These custom Google TV setups aren’t set-and-forget. System updates will regularly reset the launcher, bring the ads back, or break things. You (or Claude) will have to re-apply the ADB fixes over and over. It’s an ongoing arms race. Same reason no one is going to be vibecoding their own phone.
Eu vibecodei minha TV com a Claude.
Todos os bloatwares pré-instalados e anúncios foram removidos, além disso recriei o OS dela e fiz um design clean inspirado na AppleTV.
~70% menos uso de RAM e interface 3x mais rápida.

The opposite of paranoia isn’t optimism. It’s pronoia, the quiet suspicion that the universe is conspiring in your favor. Lean in to it.

crowdsupply.com/certain-thin… A new iPod mainboard with Bluetooth, USB-C and Apple Music support. Wonder if an entirely new 'iPod' could be made out of 3rd party parts now.

This hit close to home. I don't even use WinRAR anymore but I'm buying a license anyway. @WinRAR_RARLAB
Here's my 30-second spec ad for WinRAR (that nobody asked for).
Okay, perhaps Rourke Heath did.
He shared this fun brief with his GenHQ community last week, and I took it on.
In this experimental project, I wanted to turn one of the internet's longest-running jokes into a subtle family drama about WinRAR's 40-day trial that somehow lasted almost three decades.
Here's how I made it:
After writing the script (the old school way), I worked with ChatGPT 5.6 Sol Max to turn it into a 14,000-character prompt for Seedance 2.5 (yes, Dreamina allows prompts that long).
I used GPT Image 2 to create the reference image for WinRAR's trial screen, while Seed Audio 1.0 generated the audio reference for the full voiceover and dialogue. After 20+ Seedance 2.5 tests at 480p, with the prompt evolving throughout, I generated the final versions at 720p.
I then lightly edited the video and upscaled it to 1080p with Topaz Labs Astra Starlight Precision 2.6. However, the screenshot text didn't survive the upscale (I should have used Astra's scene detection feature and selected a different model for that particular shot), so I recreated it using Seedance 2.0 at 1080p. (I also tried Hailuo H3 and Kling 3.0, but in this particular case, Seedance 2.0 gave me the best overall result in one go.)
For the sound, I selected a solo-instrument soundtrack from Epidemic Sound and added extra sound effects to improve the overall sound design.
And here's the result.
I'm curious to hear what you think.
Did this bring back memories, or is this genuinely your first time hearing about WinRAR? I’d love to know.

This is so cool I don’t even care that the driving physics are pretty primitive.
Goodbye clicking on Google Street View to check out the route!
In your browser, with Hop.Earth you can actually drive anywhere in the world🚀
You can also create multiplayer races🚗🏎🚓
The world is generated ahead of you in real-time from OpenStreetMap data combined with satellite elevation data as you drive.
Just added a WIP of night mode and replaced the placeholder terrain/road textures with some nicer physics-based textures. Also now anywhere you go a million street lights will be added too. This is actually slowly starting to look like the promised Need For Speed + Google Maps
#threejs #gamedev #indiedev
Single player mode:
Just find a location, click anywhere on the map and click "Hop Here". After parachuting down hold X to call the car to the road.
Multiplayer mode:
Click on "Create race" and select start and finish points. A route will be plotted. Click on Share Race to get the link and start racing!

Porsche is attempting a skeuomorphic EV experience. Recreating engine noise and gearshifts to preserve the feel of combustion. The idea is understandable but the taste questionable. Good design should reveal the essence of a thing, not cosplay the old one.
Here's what the new fake gear shifting sounds and looks like in the 2027 Porsche Taycan. It's called "E-Shift".
Porsche: "Drivers can switch between a total of eight simulated gears using paddles on the GT Sport steering wheel. The gear changes are modeled to feel authentic with noticeable gear shift feel, gear-specific drag torque – comparable to the engine braking behavior of a combustion-engined car – and a virtual rev limiter. At the same time, the interior and exterior sound of the Porsche Electric Sport Sound adapts to the respective driving situation depending on the load and wheel speed. The sound tuning varies across the various Taycan derivatives. The system is supplemented by a virtual rev counter and a gear indicator with shift light in the instrument cluster."

"When I got back to Apple 10 years ago, I gave the museum to Stanford - all the papers, all the old machines - kind of cleared out all the cobwebs and said: let's stop looking backwards here. It's all about what happens tomorrow." - Steve Jobs, D5 conference, 2007
