n800 as pc speaker/killer hacks
Categories: Maemo, 191 words2 feedbacks •An exited developer like me invents a killer app every week. Killer apps tend to take more then a week to develop. What remains are cool hacks.
So after reading quims blog I wanted to view the walking internet flash demo on my computer.
The sound om my pc did not work. This happens a lot. Sometimes it is the fresh new kernel that misses the sound module. This time the speakers just where lost.
I asked on irc if the n800 could be used as a pc speaker. the answer was yes. now that is what i call killer hacks. I wish somebody would create a great app for this
