You can use a USB hub dongle which passes through power via USB C with a Google TV (4K) device. That’s what I do for mine to connect it to the rest of my GbE VLAN via wired ethernet connection and avoid Wi-Fi packet drops when streaming or casting 4K HDR content. A dongle is also handy to connect any USB web cam so I can use the TV for large family video calls with the grandparents in the living room, via Android apps like Google Meet or Zoom.

Here is the one I use that also has a combo headphone jack with GbE Ethernet and passthrough charging, so also nice for Moonlight gaming on modern android 120Hz HDR tablets where I don’t want to use low bitrate HFP Bluetooth for discord calls while also listening to game audio and music. Note, when used with the Google TV, I don’t use the USB Hub’s HDMI, opting for the Google TV’s international cord to maintain Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) functionality.

Anker 655 USB-C Hub (8-in-1), with 2 USB-A 10 Gbps Data Ports, 100W Power Delivery, 4K HDMI, 1 Gbps Ethernet, microSD and SD Card Slots, 3.5 mm AUX, for MacBook, and More (Charcoal Gray) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MF6TJLW

Can you listen to music or watch a movie while on a discord call using the hands-free microphone in your Bluetooth headset? Full duplex audio still halves the nominal bitrate for both the microphone and media playback audio; same as when the HSP/HFP protocols we’re first showcased in 1999. It’s ridiculous, especially now that very few flagship devices still include a headset jack.

Awesome to hear, and thanks for the citations! Much appreciated.

Besides the number of greater features that sunshine has added, are there any performance benchmarks to compare the two? Like for 4K HDR @ 120Hz in terms of latency or efficiency in the graphics capture pipelines? Always figured Nvidia could be leveraging their proprietary driver APIs more effectively given they can optimize and control the entire graphics pipeline, end to end.

You should cross post this c/science_memes ! Instead of cooking the average paper for call deadline, it’s nice to publish something funny every once in a while.

Just like modern cars… I wish there was some kind legislation that would limit phone-home telemetry to emergency service telecommunication frequencies, and be opt-in only. That way any OEM operating under commercial cellular frequencies would thus be unlicensed, and subject to FCC violations and import bans. Like what OnStar was originally pitched as; only auto dialing to 911, and 911 only, if you were unresponsive after airbags deployed. OEM couldn’t use the telecommunication frequencies for anything other than networking with emergency service endpoints on the same VLAN.

Anything recorded by the vehicle would be required to stay on the vehicle due privacy regulations, like the black box recorder for warranted forensic investigations. OTA updates could also be distributed offline for users to download and flash via USB, like any motherboard bios, so transactions would be write only.

Before your comment, I thought I recognized this person, but could remember from where. Then your hint referencing TwoSetViolin helped me recall this is Hilary Hahn. Haven’t seen that channel in while, hope she still does those fun informal guest appearances.

What? I’m using neon with Nvidia’s v550 driver right now. I’ll try switching switching to v555 driver as linked in OP via apt once it available through Nvidia’s (compatible) debian repos for Ubuntu.

https://neon.kde.org ? Not sure if it’s received this patch yet, but it ships the latest version of KDE 6.

Are the two Linux devices on the same IP subnet?
Are any of the other KDE connect features working?

I’m surprised I couldn’t yet find a dummy HDMI plug to spoof a 4K@120Hz capable display. All the ones I’ve found thus far only support 120Hz at 1080p, and never any HDR support at all. I have an OLED android device with 2K screen and matching refresh rate, but the without a physical monitor to stream capturing from. Emulating such display resolutions and colored depths also seems just as formidably challenging.

Aside from my PC, the newest device I own is only a snapdragon 8 gen 1 soc device, which I think sadly doesn’t have a hardware AV1 decider. Definitely a consideration for later upgrades.

Any recommendations for fine tuning Sunshine to match Nvidia’s local Gamestream? I haven’t had much luck in getting Sunshine to run as smoothly at 4K 120Hz HDR 150Mbps via LAN as Nvidia’s deprecated streaming server software, so have to slow to migrate over.

Also, no one like to sit with their back to the walkway corridor, with other guests and staff constantly squeezing past and behind your seat.

It feels like we’re finally, and thankfully, coming full circle. I remember buying my first digital camera in the early 2000s, specifically chosen because it was one of the many that included USB web camera functionality. Aside from downloading the photos on its internal storage, external storage was optional, you could also use the included software to serve as a webcam source.

I can’t remember if it included a microphone, I’m thinking it didn’t. It also ran off on those small stubby film camera batteries, and not off USB power from the cable you connected it to, which was kind of dumb, and made it expensive to use as a webcam. The video quality must have been something around 140p, and any kind of conference call software was garbage back then as well. Yet the premise of a single device having multi-use features was such a no-brainer, given you already had have the PC USB integration to use it as a point and shoot digital camera.

Modern smart phones have such excellent cameras, it felt really odd that you had to use a lot of hacky work arounds and reencoding over network streams to emulate the same functionality that some of the first affordable digital cameras on the market had decades prior. I spend some time looking into weather a custom Linux kernel could be used with Android to emulate the standard USB profile of a UVC camera device, but it’s really nice to hear that this kind of functionality is being pushed through Android mainstream development.

Guess it only took a pandemic and Apple to showcase the same functionality to spur the core Android development into gear to match feature parity.

The four eyed fish trivolously gives it away, cuz that ain’t no flounder. Also, what cat in its right mind would be stealing a scavenged kill without it tightly secured in its jaws while on the run, let alone clinging a fish to its chest like an anthropomorphic cartoon?

The wide angle composition is kind of cool though, but I prefer photos of real cats.

I do as well. I really appreciate the information density, key bindings, and optional web UI. Although I found if I leave glance is running for a prolonged amount of time, it has a tendency to crash from some python issue I haven’t dissected yet, as it takes so much time to reproduce.
