that actually seems really good. its not much use to me now since i jumped on the neovim bandwagon last year but its going to be great for people who dont use the terminal much

it would be even better if they gave it a decent name or at least something unique. its going to be a pain in the ass trying to search for it online

no. ive skimmed through maybe 2 things overall but thats about it. i use too many apps to be able to audit them all and i dont have the proper skills to audit code anyway, and even if i did i would still have to re-audit after every update or every few years. its just not worth the effort

youre taking a chance whether you use closed or open source software, at least with open source there is the option to look through things yourself, and with a popular project theres going to be a bigger chance of others looking through it

or if every company in europe that uses MS office stuff donated a few euro every year

if they do backtrack on this then its too late for me cos the damage is already done. ive got myself some new hardware already i wont be buying anything from them again. i wish them the best of luck though

raspberry pi's arent the best option anyway since you need to add on a hat just to get some SATA ports. i think Odroid has some boards with sata connectors. zimaboard or zimablade are some other options off the top of my head

ive been using floccus for a few years now and no complaints

i havnt tried syncing tabs but i think its an option. what i do have is a one-way sync job for the tabs in each browser so i at least have a backup of them, and each browser has its own file, but i would imagine if you tried to sync the same file between multiple devices it would just get very messy at some point

ah ok! i have a fiio btr3 bluetooth receiver that is something along those lines. it doesnt show any track info but its got buttons at least and you can plug in whatever headphones you want. there could be others around that are more like the MD remotes but i havnt done much research

if youre on android theres also "key mapper" by sds100 that will let you change to the next/prev track by long pressing the volume keys so you dont need to take it out of your pocket!

i thought by now there would be small enough machine learning models that could be run on a dash cam that would blur out people's faces. like OpenCV stuff or whatever Panoramax are using for their street-view imagery? but i dont know, maybe it would take more powerful CPUs to do this kind of thing?

this guy is using a transmitter with his minidisc, im sure any transmitter you could find would work

seems like kind of a chore having to charge 3 separate things though. if someone would just do a kickstarter for a new minidisc player that had bluetooth built in and usb-c to power it i would buy one in an instant!

the minidisc i have now uses mini usb to transfer data and then has a weird 3v charging port, and the cable for that doesnt work anymore so im just stuck with using AA batteries to power it now. its a bit of a mess. these days it would be just a single usb-c port that would handle all that

good luck with your minidisk journey anyway if you head down that road haha

putting a "backdoor" in secure software is the equivalent of taking a safe and installing a cat flap on the back of it

yea! those remotes were definitely handy back in the day when you would be out and about with it, but i mostly just use it at home these days so i dont have the remote attached.

webmd.pro is what i use. it runs in any chrome browser. its a bit on the slow side but i cant remember at this point whether it was always slow to burn to these disks.

but as long as the minidisc player has "netMD" on the front it should work with that. the only other thing you have to do if youre on windows is install this driver

theres also ElectronWMD which is basically just webmd.pro packaged into a desktop app. that may or may not have the driver included, i havnt tried it yet
