Looking for the simplest means of playing videos from a USB storage device on a non-smart TV

Jump

  • Get your hands on any old working PC or Laptop and load Linux Mint. Default video player is good enough and it has USB ports. I have had no compatibility issues with remotes.

    • Americans who believe in Socialism, if you were given the opportunity to immigrate to a country with socialist policies, would you?

    Jump

  • I agree that the definition of Socialism tends to be a catch-all for leftist policies, especially in the context of US domestic policy. Here is a (nonextensive) list of the "Socialist" policies that the Dutch have that are attractive to me.

    • Strong Unions and high Union membership (twice that of the US)
    • Government Mandated PTO (20 day minimum)
    • Universal healthcare (Private and Public options. US healthcare is just not comparable)
    • Realistic minimum wage (scales with age)

    US Politicians who support these policies domestically get labeled as a Socialist/Communist/fringe left/extreme left. I am not going to pretend that The Netherlands (or any Nordic country) is perfect or it isn't capitalist (Amsterdam is home to the oldest stock exchange in the world), but they are a working example of how a democracy with "Socialist" policies can create a country with a high quality of life.

    • Americans who believe in Socialism, if you were given the opportunity to immigrate to a country with socialist policies, would you?

    Jump

  • Yes I'd immigrate to the secretly highly-developed and free nation of the Netherlands.

  • Added context.

    ESC exits Insert mode (or any other mode you are in)

    : tells vim you are entering a command

    q is the command for quit

    ! tells vim for force quit (without saving)

    Alternatively, :wq will write (save) the file then quit.
