It would be very desirable. AlternativeTo is perhaps the best and most complete service to find Software and services, for any OS and license. It shouldn’t be missing from anyone’s bookmarks, even so, a shortcut in Lemmy wouldn’t be bad. Community driven, most with user reviews and ratings, warnings if a soft or service is discontinued, with Malware or Bundleware, all links to the corresponding Homepages for use or download.
I use TiddlyWiki via TiddlyPWA. It’s an offline-capable PWA with builtin sync and encryption. It doesn’t have folders but it does have nestable tags. I don’t think it supports markdown out of the box, but I’m positive you can find a plugin to use markdown. Plugins are crazy easy to install in TiddlyWiki; you just drag and drop the plugin into your wiki window and confirm the installation.
You can, in theory, use the notes on ProtonPass. I use Joplin, and regardless of the fact that the UI could be more user Fri, I believe it is currently the best FLOSS option out there.
Looks like Miracast and Wi-Fi Direct aren’t just some software you can tack onto a product. It’s a certification for a product that has proper software and hardware support to handle these tasks.
You can find some implementations of Android TV devices that have Miracast capabilities, such as the Nvidia Shield. Other than that, youll have to find another device that is certified for it.
I see. I thought all it would need would be a Wifi Antenna, seeing as almost any phone or laptop can act as a Miracast sender, but it seems it’s more complicated from the receiver side. Then that means that all the proprietary apps either don’t work and outright lie that they “act as miracast receivers”, or they implement their own protocols?
No, I haven’t found such an app yet, all those that claim to do so fail on my device, so I guess they really require something more hardware-side. There are some that work with their own proprietary apps, but I guess they have their own protocols and the performance is not great anyway.
Not necessarily. There are other operating systems and frameworks for embedded devices. Especially for commercial products. It doesn’t have to be something like Linux and GPL code.
This is a list of many other choices with many of them having non-copyleft licenses. And a thermostat is a comparatively simple device. They could also have implemented most things themselves and just taken a network-stack to connect it to the outside world. (I think network is something that is very complex and companies just buy a solution instead of writing all of that code.)
This is actually something I haven’t thought of. I’ll check it as soon as they deliver it. :D Although wouldn’t switching between HDMI input and miracast be janky, or does it happen automatically?
Miracast typically takes priority. It will ask for permission to allow it to display. It will then return to your previous input once the wireless display is disconnected.
I use TiddlyWiki via TiddlyPWA. It's an offline-capable PWA with a very quick sync capability. It works beautifully on my phone and desktop. It doesn't have folders, but it does have nestable tags, which works really well for me. I don't think it supports markdown out of the box, but I'm positive you can find a plugin for it. Plugins are crazy simple to install; you just drag and drop a link into you wiki tab and confirm installation.
