Xchat with its sleek tab interface was the bomb

This is pure awesome

Yes! I can not recommend draw.io aka diagrams.net enough! (I still don't understand why it has two names and which name is the current "correct" one)

It works both in the browser, or as a downloadable standalone application that works 100% offline.

My favourite feature is exporting PNG or PDF with the complete diagram XML embedded as metadata, which means they can be opened and edited again by draw.io

It's very useful not only for networking, but all sorts of diagramming needs

Thanks for sharing, I have 3 hm90s I'm about to set up ( just waiting for RAM and SSDs ), these crashes sound super frustrating.

I was planning to run them detuned anyway to reduce the strain and temperature on the Power Supply, since its a non-standard USB-C which looks hard or impossible to replace if it breaks some years from now

I agree after seeing the patent , there's nothing groundbreaking or novel there.

Replace video for audio then there's already prior art for both control and synchronization with Sonos (2005). And a plethora of Winamp web interface plugins.

For video there was already the XMBC web interface. Sure there was no "app", but the patent is vague enough that the web-browser on the smartphone accessing the web interface can be considered the app

After looking at the patent it's clear it's way too vague, generic and obvious. It should never have been granted. (I Am Not A patent Lawyer). For one the XMBC web interface from 2009ish is prior art.

Technically the Kodi remote control app would be in violation of the patent, except it doesn't use any "back end server system".

If you replace the words "display" and "video" with "speaker" and "audio" then the Spotify app would be in violation as well, as it allows changing the playback device to any of your logged in devices.

Come to think of it, if you use Firefox on mobile to access YouTube, then "send tab to other device", and send it to a desktop computer connected to a big screen, it could be interpreted as violating the patent as it's using Mozilla's "back end server" to relay the message

Depends on what exactly was covered in the patent. The article only says

invented technology in 2010 to "move" videos from a small device like a smartphone to a larger device like a television.

Which is vague and an obvious bogus patent. Prior art exists in both the digital and analogue space

The AI arms race has begun!

Isn't this kinda thing happening already in the recruitment industry?

PixelDroid for Android. It's available on F-Droid too

No mention of OCR? Copy-pasting links or data will be a joy..

Proxmox is so good it's hard to believe. It's VMware levels of features and convenience, while also supporting LXC containers, no license shenanigans, no enshitification, and the full flexibility of Debian under the hood

The recent-ish addition of Proxmox Backup Server is the cherry on top, with de-duplicated , incremental system image level backups with support for individual file restore

Yes both!

I use Qalc for unit conversions (I often need to convert measuring units without acces to internet) and SpeedCrunch for everything else
