They probably scan audio tracks uploaded to music sharing sites, a few online streaming services do this for video to identify accounts ripping the content.
If you're doing it for personal use I see nothing to worry about
Honestly things have gotten so much worse IMO, most drivers are not paying attention and I've been almost smooshed a few times. Slowing down and trying to stay out of cars' way can only do so much...
The ones that force past only to pull over or turn 5 seconds later are the worst examples of impatience I've seen on the road in years ☹️
Lithium chargers completely stop charging when the battery is full. Even if the charger remains plugged in, the battery will not be receiving power
That said, letting a lithium battery sit at 100% indefinitely is not good for it. If you can, reprogram the charger to fill the lithium to 80% instead, otherwise just let the battery sit at 100% as usual and just replace it after a few years when the runtime no longer is long enough for your application
I believe things are different for Lifepo4 which IIRC is more accepting of a float charge when full, although not ideal.
Any X11 forwarding support or emulation of some kind provided by Wayland? Or will apps detect this over the terminal as they usually currently do and render on the remote machine?
Could be an issue with the device are you trying to playback on, and the source media format?
Smart TVs and web browsers are generally not great devices for media playback, most TVs do not support Dolby Digital, EAC audio for example in third party apps (which would cause transcoding). Other smart TVs may not be able to display the subtitles, again causing server transcoding.
IMO to avoid transcoding on hardware that can handle it, typically look at Android devices, games consoles, a Shield or a regular computer
I think they're best suited for different use cases tbh.
Plex makes it great to handoff and resume media on multiple devices, has native apps for everything (from Linux, to PS3, to Firestick, to XB1, literally you name it), makes it easy to share media with friends and family, has excellent media file name recognition, and lastly has Plexamp (which for me is an extra deal maker).
Recently visited a friend's house, and after logging into my Plex on their TV I could instantly resume whatever I was watching at home, as easily as I would have for a Netflix account.
If you do all your media consumption on a single device, or have no need to organise different libraries of media... then something like Plex/Emby/Jellyfin could be overkill - Kodi would be awesome in that case
Samsung historically has had a habit of poaching features from their Smart TVs as they age, eventually leaving you with a not so smart TV after a decade or so. Not sure if other manufacturers do the same
Yepp - hop on Ebay or some surplus auction site, and search for commercial/signage displays. Don't bother buying new unless you have the money for it IMO, they are expensive unless you get them used
Newer "smart" sets, particularly from Vizio and a couple other brands, will not let you exit the setup or use the inputs without an internet connection
