So #Jellyfin on Android wasn't working great for casting from the #RaspberryPi to #ChromecastAudio. I tinkered with my Linux laptop and got mkchromecast working with Strawberry to cast perfectly.

I probably could have just used the web interface for Jellyfin on the laptop, but that would have been too easy.

Now this is strange.

I just installed #fedora #bluefin on a laptop, and one of the #chromecastaudio device appears as an output, without me doing any configuration. The other chromecast speakers are not shown.

I would very much not have this speaker, but I don’t know how to disable it.

I thought this might have been connected to via bluetooth, but even with bluetooth disabled, the speaker is still shown.

But last year Microsoft started to adding features like a spell checker (useful), and an AI-powered Rewrite utility that lets you lengthen, shorten, or adjust the tone of text (ugh).

Now Microsoft is rolling out more AI features to members of the Windows […]

Lilbits: Google Pixel 10 could be a triple-camera phone

The folks at Android Headlines have published a series of articles showing the anticipated design of the upcoming Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL. For the most part the Pro phones look nearly identical to their Pixel 9 counterparts.
