So I'm still using Windows on my desktop, but from my experience with Proton on Steam Deck, Proton works pretty flawlessly essentially translating the windows exe. I'm assuming it's the same for a Linux desktop setup but I'll let others who actually have experience here comment further. The only thing that you may have issues with are competitive online games, but those aren't really my jam but understandable if they are for you.

It's supposed to be a cup of tea. Acute tea pie. Took me a second as well since I thought coffee too.

You are correct, which goes into the cost category of doing a stream stitched integration. Also, when I left said ad server in 2016, I think I recall HLS streaming primarily supported by Apple devices. Devices like Roku's (don't quote me on that) didn't support it at the time so a lot of companies looked at where the majority of their streaming was occurring and decided it wasn't worth the hit.

The HLS integration we offered definitely had a premium attached to it as well as an additional cost to the CDN that required the integration to live on. So it's not cheap.
It is weird that Google, with it's infinite pockets, hasn't pushed a stream stitched solution all these years until recently.

You can still do dynamic ad serving in a stream stitched integration. It's just that the content and the ads are being served by the same CDN, hence why you can't block the ads without also blocking the content. In the manifest file there are m3u8 chucks, the file is essentially broken up into 5/10 second chunks, and when the video segment chunk is coming to an ad break, it stitches in dynamically an ad m3u8 chunk that the ad server dynamically selects based on the ads they currently have trafficked in their system.

I worked at a video ad server that offered a stream stitched solution going back to 2013. It comes down to development work/cost that the companies need to take on. Ultimately they would benefit from the cost required, but they wanted to be cheap and do a client side solution instead.

Every kid is different, so maybe you'll get lucky by that age. Definitely invest the time to do sleep training, which should be around the corner for you guys. We've been dealing with night terrors lately, so a lot of sudden wake ups in the middle of the night and confusion/freaking out. Takes a bit longer to get her back down after that type of episode.

That's exactly what it was! She had twins at the same grade level and she didn't want them reading those books. This was in South Carolina, so this type of behavior was expected. The Karen's ruled South Carolina...

I can appreciate the setup and dedication. However, I feel it falls flat when the older consoles are output to a LCD/LED/OLED display and not to a CRT.

Hi! Tired father of a two year old here! I'm the primary caretaker of our daughter after preschool ends at 2:30. My wife and I both work during the day and really struggle with finding the time to make dinner at the end of a long work day. Does anyone have any recommendations on meal box services that aren't overly complicated? We tried Green Chef and another one which I can't remember, and while we liked the idea of cooking at home more, the recipes were too time intensive for one of us to be in the kitchen while the little one is running around the house. I often found their prep/cook time estimates to be incredibly inaccurate. Usually add on 15 additional minutes to what they quoted on the recipe cards. Are there any other services out there that are more simple in their prep? Bonus difficulty, I'm a carnivore and she's a pescaterian who hates anything with carbs. I don't require meat for every meal, but like it from time to time. I'm sure most parents here will understand the delicate dance that is walking the dog at 4, start dinner at 5, bath at 6:30, bed by 7:30.
Has anyone figured out a good solution to remote wake a PC from the Steam Deck? Seems silly this wasn't baked into the UI, considering this could be done from the Steam Link hardware back in the day.
For those unaware, Miku baby cameras are now charging a monthly subscription for features that owners previously had access to such as remote access, live breathing monitor, nightly statistics, DVR of movement through the sleep. We originally paid $400 because it was advertised as a product that would not require a monthly subscription, and we've been using it that way for the past 14 months. As of this month, the only functionality that exists without a subscription is video monitoring, but only on your local network. Everything else requires you to pay. Likely what led to this was due to the fact that they released a buggy firmware earlier this year that bricked everyone's cameras and they were on the hook to replace cameras. A few months after this they declared bankruptcy, only to be purchased by someone who has instituted the monthly subscription (rumors it's an investor of Miku trying to make their investment back). I didn't get an email about this change, only saw some chatter on that other site about it. Anticipating this change, I blocked the app from updating on my Android phone and all apps from updating on our iPad. I know it was a long shot thinking that would work, betting that it would be a server side change as opposed to client side. Looks like the change went live a day or so ago, people are pissed, however I still have access to features. Looks like the subscription block is a client side update based on the screen shots I've seen. Long story short, how can I pull the .apk from my phone to distribute to others? Fuck this company. EDIT: Figured it out, here's the update from May 2023 with features still intact - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sOOCY08j8nxvfXJd1SU7Kll-uMjiRftm/view?usp=drivesdk EDIT 2 - I figure this company only has a few months left, we'll easily just transition to a cheap Ubiquiti camera that records on my local network. Fuck this remote recording approach.
Not sure what was alleged but right move by the rest of the band members.
I have two pi-holes on my home network, but I'm noticing that when I open links using Connect's built in browser, I'm being served display ads when I normally wouldn't be. When I open the links with an external browser no ads are displayed. Is the app using a hardcoded DNS server when making requests to the links? Is there a way to stop that so it instead uses the DNS server configured on my home network? Yes I realize I could set up a DNS Masq rule. I just didn't like how the reporting ended up being I pi-holes dashboard.
