Is privacy a concern if the monitoring is locally processed? Apple claims it is.

I say it's amazing how far we've progressed. We could've prevented an entire Seinfeld episode if cameras could warn the user of the presence of nudity in their photos.

They had to have known that free options like Jellyfin were on their tails and pivoted to a revenue model that doesn't rely on competing with FOSS

I imagine a lot of their users (like myself) use Plex because it was the best option 10 years ago and premium was $40 during sales

I personally just have a discord with myself as the only member. With their webhooks API you can even automate the PC side.

It's the unofficial "where's my mouse pointer" macro

At least one DE I've used (MacOS? KDE?) even had it as an official macro that would make the pointer 10x bigger when you shook it

MacOS and KDE both do this. In KDE the pointer keeps getting larger the longer you shake it until it is truly absurdly huge.

This might be the new Compiz, my friends love seeing this effect on KDE.

KDE does that by default. Handy sometimes, funny sometimes.

If you keep on shaking the mouse, the pointer just keeps getting bigger and bigger. You can certainly find it when it is enormous.

Put it where the capslock key currently goes. Not sure what purpose it serves these days.

Its whole purpose is to be remapped as CTRL, as god intended.

It was a sad day (well, presumably pair of days) when Sun & Apple gave up that fight and moved caps lock into that position.

Also, Apple definitely had the nubbins correct (D and K) and foolishly surrendered that as well: they're easier to notice when they're under the wrong fingers. With them on F and J, if your hand is offset towards the outside you're forced to notice the absence of the nubs.

Wow I never thought about that, but it makes complete sense. I just tried shifting my hands "as if" the nubs were on D and K and wow, it should have been this way.

Oh well, just like caps lock can be remapped, so can my keycaps be swapped (perks of blank keyboards I guess), though it'd be even harder to use a keyboard that's not mine I guess.

Why the need for a third CTRL key, when the only backspace key is currently in Siberia?

If backspace is in Siberia, delete is in the Arctic. Wouldn't mind having easier access to that function.

Speak for yourself. I prefer SHIFT, I have too much muscle memory with CTRL+ZXCV and just pushing down CTRL down with an edge of my palm.

Is that how you do it? I have always used my left pinky. As I try it, unless I'm moving my hands off home row, both Ctrls feel just too far to be confident I'm hitting the right one (and not hitting the modifiers second in from the edges, and not hitting both). Maybe it's just my small hands!

In terms of ergonomics, the curled-left-thumb "Command" activation (it's where Alt is on a normal keyboard) is my favorite thing about the Mac key layout.

Depends.

Sometimes it's pinky on the CTRL and index on AZXCV ie the hand lower/closer to me.

Sometimes it's pushing CTRL with an edge of the hand and with the fingers on the ASDF to press AFRCVB.

Sometimes it's my hand on ESDF with run around in Zandronum and pushing CTRL with an edge of the hand to invoke 'invuseall'.

The main driver for moving SHIFT to CAPSLOCK is what SHIFT is used way more common than CTRL and with my big hands it gets quite uncomfortable for my pinky to used too much in an awkward shrimp mode.

NB on a non-laptop keyboards I flip both Windows/Super keycaps upside-down, helps a bit.

most places ban exotic pets that are able to survive in the local climate to prevent invasive species from outcompeting the local feral cat population.

Well played, sir or madam.

Recursed is really fantastic. There's puzzles in there that took a few days for me to solve

For another niche hit check out Recursed

The Wii supports 240p, though, which is very hard to replicate these days.

Or 480i if you want to watch classic anime on a CRT.

It can't really decode 480p/i very well.

The fact that it has component video out makes it a swiss army knife for everything else 240p/480i/480p.

Indeed.

I watched a backup of a [480p24] DVD movie with a (hacked) Wii quite a long time ago, as a fallback after the PS3 I was using got tripped up on that film's Cinavia[1] watermarks.

The Wii worked OK-ish, but it was evident that it was barely keeping up with decoding the MPEG 2 video from the disc and putting it on the screen. Perhaps there is or was better software for that job, but there were some glitches and brief hangs.
