I replaced all my movies from x264 to x265 versions. Went to play a movie and it said it couldn’t transcode the file. Looked into it and you have to pay to do hardware transcoding - my own fault for not testing a x265 file first haha.

Installed Jellyfin where transcoding using your own hardware is free and I haven’t looked back.

I’ve always wondered, is this a drawing of the YouTuber NorthernLion?

I wonder if they would still be able to sell location data in aggregate?

I play Pokémon Go (yes that’s still a thing) and Niantic recently made a deal that they don’t sell individual location data which people have taken as they sell bulk location data instead (scrubbing data such as your name etc).

Is this what cracking Denuvo does to people?

It would be more wouldn’t it?

I only check Reddit now for a game sub which, while on Lemmy, doesn’t have critical mass yet (and I’m not sure it will).

Also it would be good to implement one of those toast notifications “press back again to exit” that other apps have.

Relay too

edit: my most upvoted comment is about beans.

Gotcha!

Lemmy lore in the making.

Doesn’t this make NewPipe better in that instance? If it’s client side you aren’t going to be rate limited.

There is also a fork of NewPipe that integrates SponsorBlock (I don’t know if Piped has that).

What happens if you use SmartTubeNext on a TV? I’m assuming the interface wouldn’t support the 3 strike YouTube popup so I guess you’d just get blocked without knowing why?

I’m guessing ReVanced will support the popup so you’d know.

Relay is still working for me, including NSFW content:

It’s partly why I joined lemmy.one as they disable downvotes.

I can recommend, for Android:

Connect

Liftoff

Thunder

I’m using all 3, plus Jerboa, as they are all fantastic apps. At some point I’ll just stick with one, but it’s exciting following the development of these apps. Use Obtainium to keep them up to date (although Connect is Google Play only).

There are some fantastic apps being made right now though. For android I am following development for:

Connect

Jerboa

Liftoff

Thunder

Connect is only on Google Play, but the bottom 3 I keep updated using the Obtainium app which grabs the releases from GitHub (gets updates faster then waiting for Google Play).

Remember how long DivX/XviD hung on for, it’s all down to device compatibility.

Ah, hadn’t realised you were on about PC gaming.

Physical editions for PC gaming for me died a long time ago as I pretty much exclusively use Steam.

Consoles however I always try and get physical where possible.
