Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. - Carl Sagan.

Just got an email from Google saying my plan now includes 5TB storage at no extra cost.

At first I was like… okay cool, that’s actually pretty nice.

But then I started thinking about it a bit more.

Storage probably costs them almost nothing, but for me it’s a big deal. And once I actually start using that much space, I’m not gonna want to go back. Moving everything somewhere else later would be a pain.

So it kinda feels like one of those things where it looks generous, but it also makes you depend on it more over time.

Not saying it’s a bad thing, I’ll probably use it anyway. Just found it interesting.

Anyone else got this? And do you think there’s actually a strategy behind it or am I just overthinking?

So I got tired of hitting the daily limit on Cloud AI way too fast. The limit per account feels pretty low, especially if you use it a lot. As a workaround, I started cloning the app and using multiple instances. Now, whenever one reaches the limit, I just switch to another. Currently running about 6 cloned versions 😅 Honestly, it’s been a game changer for me.

Are you guys doing something similar?

Or do you have a better workaround? Let’s share ideas 👇

Advanced Media Controller — beta with PlayerTabs UI (app pinning), rotating vinyl art, slider sync, GNOME 40–50

Been reworking a lot of the internals lately and pushed a beta branch with the current state. This one focuses more on stability and making things behave properly across setups, along with a refreshed PlayerTabs UI.

what’s new

• PlayerTabs UI (with app pinning)
  updated tab layout with support for pinning your preferred players. makes switching faster if you usually stick to the same apps. switching logic itself is also more reliable now across flatpak, snap, appimage, etc.

• rotating vinyl album art
  album covers now render like a vinyl disc and rotate with playback. simple effect, but fits nicely without being distracting.

• progress slider tweaks
  better sync with playback, smoother updates. no more random jumps or lagging behind.

compatibility

• GNOME 40 → 50 supported

kept support for older GNOME versions (40–48) on purpose. a lot of distros like debian or zorin are still on those, so dropping support there didn’t feel right. trying to keep it usable across both older and newer shells.

• tested on mixed setups, not just one environment

fixes

• fixed memory leaks (mostly signal handling + cleanup issues)
• improved player detection reliability
• cleaned up parts of the code to align better with GNOME extension guidelines
• small performance improvements overall

• beta: https://github.com/Sanjai-Shaarugesh/Advanced-media-controller/tree/beta
• extension page: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/9184/advanced-media-controller/

note

this is still beta, so expect some rough edges depending on your setup. if something breaks or behaves weirdly with a specific player, logs or details would help a lot.

if you’ve been using it already, this build should feel more stable and a bit more predictable overall.

please refer to these images, and let me know your thoughts on what could be causing high temps.

Has anyone bought a Roku TV or Roku TV stick in India? I know Roku is big in the US, but there’s very little information or reviews about it here. It seems cheaper than Fire TV, but I’m not sure if it works well in India.

Just average usage nothing specific.

What in the surveillance hell is this?

I get ping of around 5-8ms on average on selected websites(Apple/Youtube/Google ). I tested it on Leased Line Interned provided by VI in Pune.

What is your least ping and the ISP ?

This is the official bait for resolving the ever unresolved truth. Drop your jam.
