My partial solution is to look a bit silly and shove the utensil in my mouth while I walk around setting up the meal (finding a seat, opening the package etc). Wetting the eating surface with your saliva for ~30-60 seconds helps a lot.
I think the parent commenter is perhaps a little over-selling the LG rooting. It is definitely root, you can write whatever you want on the filesystem (at your peril), and theoretically do whatever you want, but the homebrew exploit launches a bit later in the boot chain than you'd want (so blocking update nags isn't quite reliable), and a lot of the inner system things are proprietary and require reverse engineering to extend.
It's the same system software, just with root capacity.
That being said, there's still a bunch of nice homebrew:
- Video screensavers ala Apple TV
- DVD logo screensaver
- Adfree (and sponsorblock-integrated and optional shorts-disabling) Youtube
- Remote button remapping (Netflix button now opens Plex for me)
- Hyperion (ambilight service that controls an LED strip behind the TV)
- A nice nvidia shield emulator for game streaming from my PC with low latency
- VNC server (rarely useful, but invaluable when it is)
Sponsorblock and remote remapping are killer features for me, and the rest is just really pleasant to have.
Religiously updating my TV? It has been patched since spring, someone clicking by accident "yes" for the update notice that appears randomly on the middle of the screen in the past 9 months would ruin it. I was religously *not* updating my TV and it still got too new software for the exploit :')
As per the name, it's Din Don Dan [1], from Konami's DDR (and included in other rhythm games by them). This is specifically the performance from DanEvo [2].
This particular version became popular from a guy absolutely killing it despite appearances [3], but personally I like this one [4] because it shows how you can dance to look good, or dance to score well.
Human interfaces, sure, but there's a good chunk of industrial sensing IoT that might do some non-trivial edge processing to decide if firing up the radio is even worth it. I can see this being useful there. Potentially also in smart watches with low power LCD/epaper displays, where the processor starts to become more visible in power charts.
Wonder if it could also be a coprocessor, if the fabric has a limited cell count? Do your dsp work on the optimised chip and hand off the the expensive radio softdevice when your codesize is known to be large.
It's funny, more than any productivity app (though I do have a few of those), the Directory Opus [1] Explorer replacement is one of the things that I've yet to find a viable replacement for on both Linux and macOS. Unparalleled customisability, scriptable actions, outstanding performance (thumbnailing 10,000 images in a folder never causes slowdown), incredible search and "huh, why doesn't anyone else do this" features everywhere. I use my file explorer a lot so the friction is felt daily.
I'm using Forklift [2] on my mac at work, but it's a pale imitation of what a file explorer can truly be. I did some searching for Linux but it's all pretty pedestrian.
This is what happens when you run your blog behind cloudflare workers - they want you on pages instead, or to pay $5/month forever on the off chance you get slashdotted...
What's your recommendation? I've tried so many multiplatform toolkits (including GTK, Qt, wxWidgets, Iced, egui, imgui, and investigated slint and sciter) and nothing has come close to the speed of dev and small final app size of something like Tauri+Svelte.
of course dev speed will be better with tauri plus the literal ton of JavaScript transpilers we use today.
but for us an inhouse egui pile of helpers allow for fast applications that are closer to native speeds. and flutter for mobile (using neither Cupertino or material)
Glad to hear that egui is working for you, but in my experience it's not accessible, difficult to render accurate text (including emoji and colours), very frustrating to extend inbuilt widgets, and quite verbose.
One of my most recent experiences was making a fairly complex app at work in egui, then migrating to tauri because it was such a slog.
The web stack is now the desktop UI stack. I think the horse has left the barn.
It’s not great but there’s just no momentum or resources anywhere to work on native anymore outside platform specific libraries. Few people want to build an app that can only ever run on Mac or Windows.
