I blame the streaming boom and then password sharing crackdowns.

That picture looks like his on the set of Enterprise.

Use a custom launcher. I use Flauncher and my home page only has jellyfin on it. No ads ever.

I popped on the SNES with my Super Gameboy cartage for a visiting kid that’s like 7 and he was amazed playing Super Mario World 2. It was a whole new game for him. I wish I could get a cheap working gameboy for kids today, the used market is scam now with the prices people are doing.

Smart watch will be what I get my kid instead of a smartphone. Its basically the modern day bepper in my eyes.

You can theme Kodi to look pretty close to Netflix, but not out of the box. As my library doesn’t update too often, I can live with the slower refresh as it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make for the ability to play everything in my library.

Really, for the moat compatibility, a PC with a wireless keyboard is going to 100% of the time work with subtitles.

I switched to Kodi on my Chromecast 4K to fix most of my video playback issues. However, I still have a few cases where Kodi can’t decode the subtitle track, so I use subtitle edit to extract out the srt. Also, getting Kodi to always play subs is tricky, so I remapped the up key on the remote to always enable subs.

Kodi is also slower to show library updates on start, maybe a minute or so later and then it’s don’t with the sync. Maybe I didn’t setup something correctly… Anyway, give it a try. On my Sony with google tv the jellyfin app is great.

Have you tried Kodi?

Good thing banks use sms for two factor codes

I love that we can reencoding the 4k HDR to 1080 while we retain the HDR color information. Looks great to me while saving a ton of space.

What’s TDD?

If it just language add the audio track to one of the mkvs. Ignore me I see your episodes are different cuts.

I found using Kodi helped resolve video codec support in my case. It was for AV1 nlon the Chromecast 4k, which doesn’t support AV1, it seems to mostly work for smaller AV1 encodes. I guess it is using software decoding.

This is a requirement for Immutable Distributions, not that Mint is… But others.

Ok cool. I was just doing a few encodings manually today and was working on my own encoding application that would be specifically for us usage, but maybe this will be fine as well. Thanks for the work.

Does this support changing color spaces when going from 4k HDR to 1080? I tried this with ffmpeg manually, but gave up and use handbrake.

Is it possible to remap the copilot key on the new computers back to the control key? I keep pressing it to skip words, but end up needing to use two hands now.

I’m on Aurora and while I got it mostly working now, I would not call it user friendly.

I’m trying Aurora on a Dell with Amd. I had the bitlocker issue coming from windows 11 that slowed the installation process. The os seems fine, I’ve used Mint and Ubuntu. I spent a good hour trying to get my flatpak apps to show up in the launcher, so that wasn’t fun.

While I like the concept of keeping the os immutable and all apps running in a container, I’m not sure this is the best setup for me. I feel less in control which I have become used to under other distros.

Anyway, I’ll stick with it a bit more and see how it goes. Battery life is good and everything else seems to be working.

You’ll be fine, a lot of the shows need to grow, but I think Voyager and DS9 from the gate is pretty solid. However, I agree that DS9 is actually better the more you rewatch. I didn’t care too just for it the first time, but on the second watch 💪

Voyager’s got that family feel with the cast that you just enjoy being around.

TNG is best to start after season 1. Not saying season one is bad, but it might be harder to get into for a new comer.

Enterprise is good is you like your uniforms tight.

The original series is great to get a lot of the origin information. I guess it’s hard for new comers, but I grew up with it, so has a special accepting place in my heart.

Deep Space 9 is my personal favorite for political sci-fi. However, there is the occasional whatever episode. This is best to watch is order all the way through.

I still think that lower decks and strange new worlds can not be fully enjoyed without some other older trek shown under your belt, but it’s only a few episodes so you can finish them both quickly.

I abandoned Discovery after season 2 or 3 (I forget) I hear it got ok later on, but idk.

Picard, just watch season 3. I watched the others and then season 3 came out. I forgot about the others.
