You need an app for that?


I know right? On Linux for example GNOME needs an extension and only KDE seems to have a handy toggle available from the get go. It seems the normal is to NOT make a feature like this easily available.


I guess `caffeinate` doesn't go that far because it can easily lead to overheating.


Men in the middle wages


If you use firefox+ublock its very easy to block these super annoying pop ups.


Stavros Halkias! Very funny guy. And also a maker and HN god! Never would have thought.


2 player can lead to fist fights.


Thats a 404

Might be this.


Sorry, that’s correct. The other one is an internal one not released yet that also have a full Tailscale server written in Rust.


“Finally, the firmware now supports authenticated OTA updates, so future builds can be installed through the browser instead of connecting the board over USB.”

What does that mean?


I have about 30-40 esp32 / esphome type devices running. Typically to flash or update a device, you would plug it into your usb port.

esphome can also be flashed "OTA" which just means compiling your project locally, then pushing the binary over tcp/ip and giving an instruction to install it.

With https://github.com/esphome/device-builder you can run a network of multiple esphome builders so you can update many devices at the same time "OTA" (TCP/IP).


OTA = over the air. ie online updates you’d expect of a more polished product


But the browser is involved. Can the browser do OTA to esp32?


The browser connects to a webserver running on the ESP32. Over wifi -> over the air. OTA doesn't mean headless or automatic


I believe the ESP32 runs a small web server that supports WebSerial (?), if you can reach it over WiFi or somesuch, you should be able to upload the new firmware blob that way.


I’m glad it got reposted because I just tried it out. What a smooth experience! I managed to get an old desktop - with no wifi and far from n ethernet port - connected by this gadget! Great job in getting this to work, creating a nice user interface and releasing it!


“ChatGPT launched in November, 2022. Opus in December last year.”

You seem to be implying that there was nothing before. Obviously not true.

“AI may be a tool and add 50 IQ points to a 100 IQ person today but what happens when its adding 10000 IQ points.”

What is even IQ? What if it adds 50 now, 25 next month, 12.5 the month after, etc. You should check out Zeno.


As always - great article.

FYI - The link for Peter Kogge is broken and should probably link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Kogge
