If you get the right adapter, I've seen others get HDMI CEC working.

However, quality of life features like sleep/hibernate don't work at all on this system. I've also seen people use an ESP32 to power on the system with a bluetooth controller which is pretty neat especially if you combined that with CEC.


I just added CEC to mine today by soldering some wires to my DP-to-HDMI adapter and having Claude write some firmware to run on a Pi Pico to inject the CEC messages at the right time.

It's not the most elegant solution but felt in the spirit of the whole BC-250 experience.


This is why the Steam Machine is worth its money (or, well, what it would have cost if RAM hadn't gone to the sky). Getting 90% of the nice-to-haves costs $200, but getting 100% costs $1000.

"It just works" is expensive.


Unfortunately I don't have the tools to measure the power draw directly from the outlet.

But the software reports 30-45W power draw when the systems at max load. However lower-end titles and idle draw hovers between 10W-20W.


I would absolutely not buy assuming this. People used to work hard to get 70W at the socket idle. Things have gotten better, much better, but at the socket those sound like miracle numbers.


Those absolutely are miracle numbers and don’t seem remotely accurate. What does the wall report?

I remember people were saying this IDLES at like 80w wall, I’m sure it’s been optimised, but 35w at load is super unlikely


Yeah, it's a curse for all of us that are into tech haha


Set the refresh rate of your display to 24hz that should completely eliminate the stutter that you see if 24 FPS.

This is an example of judder, matching the refresh rate to the frame rate gets rid of it.


Sure any kind of frame rate conversion makes it worse, but lots of 24fps footage has visible judder. The camera can pan fast and the frame rate is too low to show fluidly.

It’s part of the 24fps look, and film makers need to be aware and avoid it as best they can. But judder is definitely a thing at 24fps.

The shutter angle (how much of the 1/24th of a second the film/sensor is exposed for) also makes a difference. The larger it is the more motion blur you get, but it looks smoother. The lower it is the less blur in each frame, but the more obvious the judder as they’re played back.


Yeah Ranger is awesome.

Supposedly you can install lf using scoop on Windows. lf is a remake of ranger in go. It has all the same bindings and functions the same way.

Hopefully this helps :)


Just applied some of these changes to my own site. https://plug-world.com/posts/css-template/

body{font-family:sans-serif;font-size:1.1em;max-width:600px;margin:0 auto;padding:0 8px}a{color:#06c}

Thanks for the inspiration, I threw together my own spin on it.
