I can't say I share that experience. By biggest problem with player is lake of chromecast on IOS and half balled chromecast on Android (lake of volume level, default 10% volum, doesn't see my speaker pair, doesn't always discover chromecast devices).
But I would have be helpful with some conformation.
Time zones
All notices on yr.no are displayed in local time for the city to which the notice applies. I.e. that a notice for e.g. Beijing in China is shown in Chinese time; 12 o'clock is therefore the middle of the day.
Agreed the PCI layout is bad. My problem is the x16 slot.
I would prefer 8 slots/onboard with PCIe5 x2 from CPU. From the chipset 2 slots of PCIe4 x2. This would probably adequate IO. Aiming for 2x25 Gbits performance.
Think you need to prefix it with Skyss :P
