Is it possible yet to Miracast from the Pi to a smart TV? I like the form factor, but I'd love to only be tethered to power and not HDMI.


Kindof same... but for me it's frustrating that they don't include any sort of mouse device, which negates the "all in one" of it.

Too much on Linux (and websites!) expect mouse-style input, so.... you have to have a mouse, the stupid HDMI adapter, etc...

It's almost a better form factor to use a regular pi paired with the Logitech keyboard + trackpad setups. You can almost treat the pi as if it were an inline power brick.

The alternative (that I haven't quite gotten around to trying yet) is to use one of the "use your phone as a mouse" apps, basically it installs a mouse-listener-over-WiFi and then at least you can emergency-browse with the "just a computer in a keyboard" setup.


Shall they give their children to Putin instead?


there are reasonable policies between "give ukraine everything she possibly wants to protract a war of attrition that risks backing a nuclear power into a corner" and "tell ukraine to pound sand and kiss putin's ring."

for instance, EU states were repeatedly warned about their reliance on russian energy. the EU preferred to empower putin and constrain future actions in exchange for cheap power. perhaps, rather than passing the next massive aid bill, the EU could focus on hurting the aggressor state by literally just not sending her more money on a regular basis. eurocrats continue to, thanks to their reckless energy policy, literal billions of dollars straight to the Kremlin with which she can finance her expansionist war. stopping that would be a great first place to start.

or perhaps EU states could have gotten their act together faster and sent more than busted old helmets (cough Germany cough). trump says a lot of dumb stuff but he's entirely correct that europe has repeatedly failed to adequately invest in her own defense, particular since she has an aggressive, expansionist, would-be-again superpower on her eastern border. then when America doesn't pony up what europe thinks is enough, she goes on a whining tour and asks why the evil Americans won't spend enough money and lives to fight fascism.

Did you just ask for a citation from a hypothetical universe?


Well then, we’ll have to do with a hypothetical citation from a real universe.

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that a train derailment near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in May 2015 was prevented from being a disaster thanks to the train’s Emergency Control Power (ECP) brakes. According to the NTSB report, the ECP brakes, which are activated when the engineer loses control of the train, stopped the train within 1.25 seconds of the engineer’s attempts to stop it, preventing it from derailing. The ECP brakes are the most efficient braking system available, allowing trains to stop within a very short amount of time. Without them, the tragic derailment of Amtrak Train No. 188 may have been much worse.

Yeah how absurd of me to me to ask for their reasoning.

Not absurd at all to bring up another universe...

I ignored that silly part of their statement as you should have.


easy! serial HNer contrarianism


Or two finger scroll on a touchscreen.


I think they mean at the cellular network level (or stingray,) not the phone itself.


"twat" substring probably.


Wait, are you saying that you shouldn't have to pay back money accidentally delivered to you? Or is that an argument that a hypothetical person would make?
