The problem is that Google makes it hard to go all-in on their products even when you want to.

I was an early user for Google Apps for Your Domain, which was a free version of what is now Google Workspace that you could use with custom domains. I signed up for Google Play Music with that account.

Then they introduced Google Family, with app sharing and a family plan for Google Play Music, but you couldn't use Google Workspace accounts as part of a family plan. So I went back to using a regular Gmail account, manually moving my playlists for Google Play Music, and repurchasing the handful of apps I wanted to be able to share with my kids.

Google bought Fitbit, and we got some Fitbit Ace watches for our kids. Then Google decided that Fitbit accounts needed to be converted to Google accounts, but the kids can't use their watches with their Android tablets anymore, because the Fitbit app won't let you log in to use your Ace (the kid watch) with a child account from a Google family. The watch designed for kids doesn't work with the account management designed for kids. My wife's Fitbit died and she was ready to buy the newer version of it, except that one doesn't work with the Fitbit app store because (presumably) they want people to buy the more expensive Pixel watches and use that completely separate app library.

Somewhere in there I had to switch my playlists from Google Play Music to YouTube Music. They also decided to start charging for the free Google Workspace plans, eventually relenting only if you solemnly promised it was only for personal use.

I'm the kind of person who should be a loyal Google customer, but I've been burned enough that my immediate response to a new Google product is to wonder what I would do if it suddenly disappeared.

I still do this all the time from my desktop PC with Chrome. As far as I'm aware you can cast any tab, or even your whole desktop.
but the new brand is actually "Google TV Streamer" (3 words)

why didnt they just go for "Google TV" (2 words)

they also could have played a bit "Google TOP" (because its a table top device) , "Google S" (S for Streamer) , i think the 3 word "Google TV Streamer" , is function over form gone wrong
We can watch it for you wholesale?
The form factor and what it did felt just right. Rest in peace.
Isn't the real problem astroturfing, shilling, brigading, being a government agent, and the like?

The person who posted the big wall of text that seems plausible superficially said a bunch of really dumb or dishonest things. At best they're disingenuous, they're doing things like averaging advancements per day, in some places lines literally aren't moving and others people are advancing unopposed, averaging some things is fundamentally dishonest or a fundamental misunderstanding. There are other issues with their comment, but these are all the kinds of mistakes and an informed person participating in honest discourse doesn't make.

People arguing in bad faith need to be called out not tolerated.

Do you have any examples or types of query of where a free search engine produces better results?

I tried to Google for it, but maybe expectedly, that doesn’t bring up any good examples.

I think free has the be table-stakes for the default search engine, because otherwise you are forcing all users to change or buy a license, so any paid alternatives are out.

Disclaimer: Work at Google; not on search-related things, opinions my own.
I'm not sure what's special here.
The company makes the source available, but doesn't accept changes from the community.
If the community really hates what the company does with the product, it can fork it.
If the company goes out of business, the license reverts to a standard OSI-approved one.
Unless I'm missing something – entirely possible – this doesn't sound like anything new and different.

Well, better than Doesn't Matter Cast.
The thing is that it's both. It does put in perspective the western narrative that's being pushed because in order to make the necessary support for Ukraine appear as a better deal that it is but also jumps to conclusion when it says Russia will win, this is delusional. The best Russia will achieve is to get Donbass and Luhansk and it's hard to see if that's worth all the lives and money wasted into this stupid war.
Branded website is here[1].

Maybe it's because it's new, but the website doesn't offer a ton of insight into how "Fair Source" is different from other attempts to re-brand proprietary software as pseudo-open-source. For example, the FSS definition on the home page mentions "minimal restrictions," but I can't find a clear list of what those restrictions are in the FAQ[2].

(And to be clear: I'm not an ideologue around FOSS/OSS; I think source availability also benefits the commons. But I would not be surprised if FOSS/OSS people chafe at these kinds of implied-value-judgment labelings ("fair source," "commons clause") for what is fundamentally not OSS.)

The drone weighs a few hundred grams and carries nothing. The moment you look at anything close to a carrying capacity of 50kg, you are well beyond the $20k range.
There are more expensive ways, but the world's population – even the moderately rich segment of that population – cry that they can barely afford the food as-is. Feeding the world's population requires more than the capability to produce food.
I tried to upvote both of you to keep this civil.. I think there are important points to consider on both sides -- and I find this repartee between you and A_D_E_P_T most informed!

it might take some time to reconcile your points though, some moderate data might help, what do I know, being peripheral to drug-development..

What's the point of having different ssh key per server?

You are .pub is meant to be shared; even publicly. It's fine to have one ssh key for everything. It's also hard to think about a scenario where one ssh key in your machine is compromised, but not the others.

Preparing for the inevitable… How is Chromium/whatever-leading-less-Google-in-the—loop browser? Will it run ublock or is that on borrowed time with the manifest initiative they are pushing? Are they actually free of Google telemetry or is it all too deeply embedded to escape?
BS. Though a RPG could travel 1km (not sure), I know for sure that an effective RPG range is 300-400 m, after which accuracy degrades substantially.

And even if you try walking up the fiber cables (if you manage to spot them), you will become a target yourself much earlier than you manage to locate the origin of the fiber, i.e. the drone crew.

So, that wouldn't work.

So you're saying artillery shells would be cheaper if I could get them on Amazon Prime with free same day delivery?
Confused as to why "Google TV" didn't win out in the end. Seems like the obvious choice. Is it boring? Sure.

Does it immediately tell you absolutely everything you likely need to know if you're not already buying an Apple TV? Yes.
Fair point, but I had in mind the particular flavor of short-term thinking that we see post-2010.

We had a couple decades, prior to that, when there was a business trend to be 'customer focused' which closely relates to long-term thinking: win good-will from your customers, from your suppliers, from your community... even from your competitors.

To whatever extent the customer-focus trend managed to saturate, it seems to have died with the success of FA*NG companies around 15 years ago.

Why bother making products that last when Apple makes billions with irreparable devices?

Why bother providing stellar customer service when Google hardly bothers to provide any customer service?

Why care about high quality design and materials when when Amazon just sells cheap knockoffs made from wax and scotch tape?

Why even be lawful, when Facebook can snow the public and regulators and not wind up in jail?

Short-term thinking has plagued various areas of life forever, certainly, but this FA*NG-era death of customer focus is why I feel things are particularly bad now.
I'll echo what other people are saying, that you should just not connect the smart tv to your wifi, but I am nervous about smart TVs that ship with cell chips to connect to the manufacturer's servers when people don't hook the device up to wifi.

I'm not sure how to determine which models do or don't ship with cell chips.
> Monitoring container_memory_working_set_bytes still makes sense since it is the metric that kublet uses to kill the pod when it exceeds the limits.

This is not a great way to describe it. When a container is out of memory then the kernel ends it, and the kubelet is not involved. This is the main way that most users will experience OOM conditions. Note that it is not possible for RSS to exceed limit, because the task will end the instant it tries to realize memory that would have put it over the limit.

When the node is under total memory pressure then the kubelet uses working set to rank pods for eviction. Working set is used for that in an attempt to attribute kernel resources like page caches to each control group. But eviction due to node memory pressure should be rare.
I also picked up an onn device recently. It's a remarkably capable device, well worth the $20.
These anecdotes aren’t unique to a city like SF though. I can find similar stories in my relatively small but dense suburb. The statistics just do not back up the claims that SF is uniquely dangerous or has worse problems than anywhere else of that size/density.
I've got an Iiyama 42" monitor running as a TV for AppleTV and an Xbox. Panel quality is a bit meh, I think it's some sort of weird 2k/4k thing done for dynamic range. It's a signage one, rather than a strict monitor, so there's a little bit of firmware, and I could put rotating pics on it using a usb key, but I'm using the apple-tv for it. No RF (which is good, means I don't have to pay for a tv license that I woudln't used), and 2 hdmi inputs.
The "Chromecast with Google TV" main upgrade for my use case (watching YouTube) was to introduce longer ads. For that reason I've lost faith in this product line and this rebranding (and price increase) guarantees I won't be getting one of these.
Chromecast used to be a great product. I had my gen 1 Chromecast for the last 10 years until recently when it got fried by this piece of crap TV I plugged it into.

It was exactly what I want in a device: Do one thing and do it well.

I decided to replace it with a new "Chromecast" device to find out that it bears next to no resemblance to the original. Today's Chromecasts are just wannabe Roku devices with actual casting being relegated to the status of unwanted stepchild. It forces you to sign in to a Google account, which the original did not force you to do. The original was a small stick that could be powered by the USB coming from the TV itself, whereas the new one is a larger white puck that needs a wall wort and can't be powered by a regular (non-C) USB connection. My final disappointment was that VLC fails to cast to it, even though it worked perfectly with the original.

All I want is a way to cast any video I want to my TV. This is apparently a huge ask in 2024. I looked up alternative devices on Amazon and they all seem inferior or have deal breakers like trying to Do Everything(TM), not supporting 4K, using some weird protocol, requiring a login, etc.
> What's the point of having different ssh key per server?

Identity protection perhaps. A public key could reveal that the same person is accesing two or more servers. Different keys per server hide that information.
I don’t think they’ve kept all the crazies in check. Most pain and anxiety “medicines” are harmful. People are dying today due to drugs the FDA has deemed safe.
This won't lead to the Streisand effect, not at all...
Sure, but given that the half that dropped out would be unlikely to be in remission, the bar is pretty low.

These types of studies are thought. Life style is a huge driver of T2, but food is also a massive outlet for a lot of people.

That seems to be where the GLP-1 drugs really work miracles. They pretty much eliminate the need for people to use food as an outlet.
I suspect it's to exclude a denominator of 0.
This is still an essential guidebook in so many ways.

Here's one:

>Many classes of circuits are neither entirely analog nor entirely digital.

>when problems develop in circuits containing both analog and digital elements, finding a solution is more likely to require that you summon your analog expertise than your digital knowledge.

>Digital ICs have more than a few analog subtleties. And even multiplexers, which you may have thought of as purely analog, have some quirks that result from their close association with the digital world.
That’s what happens when you always get too fancy with names. Chromecast, duo, wave, plus, Stadia, all sht names. Keep it simple like messages, [company name] TV, cloud = win
I don't see Kibutz as socialist or communist even if some ideas are similar. As I wrote the scale is very different. Kibutz is communal, like a large family. You can't have transactional relationships with family members. Also, you are not forced to be a part of it, you can leave any time. So if I compare it to a communist farm like Kolhoz where the former serfs still were enslaved by the government. So there is a certain difference in the personality of someone who lived and worked in Kolhoz (alienation) and Kibutz (open and not competitive/selfish). I'm saying this as someone who had family members in Kolhoz and knew a lot of Kibutz-born people and also worked in Kibutz(which was privatized).

Of course, I'm also generalizing a lot.
Suing your advertisers is a good way to attract more advertisers...
I wanted to make a joke about it possibly being Chromecast has no LLM. Then I realized the replacement product advertises Gemini.
Yeah that's just an awful name, could've just gone with a streamlined version of what they have, e.g. "Google Cast".
Nothing is too expensive when the alternative is death.

We'll see it again as soon as two super powers are engaged in an active shooting war.

You're clearly underestimating the 2021 SoC in it. It does 20 GFLOPS!
It's great for people to advertise porn and sexual services. It's not very great at monetising them. Most of it is just teasers for OnlyFans et al and more personal services.

I wouldn't really go on Twitter for that.
Oh, of course. My reply wasn't intended as a challenge. I'm just enthusiastic. It's one of my favorite "bad" games.
ebay another one?
Chromecast is a terrible brand. It immediately confuses the customer. Why does my Chromecast not have Chrome on it? Who thought of that?
Too bad, the Google TV Streamer seems to be targeting a higher price and performance (not gonna say no to that..), which the Chromecast did a decent job at a relatively low cost, and made some low-end "smart TV" usable with a quick drop-in replacement.

Hopefully they'll try to reach back that low-end market in some way.

I did meal replacements for a while. Not a weight issue, but I was having major GI issues. They were a way for me to pretty easily control exactly what I ate in basically any circumstance.

I ended up getting tired of always drinking a shake. It just doesn’t hit the same way as real food.

This is interesting and very cool news but the writer ruins it with some weird self-aggrandizing and a baffling comparison of himself to Warhol.

"The digital images Andy Warhol created are rudimentary by today’s standards, and in some ways, perhaps less ambitious then some of the thumbnails I create for my blog posts. But this was 39 years ago, and I have much better tools than he did."

Is this trolling? lol
If you think you need a job, you’re wrong.
I think I am going to stock up some chromecasts with google tv 4K, reasons:
- they are going to be lower price than before
- which will make new streamer to be 3x price
- they are losing the dongle feat which is amazing, zero footprint
- smart home features, sorry, they are a scam
- core functionalities are the same, 4k, dolby atmos/vision
- its a streamer, don't need 32gb of rom
- don't need AI, another scam

I honestly don't see the point on upgrading or even buying over prev. version
Aww man, this sucks. I had mine connected to a google photos album. I loved that feature.
Why is this shocking?

Fear, greed, hope, etc. are found in all things built by humans.
If you're boycotting an ad platform, you aren't their advertiser anymore.
Any idea whether it has access to the play store or apks can be sideloaded? The heavy AI integration makes me nervous it won't be the case.

It annoying no longer is behind the TV, just copying Apple (an irritating but effective marketing ploy).
They are gaining ground, that’s an indisputable fact.

Current western position is that they don’t want Russia to win, but also don’t want to provide the level of support that would stop Russia - for example take 1,000 Abram’s tanks out of storage and give them to Ukraine. Obviously this is hypocrisy.

We are on the road to failure, and yet here you are, accusing anyone that point out the obvious of working for the enemy. Deaf to feedback and in denial of reality.

That’s how you get giant failures like Afghanistan and Vietnam.
But why are the homeless "advocates" such a force? Don't the rest of the people living and voting in the city outnumber them by multiple orders of magnitude?
Reads like some misguided attempt at improving security.

Maybe OP also moves private keys around and doesn't know private key ideally should never leave single machine and if you setup new laptop to connect to your servers one should generate new private key and upload new pub key and for backup ideally one should have spare laptop already set with keys.
As someone who ran their plex server on the shield for a year, don't plan on keeping it there if you want get serious with it and/or want to open up it up to external users. As your library grows, it will start to struggle and I had to rebuild my library two or three times.

A $100 SFF or micro computer off ebay with an 8th+ gen intel cpu will serve as a much better plex server, with plenty of room for other things like HomeAssistant etc. The iGPU will do 15-20+ simultaneous 1080p transcodes, and my machine idles at around 10w. The shield can serve up 1 or 2.

The shield pro is hard to beat as a plex client, though.

Yeah, I think you misunderstood the situation :) - Japan raised their rate from 0% to 0.25% and cut back their bond purchases in a move to strengthen the yen, at the same time the dollar got weaker. The Nikkei tumbled because many large companies in Japan - 1) had carry trade positions they had to unwind, and/or 2) export to the US (harder when dollar is weak vs yen and harder if the US enters recession).
Extremely tangential, but what does something like Illumos/Solaris buy you in 2024 over something like FreeBSD or Linux?

This isn't some passive aggressive gotcha, I'm actually curious what people prefer about the Solaris distros nowadays. I know Zones and ZFS are cool, but FreeBSD supports Jails and ZFS out of the box, but maybe there are cool features I'm not aware of.
> The decision was either to avoid them entirely or resign and buy into the ecosystem.

An easy choice that you somehow managed to get wrong?
So, since I'm an unrepentant cynic, I guess it's now, like 1.5 months until the inevitable "Sentry: it has been an interesting journey" blog post?

Anyway, so, I tried Sentry at some point, like, five years ago. Signed up for the 'team' plan, even though it's just lonely me, and had bugs coming in for about... a week, maybe less? Then, my subscription suddenly became inactive, because I had exceeded the 10K (or so, at the time) bugs that they were willing to track for me. Not, unique bugs, mind you, just the same bug that the same automated process was hitting every second or so.

But still, I now had to either negotiate an "Enterprise" price plan, or go away elsewhere. And I did actually ping them about the former, but never got a response. So, well, back to manually reading logs like an animal it is, then, I guess?

TL;DR: If your vision is to solve a certain problem, aren't the oh-we-didn't-see-that-coming corner cases the most interesting?
It’s extremely hard if your body isn’t used to it. It took me nearly 2 years to adjust my body’s response to being hungry.

In the past, I’d get shaky and crabby if I didn’t eat every 2 to 3 hours. Now, I can basically go all day without eating. I frequently feel much better on the days that I don’t end up eating until nearly dinner time.
