Here is the desktop set up on the Mango Pi Pro #RISCV #SBC. As mentioned earlier it is running minimal #LXDE on top of a vanilla install of #Ubuntu server 24.10.

I have peeled back a few things, such as audio since the basic Ubuntu install does not have the stuff to run #HDMI #audio (I could do look into this more but eh). I will do some more tinkering with the ISO from the official Mango Pi website. Lets see how that goes

Thought of you, @geerlingguy when I watched this:

I don't recall you dabbling with direct #hdmi capturing, but the cross-arch usage caught my attention.

Just upgraded one of my #C64 with a newly published #HDMI extension "#HD64" that replaces the RF modulator and provides some features for digital displays (e.g. changing the C64's colour palette):

China develops its own HDMI alternative GPMI

China's GPMI connection is faster than Thunderbolt 5 and charges devices with twice the power. Huawei and other manufacturers see it as an alternative to HDMI.

#HDMI-Konkurrenz #GPMI:

»Wurden bislang die Standards für die Entwicklung der ganzen Elektronik-Branche mehrheitlich von westlichen Gremien auf Englisch diskutiert, niedergelegt, lizenziert etc. […] Jetzt beginnt China in der Computer/Multimedia-Branche Standards zu setzen.
Wenn das Fahrt aufnimmt, sehen wir hierzulande sehr doof aus. Ich kenne in meinem Bekanntenkreis nur einen Sinologen, der ist aber in Kultur-/Wirtschaftsthemen unterwegs.«

Anyone tried an hdmi industrial camera on a lever-arm stand with a suitable lens as an #ElectronicMagnifier - and the image displayed on a suitable tv / monitor?

I can see everything I want on aliexpress - except for the lens.

Which lens is going to let me view around a A4 / foolscap area?

Most of these setups are being used as microscopes with lenses giving around 150X magnification. Far too much for reading a book.

Dear #HDMI,

*blink* *blink*

I —

*blink* *blink* [SIGNAL LOST, GOING TO SLEEP MODE]

*blink*

— hate you.

I’ve got #CEC over #HDMI (#Anynet+ on #Samsung TV) so my #AppleTV #SiriRemote powers the ︎TV box, TV, and #Onkyo receiver adjusts receiver volume, and operates the ︎TV normally (as shown in the photo).

On occasion, the settings to do this in the ︎TV disable. It initially all powers up but then only the ︎TV can be shut off (not the TV or receiver) and no volume control. And this setting in the ︎TV menus can’t be re-enabled. Only way to fix is to pull the power for everything and plug back in.

Do I know anyone who's ever tried to capture an ARM-based #apple #Mac using a capture card? I am running into the dreaded #HDCP issues that seem to be common with these and google's failing me for a solution.
Does using a #HDMI splitter still work for these cases or is there some kind of fancy tool to just disable HDCP for the duration? I'm not planning on capturing copyrighted material, it's just that this is on by default universally on macs for ... a reason that escapes me but I'm sure is very forward-thinking, magical and revolutionary. #streaming #contentCreation #hacks

Yo, you #linux'oids out there! There is no "black out main display in fullscreen" option in #VLC, like on #mac version of VLC, right?

Is there a workaround? Other than dimming the display manually.

It's an old machine, function keys don't work very well. Rather have it done automatically when starting a movie on #HDMI display.
