looking for "privacy issues" in iOS is like wondering if the sandwich you found in the sewer has healthy and organic salami, as if that's the only issue preventing you from eating it.

you're being spied on from the moment you activate it, including when it's "off", so does it matter if there are seven or actually nine things invading your privacy?

wish they would say what the "old intel CPU" refers to and which ate the modern ones that don't need the hack.

I have no idea what this challenge is (I automatically assume it's some cringe when I read "challenge" also that pic is... what?), but you don't run Mint/Debian/Ubuntu if you have super-fresh hardware, like AMD 7000-series or Intel 14th gen and so on. in that case you have to go with Fedora or one of its derivatives (Nobara, Bazzite, etc.), because they have the newest kernels that allow this hardware to run OOB.

if you have a bit older hardware (like 2-3 years old), Mint or Debian is your best bet; Ubuntu if you have to, and only as a stepping stone. it's a solid base and if you use flatpak for everything (Firefox, Chrome, Lutris, Steam, etc.) you won't have issues with old packages and you'll get the best of both worlds - stability and supported hardware.

what's this "probability" based on?

wine exposes the user's home directory as drive Z: and has full read/write access to it. so, the user's proper fucked.

edit: I misspoke, Z: exposes the entire root file system, whereas only the /home/user/ has full r/w access.

nothing to share about my setup, but I've just checked and I haven't used finamp on my phone since november last year. reason - Innertune. works phenomenally on the shittiest data plan, haven't maxed it out once.

coupla blogs and lemmy subscribed ordered by top day; once I'm done with it, that's it, no doomscrolling no more. all news and sports are filtered out, along with memes and similar stupid shit.

if im really craving something, read a book (thanks Anna!), reinstall one of the cheap laptops I got, go for a run/walk/bike ride etc. works most of the time.

do you have the 4K version? latest ATV app and jellyfin server 10.9.6?

[–] dingdongitsabear@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

just to confirm, you have the 4K version? latest ATV app and Jellyfin 10.9.6?

[–] dingdongitsabear@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's all directplay, transcoding is disabled server-side and the server logs are the same as when other devices at that location play something. I'll keep digging.

[–] dingdongitsabear@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

no 4k content, no transcoding (disabled server side), plain ol' 264/265 files, no other devices have issues. worked fine for the first day or two. it's possible there was a system update but I don't know, latest ATV app.

this one also worked as advertised for the first day or two and started glitching by day three. I'd a appreciate if you could ping back in a couple of days whether it's still working.
