Domi

In case you didn’t know, you can send a YouTube URL to Kodi by sharing it from your phone to the Kore app.

So you can do your browsing on your phone/tablet and when you want to watch something on the big screen, you just share it with the Kore app and it will start playing.

Did you ever get checked for sleep apnea or similar conditions?

One of the symptoms is waking up and feeling like a bulldozer just ran you over.

Yes, I’m on CoreELEC with an Odroid N2+ but I only play content without DRM. If you’re streaming DRM protected content you will have an easier time using Android.

As much as I like to shit on Microsoft, that is not how this works. Github doesn’t magically control the projects hosted on it.

Feeling pretty good about not getting a Boox e-ink tablet now.

I’m 95% there, I just need Docker Swarm to support IPv6 without breaking as soon as it is enabled.

Hunt works perfectly fine on Linux, played a few rounds yesterday.

Tarkov still does not.

Also works well for the opposite use case.

I’m a good programmer but bad at math and can never remember which algorithms to use so I just ask it how to solve problem X or calculate Y and it gives me a list of algorithms which would make sense.

Y’all remember mumble? Easy peasy compared to discord amirite?

But Mumble is not a Discord alternative, it’s a TeamSpeak alternative.

The lamp stopped working and I’ve put off replacing it.

If you still have it, do it. Replacing the lamp on a projector is incredibly easy and only takes like 15 minutes.

If you only order the bulb without casing it’s also very cheap.

Yesterday I plugged my Xbox 360 controller into my steam deck and played Halo 3 Like an OG.

If you had told someone 10 years ago that you can play Halo 3 on a handheld running Linux with a OG Xbox 360 controller on Steam they would call you crazy.

Well, that sure is annoying. It seems you really need to be rooted to disable them: https://xdaforums.com/t/root-mod-how-to-disable-presidential-alert-text-messages-easy-method.3841385/

Interesting, now I do wonder what those sliders do. Can’t test them unfortunately.

Which OS do you use? On Android/LineageOS you can disable all alerts. Not sure if you can mute them, I never got one.

There are 30,000 exclusives on steam.

There’s a huge difference between paying a publisher to only publish on your platform and publishers picking their distribution platform themselves. Valve pays 0 dollars for publishers to be exclusive to Steam.

No, not really. Sony, Microsoft, Stadia, and most storefronts have exclusives with benefits.

I never said any of them are any better, just because it’s industry standard doesn’t make it good. If you pay publishers to release games exclusively on your platform and you are not actively funding development you are anti-competitive in my eyes. (Also Stadia doesn’t exist anymore)

Overall, you should be made at the studios that accept the offer instead of Epic.

I am mad at both and I do not support either.

Epic is just trying to fund indie teams

If only that were true I would be less mad. Most of the time they try to snatch up games that are already finished or were already planning to release on Steam/GOG. Sometimes they even pull games from other stores (Rocket League and Fall Guys) after they released or just before they release (Metro). That’s not the practices of someone who wants to compete but someone who wants to get into the market by force without actively doing anything good for the industry.

Epic really hasn’t done anything bad.

You don’t consider bribing game publishers to only release on their platform instead of actually competing bad?

I don’t mind if they fund development and then release only on their platform. I do mind of they snatch up games that could have seen a broader release, if they weren’t so lazy and actually developed a store worth using.

why the majority is acting like it is the ordinary people’s fault?

Because it is. The market produces what consumers buy.

If nobody buys SUVs, nobody produces SUVs. It’s 100% on the consumer in the EU, there’s enough other cars available.

I run CoreELEC/LibreELEC on all my streaming devices. It only runs Kodi but since Kodi has tons of addons it is fairly easy to customize. Kodi also plays pretty much any codec in existence and has support for various remotes.

If you’re planning to play 4k content you will want something with a little bit more power than a Raspberry Pi 4. For Dolby Vision you need one of the few supported devices.

Which mobile? On Android you can use AdAway. A network level adblocker on your router can also take care of many ads for every device connected to it.

In general, https://www.projectorcentral.com/ always has solid up to date recommendations for different price brackets.

Depending on where you can place it, you might want a short throw or ultra short throw projector. Be careful with the ultra short throw projectors (“Laser TV”). Many of them are starting to introduce smart TV features since they are becoming more mainstream. Try to stick with known projector companies like Optoma, BenQ, Sony, Epson and JVC.

As for the screen, don’t worry to much about it. Get a white screen without any gain to avoid hot spots or dim pictures. Make sure to max out the possible size for the location, you will regret it later if you don’t. If you can, get a screen with a solid aluminium/steel frame and mount it on a wall. Do not bother with cheap pull down screens, they will start to show creases and folds within the first years.
