Democrats have blocked two impeachment votes on Trump in the last year. Both parties are working together to protect him.

God their TVs have become so terrible over the last decade. Not only the firmware but the quality of them. I got one to use as an office monitor and it randomly glitches out showing static on the screen until you unplug it. My BIL also buys Samsung TVs and has seemingly gone through half a dozen of them in the last few years because they keep breaking. Same with all the Samsung appliances that he buys too.

For my last TV, I got an LG C3 OLED from Costco and the picture is incredible along with the price and we haven’t had any software issues or annoyances with it either. I have blocked the LG domains on my router though so that it won’t nag me about updating the firmware.

AFAIK Knox would trip a fuse if you installed custom firmware and would prevent you from using banking apps and the like permanently but you were still able to flash the firmware.

I dont run custom ROMs anymore either but I have needed Odin a few times over the last few years to flash different OEM firmware to devices. Examples are a couple of work phones the company let me keep after upgrading which had Sprint firmware. I was able to flash Tmobile firmware to them while simultaneously removing all the locked-down work stuff that was preventing me from doing anything with the devices like activating developer mode.

As far as my personal device, an S21 Ultra, I’ll probably need to upgrade it in the next couple of years and I think its finally time to ditch Samsung. I had similar feelings before getting the S21 but compromised since the market was shit for higher-end devices (I typically get a higher end device and then keep it for years and years) and i have no interest in Apple. It sucks because the market is still weak as hell in the US. Every device I’ve come across that looks decent is a EU device that doesn’t support all of Tmobile’s bands.

Why would you specifically zoom into the Midwest while arguing there aren’t refineries on the coasts?

You’re telling me nobody is interested in attacking the largest ball of twine in America or the biggest rocking chair in the world?

Funny how there’s always just enough Democrats crossing the aisle to gain the desired outcome but never more. It’s almost as if the distinction between parties is political theater since neither side is ever allowed to be held accountable for not living up to their rhetoric.

It is correct and is explicitly detailed here:

NTFS and exFAT/FAT32 ARE NOT SUPPORTED. BOTH FILESYSTEMS CAN AND WILL LEAD TO DATA CORRUPTION UNDER LINUX. DO NOT USE THEM!
winBTRFS UNDER WINDOWS STILL HAS BUGS AND IS ALSO NOT A SOLUTION.

THERE IS CURRENTLY NO RELIABLE CROSS-PLATFORM FILESYSTEM THAT CAN BE SHARED WITH WINDOWS AND LINUX.

The issues detailed in the article you linked to explicitly refer to issues with Proton and Steam, which require characters that are illegal in the NTFS specification and symbolic links, which the spec does not support.

I dont see that mentioned anywhere in the article. Again its referring to gaming because there are probably a million PC gamers to every person hosting a media library, but it still uses all the same hardware in a similar fashion. This being isolated solely to game files makes little sense as an OS and filesystem see data as “bits” and “bytes” not “games,” “movies,” “pictures,” and “programs” outside of file extensions which tell it which programs to use to interact with said data and how that data will be arranged within said file.

This is like claiming you can read Mandarin but only when certain topics are being discussed and not others even when the same words are being used.

That’s how it was handled prior to 9/11

It is very racist, though, any elevated melanin levels in the skin will make you subject to getting picked out and searched.

Ive seen this first hand at LAX too. They let me, the white guy go through the metal detector while forcing my wife, MIL, and SIL with brown skin to go through the body scanner.

Ive had LG, Vizio, TCL, and Samsung TVs (still have all but Vizio) and haven’t ran into one that requires internet yet, not to say that some manufacturers haven’t/wouldn’t do this at some point.

Substitute “games” for “media” and the result is the same. Bazzite isn’t incompatible with the games, its incompatible with the storage format Windows uses and this article was just using games as an example of an issue users might commonly come across.

Its the same the other way as well. Try to connect an Ext4 drive to Windows and it won’t see it.

If you don’t connect a smart TV to the internet, it’s functionally the same as a dumb TV.

Could also be that mid-evening monster, “Supper Turd.”

To help combat this I’ve created numerous collections in Plex based on commonly shared traits like genre, actors, directors, release decade, holidays and placed these collections at the top of my library. You can even find artwork for all this stuff on The Poster DB. I also make sure to put sequels into their own collections and separate animated TV/movies from all the live action stuff (four separate libraries) to further reduce the wall of choices.

I think Jellyseer gives you the ability to watch trailers or see external links (imdb, tvdb, etc) for the show/movie.

Like others have said, this stuff is really about building a collection not streaming something the moment the idea to watch it pops in your mind. It can replace Netflix but you’d want to build it up first (with plenty of HDD space to do so). Mine is also shared with family and friends so it supplements their watching too.

give them scritches under the chin, move down to the upper chest, and inch your way lower to see how far they’re okay with going.

This quickly turned into cat fan-fiction

Him or the big red dog are where my mind goes.

I also have frigate on proxmox with a Google coral but mine has been rock solid. The only difference is that I use an LXC instead of a VM. I recall there being more issues passing hardware to VMs in Proxmox since they don’t like to share.

You’re still affected by this as nearly everything you buy was transported on a truck.
