This looks like one of those low cost netbooks from the time where “EPad” and “MID” tablets were a thing. There is an edition of Windows CE floating around for these - but WiFi will not work, neither the modem if this has one built in.

No idea about Linux - there is a kernel so you’re technically half way there, but considering most of these had a slow single core ARM CPU and 256MB of RAM on a good day, practical use is limited IMO

Yepp MK8D, with update 3.0.1 and the booster course pass DLC.

IIRC as long as the host player has the DLC, all other players can play on the DLC maps in the online session

I have MK8 running in an emulator on my Deck with almost all DLCs. Online used to work using local LAN multiplayer (the emulator would redirect the LAN lobby to a server on the web). For multiplayer to work, all players must have the exact same version of MK8 running in their emulator.

Since the emulator’s development was shut down by a certain company, online multiplayer functionality needs some config changes to carry on working, and the lobbies are nowhere near as full as they used to be…

Edit: IIRC, there is a button you must hold while on the MK8 menu to enter local LAN mode

IIRC Beehaw doesn’t federate downvotes. The OP has been pretty heavily downvoted for no valid reason

I’ve tried both on my low powered HTPC and came to the same conclusion - especially noticeable where video acceleration is concerned

Something about that channel feels “off”, don’t know what it is. Maybe all the rants and abundance of negative opinions?? Perhaps it’s the culture difference in how he communicates on camera?

The only positive videos I’ve seen are him moving to macOS, the dell laptop one, and i guess the keyboard one, the other ones seem to be mostly opinion pieces & rants. There are other channels that do a better, more balanced job of this I think

Explains why I was having issues with this in Gnome on my HTPC…

Ended up making a remote button shortcut to maximise and restore apps

I used to have only 4GB in my old Linux HTPC, didn’t take much for it to choke when using the browser. Upgraded to 16GB and no issues since

Absolutely love the ability to share links from my android and have them open automagically on my linux HTPC. Also made a command shortcut for my laptop so I can unlock it from my android. Really versatile

Precisely this

Mine can also dehydrate food super quickly with a variable fan speed, which my traditional oven can’t do without burning through a ton of unnecessary energy

That thread could do with one of these: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_retardant

Hehehe

This kind of stuff happens all the time IMO, we’re human and not perfect 🤷‍♂️

I don’t know how much of a help ChatGPT would be in this situation without access to your schema, at least with Copilot you can write a comment in the code explaining what you’re trying to do and get some usable pointers in the generated suggestion (which takes your codebase into account).

I usually try to get a second pair of eyes on my code if something that seems relatively simple isn’t working as expected… As you gain more experience these mistakes will become less common, and easier to spot

FFmpeg (libavcodec) is just one of 22 codecs that VLC is shipped with

Micromobility is pretty active if you’re interested in product coverage and news. As for more organic content, it’s pretty infrequent in any of the existing bicycle communities ☹️

After one Google search on my work laptop I was looking for searx instances - a lot of those were going down too due to rate limiting 😭

Welcome!

Since you’re on the lemmy.world instance, there’s a bunch of additional interfaces available to you:

• https://old.lemmy.world/ (Something familiar)
• https://a.lemmy.world/
• https://photon.lemmy.world/

If you’re on mobile, there’s a ton of apps to choose from at https://join-lemmy.org/apps , or if PWAs are more your thing, your instance has the Voyager/Mlmym interface setup at https://m.lemmy.world/

Finding communities used to be difficult, but it should be straightforward now just from the search, seeing as it is the largest instance.

Hope you enjoy your stay 😁

I do something similar for my property’s exterior cameras, which are streamed to my VPS in ‘real-time’.

You will need to re-encode the footage - videos are already pretty well compressed, so traditional compression methods like 7z (lzma), gz, zip etc being layered on top can’t compress them further.

For your solution, I’d probably run a find every minute w/ cron to look for these files in a staging/watch folder, move them to another folder so they aren’t picked up on the next run, then re-encode with ffmpeg. Do note that when you re-encode footage, you always lose quality, even if you’re on a high quality preset.

I have a feeling that the Handbrake project can do this with a watch folder though, so might be worth looking into that. After a quick search this looks easier to setup than my solution:

I personally think some types of openly developed software projects should have a strict non-commercial license: if companies aren’t willing to contribute back to the source IMO they shouldn’t be granted permission to freeload & have volunteers fix issues their paying customers run into

Donations are possibly a bit of an exception here - there are quite a few companies that still do this, albeit growing slimmer by the day.

Another big problem IMO is the subset of users that start attacking maintainers and volunteers because their “free app stopped working” etc. I see that a lot, mostly in the arduino community, but especially egregiously on the Zabbix project - I imagine a lot of those users are companies who aren’t even paying/donating to the project

ElementaryOS sounds like a perfect fit for you, if you haven’t tried it already. Superb gesture support and consistent UI across all built in apps

That said, a lot of the gesture support has been implemented in Gnome and KDE now anyway, particularly partial gestures which previously had very poor support IIRC

Are you planning to make your own OS for the watch? If so, there’s another smartwatch project called the “SQFMI Watchy” which is an esp32 combined with an e-ink display, RTC and some other sensors.

While I would highly suggest supporting the creators, there are clones on Aliexpress that may more readily ship out to your country
