    Wow I just built something very much like this. For Album artwork I recommend iTunes Artwork Finder[1], which can pull high res artwork from anything on iTunes. "Under the Pink" is…

    They don’t have to return the ETH, they agreed to return the ETH. 9 of 13 of the leaders of the (centralized) org have to agree to be able to move funds back to the people, there’s…

    Pieces snap together when moving passed each other, even if they aren't both in front. I just had a lot of fun exploiting this by stacking all the pieces on top of each other and t…

    When did you do this comparison? A couple years ago I did a comparison and found Google the best and Amazon to be not very good. Agree it’s best to skip tesseract unless the free c…

    How long ago did you try it? I had a similar experience with Home Assistant a couple years ago, but they’ve made a ton of progress on UX recently. I still wouldn’t recommend for a …

    I imagine there's some exaggeration here, but someone drove across the US in 25 hours averaging 110 MPH [1]. Given that, 143MPH for 2 hours doesn't seem that crazy. [1] https://en.…
