Apples M series chips consistently outclass all comparable processors. It isn’t surprising apples mobile chip out performers Intel’s desktop processors.

Yes, I understood that. There are specific OS for Kodi like libreElec, that make it easy to have support for lots of codecs etc. I don’t know if any for specific to Jellyfin, but the Jellyfin App has a better UX than Kodi.

Kodi is a great Linux client. But that’s not what OP wants, the jellyfin app is a nicer UX experience.

There wasn’t much loss launching it after Christmas. People weren’t buying WiiUs. The 2ds was designed to use all the extra wiiU controller screens they had.

Adults buying it for themselves have gotten it already. Purchases for children will be around Christmas. Any big announcements or trailers will catch the attention of parents and family that don’t follow rumours.

Enthusiast will buy early, but they don’t make up long term console sales and non release game sales.

Switch 2 will be announced in July/August then released in September. (This is speculation).

It needs to come out before Christmas, else Nintendo sales will suffer. They would have already planned for this. If they don’t they will announce it October/November quietly and release it in Spring.

I think they will increase the frequency of upgrades to their handheld/hybrid consoles. As they will see completion from steam deck and similar systems. Especially if they don’t have significant innovation that isn’t easily replicated. The switch 2 might not allow you to transfer all your games over, but subsequent switches are likely to be oled/light/pro/XL type of upgrades.

They won’t announce a console prior to Christmas, that won’t be released for Christmas. It will hurt their sales. People won’t buy switch oled and games if they think a new console will replace it soon.

I wouldn’t be surprised if all the games are either to far along(/not popular enough) to bother building for the new switch. Or they will get simultaneous release on both switch and switch 2 (like breath of the wild).

That won’t sink Nintendo. It will only increase their revenue.

People will rebuy the old game again. Some people will refuse to buy the old game. But no sale would be lost. In fact people will be less likely to sell their old consoles, reducing the supply of consoles which will increase demand on the new console.

People always make the assumption that a business will lose by making customers pay for things. It rarely is the case. Netflix banned account sharing, Reddit and Lemmy were full of people claiming this will hurt netflix. Not realising netflix only punished those that don’t give them more money. The people that suffered that ban weren’t buying netflix. The ban increased netflix profit, they also gained more paying customers.

Windows is just shit piled on top of shit and sold as something new. It’s so bloated so they can maintain backwards compatibility. So original code is definitely in Windows 11.

There is lots of web based guis. These are accessed on a separate device on the same network (or internet). These use very little resources, all the rendering is done on the client web browser.

Same account different servers would mimic discord. So you have one app, but the communities or ‘discord server’ can be their own instance. If it’s mimicking discord it will keep all the message boards private to users like discord, but it could still benefit from Lemmy/Mastodon integration. Many communities have a discord and a sub Reddit having the same account on both may be valuable to some people.

I don’t know the state of voice and video calls in the fediverse, it seems to be the main benefit of discord. Otherwise discord is just a terrible closed version of forums/subreddit/communities.

The crown is the monarchs personal fund. They don’t own it or have control over it.

Monarchist often use the misunderstanding to parrot the lie that remove the monarch would deprived the UK of crown assets.

Crown assets are owned by the government.

You are right, TOS isn’t the law. However businesses will try to trick you with this technique, especially if they don’t think you have any legal support. You can’t commit a crime just because the victim agreed to it, no amount of contracts negate this. Employers often pull this trick to force employees to accept illegal practices.

The person hosting and publishing the code may have never agreed to the TOS. So can’t be bound by it. They also can revoke their agreement, and no longer have to comply with it. However, continued use of the businesses web services likely requires agreeing to the TOS and this plug in may be using the businesses web services to make the plugin work.

They are often sold to non-tech people as fire sticks.

There general use case is:

1. You buy a fire stick from Amazon.
2. You give it to someone that ‘hacks’ them.
3. You transfer money to an account and are provided login credentials.

The ‘hack’ is just enabling side loading on the Amazon stick and downloading an IP client. Takes two minutes and is easily done, but people charge £50 for it. You can do it yourself if you already have access to an IPTV provider.

The difficult thing to do online is get access to the IPTV provider to purchase such a service. They don’t have any public online presence. They manage and sell their services through group chat apps like discord, telegram and some lesser know equivalent apps. The online way to get access to them is through someone you know.

Refering people to these services is actively encouraged. The providers often offer discounts/free periods if you referral makes a purchase.

The use of these services in the UK is so endemic that football channels now frequently advertise VPNs. Because it encouraged by the vendors of these IPTV sellers.

These services are not legal. So there is little recourse if the quality of service is bad or they sell your account details to someone. They also don’t spend much on infrastructure, so you the streaming quality is often limited to 720p and will struggle to serve during sporting popular sporting events.

No one is going to offer you it on here. Most people in this sub will be able to get better quality downloads for free. They also don’t want a public record of them using or distribution such service.

I don’t use them and don’t recommend them, I also don’t like live sports which is their biggest selling point. As live sports is very expensive as so much is broken up between different legal providers.

If you don’t know anyone that uses them, you’ll have to make some friends. Best place is sport events/pubs.
