People that really want convenience just pay for streaming services.

Streaming services stopped being convenient a couple of years ago. Introduction of ads, content strewn all over the place, shitty UI, etc.

I went with Stremio because it has everything in one place. Seeding is not an option because Germany is a shit country for seeding Torrents.

Real Debrid does the torrenting while the end user downloads the cached content. I’m not sure if they seed or not however.

Tankies keep being mentioned on Lemmy, but I have yet to see an actual tanky…

I like how this place is more on the left side of things, but very often it’s very far left, where other opinions suddenly stop mattering. And that bugs me at times. It’s still a better place than any other social media out there.

But maybe people would like a standalone device, without the distraction a regular smartphone brings.

I’m not defending this thing as AI in its current state is near useless, bar some niche applications. But the decision to make it a standalone device isn’t really controversial in my opinion.

I don’t know man, I loved YouTube back in the days when people made videos for shits and giggles. No one expected money from that.

You can use Revanced for example. Alphabet is trying to fuck that up too, but it’s still going strong. Plus, a revanced YouTube is a lot better than the regular app. Want to get rid of Shorts? Revanced will let you get rid of those shitty videos for good. Hate sponsor messages in Videos? Revanced will let you integrated sponsorblock.

The day that revanced won’t work anymore is the day I’ll stop using YouTube.

Given how terrible Teams performes, I’d dread to have merely 8GB to run it on.

Cans are great from an energy-consumption point of view when viewing the entire lifecycle of a can.

• can’t charge the phone when the USB port is in use
• can’t use the aux input of any external devices
• can’t use the headphones with anything else
• shitty experience as someone else here mentioned
• …

I like my Pixel 7 Pro but its also my first phone without a headphone jack and I hate it. Bluetooth is such a shitty standard and the USB dongles suck ass too. Why the fuck did they have to get rid of something so simple and practical…

Stop spouting this nonsense please. It might be true for the USA, but other countries have their shot together and in fact do recycle plastic.

Printing on bottles is a thing. Even in vomit-inducing vibrancy and 69 million shades. Problem is, it inhibits line speed. Higher line speed = more money.

Not really. We do have to make sure to empty the container as good as possible though.

Yeah, I hink its super useful too. But i usually use win+d.

Fair enough!

Guess I’m just a bit excited, since I’ve finally gone back to pirating after more than a decade. And Stremio is just really nice. Only thing I’m missing is the possibility of creating profiles. Can’t let my 8 year old daughter use it like this.

The setup is super easy though. And you’re paying way less than for Netflix, but you get way better quality, can download the videos, and you have everything in one place. You can also get an add-on that gives you the suggestions from all of the streaming services.

Nope, since real-debrid is doing the torrenting, you’re only downloading the cached content. You can use a VPN if it makes you feel safer, but it’s not really necessary.

Edit: just make sure to connect a Real-debrid account to Torrentio! They do the illegal stuff, while you just download without uploading, which is in a legal grey zone (in Germany).

The SNES also doesn’t require active cooling. The stress on the components is none existent. It also doesn’t have an integrated display, battery etc. And let’s be honest, pretty much anything from 20-30 years ago was built way more robust than the finicky stuff you get nowadays.

Nah, the thermal load on the Switch components is way higher than in the old handhelds. Plus, we’re living in a time where corners are cut and obsolescence is planned. The switch will never last 20 years without repairs to battery/PCB/display/etc.

So essentially Stremio with Torrentio and Real-debrid!

Thank you very much! And please excuse my harsh phrasing. Let me change that, in retrospect that was a bit over the top. I’m massively over-worked and get triggered rather quickly nowadays.

Hope you get banned. Anyone can feel free to go through my comments. They’ll find that I’m anti AfD. Fuck Nazis, fuck the AfD (edited the last part out, as it was a personal insult. The rest still stands though!)
