  • Maybe because I only bother with 1080 for the past year, but I used to regularly watch my 30GB 4k 10-bit files with no trouble, even streamed from my NAS.

  • Show their age how? My 2015 pro is still awesome on GF Experience v8.x with GFN, Kodi and SmartTube. Installed an SSD a few years back and breathed new life into it.

  • tl;dr for someone who doesn't come to Lemmy to watch YT videos?

  • The KIA app has three trackers in it. (Can't scan the latest version, however) Not exactly a lot by contemporary standards, but more than many. Two of my banking apps have 7. One weather app has 10. The apps I respect have none or only a single tracker, and only for crashlytics, and still optional.

  • Anyone remember the Kenwood TrueX drives? I was so in love with mine for a while, but it wasn't always supported.

  • This comment seems to be the first reply. I don't get a "just for argument sake" or a combative vibe from it, nor does it mention mythology or religion. A later comment does call the source for anecdotal (and provably false) information "idiots," which is unnecessary and likely grounds for mod action or warning.

    I don't really read anything wrong with the mod saying to keep it clean, though the thinly-veiled threat of, "I'm a mod here and I'm not afraid to ban you," is poorly worded at best.

    I completely agree with you about politeness. At the end of the day, I think that, judging methods alone, OP was out of line with his comments about the mods friends, but correct to point out bunk facts.

    If I was OP, I'd probably edit my comments to remove the name-calling, but as a Lemmy user, I want these discussions to take place to provide fact-checking for hearsay and debunked science. Politely, whenever possible.

  • Thx. I'll create an issue and include a few screenshots to see if perhaps I'm missing something or using an unexpectedly compact layout.

  • On of my banking apps fails to open when I disallow connections to graph.facebook.com. Their support team has indicated that it's not their app. I have logs from various vpn-like capture apps, and my firewall. Pretty icky.

  • Must be checking if you copied a phone number, but still creepy.

  • They pay wall hardware encoding, and possibly other features, like high resolution formats.

  • I recently adopted ente, and while the devs are active and enthusiastic, feature parity with gphotos is a long way off. IMO, the sub price should be half what it is.

    The desktop app (the only practical/supported way to import your Google Takeout) has lots of little bugs and problems, not least of which is 100% CPU load for the the first few weeks you have it installed. Thats because (even after initial encryption and upload is complete) the machine learning and indexing (even the basic, opted out version) hobbles your system with aggressive CPU scheduling.

    I'm going to stick it out for a second month, but I'm not without regrets. For me, I was just done feeding Google AI with my photos and wanted privacy first.

    MX Linux ships with systemd present but sysVinit is still the default init system by default. Thanks to the systemd-shim system, users can choose to boot installed systems whichever way they choose.

  • Tmux is also good for long operations, as tmux is running as a server and you can close the terminal while tmux chugs away. Others can also connect to the tmux session through ssh and share screens.
