    Does jellyfin do untranscoded video/audio?

    Haven’t used it in years but finally building up my media server again and I remember it had some funky settings for hardware encoding back then which I didn’t need because I was connecting to it via a repurposed gaming laptop that could easily handle 4k content and surround sound by itself.





  • I honestly think Iran is too defanged to make a difference with escalation. Israel flexed their capability heavily and eliminated part of Iran’s C&C and a lot of their military and nuclear assets in one go, and they’re still continuing with strikes for any mop up.

    It’s a win-win situation for them because they’ve got the US to defend them and they can go almost full force on whatever they deem a threat.

    It might technically backfire for Netanyahu if Iran fails to mount any serious counteroffensive, at which point he won’t have any escalation path to stay in power, but it’s still a big win for Israel’s interests.

    Also not related to the question, but this proves HTS in Syria is just another CIA project that will follow Washington’s demands no questions asked since they clearly allowed Israel to operate within their airspace.



  • Lol nah, they might be generally well designed, but they’ve been making it all in China (until now for tariff bypass) for decades now, so you don’t get the Japanese OEM quality shine you usually get out of other electronics.

    Most of the repair will be for damaged consoles. Switch 1 battery lasted pretty well considering most phone batteries begin to deteriorate around 4 years.

    Aside from that though, I expect the joycon drift issue to be unfixed which will be the real issue, especially as warranties expire.












  • People should see any of those videos of 3rd world countries repairing and refurbishing industrial technology on the street with their bare hands. I even remember someone commented that back in the days of the USSR, they used to salvage the solder off old and broken components too.

    The sad thing is, many of these people end up with health issues due to lack of any protection or health standard, yet they also provide a superior service and product that you will never find in a first world country due to the industry opting to trash and buy new.

    I’ve personally had to junk a radiator because the cheap plastic at the end broke, and no OEM actually sells the plastic part because it only comes as a whole assembly, even though you can easily delid the radiator to replace it if the subpart could be bought or made.
