Thanks for the link, but I still do not see where it says “Microsoft blocked apps because of Russian dev.”

The dev says that it’s related to depreciated features, not the country of origin:

Well, this has to do with myriad feature flags around copilot and working area hacks MS is doing. But generally classic taskbar is dead code and 24H2 is going bring only degradations and pain.

I don’t think that’s how Tesla owners feel. 🤔 I think most are pretty happy. (Me included)

Hmm. Russia or Russian programmers were not in the article. The only reason was performance:

It is possible that Microsoft blocked those apps due to a higher number of crashes on build 26100, which is allegedly version 24H2 RTM build.

Thanks for this one. My Google Home has the same capability for BBC and NPR so I tried NPR with Siri, but it just played the NPR live feed in Music. Know if I can get that hourly news report from NPR like the BBC one?

I love this kind of stuff.

I don’t think you really need a 10gb network, unless you’re pulling down 4k and 8k video files or if you have over 10 users connecting at a time.

At idle, power consumption of the NUC is very low–about 5 watts. At load, it’s about 100 watts.

Regardless if you use a NUC or NAS, I would recommend focusing on the processor. Make sure it can can handle the type of codec that you’re wanting to transcode to and from (hevc, avc) on the transcoder device. Intel QSV is also pretty nice if your chip supports it and you don’t care too much about quality.

Here’s my (semi) educated opinion: Get a NAS just for storage and retrieval. Get a NUC with a modern chip and run your apps and transcoding on it. I have this in my lab and it allows me to upgrade in the future depending on what my needs are. If I need more processor power, I get a new NUC. If I need more storage, I can add an expansion device and/or replace the NAS completely.

If you combine the storage and transcoding into a single device on the NAS, you’re locked in if your needs change and you will need to start looking at more expensive HCI options.

Ah yeah that makes sense—I get it now. I think I couldn’t imagine how deep the plug would need to be compared to the pencil circumference.

I think my brain was expecting the plug to be mounted like it was on the Gen 1 pencil. I guess I thought the angle was weird because I couldn’t see how a plug’s depth would fit in the small cylindrical pencil shape. I see how it could work now from this photo: https://i0.wp.com/www.seriousinsights.net/wp-content/uploads/Zagg-Pro-Stylus-Charging.jpg

I like this logo.

Me too. The tabs are not great and crash often for me.

I’m going to introduce you to Tesla.

Why not block? Apple makes the hardware and the os. They should have control over the things they make.

Interesting use case.

I’m opposite. I want 0 video functionality in the app and just want audio. When they made the YouTube integration more visible I started getting the ick.
