If only my TV had a Jellyfin app, I could switch, but alas it doesn’t. Got to use Plex if I want to watch stuff from any home streaming thingy. That said, it’s free to do that, at least.

I just don’t have the money or time to buy an external box and fiddle with it to get it running these days either, otherwise I’d build a modern version of the XBMC server I used to have in days gone by :-(

Did it spread? Last I saw it was just a few cases onboard one ship.

I assume that’s a lot in whatever country that is (it doesn’t mention location or currency, but we can infer, I’d wager)

Thank you for censoring the word gun, can’t have such naughty words on the internet now can we?

Hello from Manchester :-)

Functionally it may be different, but if I’m sat at a table with another user, next to a criminal gun salesman and their customer, the salesman passes me a gun, and I pass the gun to the other user, who then passes it to the customer, am I not just as guilty of facilitating that illegal exchange?

I understand that one could try to make that argument aimed at an ISP or internet infrastructure in general, but in this case the added element is that we are individuals, we know people are often using these services for illicit means, and we still choose to facilitate their use.

Honestly I don’t know if I agree with my own argument 100%, but it’s something someone could argue, and it’s worth some thought before deciding to become a part of that shadowy community. Especially knowing there’s a good chance at some point you’re a willing link in the chain for criminal activity, even if it probably can’t be traced back to you.

Hmm, food for thought I suppose.

I’m sure Linux is great with headphones too, but is there really a widespread issue with them in Windows?

Obviously it’s not difficult to “recognise” a headset plugged into the 3.5mm jack, so I’m presuming the author means Bluetooth.

In general, I’ve been very impressed with the improved audio system and controls between Win10 & 11, it needed a big upgrade and we got it. Similarly, Bluetooth UI and ease of use has shot up too. The old Bluetooth UI was awful.

I use various Bluetooth audio devices daily, as well as 3.5mm audio stuff, and have various needs for routing and altering audio with virtual audio cables, etc, and it all works flawlessly for me.

I’m just one person though, not really a great sample size!

Anyway, I’m surprised to hear there’s a widespread issue with Bluetooth audio in Windows 11, given how standardised and widely used everything is these days. You’d think that’d be ironed out reasonably quickly, lest hundreds of millions of people struggle :-(

If they “can’t do anything” on their own service then how can they be trusted at all?

They’re either lying outright, or are so deeply incompetent that they don’t know how their own software works and can’t touch it to try to resolve a problem for fear of breaking something.

Yeah it’s tiring. It seems especially prevalent on Lemmy, way more than I’ve ever seen anywhere else for some reason.

Like, I use Linux for all sorts of things, it’s great, but there are plenty of situations I use other stuff in too. Open your mouth around these folks though and all they say is “hurrdur use Linux”.

Very helpful my guy, thanks xD

Your ISP can read any text message you send and view metadata logs of any phone calls you make. In lots of places (like Australia where I live) ISPs are actually required to keep logs of your messages and phone calls

Why would my Internet Service Provider have anything whatsoever to do with my dumb phone?

Yes, texts and calls aren’t hidden from your mobile phone provider, they never were. I agree it’s not great, and the government is likely spying on you as they have been for decades.

But alas, I don’t see a solution without using a non dumb phone and encrypted apps, which will require the internet and at that point you’ve not got a dumb phone any more.

My Nokia 3310 still works great. Sure, the government could spy on me, but I don’t discuss anything sensitive over the phone (traditionally one doesn’t, for this very reason, wiretaps and the like). It’s a tool for casually staying in touch and arranging to meet up ^_

‘Not one Linux distro named after me! After all I did for them!’

I wanted to move to Jellyfin, but there isn’t an app for it on the LG WebOS library like there is for Plex, so I wouldn’t be able to watch stuff on my TV, which sadly makes it useless for me :-(

I don’t have the money to be going out and buying extra add-ons for my TV to watch stuff either, sadly. So, Plex it is for now!

Is a C-Party one of those sexy sex terms that people who are hip sexy swingers would understand

hahaha good onion article can you imagine if this really happened haha

r…right?

I’ve never actually seen a display port cable, so if there was one in the back of a PC I had to pull out, I’d initially treat it like a HDMI cable and just pull it out.

It doesn’t look like it has screws, so if it has some way of locking in place it must be sneaky about it right?

My TV doesn’t have a Jellyfin app, only a Plex app. I’m not buying a new TV just to use my preferred media server, sadly :-(

Alas my TV (LG WebOS 2) doesn’t have an application for Jellyfin, or I’d have switched years ago :-(

How is this invading someone’s privacy? All it’s doing is detecting if children are smoking in a room or space at school and then putting an alert up about the detection on a screen.

They have zero right to privately smoke at school, or anywhere for that matter, smoking is illegal for children and not something to be taken lightly.

Similarly, adults have no right to privately smoke whilst in the workplace in the bathroom or other non-smoking designated areas. This is also illegal and not to be taken lightly.

Where would max even come from? That’s not in their username o.O
