I initially though that, but then read your comment and thought it was about someone leaving a job being a creator on YouTube, not leaving a job at the company YouTube.

It’s game streaming, except you stream an entire PC.

To elaborate on this, since watching this video I’ve paid attention to how sponsorships provide discounts to viewers of creators, and it’s often via URLs. eg. service.com/creator_name, not with a discount code. That way, a website can track how many people went to the URL, not how many used whatever code is associated with that URL.

As an additional blocking measure, maybe a website could simply create a different listing for the same product instead of relying on discount codes, this different listing only being accessible via the creator links. I’m not sure if Honey would figure out how to navigate that as well or not, swapping the item in the cart or whatever.

I’d totally be interested to hear more on how companies deal with this, and if there are better ideas than the one I came up with as I typed this comment.

They are, yeah

BeamNG is another example of this. That said, it’s one of the highest selling automotive games on Steam iirc.

Tuya is the real issue, but yeah, for a house lock I’d only go with a reputable zigbee/zwave/wired solution.

The Steam Controller is going to be an amazing way to navigate a desktop environment via the couch. I’m honestly as excited for it as the other hardware. The track pads are amazing.

Of course, in regards to streaming, you will be limited to 1080p or 720p because DRM. I might mention that one might consider other means of viewing ones content if doing so legally isn’t an option.

Yeah, it’s almost exactly the same in terms of software maintence, but of course you don’t actually host anything. I like the idea that, if the WWW goes down, I’ll still be able to control my smart home (locally of course) and such. Using a VPS is like semi-self hosting. I can’t really think of a good term for it, so I can see why it’s still grouped into self hosting.

Yeah, I have dabbled in that with streaming to multiple platforms via a VPS. It definitely is stretching the definition of self hosting.

Ahh, that makes sense. When I think of self hosting, I think of using your own hardware.

What’s the benifit of E2EE file storage on a self hosted server? I use FileBrowser Quantum, and it’s super nice, as I can access the same shared drives that I access at home.

I have a Hisense that I’ve never connected to the internet. It has an input button on the remote, and I just use that to go between inputs. I’m only reminded it’s a smart TV when the power goes out and I see the Google TV boot screen.

Using that would require having my TV connected to the internet, which I refuse to do.

In some places it’s too close, but in many places (like the top) it’s way too far away.

The Crew series still exists, 2 and Motorfest.

Wait, I heard about this and assumed the money had changed hands in the opposite direction. Why the fuck would Disney be paying OpenAI to use their intellectual property? That’s not how that has ever worked.

I’ve been on Linux for nearly a year now, and the biggest losses for me personally have been GTA Online and The Crew series.

Watching Technology Connections recent final (probably not final) video on dishwashers made me really want an open source dishwasher where you can program your own cycles. Maybe over the next few years hacking appliances will become common, doing what Valetudo has done for robot vacuums.

Unfortunately my TV is not one of your homies.
