What are these cables for when all new displays that support it will have builtin app that everyone is going to use to watch streaming services with. The last time I have seen an external streamer used was for someone with an older TV where the builtin apps are no longer updated.

I get the need for eARC usage, but that’s already implemented… So…?

I avoided transcoding by making sure to only host videos compatible with all clients. Also, I will spend the time to reencode codes that are too large for my taste. Which happens after a rip of uhd disks.

H265 with slow preset really works wonders for non-grainy film. AV1 is what you have to use when there is grain.

Tailscale is what I do. If you make an exit nice they can forever stay on your VPN… I think…

Yes, I have run wires to a few rooms, but not everywhere and it can be difficult to convince myself to continue down this path. However, it is the more affordable option.

You mean run wires?

While not really for my hosting, I want to upgrade the Wi-Fi speeds in my home, currently running an eero setup that provides good coverage, but the speed seems poor when transferring large files around the home.

Not sure what to get, but this is my goal.

I want my laundry machine to figure out the best way to wash whatever I toss in automatically without an Internet connection. I guess I’m asking for too much :(

They will then ask for a third term.

I blame the streaming boom and then password sharing crackdowns.

This might be unique to each parent as well. Some children do require extra attention and it is very difficult to managed work time in.

With most schools letting kids out around 3pm it’s not easy to keep the children occupied before the work day is finished. This leaves parents either on a work call with kids heard in the background or working late at night al week.

Think of it as if the person is a caretaker and a full time employee at your company. It’s basically two full times just that happen to overlap during the day.

I think calling it a privilege is really unfair but if the people are missing work and not meeting deadlines then management needs to step in and work out a solution. Work life balance is hard.

That picture looks like his on the set of Enterprise.

My Ring app is going crazy the last few weeks about people saying drones are flying around. I’m sure it’s normal…

Good thing banks use sms for two factor codes

I love that we can reencoding the 4k HDR to 1080 while we retain the HDR color information. Looks great to me while saving a ton of space.

What’s TDD?

Ok cool. I was just doing a few encodings manually today and was working on my own encoding application that would be specifically for us usage, but maybe this will be fine as well. Thanks for the work.

Does this support changing color spaces when going from 4k HDR to 1080? I tried this with ffmpeg manually, but gave up and use handbrake.

Zootopia has a scene that shows this issue on microwave meals.

Encoding to AV1 is good to cooking CPUs.
