I still haven’t charged my Steam Controller since I got it. It’s run all that time from the factory charge it had. It’s unreal.

Steam Deck price rises are _wild_… I love my Deck, but I’d rather get an Xbox ROG Ally X for that lineup and install Bazzite.

Been thinking about how much of gaming accessibility depends on the console maker or the studio deciding to implement something. Plenty don&#39;t. If you&#39;re blind and want to play something on a console then even the menus are a blocker at times. I&#39;ve got an app that controls LG TVs and just added a new feature that screenshots my LG TV over the network, and another that describes images out loud. Chained them in a Shortcut on my phone and now I can point at anything on the...

So just submitted new versions for macOS and iOS together, as the previous macOS build finally went in to review after 6 days and was approved in around 30 minutes… iOS is now in review again, just 1 hour later. Hopefully the macOS version take 6 days again. #iOS #AppReview #macOS

Built a HUD plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI. Shows your model, context window usage, git branch, and live tool activity, right at the bottom of your terminal. No more scrolling up to check how much context you&#39;ve used or what tools are running. It’s just two commands to install, and it’s open source. https://github.com/griches/copilot-hud Inspired by claude-hud ❤️ #Copilot #OpenSource #AI

Just shipped v1.1.0 of copilot-hud - my status line plugin for GitHub Copilot CLI now tracks background agents. When Copilot spawns subagents, they show up in the HUD with live timers and status: ◐ [explore] Analyze test coverage (45s…) ✓ [task] Check git status (3s) ✗ [general-purpose] Parse config (1m 12s) You can now see running, completed, or failed at a glance. https://www.github.com/griches/copilot-hud #Copilot #Github #OpenSource #AI #CLI

My dad is partially sighted with poor motor control. He likes audiobooks but every player I tried had tiny buttons and too many screens. I’ve now made this one. Two screens, big controls, high contrast. When I want to send him a new book, I just text him a link — he taps it and the book appears in his library. It always comes back to the last book he was playing, ready to play again. The settings are configurable via a link too. This is very much made for my exact specific needs with him...

I’ve added a couple of more audio themes to Hanenbow, “deep” and “crystal”. This is Deep: https://www.bouncingball.mobi/hanenbow/#GtbdyRVL4KEhjTax2Z2olYMoRNAslsPNBVZNZS6MS5slNGqMngUM #Nintendo #Retrogaming

I built an open source command line tool for controlling LG webOS TVs. Scan your network, pair with a PIN, and then you can control power, volume, apps, inputs, and more from the terminal. Designed it to work well with AI assistants so they can control your TV through natural language. Also handy for scripting and home automation. If you want a proper remote app instead, Smart Remote+ is on iOS and Android. https://github.com/griches/lgtvremote-cli https://www.bouncingball.mobi/lgtvremote/...

Finished Resident Evil: Requiem. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and just in time for Crimson Desert.

You can now switch HDMI inputs by name - “lgtv input ps5” instead of remembering which HDMI port is which. Labels are cached from the TV automatically with no extra setup needed. Custom aliases supported too. https://github.com/griches/lgtvremote-cli...

I live at the very top of a tall hill and our house currently has some scaffolding on to fix a roof problem. After the workers had all gone home I jumped on a wall, and got on to their scaffolding and went right up to roof. The view from there was beautiful.

I’ve loved the look of OpenClaw but have been somewhat apprehensive to install it. I just wanted some basic Apple service MCPs, so I’ve made some. Claude can now: • Read/create Notes • Send/search iMessages • Manage Contacts • Add/check Reminders • Read/add Calendar events • Read/send Mail • Search in Maps Each app is its own package and it’s all open source https://github.com/griches/apple-mcp #macOS #Apple #AI #Claude #OpenSource #MCP #OpenClaw

My work colleague just made a £60 profit on his 2022 CPU. PC component prices are absolute madness right now.

If you ask any AI for the same thing twice you’re likely to get a slightly different result. This is proved really beneficial in making the android version of my Smart Remote+ app. I had a fully feature featured and complete iOS version when I decided to use AI to build an Android equivalent, referencing the structure and functionality of the iOS version as a base. Within an hour, I had a version for Android phones that had parity - minus a wearable version - with the iOS version, and in a...

Loving Resident Evil 9. I own all of them but have only finished around half. Sometimes they don’t grab my attention and fall off, but 8 did a great job, and 9 is too.

Found a Steam Controller at CEX. Never seen one in real life before. Feels like something AI dreamt up.
