why would you do that? (unless for the fun of it)

Just to get an idea of its capabilities.

Imagine installing Claude Code in it with full root access. Just by asking a few things, you can have a semi-broken ESP32 doing stuff.

is there anything else to it than the cassette 3d thing?

Yes, after hitting and/or holding spacebar, something happens, or you change to a new year. Sometimes it's just pictures with some text of whatever was important at that year, sometimes it's animations, sometimes stuff you can interact(?) with. In 1995, there is an old Desktop-PC with Windows 95 booting and starting a modem-connection, and you can type on the keyboard. Pretty pointless, but kinda neat.

Check your ad blockers. I needed to switch off the one blocking the gdpr consent banner

You have to keep the spacebar pressed

So it doesn't work on phones apparently.

There is a "hold to rewind" button on the bottom in mine (ios).

Ah thanks, it was just my ad blocker who blocked it.

True simulation of 1996 browsing

That's all I see too: an ugly rendered cassette thing I can spin.

It would be very fitting if it didn't work on Firefox: a sign of the growing enshittification of the Web.

I use firefox and it works for me

OK. Good to know. Thanks!

What are we supposed to do, and what is supposed to happen?

>everyone has moved on to using shadcn's system for components

shadcn only works in react, tailwind works everywhere

looking at their partner list, which is 5000$ a month, and theres 16 partners, thats minimun 80k$ a month. just an insight.

It would appear that they pay their employees fairly well, as seen in this old job posting [1] (not all levels will make this much of course but it gives you a general idea, almost 300k a year is a lot even for a staff engineer).

$275,000 is almost $23,000 a month. Take that times N amount of employees, and other business overhead, and suddenly $80k a month is literally peanuts.

Do you think they’d survive?

i have no idea, even less in usa, but with 80k a month income you could def pay for a dev team and infra in some countries.

i use it for my jellyfin and it just works, been months like this

seems like malwarebytes uses mullvad for its vpn service.

Yes and they’re very transparent about it.

id say is a fairly niche use case, people tend to disconnect outside when going on vacation not watch netflix from the hotel.

I like to travel, in particular road trips and disconnecting is often part of that. Even then, I'm not much of a nightlife person so will often still watch TV for a couple hours at night before bed.

camera control is non existant, you just go and game chooses what you see. let me control the camera please
