Pushing the process to the terminal just means your clueless users now run the provided incantations in the shell instead, and the attack vector now becomes huge (the initial program doesn't even need to be malware)

> That's a complete statement that nobody is even advocating for. We already have the enforcement mechanisms in place.

> Just because a law is violated doesn't mean that we get rid of the entire scheme and try something else. Theft does not mean that we need to get rid of property rights, and theft doesn't mean that we need to stop people from seeking material goods.

> Perhaps there should be better enforcement mechanisms, but I'm sure that all the DEI advocates would be all ears, because the illegal violations of the law are not what DEI advocates want, precisely because it leads to backlashes in addition to being counter to the explicit goals of all DEI advocates I have ever heard.

My point is just that it seems to be a real problem worth discussion and consideration, not just something made up for concern trolling. Whenever you have potential incentives to violate the law, there is reason to be somewhat concerned. It doesn't always manifest, but sometimes it does.

(P.S.: It is true that nobody is advocating for illegal hiring practices, at least not in good faith. Still, disregarding the apparent connection between DEI initiatives and illegal hiring practices they can incentivize just terminates the discussion.)

> police response and enforcement are so harsh for gun crime it isnt worth it

That's the key right there. USA enforcement is far less than what it needs to be, especially in (dare I say it) Democrat-controlled local districts.

The number of soft-on-crime DAs elected has increased significantly in the last 30 years, and the fraction of violent crime cases that are left unsolved has also increased significantly.

It's gotten so bad that a lot of conspiracy theories are circulating, like "Davos people want to destabilize the US, so George Soros is donating millions through his Open Foundation to soft-on-crime DA local election campaigns."

That's 4% of corporate employees going by Reuter's 350k corp employee count[0]. Sounds well within the trimming-the-fat numbers. The rest of your comment alludes to an obligation towards improving the domestic economy. That can be done through regulation, but then there's a balancing act between under/over regulation. Too much and you end up in an EU situation that hinders small tech business growth.

So we come back to my previous statement/question. Above what profit amount should a company be obligated to keep (in their eyes) unproductive workers?

There's been a concerted effort by smartphone manufacturers to demonize side loading explicitly for some time now. This is actually about code signing rather than sideloading, so it's kind of funny that we have this sub thread that's explicitly about the term sideloading, but regardless, that term has been demonized by Apple.

> the intended experience is that you get apps from the play/app store

Once again, this is the point.

> it doesn't imply you oppose the freedom to run whatever code you want

But it does.

Let's first look at what's good about "intended experience" & possible legitimate reasons to have a differentiation between "vendor-approved" 3rd-party apps & non-"vendor-approved" 3rd-party apps.

The connotation of an "intended experience" is that the experience is supported by the OS vendor. If you have issues with your experience, these are issues that can be reported & the OS vendor will endeavor to fix. Leaving aside the fact that Google has no user support to speak of, even if they did, this isn't something they would every offer for 3rd-party Play Store apps regardless. So 3rd-party Play Store apps are not doing anything for users to provide them with an "intended experience" that isn't equally available sideloading.

The only other legitimate reason to have a differentiation would be to ensure the user doesn't install malware. Play Protect currently does this with sideloaded apps, so once again there is no difference in the "intended experience" from the user's perspective.

If there are no legitimate reasons to differentiate the experiences, the only reasonable conclusion remaining is that they're differentiates to dissuade user freedom.

All well and true if all you have to do is process the data programmatically.

And yet, as I said, if the same thinking gets applied to e.g. a store of JSON documents (like ELK), chances are good the thing will ruin the UX for countless people who have to deal with the result. Note that you need exactly no hash maps to store the JSON as it is text.

To expand your analogy: …and yet roads are built so that you can drive your regular car or a box car over them, depending on your use case. You make the choice. A JSON library that doesn't afford such choices (and isn't hyper focused on performance) isn't a good one in my book.

Edit: As a sidenote: Or do you mean a freight train wagon? Then replace "road" with "rails" and "car" with "draisine" :)

I’ve also had this sound on my 3s, but only when handling them before putting them in my ears. I’d say it’s happened at least 10-15 times, and every time I’ve thought it’s so loud it’d do damage if it was in my ears.

Anecdotally I’ve done four 11+ hour flights with them so far and they’ve been super solid on the plane - no issues there.

Show HN: Turn Videos to Sandbox Game Like Experience
by bd2025 | 2025-10-28 22:30:50+00:00
Hi HN, We’ve been building something new at MemeGen AI : an AI-native interactive video platform that turns any video into a sandbox where viewers can participate in the content itself.

Instead of passively watching, users can play inside the video — triggering reactions, remixing actions, or changing outcomes in real time. Every interaction branches into new videos, forming an evolving web of playful, user-generated moments.

Why we’re doing this Most video platforms today are one-way performances: a small fraction of people create, and everyone else just scrolls. We think video should be participatory. Humans connect more deeply through shared play than passive watching.

How it works (simplified)

Videos are generated with embedded “interactive anchors” (e.g., tap to throw, react, change camera view).

Each user action runs through our lightweight AI engine, generating the next clip instantly.

All results are linkable and remixable, forming a chain of interactions — like multiplayer storytelling.

Why it’s interesting

Transforms short-form video into a medium of play, not performance

Enables true co-creation and branching video networks

Fully runs in the browser — no downloads, no prompt-writing, just click and go

We’d love feedback from builders and creators here — especially on interaction mechanics, UX simplicity, and technical scalability.

Try it here: https://meme-gen.ai

As the other comment said, it's basically Libreoffice Calc, so try installing that on your laptop and see if you can get used to it.

My opinion: not as polished as Google Sheets, but good enough. However it's much better than the web version of excel.

Also, your experience will depend on the server your using to run it. Lots of people try to run Nextcloud on very weak hardware to save costs, and it does run well. But office in particular needs a bit more compute and memory to feel fast.

Because it can be dangerous if misused.

It's a steroid, so body builders would use it constantly. It's a sex hormone, so people would use it to masculinize themselves and amp up their sex drive, and it's part of the pubertal cycle so children exposed to it pre-puberty can have masculinizing pubertal side effects before their actual puberty starts.

In case you don't own a Steam Deck and would like to see how much of your library would run on Linux:

1. Go to your library

2. Click the filter button

3. Under "hardware support" you'll see a dropdown "Steam Deck" with 4 options, here's some explanation what they mean:

Verified - Means this game 100% works on Linux (and Deck), which is verified by Valve

Playable - Means this game works on Linux (and Deck) but it might have some tiny issues (e.g. font size)

Untested - Might work, but not tested

So to check if your games would run pretty nicely either filter on "Verified" games or "Verified or playable" games and it filters out everything which will or might not run at all.

You'll be surprised how much games can run on Linux these days -- thanks to the massive effort Valve puts in Proton and some devs (including Valve) publishing native Linux builds of their games on Steam, and even things you might not even consider at all like Skyrim or Oblivion with all your favorite mods (!)

Have you never worked with Intel NICs?

The two X520s that I have will refuse to work with non-Intel transceivers unless either you're running Linux and have set the 'allow_unsupported_sfp' option, or have edited the card's EEPROM to unset the "shut down unless the transceiver is a Genuine Intel part" bit. It's my understanding that very many Intel NICs are like this.

I remember [0] the Juniper switches that I used to have (before I switched to Mikrotik) refusing to work with anything other than Official Juniper transceivers.

I'm not sure it works that way. _In general_ before the recent announcement you are supposed to sign the debug build (what you feed into adb to install) with your debug key that's different from the release nor upload key, and the debug key is never submitted to google.

Of course _maybe_ at some point google will also force you to submit your debug key to them. But I don't believe that's the case now.

> my steam library as a 32-bit mac binaries. I don't know a way to launch them at any reasonable speed.

To be fair, it's the emulation of x86-32 with the new ARM64 architecture that causes the speed problems. That transition is also why MacBooks are the best portables, in terms of efficiency, that you can buy right now.

All ARM chips have crippled x86-32 performance, because they're not x86-32 chips. You'll find the same (generally worse) performance issues trying to run ARM64 code with x86-64.
