I am not saying you can or you can’t, but if you could, and I’m not saying you can, I would have full DRM-free backups of every Blu-ray I own.

Fun thing, even a DVD or Blu-ray is technically licensed by them, and they claim they have the right to revoke it whenever they want. In the case of Blu-ray they have tried to do this via “updates” to the Blu-ray players

What other image format supports HDR and modern compression algorithms that don’t require a license?

There, ftfy. You answer the question.

I literally said it was easy to do.

Yeah it’s a bit of a tossup between them. Apple definitely chose it to be a dick. However, Microsoft could rectify it easily if they wanted to.

Both HEVC and HEIC thought cost money, and the vast majority of windows users will never use the codecs. Including the license with every copy of Windows is added cost to the end user that they receive no benefit from, so I understand why they would leave it out. HEVC prompts you if you try to play to go to the store and buy the license, which is good for your entire account. Honestly it’s not a terrible thing to do. I was one of the 1% of people who would play HEVC natively on Windows, so yeah the $3 license made sense

Oh my friend, let me introduce you to Batocera

The surface is one of my go-to examples of Microsoft’s ineptitude. The surface is honestly an amazing tablet. It works very well, great battery life, and you can either use a standard tablet mode or it as a full Windows machine. For businesses too it was a slam-dunk, where since it’s Windows it already interfaces with most IT systems out of the box, no special setup or store integrations or Apple stuff, it’d work with Microsoft AD. Unfortunately it followed the pattern.

• They gave up on tablets before fully vetting the market
• Apple lands the iPad, and it takes off, is groundbreaking
• Microsoft got butthurt that Apple made profit on a thing they gave up on
• They take years coming up with the Surface, in the meantime every 3rd party came out with an Android one that was slow and choppy so the people have all decided iPad was the winner
• Microsoft hired thousands of engineers and pivoted the entire world to touch, forcing Windows 8 down everyone’s throats, making the public hate it
• Surface finally lands, but everyone already hates the interface, and anyone who wants a tablet already has one
• Microsoft quietly lays off everyone. Surface is still around, but on life support.

Microsoft following the same pattern.

• There is a need in the market they are aware of, but don’t care
• Someone else makes a huge splash by doing a great job
• Microsoft gets butthurt that someone else is making profit
• They take way too long coming up with a rival
• Microsoft hires thousands of engineers to work on the product
• The rival is way too late to market, and everyone has already chosen the cool product
• Microsoft quietly lays people off and kills off the product

oh freaking awesome, this looks amazing! Thank you so much for this!

TES6 isn’t real. It isn’t real. Do you see it? Is it in the room with us here?

Compare it to a game like AC Valhalla and you’ll think it’s smaller

God of war and Jedi have done great jobs of finally showing AAA they can make a smaller game and still have a great following. I’m so sick of giant Ubisoft worlds that have nothing to do in them. They’re boring.

For most of you suggesting hosting a repository - yes but,

Host forgejo. Just host the git mirror. It comes with a package repo out of the box. Then you have the source code and the docker images

Generally there are not LLMs that do this, but you start building up a workflow. You speak, one service reads in the audio and translates it to text. Then you feed that into an LLM, it responds in text, and you have another service translate that into audio.

Home Assistant is the easiest way to get them all put together.

Edit agree with others below. Use the apps that are made for it.

• Whisper for STT
• Any hosted LLM can work, text-generation-webui or tabbyapi
• I use xttsv2 for TTS

This post is written as if there’s only one “community”. Why does there need to be a primary? I’m here and I’m happy. If I have questions I search online or ask here, same as any other community

Seconded with Matrix. All I’m wanting for it is for someone to make a Discord/Revolt UI frontend for Matrix 2.0 and it’ll be a drop in replacement

That is weird, so you’ve tried the exact same setup with a different TV and it worked?

I wonder if it’s the resolution, or maybe HDR settings? What is different about the other TV if it works there? 1080p only? I’m just spitballing trying to get gears moving

That’s what I’ve come around to. It’s not him. He’s a figurehead that we apply blame but it’s not. It’s the people - the public. They want this. They have the fear and the hate, they actively want it. If America didn’t want him, they wouldn’t have voted him in. Even with tampering/whatever, if America didn’t, he wouldn’t be there. But America does want him, and that’s a very sobering and sad thought to me. I try to live with a simple code - do what you want, as long as it doesn’t hurt others. I learned yesterday that most American’s don’t have similar values.

Oh yeah, critical component. And vram, in fact I would only consider LLMs on a 3000+ card right now, they require quite a bit of vram

I’ve changed man, since then. I don’t know how I feel about the Democrats, but I’m devastated over who voted Republican. So many people in this country voted for him. It wasn’t just we had low turnout, but also just that he had so much. That’s the disheartening thing for me, that still, with everything we know, he still carries 50% of this country easily. So yeah, we had too few, but worse, he has too many.
