Noice, so presumably these are other people within your town/city? I’m sorry, I just think this is cool af.

Have you been able to communicate with anyone else on the mesh network?

I’m not even talking 4k, literally just 1080p—most streaming services won’t stream above 720p in a web browser.

to simplify the whole interaction

and watch video in full HD.

Does this ancient macbook pro still receive OS updates? Separate but related for purposes of choosing hardware. Thanks!

I know the point is to reduce waste and combat software driven planned obsolescence, but given the circumstances, is there any way for me to score an extra laptop on the cheap? In other words, come October should I look for a deluge of old Windows 10 laptops on eBay or Salvation Army or something?

Looks like OP updated the title after the other commenter had commented.

It just works (on my machine)

ftfy

I figured this was the answer. It still makes me sad that I can’t legitimately stream content from the major streaming services in full HD on a regular laptop.

1080p all day. It’s a normal PC after all.

Right, but which streaming services are you watching?

So when you wanna watch Hulu or HBO, you just open up a web browser, go to the Hulu/HBO site, and play the content in the web browser in full HD? No bullshittery around limiting the playback to 720p in a browser?

Thinking out loud, is it possible to load the apps themselves (YouTube TV, Netflix, etc) onto Linux using an Android emulator?

Does your use case include watching content from Netflix and/or Hulu?

Piggy backing on this post to ask those running a mini-PC on their TV: How tf did you get content to actually stream in full HD? Whenever I try to use the web browser to watch hockey games through YouTube TV, or some random show through Netflix, I’m limited to 720p. Is there a workaround for this?

ETA I’m aware of an agent spoofer extension in Firefox, but it hasn’t solved this problem in my experience.

Dope. What game are we looking at in that photo?

That is cool, thanks for describing your setup. I currently have a single 1440p monitor and love having more real estate than a single 1080p screen, but have often longed for a second screen, even a 1080p screen in portrait mode perhaps, idk.

So your computer desk is in your living room and you just move the chair out of the way when you want to watch TV from the couch?

Are you gaming on that screen, video editing, or something else? Just curious about the use case for the 40 incher. I feel like I’d be in a neck brace w/ all that real estate.

IGFS when?

I can see how the “manual” workflow might be preferable to some, so I’d say this app is a good rec nonetheless, thanks!

One thing, though—I noticed East and West are flipped on the map, and I haven’t played with it enough to ascertain why that is. Is this by design?

EDIT: I guess this orientation makes sense if I orient myself facing south and looking up, in which case east would be to my left and everything inside the circle represents what is visible to me from that time and location, right?
