Yeah, it's kinda sad how much applause this is garnering when publishing API specs should be bare minimum for any smart device, never mind EoL concerns.

Don't let perfect be the the enemy of good. I fully agree with you on what the bare minimum should be, but the reality is that our definition of bare minimum is currently a fantasy. Any steps taken toward our vision is good and should be applauded IMHO. Especially when it's a major player like Bose that hopefully sets a positive precedent and gets other manufacturers to realize this is not only possible but leads to applause and hopefully more sales.

Evolution v. Revolution. I'd prefer the latter, but realistically the former is the more likely to succeed short of people like us getting control of regulatory bodies and forcing it.


what more do you actually need?

Unless you want to actually develop ON the device (and build binaries etc...), this completely allows you to use the device and connect it to whatever, so I don't know what more we should expect.

No one else is doing this, so yeay applause


Open sourcing the server code would make getting your own instance of it way easier, and maybe opening the app code so people should change the controls?

Time-weight predictions so that they're "worth" more the further in advance they are, converging to "worthless" as they approach the due date? Perhaps there is a way of making this result emerge "organically" from the rules of the system, rather than explicitly encoding it.

That's understating it. There's no amount of skill that will render that setup stable - it's baked into the way those projects are managed.

That's why I keep using Gentoo and X11 to handle my three GPU setup. An Intel iGPU, an AMD dGPU on the same package as the Intel CPU and a RTX 4060 Ti eGPU connected through Thunderbolt.

Nah, your install is broken somehow. That's not in any way normal.

Diagnostics: Ubuntu/Arch? So you're triple booting? With I assume automatic updates enabled in Ubuntu and Windows, and manual in Arch? Spread over a plethora of disks?

Yeah, no, don't get in too deep with a complex configuration you can't handle and blame Linux for being an unusable daily driver. My girlfriend daily drives Linux. My dad daily drives Linux. It's fine.


It’s not a triple boot, I’ve had this happen on multiple times on a Windows/Ubuntu and Windows/Arch systems. Happened first on arch and just blamed it on Arch issues and switched to Ubuntu and it happened again and this is across different HW generations. automatic updates enables enabled on all configs and Linux will just have some weird issue that crops up that renders the OS not usable. I know what I’m doing and I’ve been running systems with Linux for over 20yrs. Linux has its issue and so does windows. Funny enough the majority of issues(at least in recent memory) have been on desktop systems. My first homelab server ran on my old dell laptop without any major issues for 5 years before migrating to a desktop.

That's such an excessively naive, childlike take that it's hard to know where to start. You don't become a billionaire by "making and selling things". That doesn't scale beyond the low millions. You become a billionaire by leveraging existing capital to rearrange bits of the economy in such a way that money flows towards you [note]. Productive output, be it goods or services (which you seem to have forgotten exist) is strictly optional. You think Warren Buffet sits in his garage cranking out widgets? What planet are you on?

[note] For example, you might contrive to purchase the entire supply of some valuable resource with inelastic demand, and then sell it back to people, perhaps at an inflated price.


> You don't become a billionaire by "making and selling things".

See Microsoft, Walmart, Amazon, Apple, Tesla, SpaceX, Pixar, Lego, and on and on.

Example?


You can't even save games without an internet connection? sheesh...

people can't even listen to music without internet, so this isn't surprising xD

You can. The same devices that run Spotify will happily play your mp3 collection.

I can. You can. Spotify users though?

Too dumb


Spotify allows you to download songs for offline (requiring a phone home once a month) and play local files.

I'm far from a Spotify advocate but no need to be inflammatory and misinformed.


Worth adding this option is available for premium accounts only.

Of course. It's available for customers, not products.

Because products need to see ads, check in and report usage and ad consumption.


Spotdl.......

Actually, I don't know. It's certainly convenient that they do. You don't lose anything if your HD crashes. I should try running the games without Internet access to see if they also save them locally.


No, the decline of Firefox market share happened in the early 2010s, on desktop, when everyone switched to Chrome because it felt way faster. I say "everyone" - this is the subset of "everyone" who were switched on enough to use a non-default browser in the first place. The rest used IE or Safari, dependent on platform.


We also constantly move our heads and refocus our eyes. We can get a rough idea of depth from only a static stereo pair, but in reality we ingest vastly more information than that and constantly update our internal representation in real time.

That's a good one. Got any more?
