  • There's not really enough information here to go on. A quick search comes back saying bluez is a Bluetooth protocol implementation.

    Are you seeing a device trying to connect to Bluetooth on your Windows machine? Is it a device on the internet trying to connect to your machine?

    Can you post the logs that you're seeing please?

  • From one of your devices can you check what DNS server they are using? It sounds like the router is setting itself as the DNS server. This would mean all your devices would list your router's IP address and the DNS server. This is a different setting than the DNS server that your router is using.

    If that's the case you tell your router to tell your devices to set the DNS server to the IP address of your AdGuard Home device. Alternatively, you can manually set the DNS server on your devices.

  • I've been working on a fun little project, similar to the watch party website, where you can enter a YouTube link and have it synchronised so you can watch and chat with a friend. Very basic functionality at the moment, and I'm hoping to add more functionality over time.

  • I'm not knowledge on this subject in general but I do know that on Android you can turn on the Live Caption feature which uses machine learning to process the audio in real-time and puts captions on the screen. It works (to varying degrees) for anything not just YouTube.

    Is there some kind of service where the community can currently provide captions for YouTube videos and then it's just a matter of putting the two together?

    EDIT: Apparently YouTube also has a feature to automatically caption videos, again using machine learning. It does have to be enabled on the content creator's side. I'm assuming you already know about this but would love to hear from you why this may not be appropriate for you.

  • You just brought back an old memory. I used to use WordWeb dictionary and apparently it's still around. According to the app listing it doesn't collect any data and my memory of it was fully offline anyway. I haven't verified anything myself but may be worth checking out. AFAIK they have apps on every platform.

    Edit:
    WordWeb (every platform)

  • I completely agree and can't recommend this app enough. There's so many things going for it compared to everything else out there. I use it every day also after churning through all the other ones out there and never feeling satisfied. The total app size is like 25MB and doesn't even request the internet permission. With not having the internet permission you don't even have to worry about what data is being sent back to the developer - the answer is none. Despite being incredibly lightweight it's somehow got more features than many other apps, and implemented extremely well.

    It's free but you do get a couple extra advanced features for a small IAP such as a ChromeCast plugin and auto playlists (Most Played etc). Despite not even needing any of the features I paid for the lifetime access simply because I find that much value in this app and when you come across a diamond like this app it makes you want to give back.

  • Of course this is not a good thing. But to entirely prevent being "placed" at the scene of a crime you would never be able to carry a cell phone, drive a car, or even walk/cycle with your face visible. You'd have to leave and enter your house taking special care not to be seen by any cameras, etc

    The point he was making is that if you want to entirely prevent any of these problems, the steps you have to tale are extreme otherwise you're always leaving open a potential security hole.

  • As obscenely wealthy as he is, that wealth comes from bis assets not cash in hand. $20B of the $44B paid was cash, some of which was from selling some of his Tesla shares. Further to that, Tesla stock dropped so significantly it caused his net worth to drop by a further $30B.

  • Maybe only tangentially related but I love MoonReader to read eBooks away from a computer. Of course, how productive this is comes down to which book you read. Even if I'm reading a programming book and I can't write any code or follow along, I can still read ahead on the concepts and then come back to it on a computer and give my brain a better chance of absorbing the information.
