Mullvad has this built into their client

Oh I can download and install apks through the shitty browser on the tv. If there’s a functional app that has an equivalent UX to the Plex TV app I’d be open to trying it.

My gripe with Jellyfin is that there isn’t a functional app for my shitbox Toshiba Amazon TV. I’m open to alternatives but that’s a must for me. Plex is also fairly user friendly which is important for sharing my library with my relatives.

I slogged through the whole thing and now that I’m reading the comments it’s decided to go full crisp hd. A little earlier would have been nice…

I’m sorry but the idea of changing Master/Slave to Manager/Worker is so funny to me.

I’m really tired of hearing “you don’t own it you own a license to it” like it’s some revelation for people complaining. We’re aware that the system has been constructed to benefit media companies at the expense of consumers.

To be honest; I never really bought the argument anyway. From a legal standpoint I don’t give half a shit. From a layman’s standpoint it’s bullshit. Nowhere do they use terms like “rent” or “lease”. They explicitly use terms like “buy” and it’s not until the fine print that the term license even comes up.

They know they’re pissing on you and telling you it’s raining and the goobers doing their legwork by repeating the sentence like they just came up with it annoy me to no end.

In my personal case the reason is because steadily smartphone prices have crept up and up to the point where I’m paying more for a 2 year old Z Fold than I would for a brand new Note 7 on launch day.

Wouldn’t you know, when inflation hurts my wallet, the first thing I cut is unnecessary luxury expenses like the latest Smartphone. I’m due for an upgrade but I’m not inclined to drop 1200 on a new phone when my Note 10+ is running like new.

One thing that I hate about VLC (hasn’t made me drop it in 15 years but alas) is that you can hit E to go forward one frame but there’s no key (nor capacity to set your own) to go back one frame.

Is it a niche use case? Sure probably. But not having the option to set one myself kills me whenever I frameskip one too far and have to shift-left and mash E again.

the sky is just this mushy grey noise

You might even say it’s the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel

Official protocols aside; this is exactly what would happen lmao

Hollywood accounting. None of them make a “profit” because they’re taxed on profits. Now it’s possible that they really are losing 180 million (a lot of startups like uber coast on investors with the assumption they’ll turn a profit at some point) but I wouldn’t take their word at face value.

Blockchain > Crypto > NFTs > LLMs > whatever’s next.

These people will always be sniffing around for the next big thing to oversell and fleece their audience.
