I just use adguard as my DNS on my phone, blocks out most, not all ads!

Functionality is not limited to the browser, ads are also blocked in freemium type apps.

I also use the same DNS on my router so that I dont have to configure each device on the network.

App feels slick, but I feel that it needs an option to cast the music to a speaker(or google home device). I know I can connect to it via bluetooth but a native integration would be nice!


Can you share a link to that electronics course? I am also kind of in the same boat right now. I need to use off the shelf components mainly Pi Pico and a seperate module.

Specifically, I want to get RP2040 or the newer RP2350 with another module onto a single PCB. Currently I am soldering the pins between the two modules.

I assume this should be fairly trivial since soldering and having two seperate off the shelf PCBs is what I want to eliminate.

Following this discussion!


Hey! I’m not an electronics expert myself, and unfortunately, the course I’m taking isn’t available online. However, designing a custom PCB can definitely help you avoid soldering between separate boards. If you’re new to PCB design, tools like KiCad or Eagle are great for creating your layout. There are plenty of tutorials available that cover integrating modules and designing PCBs that could be really helpful for your project.


Do you mind sharing the guide? I am already on the "Apps Only Mode", but I still get the full banner ads on the home screen.


> It constantly offers me new music, artists with few thousands followers that are interesting and relevant.

Are they though? Is it not in spotify's best interests to stuff your discover weekly with cheap(to them) music?

I have been holding on to spotify and each monday I have been saving my DW playlists (120+ weeks and counting), but lately it has been filled with cover songs and songs that are not very relevant. I am hardly adding any songs to my favourites from the DW playlist these days, this is in contrast from earlier when I would generally favourite a few songs atleast each week from the DW playlist.

Currently I am considering Zoho Billing which is included in the broader suite of Zoho One. It is also available standalone.

It keeps things nice and tax compliant in my country, so that reduces overhead for me.

Apart from the major players like stripe and paypal, also consider checking out Lago.

I wish there was an option to export the conversation.


Thanks, our team weighed this, but decided for mvp, not to store any of chats people engage with Ella. This is a great feature we'll put on our roadmap as it's been asked for by some other folks. Appreciate you sharing.


If anyone is exploring options, Windows 10 IoT LTSC has official support till 2032. Added benefit is that it doesnt come with preloaded bloatware from MS.

I have recently installed W11 IoT LTSC on a 3rd gen Intel, the TPM requirement in this version is optional.


The problem with LTSC is that it is very hard/impossible to get it legally as an individual. You can do it in unofficial way but that has its own problems.


It's not that hard. Give CDW a call. You'll need to setup a volume licensing agreement, which means buying at least 5 licenses, but there's some $10 licenses you won't use if you need filler. Also, this is an upgrade license, you need an underlying windows license on each PC to upgrade it.

Too much $ for me, I'm just using home/pro.

That is a different product. LSTC != IoT LSTC, it is so confusing. To get the IoT you have to sign lots of contracts, Microsoft sends you stickers to put on each stuff, stuff like that.


There is no W11 IoT LTSC or Windows 11 LTSC in general, so I'm curious what you installed (likely a leaked preview / insiders build of some kind?)


From the massgrave website FAQ:

    When is the release date for Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC?

    It will be officially released in 2nd half of 2024, more info. Download links will
    be shared here. Insider build ISO for Windows 11 LTSC has been leaked but we
    recommend not installing it for general use because its authenticity can not be
    verified.

    Update - 24-May-2024
    Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2 is released to OEMs. We got the official links
    from OEM portal, and it's added [here].


You can probably download it if you have a Visual Studio Professional or Enterprise subscription. VS Professional costs about $1,100 for the first year, and about $750/year after that. You get access to all MS software BUT you can only use it to develop software. You cannot use it in production.


I do have the Enterprise subscription, which is how I know that this product wasn't launched yet. There is a "Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, Version 23H2" and the usual "Windows 11 business/consumer editions, version 23H2", but nothing with LTSC.



As one of the other comments mentioned W11 IoT LTSC was released quite recently, 24H2 I belive. It is a legit general availability release obtained from the same website.


did you manage to obtain a second hand key?

The activation scripts are open source and available on github.

I personally take the HWID route, which you only need to do it once and the license persists between disk wipes and clean reinstalls.


lambda stack has fixed this to a great extent apparently, did you get a chance to try it?


I saw it but haven’t gotten the chance yet
