Would it be feasible to patch firefox or chromium to add the ability to dump the stream from <video> elements?


Absolutely, and seems like a feature that would already be in there if not for the majority of Firefox / Chrome funding coming from the advertisers.


IIRC it's already something you can do in Firefox with am extension, I vaguely recall using that to dump a video I wanted to watch offline.


There are two streams, video and audio are separate files. Thats the first hurdle stopping browser from presenting you with a simple "download source" button like on normal Video elements.


All the more reason to keep posting this stuff. People who do this seriously are why we can't have nice things.


And by posting this stuff, it just gets people doing this seriously to abuse it as much as possible, and it ends in it being blocked.


nod-ai/SHARK from the original submission is by far the fastest way I've found to run Stable Diffusion on a 5700 XT.

For 50 iterations:

* ONNX on Windows was 4-5 minutes

* ROCm on Arch Linux was ~2.5 minutes

* SHARK on Windows is ~30 seconds


I’ll have to give this a go over the weekend!


File-scoped namespaces is nice to not have every class already sitting at one level of indentation. I don't see what it has to do with nested folders.


I wish these phones had better US band support. Or that there were comparable phones for specs / price.


Try umidigi phone. All US bands except tmobile 71. Unlocked bootloader and stock android. $139 for a 'flagship' A11 Pro


Seconded (& I recommended them to the author of the piece, who didn't listen. :-D )

I have an Umidigi F2, with a 38MP camera, 6GB RAM, 128GB flash, big retina screen -- I neither know nor care the rez -- and a huge battery. It lasted 3 days of intensive use when new, it has a headphone socket and both dual SIM + µSD card slots, and it was an astonishing €125 new.

And a totally vanilla Android 10 install that even says it's a Pixel in a couple of places.

I'd rather have a ~£150 phone I can replace every 2 years than a ~£300 phone that has to last ~4 years, but others' mileage varies, of course. Including David's.

This is my 3rd cheapo Chinese phone and I've been very happy with all of them.

The 2nd was a PPTV King 7, AFAIK never sold outside of China, so even when set to English the ROM was partly in Chinese. This one I reflashed with CyanogenMod and it worked well. My camera no longer focused but that was about it. For its time it was _stunning_ and it's still in use by a friend of mine about 5Y after I bought it second-hand.


Umidigi was a line I strongly considered - they have some very nice gadgets - but the 108mp camera smelt too much like tasty, tasty crack.


Geez... those phones are beasts.

It's incredible how all phones are coming along these days. It seems to be easier for other companies to get into phone manufacturing, I just hope more of them get into FOSS.


The CPU looks like a lackluster (MediaTek helioG80). Single core: slightly over 1/3 of Poco F3 or 1/4 of iPhone 12.


Cpu is slow. Geekbench results. Helio G80(Xiaomi Redmi 9):358, Poco F3: 965, iPhone 12:1575


If you've also been vaccinated is it possible to distinguish that?

Edit: I suppose in this case they could test prior samples, but if you don't have any, you're out of luck?


I know this! It depends on the antibody test - if you can get a test for the nucleocapsid antibodies, that will determine whether you had the disease or not. People who are vaccinated will test positive for the spike protein, but will not test positive for the nucleocapsid antibodies, at least with the vaccines currently available (I believe there are vaccines in development that target both proteins, but not yet available).

Some antibody tests target spike or nucleocapsid, some target both, so you need to check which tests they are using and verify what it tests against (or ask your doctor to order a specific test that checks for the nucleocapsid antibodies).

I learned this when I was part of a vaccine study and was curious to know whether I had gotten the vaccine or the placebo, and was able to use a spike antibody test to confirm that I was in the vaccine group.


I wonder if it’s theoretically possible to construct a historical timeline of immunity development for an individual by taking multiple tests, sounds like a proper forensics work than something to do just out of curiosity.

Awesome thanks! I couldn't find it


This is the first I've heard of Termux and now I'm curious what you use it for. Like are you SSHing into other environments?


SSH, and also when you're on the road and want to write a simple Python script to process something, or do something with your sensor data logging. Termux has a Python API to access sensor data, it has numpy, it has requests, so you can do a lot.


https://www.passwordstore.org

Here is a popular CLI app to manage passwords. I use it on my desktop, laptop and phone.


You don't need Termux for that, there are native clients for Android, I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.msfjarvis....


There are native clients, but can you use git to sync the encrypted passwords with your other devices?

And that was just one example. You can also use python as a much better calculator, share files over wifi with a web server etc.


For me ssh to access my main Emacs session is a big part of it but I also run some shell scripts and CLI tools and services written in Go. ssh-ing back into the phone for file transfer is another important use.


It looks like it's broken dark mode support.


Huh, I never knew about this.

Go to Settings > Projecting to this PC to enable it. You may need to install the Wireless Display optional feature first.


The fact that this part isn't linked to from the "Cast to wireless display" section of settings is absurd. Win10 control panel is a mess. I actually made a real effort to find the setting. Your post was the only thing to point me in the right direction.
