It would make more sense for microsoft to partner with some hardware vendor and release a modified version of windows 11. With a nice mobile-optimized GUI, integration for the most popular game stores and an optional desktop mode.

If Microsoft really wants to get in the mobile gaming sector, why don’t they even have a working protoype to show? The article claims that it is still “a few years away” at this point.

Doesn’t sound like they really have high ambitions.

I like it :) Can you provide a link to the sensors you used?

You‘re supposed to host this yourself.

Set the DNS cache time to 60 seconds.

Set the script to run on every host delayed by some time to avoid simultaneously accessing the API (e.g. run the script every other minute).

With this approach, you get automatic failover in at most 3 minutes.

I’d host it on both webservers. The script sets the A record to all the servers that are online. Obviously, the script als has to check it’s own service.

It seems a little hacky though, for a business use case I would use another approach.

OP said that they have a static website, this eliminates the need for session sync.

Your challenge is that you need a loadbalancer. By hosting the loadbalancer yourself (e.g. on a VPS), you could also host your websites directly there…

My approach would be DNS-based. You can have multiple DNS A records, and the client picks one of them. With a little script you could remove one of the A Records of that server goes down. This way, you wouldn’t need a central hardware.

Looks like a small release, but has some IMO pretty interesting changes, like

Allow users to view their own removed/deleted communities

and

Add backend check to enforce hierarchy of admins and mods

This kind of spam is luckily pretty rare in europe, I get maybe one or two spam calls a year.

The article says that the influence on battery usage is low. But the higher resolution might result in a higher power draw.

For a start, try hosting something in your own home. A raspberry or an older PC or laptop should be enough.

My first projects were a print server (so I can print via wifi) and a file server. Try to find something that is useful for you.

Only start hosting on the internet when you’ve learned the basics and have more experience.

It seems like a tedious workflow, but the end result is quite good.

Interesting. What is tge reasoning behind only fetching the comments vs. a full fediverse integration?

Maybe because many streaming services have locked their 4k content behind some specific apps and platforms and offer lower resolutions on general desktop PCs.

Generally, we (sadly) see smart monitors come up like smart TVs did ten years ago.

Some noteable features include streaming apps (netflix…) and wireless screen mirroring from phones.

This graphic shows that the platform is designed with full virtualization in mind. You can see that the VM on the right has its own kernel (unlike for example docker containers).

Edit: image source

I don’t think so. I think they are trying to make android more suitable for “desktop” usage, similar to chrome os.

By providing a gui for larger screens (Android 15) and virtualization (Android 16) they are significantly expanding what android can do.

As for me, I just visit this site to see the next sales. But it’s a neat idea

Sounds a bit like the linux container in chromebooks. Looks like Google is planning to merge chrome os and android in future
