I went back from Windows 11 to Windows 10 as 11 was too buggy on my system (maybe because I bypassed some checks for TPM because my motherboard was too old).

I cannot understand at all this move from control panel to settings thats half baked in 10 and presumably even worse in 11. It’s not an improvement and makes things difficult to find

Can anyone, I mean anyone, please explain to me that allure of so called cats. We are happy and have no cats. I just don’t get it

Fair enough

I think it’s a common argument that’s been made by Hitchens and Steven Fry too, but you’re right 😁

Looking at the pain and suffering in the world, any god that is not only capable of stopping that, but is by definition the one that made things this way, the only logical conclusion is he’s evil, Abrahamic or otherwise

There is no god, but if there was one, the only logical conclusion is that he’s evil. So whatever you call it, your religion is the most sane one I’ve ever heard about

I might have to donate to this. Awesome project

I fully agree with your sentiment, but I don’t think blocking VPNs and having different content per region is all about your telemetry data. It’s mainly about content rights. They can’t always get deals to show the content in any region, or it may be much more expensive than buying it for one region.

I hate it as much as anyone, but the streaming companies don’t have full rights to all the content and that’s what needs to change to reach the same experience as music streaming.

An IPTV service is probably going to be the best way to watch live. If you can wait a bit and not watch live, smcgill is the man

Your funny 🙂

*Peace of mind

This is the geekiest thing I’ve ever heard. I love it

Someone might have already mentioned it, but M.2 is just a physical connector. You can have M.2 SATA or M.2 NVME drives. Prefer NVME (a modern motherboard should support it but older ones only do SATA)

That’s a bit of a blanket statement. It depends on the house and where you want the cable to go.

Yea, they do seem to be some of the worst offenders

Insane, but far too common

Still, 2024 and they’re storing plaintext passwords?

Thanks, think that’s the one I remember. Would be great if there was an open alternative

Edit: there are open source repositories but I’m not sure if part of it is closed source? https://github.com/acestream?tab=repositories

Lidarr works ok

I can’t remember the name now (and struggling to find it) but there was some packaging of VLC with I think a customised libtorrent, where someone would effectively broadcast with an infohash (sha hash like in a torrent) and people could stream and share with not much latency. Hashes were shared on sites/telegram/discord etc and it seemed to work ok.

Surprised it didn’t become more popular/standardised
