Oh his point stands,

No it doesn't. The power supply is 8$ and the case is 10$, from the official store. That's 72$. Stop lying.

Not really. It's made to run headless, and isn't always used for compute tasks. I use mine for running servos. But accessories for the desktop are also not included, so your point doesnt stand regardless.

100$ isn't cheaper than 55$. That's 200% more than the pi. If someone is looking for a pi because of the price, a 100$ computer isn't an option.

Is it $60 or less? Everytime one of these alternative boards with an assload of more features pops up, nobody bothers to mention the price. Obviously we could spend more money to get more features, that's what spending more money does. You can't replace something without actually offering an alternative. The pi's biggest selling point was that it was cheaper than a steak dinner. If you dont match or beat that, you aren't actually competing with the pi.

op is describing the source video file bitrate, not the target codec bitrate. 6000kbps compresses to different amounts depending on the codec and quality used. Op doesnt mention the quality factor for the codecs, so this is less than helpful.

Technically yes, but actually no. CEC is horrible and it's considered a genuine miracle when someone ever gets it working.

Yeah, jellyfin isnt the greatest about handling the space around a movie. I also have similiar issues. I usually end up playing the movies in vlc and pressing 'c' until the video fits the screen best.

It's weird seeing a town i grew up next to show up on the news. The context doesn't surprise me at all though. Having it described as 'a rural college town that has been rapidly drawn into the expanding orbit of Dallas to its south' is even weirder. Sherman is 45 minutes away from mckinney, much less dallas. It's more of it's own town than anything else.

Which makea it the #7 most used email client in the world. That is not niche.

Thrunderbird is a very very niche client these day

No. It isn't. https://stats.thunderbird.net/

This movie is actually pretty fun. The lady kung fu cop is played by Michelle Yeoh, who most recently did the mother in everything, everywhere, all at once.
