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.

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.

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??

Yeah it costs, depending on quality of course.
My 14 TB disks are filling up faster than I expected and I am not close to Netflix’s catalogue.

Are you playing directly on your server?

For the first one at least you could solve it by running JF with a Chromecast or similar device.
Feels cleaner than a wireless mouse in the living room too, IMO

Luckily no, not all do.

We specifically chose a car with normal handles because ice/snow is a bitch with the motorized/flush ones

Yeah I agree, would be nice if the sold packs were as easy to replace as the leased ones are, but I doubt it.

I hope other makers come with a similar solution in the future. Being such a vital part and known to slowly degrade it should be easier to replace.

We agree on every point except Apple products slowing down significantly faster than Android. My personal experience has been the polar oposite.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Hey man, I’m an Android dude for phones. Won’t even consider an iPhone as I dislike locked ecosystems for phones, but this is just not true.

Apple supports their devices way longer than any of the major Android producers do. I can’t remember the last time my phone was supported more than 3-4 years, but my iPad was just rock solid and updated for 6 years. Replaced it because I wanted more RAM for scrolling endlessly on Reddit, but it was brilliant for everything else. My daughter still uses it with no issues today, two tears later.

The missus’ Samsung tablet on the other hand…
What a piece of crap, and it was top of the line just three years ago.

This already exists.

Look up Nio. They already have fully automatic battery swapping stations for cars leasing the pack. You literally swap the whole pack instead of charging when it’s empty.

Takes less than 10 minutes

There are several.

I use Tailscale for it. Install it on your server, give partner access and she can add stuff to your .arr’s from anywhere. Simple and free.

Cheers, I did not know this!

I really hope Firefox makes one. I miss not having uBlock an d some other addons on my tablet.

This was my logic.
Sell the BMW and get a Ducati and then a Honda Monkey….
Ooooh shiny new Rizoma parts!!!

My account ain’t growing at all…!
