Plex is heavier, of course. They don’t have the spending luxuries that Netflix or Disney has to optimize for every platform perfectly. That said, TV’s notoriously use inferior hardware for the built in streaming portion so they can sell them at the prices they do and make higher profit. Sure, they can play the media they were designed to do, but that is the bare minimum requirement. They also sell your data to recoup more profit.

Unlike good dedicated streaming devices, they lack the processing power needed to make it go quickly. I have both and it is a night and day difference in responsiveness in the UI. It either lacks the memory/CPU power to work as well. Don’t just take my word for it though, do your own testing or look at somebody elses. Plex definitely has improvements that can be made, but they are not at complete fault here.

If you pick a good dedicated one, it might not even sell you out to advertisers. Lol. You don’t really want to connect your TV to the internet anyway. They phone home constantly.

Unfortunately, that is just the system your TV runs on being slow. If you use a dedicated streaming device, you will have much better results.

MY GOD… The plastic took your testicles?!? WHY ARE WE NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS???

ChatGPT as a programming tool like any other tool works a whole lot better when you are well versed in how the process should go. It speeds up the workflow of a professional, it doesn’t make a new worker better.

“Do I look like I know what a Wayland is?”

But the machine needs those orphans to keep going! Why would we want to deprive the system of what it needs? Won’t anybody think of the shareholders!?!

I assumed it was a typo for guy, not boy.

There have been a ton of innovative hardware and software features. Such as ADs in the start menu, firmware locked parts to the system, always on facial recognition cameras, soldered on ssd storage, windows recall, AI processors, planned obsolescence.

So much innovation in such little time.

I hate it when my 4 to 6 dongles dangle too. So annoying. Thankfully we finally have a solution for it.

You shouldn’t buy a framework because you will be robbing yourself of the joy of a brand new laptop every 3 to 5 years because the battery is not replaceable or the WiFi chip went bad and it is soldered in. Think of all the innovations you will be missing out on because you are just swapping parts out like some kind of animal.

Do you think this is some kind of investment or something? Computers are just disposable things that everyone can afford. Why bother fixing things? I just have my butler go grab me a new one whenever I accidentally drop it in the pool while browsing on my floating inflatable chair.

Sci fi or not, I kinda want them to get this one figured out ahead of time. It is kinda like assuming that a convicted felon could never be President. You wouldn’t think that rule would need to exist because come on, how could a country possibly want to elect a convicted felon? Its a completely ridiculous notion that could absolutely never happen.

I was thinking the same thing, this is just too specific to not get it mentioned.

Achievement Unlocked: Mention Linux in a computer related thread!

100% of tech related posts have this achievement.

(Relax comrades, I too am a Linux disciple.)

A Dungeon & Daddies reference is not what I expected to see today either.

The real question is could we ever really trust photographs before AI? Image manipulation has been a thing long before the digital camera and Photoshop. What makes these images we see actually real? Cameras have been miscapturing image data for as long as they have existed. Do the light levels in a photo match what was actually there according to the human eye? Usually not. What makes a photo real?

If you are lying about this, then that means you only tell the truth. However, if you only tell the truth, that means you can’t lie. So you cannot say you only lie on Lemmy comments because that would be a lie and therefore not the truth. So if you are lying ERROR ErROr ErrOR PAroDOx deTECteD!!!

I like the way you think.

If a peaceful solution doesn’t work, then can we eat them?

Yeet? No. Eat. Yes. We reduce pollution and world hunger at the same time!

Blood bending sure is a creepy one.
