But third item means that there are two organs almost by definition, so original headline maybe slightly sensationalist, but not technically false.

They are used in book readers. Amazon Kindle Colorsoft, for example. Or I have android phone with such screen (though, not latest generation).

Rather opposite: I never seen consumer products with two-layer displays.

Nope, that's my point, on your kindle, the screen is a Kaleido 3, which is a black&white+lcd layer: https://www.reddit.com/r/eink/comments/1i8e26x/seriously_how...

Vs Spectra (the expensive screen): https://www.eink.com/upload/2023_11_14/3_20231114082849vy2as...

I don't see LCD layer here. Passive color filters, B/W capsules (which reflects or doesn't reflect incoming light, depends on orientation), TFT (thin layer transistors, not LCD — liquid crystal display!) as control to orient capsules.

Yes, it is not 4 color capsules as in Spectra, but where is LCD?

LCD what is caught my attention (and surprise) in your commentary.

But now I see difference, thank you.

Do you use AudioMoth embedded mic?

That’s the one, in their outdoor casing

Fun fact: Constitution of Nepal has chapter about format of The Flag and it reads as geometry textbook problem (starred one, for advanced students).

I'm surprised that all original firmwares were not protected at all.

I've tried to fix firmware of some cheap (but with good DAC and analog schematics) Chinese media player based on STM32 and firmware was protected by no-read fuses and only action possible in this case is to wipe flash, but not to read-out firmware.

And this scooter looks much more professionally-made and expensive product.

I think, whole idea of «web images» is silly now.

Browsers are new OSes.

There is no any «web» anymore. E-mail clients are web, news readers are web, image galleries are web, heck, even image editing software could be web (google:photopea).

And as such there should not be «web-optimized» formats anymore.

"Web optimised" really means "internet transfer optimised". Eg, the benefits would also be there for native apps that are downloading images from the internet, and they're not the web.

In practice "web optimized" is a soft copyright control where the image is read-only to the extent the only readily available software that can open it is a web browser.

All the formats we are talking about here (JXL, AVIF and WebP) have FOSS royalty-free encoders and decoders.

MPEG4 supports interactive 3D scenes (read: games!) via bit-encoded VRML which can include JavaScript. I don't know any software which support this features (even without interactivity), but it is here.

I'd wrote reader for this bit encoding many years ago when company I'd been employed at made custom VRML engine for Samsung featurephones (project was dead on arrival as at this moment smartphones / Android become available and all this lineage of featurephones was killed).

But it is not for prosumer. I don't want my PC to be terminal to 4-5 providers of compute who could ban me or raise prices tenfold overnight.

I don't see any advances for me, only for my employer, maybe, but it is not sure thing too.

It is interesting, that changes from 8.0 to 8.1 is more substantial than from 8.1 to 9.0.

I don't say it to mean "they did less work," no, what his interesting to me is choice of major version bump instead of minor one.

The version number gaps are misleading.

Any change in major or minor number indicates a new release branch. And the convention since 5.0 has been to go 0 --> 1 --> 0 --> 1 ... for each new branch.

IPTV from your ISP is typically multicast (even if your connection is point-to-point), and if you have more than one network behind your router (for example, you have separate networks for wire clients, owner's wifi and guests wifi) you need to understand hot it works to setup your router correctly that you can watch IPTV on any device in any of yours networks.

What would be great is if there was a “box” I could program 50 or 100 digital channels to IPTV channels and just flip channels on the tv and the box changed IPTV sources. anything like this that’s consumer grade available that works with M3U playlist

In the theory, if you install DLNA renderer/controller (player) on TV you could make appropriate DLNA media source from VLC or, maybe, ffmpeg.

Put it on RPi (as it could skip transcodnig and pass media streams as-is) and put into the box :)

We are on HN, after all!
