General Eisenhower definitely bombed some people.

Correct, they could do without, which is why I rely on Plex’s transcoded downloads to cram a cross-country flight’s worth of stuff onto their iPads.

Good suggestion though.

I’m not so much nitpicking Jellyfin as I am highlighting how crucial transcoded downloads are for my use case, and attempting to get you to have empathy for that use case.

Like, based on the headline I was ready to try out Jellyfin because fuck Plex, but alas, I can’t bail just yet.

Maybe being silent on the matter is best, people asking for features is a dumb way to improve software.

I mean the person you’re talking to is having trouble grasping the concept of friends.

Alternately I could keep using plex.

This is a huge problem. The blueray remux might be 80 gigs. Most children’s devices will already be filled with other crap.

If you’re an Apple user the AppleTV is exactly this. It’s probably Apple’s most fairly priced computing device.

Most of the discords I’m on never use screen share for anything.

Think Different™ (Because we deprecated the service you liked and depended on because an internal team was jockeying for a higher position and rewrote what you loved but worse, so actually you are thinking different every year!)

Is there a reason for bind mounting and not just configuring the db to point at a different path?

The twist here is that Android was a blackberry competitor, they redid the whole UX after the iPhone announcement. You can read interviews with the original Android devs on the subject.

There are features that came first to Android, and features that came first to iOS, but the iPhone is what kicked off the current paradigm.

The mods of the non-political subs need to move elsewhere, eventually after that the content will just be tankie bullshit and everyone can just defederate them.

Your battery probably isn’t supplying sufficient voltage and your laptop is compensating. It is almost random chance in getting a good battery for a machine of that vintage. Using Linux will likely cause unexpected power off at low charge states.

Your best bet is to return that battery to the vendor and try another battery from another supplier.

Google has killed plenty of things that work just fine. Being a bad product has nothing to do with cancellation, it is an organizational illness.

Not exactly true. If you enable “Advanced Data Protection” not even apple can look at your data (with the exception of data which has to be interoperable like calendars and mail)

Apple didn’t make enough off of Lightning for greed to be a factor. Hell the majority of Lightning cables sold were unlicensed knockoffs from Amazon and the grocery checkout aisle.

The reason Apple is so rich is that Apple isn’t really dominant in any of the markets they compete at this point(save for the tablet and watch, and that dominance is basically due to the incompetence of Microsoft(surface sucked and Android makers exited the market)) and Google(wearOS evaporated for like 3 years)).

Apple is rich because aside from a few high profile failures, they sell premium products that are competent in targeted categories, and their competitors sell a wide variety products of varying quality in every market category imaginable. What happens then is if Apple releases a new ithing, you can probably buy it and be good, so one Apple purchase leads to another, and they all sync, so might as well pay for iCloud, etc.

Did the EU force Apple to switch the iPad to USB-C? For that matter, didn’t Apple have like 20 or so engineers on the USB-C spec?

I don’t know how much more hate Apple can get, their mere existence enables an entire tech-journalism ecosystem dedicated to laying out their evils and predicting their demise. It’s good for the economy!

Apple got shit on when they went all in on USB on the Mac. People complained they couldn’t use their mice and keyboards anymore.

They shit on FireWire and thunderbolt and called them proprietary, even those were both industry standard ports. Same for DisplayPort.

They switched to USB-C exclusively and then people complained that they had to buy dongles.

In the modern era, they have had maybe 3 or 4 proprietary ports.

It doesn’t seem so ruthless to me.
