Honestly mate, I am not a tankie or even politically left in my country, but when looking at the insane results for these enormous companies and the ever increasing greed with ads/price hikes, I’ve just had enough.

I know it’s not morally right to steal, but I refuse to support companies like Alphabet paying their CEO 200+ million a year. If they manage to block me out when skirting their ads, then I’ll find something else to spend my time on.

So you’re right, I just don’t care anymore.

I do pay for Nebula though!

That thought didn’t cross my mind, and you must be right.

I’d say go for a streamer of some sort as a solution. Not had many issues on the CCWGTV.

1: The official Android app didn’t work?
That’s strange as I run it on a Samsung and Pixel straight from the PlayStore. What were your problems?

2: This is not required as long as the profile is set up wthout a password.

3: This depends on the client and codecs supported by it. Newer phones support most, or is able to transcode. Weaker/older units are not.

I can’t speak for all Samsung TVs, but I have the Q9FN65 from a few years ago and it has been offline almost since day one.
Never had any nagging at all and all the pre-installed crap could be removed.

My biggest gripe with them is the lack of Dolby Vision. Samsung wants people to use HDR10+ which is their own version, but it’s not widely supported. Otherwise it’s snappy and functions well.

Both my banks are missing, but I still feel like giving it a go.

I guess I could just go back if it doesn’t work for me…

I’ve been considering this for a long time, but I can’t figure out if my banking apps will work.
As it’s a work phone, there are certain apps that I must have.

Have you experienced any issues installing and using apps?

Yeah we use that too. Works fine. A bit slow to update between us, but a refresh usually solves it

Jellyfin and the .arr suite.

It’s absolutely incredible and I am so greatful to anyone with the skillset and dedication to develop and maintain things like these.

Currently playing with Proxmox and HomeAssistant too.

Hat of to all of you legends involved in FOSS

Sure, it was only meant as a way to circumvent ads on the TV

You could also use Chromecast with SmartTube. Works like a charm. Let me know if you need help with it.

Nope I literally still don’t get your point. Feel free to spell it out for dumdums like myself…

No I really don’t. What is the point?
That China is highest in property ownership?
So a capitalistic dictatorship has the best metric in one area makes capitalistic dictatorships good?

Surely that can’t be it, as it’s completely moronic, so what is the point?

Not a single one is communist, so what’s your point?

I really want to and at the same time don’t want to know where your name comes from…

I’m thinking koffert straight away

It would be pure guessing, but I’m not so sure iOS preferance necessarily translates to MacOS preferance. Especially with todays prices and interest rates. Again, just me guessing.

I hope Windows keeps making dumb decisions so we can find out though!

It might surprise you to learn that Apple is not dominating the market here, neither in phones or laptops.

When I think about it, I only really know one person with a Macbok and at work, Android is probably 2/3. Source: I’m the IT guy ordering phones for everybody.

We’re quite stupid and easy to influence.

Proof in point: I’ve gone from 0 to 3 Linux machines since joining Lemmy.

Someone send help, please??

Do they dislike me for no good reason? If yes: fuck them, I’m awesome!

Do they dislike me because I did something dumb? Let’s talk and let me appologise if I cocked something up for you. My intentions are rarely malicius.

This let’s me live a happy life knowing I didn’t ruin anyone’s day and ignore the rest.

Just to tack on and expand on your first point: LED monitors are normally LCD displays but with LED backligthing, allowing for more zone control and it is more efficient both with space and energy usage.

For TV’s, burn in is becomming less of an issue due to software in newer models and improvements in the tech. The same goes for phones. Older OLED phones like the Pixel 2 I think, had issues with burn-in.

Rtings is actually doing a long term torture test as we write. They have also included some PC monitors for good meassure.

In general, the reason why it’s still not perfect for PC is that all office/daily use retains a static image on a large portion on your screen. Imagine a browser, Excel or program with a big static toolbar. This will cause issues even with pixel shift and refresh cycles. You can only move pixels so much without it affecting your experience.

If you were to only game or watch movies on it, it would likely never show signs of burn-in.

Hope this made sense

Thank you, friend!
