Ehrlich Bachman, this is your mom and you, you are not my baby.

There’s a word for alternative medicine that works. It’s “medicine”.

I forget the attribution.

Yes, that’s my point. If you have a library full of 1080 h264 then the pi 4 is a better choice. The Pi5 will struggle with software decoding compared to the 4.

At the end of the day, they’re different boards with different use cases. I think a lot of people don’t appreciate that enough.

There are two separate entities: the raspberry pi foundation which is the charity and unchanged, and the raspberries pi holdings company which has always been the business side of the project. The corporation contributes to the foundation a significant amount of money which is not changing. The charity is the majority stakeholder in the company.

Here’s the founder explaining it

For a standard media center, kodi is pretty great.

That assumes your media collection is all hevc. That’s not the case for most people.

Pi5 doesn’t have h264 hardware. Pi4 is probably better for media centers right now.

Maybe. I’ll be the first one to call out bad behavior but at this point it’s just knee jerk anticorporate fervor.

The worst thing raspberry pi ever did is dare to be an electronic company during the worst electronics part shortage in our lifetime. People complaining they couldn’t get a pi to do their dinky personal project are the epitome of having first world problems. Prices and availability have been back to normal for over a year now and people still gripe about it. I’m just over it.

I’m sorry but all of these doom and gloom comments are insufferable.

A. The raspberry pis that you have known and loved are all still around and, considering inflation, cheaper than ever. If you’re complaining about prices, stop buying from scalpers!

B. All this talk of enshittification and decline is purely and 100% speculative. You are acting like your catastrophic fears are a forgone conclusion when they’re, at best, a guess.

If all you’re doing is plex and a minecraft server, look into proxmox or unraid.

Unraid is paid but very noob friendly compared to most others. It’s also very flexible hardware wise.

Not settled in court. An independent law firm investigates the allegations. No court has touched this and likely never will.

This is a perfect example of perfection being the enemy of good.

Allowing, even encouraging, employees to work from home in order to temporarily care for a sick child is a good thing. The complainers must work somewhere that when you take off from work, someone else just comes along and does all your work for you. Needless to say, that’s a rarity and also sucks for your coworkers.

The question isn’t whether Marijuana is habit forming. Obviously for some percentage it is. The question is whether Marijuana use in and of itself encourages or preface additional drug use. My position is that it does not and by legalizing Marijuana we would find that it is the interaction with black market drug dealers which correlates instead.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug.

Having to deal with a drug dealer that wants to also sell you actually addictive drugs is the gateway.

Legalize pot, sell it at the grocery store, and you will watch the number of addicts in general fall precipitously. I guarantee it.

The foam gets on the gloves and then you take them off. Et Voila, no foam on your hands.

The back pedaling has reached the “it was a joke. I was only pretending to be wrong” stage. What comes next?

Just admit you spoke without knowledge and try to do better in the future. It’s not that hard.

Why would you even assume? The info is in the linked article. Point being, if you’d read the article you wouldn’t need to make assumptions.

YouTube started testing pause ads last year, as reported by Adweek. These ads will pop up as banners around the video and can be removed by hitting the “dismiss” button. They’re going to be pretty similar to the pause ads that Hulu introduced back in 2019.

Pausing just brings up a sidebar with a static image ad. Maybe they change that to audio amd/or video in the future but right now you just seem uninformed and reflexively hostile. Maybe like, experience what they’re doing before judging? Or at least before commenting…

I’ve been getting this on the YouTube app on shield TV and fire TV stick lately. It’s as you said; just click dismiss on the ad and it goes back to full screen.

How does it feel, to ruin a life?
