This is quite cool, but I see nothing on how the choice of cities to include was done?

In my case my city isn’t included, and the nearest city that is, is over 100km away on the other side of a mountain. The next one is about 500km away.

I also see plenty of smaller cities here in Norway than mine that are included, so this makes me think the selection of cities was probably made based on largest city within x radius. Would be neat to know how these selections were made.

You’re not thinking about when Microsoft bribed their way into them not switching by opening an office in the area?

There’s people running old raspberry pis with USB hard drives.

It’ll run on just about anything.

Though, you’ll only be able to stream original quality, no on the fly quality changes for low speed connections and such.

Yeah, you will have to send the dev the new trial ID for a re-activation.

That’s also why it’s costs more, because it’s more manual work for him.

It’s a chore, but really cool by the dev to offer it as an option for people with de-googled devices.

Nope. You can buy an infinite trial via the developers ko-fi!

There’s info about it on the symfonium forum.

Too bad it’s unusable if you’re like me and have huge playlists that you want to offline for shuffling due to spending long stretches of time without an Internet connection.

When I asked about this limitation, I was told that it was stupid to have such big playlists and needing to offline them because nobody is without Internet for long enough times for it to matter.

Great response from the developers that.

You emit an unmaskable and extremely noticeable odour whenever invisible.

They talked about streaming VR games from the SteamOS based steam machine to it.

So with that I’d assume we’re finally getting some much needed progress to SteamVR on linux.

Personally I don’t care which state actor it is, I don’t want any of them to have easy access to my data.

If they want it, they should work for it.

All your data from this device being stored on servers in China that are accessible to the Chinese government isn’t a relevant concern?

It’s not cloud free and requires online activation with the Tuya app. (I assume based on other Tuya WiFi devices)

Yup, it’s a rebranded Tuya device.

It’s a rebranded Tuya device, which can actually be used in a local only mode.

I wouldn’t trust connecting it to the Tuya online services though that is for certain.

It’s a rebranded Tuya device, and they don’t sell your data to any law enforcement or insurance.

They do however comply with Chinese laws and all your data is readily available for the Chinese government.

It’s a rebranded Tuya doorbell. So there aren’t any subscriptions, though you will be giving them all your data.

They do though, 4chan complies with US laws and regulations. They regularly hand over logs to various US agencies.

Oh yeah, I didn’t think about commercial vehicles like pickups and vans.

The hilux definitely has a proper hand brake, and their vans do too.

None of the newer Toyotas except the 86 that I’ve been have had a proper mechanical handbrake sadly :(

I just want a mechanical safety backup for the brakes, even non-EV new cars don’t have that :(
