A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I really like how Kodi let's you send text to the media centre from your phone keyboard using an app.

Quite incredible that so many modern streaming interfaces are still using the horrid arrow keys to punch in letters like its a 1990s game console.
