Does anyone have or know of archives of firmware files? I need a specific file
  • I found this site, pakphones.com with a link for the US730. Right now, unfortunately, cloudflare can't reach the ul.to host, but if you haven't tried this one, one could hope it actually works some day.

    I also found a (possibly dead) link at this site, lg-firmwares.com, though it's cookie, captcha and waiting time protected, and the download doesn't begin for me right now...

    Your search string also lead me to this forum thread, where I found a relevant filename to look for: LG730ZV8_05.S8_00.P61009.cab

    1-LGExtract -kdz name of flash file with kdz extention(as :LGExtract -kdz US73011b_03.S11b_03.P15107.kdz) 2-result of 1 is a file as: LG730ZV8_05.S8_00.P61009.cab 3-extract [it] by winrar here 4-LGExtract -wdb name of flash file with wdb name of flash file with dll asLGExtract -wdb US73011b_03.S11b_03.P15107.wdb US73011b_03.dll).

    This lead me back to the pakphones blog, where I found these (possibly dead) links to relevant files on this page:

    You have probably already seen all or most of this, but maybe there's some missing puzzle piece somewhere in this information?

    Note: the .cab files mentioned in this post are not URLs, even though (at least my) Lemmy client formats them as that.

  • Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds
  • I thought it was supposed to be an infinite amount of monkeys, since it's known as "infinite monkey theorem", but apparently, according to Wikipedia,

    The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, including the complete works of William Shakespeare. [...]

    [...] can be generalized to state that any sequence of events that has a non-zero probability of happening will almost certainly occur an infinite number of times, given an infinite amount of time or a universe that is infinite in size.

    However, I think, as long as either the timeframe or monkey amount is infinite, it should lead to the same results. So, why even limit one of them on this theoretical level after all?

    The linked study even seems to limit both, so they're not quite investigating the actual classic theorem of one monkey with infinite time, it seems.

  • Sweden, Norway rethink plans for cashless societies over fears that fully digital payment systems would leave them vulnerable to Russian security threats
  • Ok. The fact that you prefer it (probably because the thieve is mostly kind and generous to you) does not change the reality that it very much is theft from all those who might not agree with your societal preferences, and who did never consent to this.

    Since you (or any majority in society) naturally don't have the right to forcefully take other people's money (or property) without their consent, it's impossible to forward that right to the state (or any person) acting on your behalf. It does not matter how good of a deal it is to you or anyone else. That's why it can logically be described as theft when a state collects taxes using violent force as a threat to anyone who won't pay.

  • Has anyone added the VPN to your router, and what has the experience been like?
  • I was just looking at the GL.iNet Flint 2 (GL-MT6000), since it was recommended in a thread on the OpenWRT forum, and thought about possibly getting that one. Is that the one that bricked, or was it an earlier product of the Flint-series of routers?

  • 5th Circuit rules ISP should have terminated Internet users accused of piracy
  • Remember to turn off their sunlight too!

    And while we're at it, let's cut the wind off at their property as well, so they can't generate any local wind power!

    And definitely take away their fruits and zinc and copper, so they can't build their own massive multi-lemon batteries, which they will otherwise rapidly upscale by growing even more lemons, using the same array of lemon-powered LEDs that also grew that weed, all in an infinite loop of lemon kush! We really can't let that happen.

  • I want my smart Android TV to be dumb again
  • by plugging in a HDD I can only record a channel if I'm watching it and not record one channel while watching another

    That actually makes sense if we're talking DVB-[C, S or T] channels received through an internal hardware tuner. A tuner can only tune in on one frequency at once. To record one channel while watching another, it would need to have two internal tuners, which isn't very common and, I'd say, not something to expect unless specifically advertised.

    Also it has developed a fault where it basically shits its self every couple of weeks and the picture pixelates. It needs to be unplugged for a week and plugged back in.

    Warranty?

  • Flappy Bird for Android, only C, under 100KB
  • Right, I forgot to mention that's possible too!

    Thanks for mentioning SunVox, which sent me down a rabbithole of a multitude of interesting software from the same developer. I have even played with the one called PhonoPaper maybe 8 years ago, without knowing of all the other projects! There are many music-related apps, and also PixiVisor that transmits video over audio, which I find fascinating for visual DSP. Seems like next-level SSTV, and would be fun to try over radio - like a LoFi TV signal!

    Unfortunately, it seems that the Android versions of most/all(?) of the projects are outdated, and not supported on my phone's newer version of Android, but other versions probably still work on different OSs.

    The SunVox library for developers (rather than just the JS-based player) seems very interesting to me. If I'm not misunderstanding, it could be used to build some interesting custom browser-based synth GUIs, or behind the scenes for playing live adaptive and/or generative game music+FX. I'll definitely be looking into that sometime, though so far I've only been scratching the surface of software development, but with the help of LLMs I have recently been able to prototype some interesting ideas (music-based games too!) that seemed totally out of my reach before that.

    Feel free to let me know if you ever get around to doing something along the lines of what you were describing. Sounds like a (more) straightforward way of using SunVox to reduce the game size.

  • Flappy Bird for Android, only C, under 100KB
  • "rendering" the music and some of the graphics.

    I think that's what's called procedural audio/graphics. For audio, it's like building synthesizers into the game, to then be able to play the music/fx as a program (sort of like sheet music) instead of an audio file.
