Photopea -- online, but can be used as a PWA. One of the best! Answering here, as well. Saw your other post.

Thank you!

Sweet! Thank you!

Super cool. What command / package are you using on Termux to generate that info in the widget?

LibreTranslate has a FF addon:

Likewise, I think FF has (or will have?) a native capability to translate, as well:

Recommendations to purchase a smart TV but never connect it to a network are futile, as well. Just like Amazon devices, smart TVs will find an open SSID and then phone home for updates without your knowledge.

My recommendation, when these kind of topics come up, is: either exchange your smart TV for a dumb one, or go to an electronics repair shop to have a board or two exchanged (depending on the make and model, older dumb components may be direct-ish replacements for smart ones).

EDIT: Another option? Try a projector! I was looking for dumb TV options online after writing up this comment, and someone on an old Reddit post recommended it. Great idea.

2nd EDIT: Someone else also recommended buying digital signage, another solid dumb display option.

Maybe this?

Soulseek introduced me to so much new music! It was also the first software I had encountered that would randomize its port on connect -- or at least let you customize it -- to avoid firewalls.

Beep boop, my dude.

Even though there's a small monthly cost, the results have been consistent for Kagi. But consistency meets only half of my needs for search: I also want to make decisions quickly from what I find within the contents. If I were to to go to a link, wait for it to load, scroll the content, etc. -- does that listed forum post have the answer I am looking for? Does this news article cover the nuances I have been tracking and would like to read more of? Kagi offers an AI-based summarize feature that helps. And that's been meeting the other half of my needs, as well.

EDIT, an opinion: Search services may well be eventually replaced by small, niche LLMs trained to perform summerization tasks, such as Consensus, which I have used for work research, and Perplexity.ai. The AI summarize feature of Kagi is why I see the service as more useful than straight indexes, even when self-hosted. Kagi is a stepping stone toward this for me, and why I recommend it.

Think if we dried them off with a towel or something, they'd still be good? I have a towel somewhere. Hold on.

Try a FF add-on and see if that helps: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searxng-search/

+1 for battery voltage, OP. You may have a faulty battery. If that is the case, how long have you owned the replacement? Is it within a window of returning it?

Even though you have been downvoted to hell, this post resonates with real efforts by the US gov't to get ahead of foreign nations with semiconductor tech for AI. Anyone who is curious to read more, the US has the CHIPS initiative, which boasts a $52 billion ceiling for various efforts. This award amount is intended for a lot of different companies to leverage as they work to meet various requirements of the contract, not just Intel. Intel, however, is working to get a large set-aside of state funding, upwards of $90 million, through the vehicle of CHIPS. So there's that.

Is this military funding, though? No, not DoD. But as a gov't contracting effort to bring the US quickly to the forefront in this field, it could have implications for defense, for sure. No question.

Something super interesting all this reminds me of, DoD-wise, is the Space Force's "softwar" concept, a paper put out by Major Jason P. Lowery -- it's a premise for a future where world militaries compete in raw compute power, such as mining a cryptocurrency, to determine who wins conflicts. A kind of 'abstract' power.

Were this ever to actualize in any way, it would be good for countries to begin developing a semiconductor overmatch. Let alone any other need to ensure compute superiority.

This is what's up. Buy a small Intel NUC, a USB-C combo Blueray & DVD player, and watch any service / play any content without the ridiculousness.

Spectres are reasonable TVs. Screen tech hasn't improved drastically for the last few years, and streaming quality hasn't had any major facelifts outside the frameworks we know and love -- don't let anyone fool you otherwise. Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc., all stream comparably to one another.

Ah yes -- the em-dash. I will +1 this.
