Depends on what they settle on, especially for screen sharing. Many downscale content for people with weaker connections.

I currently have a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ but I’m aware it’s a bit old and is ARM so I’m thinking of buying a Pi 5.

The Pi 5 lacks a H264 hardware encoder/decoder, making it unsuitable for most streaming/transcoding purposes.

So I’ve resigned to settling for any phone that’s cutting edge.

If you drop the “cutting edge” condition instead, you could grab a Fairphone, which ticks all the other checkboxes.

Unless you game on your phone, you won’t notice a thing between modern high end and low end phones as long as they put enough RAM in.

Samsung is the opposite of everything you mentioned besides cutting edge.

I can’t speak for client capabilities on Apple devices, but what’s your server hardware? CPU or GPU transcoding?

I have an AMD GPU in my server and have no issues transcoding AV1 and H265 for my lesser capable clients.

You can also setup Jellyfin in parallel to Plex and give it a whirl.

Sir, this is a /c/selfhosted.

but half the 4k streaming content is compressed to hell.

You can up that to 80%. Almost anything coming from Netflix in 4k is severely bitrate starved.

Then there is the opposite extreme, like the Arcane blu-rays that put animated content in a 100 Mbit/s stream. Completely overkill but I love it.

They still pay for Denuvo for Persona 4? What a waste of money.

You can attach a pen to the print head to build a plotter quite easily.

The only game where I thought the story was complete but the DLC proved me wrong.

Who is kiss?

I bought a Model 3 SR+ in 2019 because it was pretty much the only decent option, also still driving it.

BYD and other Chinese brands were not available here yet and German manufacturers were asleep at the wheel.

The best coming out of Germany at that time were repurposed chassis from ICE cars, with all the flaws that brings. The Leaf lacked water cooling on the batteries.

The best alternative at that time was a classic Hyundai Ioniq but it had a 28 kWh battery where as the Model 3 SR+ had a 52 kWh battery for 10.000€ more.

Since you own an e-Golf, just to put some numbers on this. (e-Golf left, Model 3 SR+ right)

• Efficiency: 168 Wh/km vs 146 Wh/km
• Battery: 32 kWh vs 52 kWh
• Fast charging: 39 kW vs 105 kW (later patched to 170 kW peak)
• Acceleration: 9.6s vs 5.6s 0-100
• Weight: 1615 kg vs 1700 kg
• Price: 32.000€ vs 45.000€
• Charger network: Whatever ionity was doing vs Superchargers

Do you mean Zigbee in general or the ZBT-2?

Their measurements are correct but not surprising, Wayland triple buffers everything on desktop. Currently triple buffering is only disabled in fullscreen applications, when the compositor supports it.

I wanted to take my own measurements with the newer tearing control protocol but didn’t get to it yet.

In addition to these guys knowing what they are doing and pushing firmware updates straight through Home Assistant, every purchase also supports the Open Home Foundation.

I’m pretty sure you can achieve similar performance with cheaper dongles.

My comment starts with “Except accessibility”. I’m not downvoting anyone because they say accessibility on Wayland sucks, because it does.

I’m downvoting the other person that compares Wayland to Star Citizen, because they paid so much for Wayland and they take so long.

Except accessibility, Wayland has been a huge upgrade over X11.

Much better security isolation, proper HDR, full multi-monitor support, full VRR support, better application scaling, no screen tearing and reduced latency. (The clipboard also works fine)

Without Wayland I would not be on Linux right now.

Yes, but that doesn’t help you with the large providers (Gmail, Outlook, …) unfortunately.

I finally moved my mail server from Hetzner to my homelab.

Pretty smooth sailing so far. For now I’m using Scaleway for outgoing mails since I can’t set a PTR record here but I might just try sending a few without PTR to see how other providers react.

Did they ever fix the invisible enemies in Bloodborne on higher resolutions? That was the only issue keeping me from finally playing Bloodborne.

This is Lemmy. “Linux” doesn’t cut it here.

We want to know exactly which distro, which tweaks, what hardware and how you broke it this time.
