ben_dover,

(not trolling, genuinely curious) how does edge help with anything WebKit? i thought it uses Chromium under the hood too

ben_dover, (edited )

my go-to setup is

  • chromecast with googletv 4k
  • alldebrid membership (€3 a month)
  • stremio app + torrentio addon
ben_dover,

debrid is basically “cloud torrenting”, a server torrents the files and you download them from there. extremely useful if you live in a jurisdiction where p2p filesharing is illegal.

stremio is a netflix-like video player app, torrentio an addon that let’s you crawl torrent sites and stream stuff via debrid.

ben_dover,

as someone who has played around with offline speech recognition before - there is a reason why ai assistants only use it for the wake word, and the rest is processed in the cloud: it sucks. it’s quite unreliable, you’d have to pronounce things exactly as expected. so you need to “train” it for different accents and ways to pronounce something if you want to capture it properly, so the info they could siphon this way is imho limited to a couple thousand words. which is considerable already, and would allow for proper profiling, but couldn’t capture your interest in something more specific like a mazda 323f.

but offline speech recognition also requires a fair amount of compute power. at least on our phones, it would inevitably drain the battery

yes it looks like a con that’s common on twitter - “omg if my boyfriend would get me this for Christmas, i’d marry him” and then a link to an overpriced item on etsy or similar, that you can get off aliexpress or even amazon for cheap.

same here, found the exact same product on aliexpress for half the price

ben_dover,

Zachary did quite alright, considering the shoes he had to fill
