Who needs testing when apologizing to your customers is cheaper?

I'd hope that it's based on calendar months. Wouldn't invoices that span multiple years make things a lot more complicated in terms of accounting in general?

As far as UI/UX is concerned their tvOS app is in a really rough shape. The web UI has a fairly reasonable program guide (edit: for Live TV), while the app doesn't. Also navigation in the app doesn't feel polished at all unfortunately.

Doesn’t the ESP32 have internal pull-up resistors, thereby making that extra resistor unnecessary?

Maybe that‘s been their strategy all along? I.e. demand the impossible and then back down to more „reasonable“ prices to appease the masses.

A request for a list of personal data they’re processing would be interesting. How would they even comply with such a request?

You won't need people for that once AI systems start improving themselves.

I've been looking at their website for the past 10 minutes or so and I still don't know what _exactly_ this does.

It seems like this is a local firewall (remember ZoneAlarm of the '00s with all the alerts about connections it has blocked?) paired with a VPN.

Didder is fantastic. I'm using it to convert images to grayscale for use with Waveshare e-ink displays. I've found no other tool that both lets you specify a custom palette (without which the resulting image looks pretty bad) and is reasonably quick.

For future reference, this works beautifully with their 9.7" display: didder --palette '000000 111111 222222 333333 444444 555555 666666 777777 888888 999999 aaaaaa bbbbbb cccccc dddddd eeeeee ffffff' -g -i - -o - edm --serpentine FloydSteinberg
