If you don’t have one already, it could be turned into a linux-based input device for your TV.
just looking around for now
If you don’t have one already, it could be turned into a linux-based input device for your TV.
they may be using really slow hard drives or an SSD without DRAM.
or maybe a shitty network switch?
maybe the bandwidth is used up by a torrent box?
there’s a lot of possible causes.
if the cpu performance and memory capacity is still enough, i’d recommend upgrading the storage. SSDs are reportedly getting more expensive, but it isn’t that bad yet.
running an external drive through some kind of USB 3.X connection would also be possible, although at reduced speed. (won’t matter with a HDD, obviously)
oh my god, this (basically culture war) is so hard to witness as a european.
just use signal for god’s sake.
not OC, but i ended up redownloading whatever was x265 and replacing it with 264 or anything else.
also the 1060 in my NAS can do NVENC encoding. that helped a lot with compatibility.
i use:
also youtube revanced (not entirely open source or available on f-droid, but the best way to watch youtube without ads for my use case)
didn’t have money for an external hard drive or anything like that growing up, so a lot of stuff got lost over the years. but when i upgrade my NAS’ hard drive i will buy an enclosure and scrape all of the important stuff together. like recovery codes for my 3ds collection, old photos of my late cat. that kinda stuff. then i’ll see how frequently i’m gonna update the data.
same, this was the last straw for me.
try telefunken, cheap TVs with shitty software. as long as it’s oled it won’t matter very much.
sure, i love change for the better. the EU parliament is proof that change like this is possible, one just needs funding for lobbbyists like rossmann has done it.
in a fair world, all of these companies who abuse the GPL license woild get sued and have to face actual consequences. but the legal system favors the rich, and the FOSS dev is left to starve. killed by their own passion.
since the processing power doesn’t matter and it’s not being connected to the internet, it can be any chinese underspecced tv as long as the screen itself is good.
oh, okay. random cheapo OLED it is.
30$ monthly subscription rate + 5$ to rent each movie + 2$/hour for 4K. gotta make the business model as profitable as possible, otherwise the shareholders will start selling shares.
publicly traded companies are stupid.
honestly, whoever connected to your TV is probably used to their device being the first one to show up. i would blame the streaming protocol for not requiring one of those one-time pin thingys.
some TVs that are used in a business environment are able to be set up without internet, mainly because the displays are almost always externally driven over LAN or HDMI.
i heard you can buy the monitors hanging over the counters at mcdonalds from the OEM where the “smart” is a module you have to buy seperately. is it something like that, or was it sold as a really big PC monitor?
while often outdated, there are youtube tutorials. you could buy a cheap thinkcentre or set up a virtual machine to try it out.
personally, i run truenas scale with jellyfin as an “app” on my old PC.
first, file a report. so devs are aware of your problem.
second, i feel you. i’m in the same situation. if i switch to linux right now, my stream deck will lose features and i probably on’t be able to use my steering wheel anymore. plus i really struggled to install fusion360.
i’m using a 3070 currently, my next GPU will 100% be AMD.
