Is it an LG though? The APIs I’m using are WebOS specific

Do you need a Github link? Assuming recent-ish LG, should he the same.

I have a lot of custom stuff, esp. regarding HomeAssistant integrations. But my favorite “stupid/not stupid if it works” solution is the following:
I have an LG TV and attached Nvidia Shield. The Shield is the only input we ever use on the TV, and since its remote also can turn the TV on/off and control volume, its all we need. Which is pretty neat, only one remote.
Except for image settings (i.e. proper bright picture during the day, different less bright image mode during the night). I don’t want to keep the extra remote on the couch just for that, but unfortunately, these settings are not exposed via HDMI CEC.
They are, however, exposed via a web API on LG TVs. So my utterly stupid solution is this:
- install quick actions app on the shield
- reconfigure Netflix button on the shield remote to open quick actions popup
- add two quick actions, night and day, that curl simple HTTP endpoints on a VM I set up
- on the VM, a simple flask server listens, and then sends the (too complex for the quick actions app) API request to the TV.
(I feel the need to add: the TV is in an isolated subnet and has never once communicated with the internet, and it will damn well die an internet virgin.)
Anyways, this has been working flawlessly for 2+ years! I also have toggles in HA for the same endpoints, but honestly, never use them. It’s so nice to just be able to toggle the image via remote.

Despite having a native Linux build, BAR is the one thing keeping my GF on windows. BAR runs flawlessly for her on windows, it runs flawlessly for me on Linux, but on her GPU on Linux, it has less than 3fps, both in the menu and the game. (Have already tried a shitton of fixes, nothing helped.)

The Magus Circle seems like a fantastic concept.
Also I wonder how long it takes for someone to come up with a mod for it that forces/lets your practice kanji lol

Amazing. She’s a great role model.

Ah! Finally! Something where I can look up at the sky and go:
What would Janeway do…?
without people looking at me like I’m a weirdo and that wasn’t what everyone does when faced with difficult questions.

Do you then also proceed to install the client 20 times? Or do you constantly log in and out? Sounds like a hassle that federation would solve!
- Comment on Some questions before probably getting a Steam Deck 1 year ago:
If you are at all familiar with / interested in NixOS, there’s Jovian-NixOS which essentially duplicates the SteamOS experience 1:1 (much more closely than, say, Bazzite imo), but allows you to easily switch to a different desktop environment like Gnome with just a single config option.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - June 2024 2 years ago:
I STILL haven’t finished NieR:Replicant.
Maybe this week.
- Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much? 2 years ago:
Currently, no. But I also haven’t opened a game on my PC in months, since that time sadly has to go towards my Master’s thesis. But ever since I got the deck, I have heavily used it. It’s easier to pick up and put down than the same game on PC, so I just do (did) more frequently.
