Damn near 100%, yes

Yeah, I bet it would be trivial for one of their engineers to whip up a universally compatible, hardware accelerated image file converter in JS, using no external dependencies, and less than 50 lines of code. Hint: it uses Canvas

This is probably a clever way of doing native JPEG image conversion on the front end, instead of pulling in (or reimplementing) a universal image conversion library

Haha, I wondered if that was sarcasm. Looks like I’ve been fooled!

Hahaha, the Fediverse has very little tolerance for “wrong” opinions. As if opinions can even be wrong

Also, the obligatory: *dissenting (sorry)

Ah, it looks like it doesn’t support the AirPlay video format yet, so you wouldn’t be able to watch videos over it, except via the screen mirroring protocol, which is much lower quality for something like Netflix, FYI. Thanks for the link, though! Definitely adding this to my toolbox

Ohhhh, it’s an AirPlay server for Linux! That’s awesome!

Sort of a tangent, but I’m curious what advantage Uxplay has over the built in macOS AirPlay server. I’m unfamiliar with it

That is very true, but that doesn’t stop them from going after piracy to protect the revenue

You’re not stealing stuff, you’re stealing revenue. The missing revenue is what they care about. But they have plenty of that already, so they can get bent

I’m guessing they would not be interested in keeping Chrome under those conditions. Those are all things that give them leverage, which is the reason they need to split

How much would you prefer they made? Do you think the world would be a better place if they shut down their charity businesses?

Doesn’t seem like they’d offer the ability to scan an existing backup without touching your device, if that were the case

Remove the SIM card to ensure it doesn’t communicate with a cellular carrier. Then go into the settings for your specific WiFi network, configure IP address manually, and remove the entry for “Router” to prevent it from talking to the Internet

Sounds like you should buy a different thing. I bought one, though. None of this keyboard stuff matters to me, since I won’t even be using a keyboard with it

I think the special button on the keyboard is a fingerprint/lock button. Not sure if the computer supports powering on by pressing any key like the MacBooks, but it certainly will wake from sleep with any key. I don’t think you’re supposed to fully power it down as part of regular use, so they can get by with a less accessible power button

You can use your own keyboard with it

You jest, but we use Launch Darkly at work, and it’s the shit. Way better than our previous home grown solution. Everyone made the same joke at first, but the value is real

He’s right, though. They’re different characters, and they look different. The curved apostrophe looks much better, especially with larger fonts. I don’t use it in casual typing, but it’s important for official copy on the Web. You can use Option-Shift-] to type it without the alt code on a Mac

Seems like that would foil a plugin, but I think it would effectively kill video scrubbing, or simultaneous streams, depending on how that restriction was implemented. I still don’t see this working well for YouTube
