I’ve been annoyed by a minor change in the stock Samsung clock app for some time now. I just installed the Fossify one you linked.

Minor nitpick: 24h time doesn’t start with a leading zero.

Everything else seems exactly how it should be.

Thanks.

We’ve got about 2.5 gigabit up and down in my neighbourhood so we’ll be good in that department. I’m going to see if any of my group are interested. I suppose the limit here will then be how many streams my machine can handle at one time. Guess I’ll find out. I appreciate your insight.

Cheers.

Ah I completely forgot streaming away from home. My travels tend to have limited internet access, and so my practice is to download things we might watch through Findroid.

Given your friends have access to your library, what do you think would be required (ideally) for streaming to work without transcoding? As simple as a beefy internet connection, a 4k screen and them having a Shield or equivalent?

I only ask because I know a number of my circle use Shields already and I think the ones in my neighbourhood are all on gigabit connections. Might be worth looking into so long as I’m not in for upgrading the machine. I’m more of a set and forget person myself.

Stepping aside from this particular thread for a moment. Could you share why you need hardware transcoding?

Admittedly, I don’t quite understand what components would build a better machine as far as a media server goes, but I turned off hardware transcoding when I first set Jellyfin up on a NUC. The only issues I have are the startup speed of the app, and every now and then it crashes when loading the library and I just relaunch it and it’s fine.

I’ve assumed it’s the Nvidia Shield doing the heavy lifting as far as playback goes, because I’ve never had a recurring problem with playing any particular file. I’m starting to think I don’t really appreciate the benefits of hardware transcoding.

Echoing @[email protected], I downloaded the first party app right from the Play Store on my Samsung. Though I prefer the third party, Findroid, the first party app is good for the dashboard management.

When we launch Jellyfin, we are shown icons for what user, we select the user, and it opens the associated library. Similar to Netflix.

I started using Jellyfin about two years ago now, and have only encountered a codec issue here and there, but I’ve found it can be worked around by setting playback to another player, like VLC.

Ah okay, I like that implementation. Good to have it be eye-catching and not just a bunch of text. Thanks for letting me know.

Par for the course with online discussions, I’d say. Always difficult to discern the tone of a comment when it’s written down. No harm done.

Cheers!

Do you ever find there are a lot of these signs at any given time? Having them in a designated area by the entryway then maybe again by the shelf where they stock it seems like a good combination.

In my head I worry it might become overwhelming to the point no one reads them anymore. Though I suppose that could be mitigated with a large image of the recalled product, to make it easier to check at a glance without having to stop and read for a minute. I can’t remember ever seeing signage at the shops near me. I wish we had that.

Maybe I’m overthinking it and it’s a rarity to ever have more than a couple products be recalled at a single time. Can’t say I’ve put much thought into any of this before.

I understood that from your comment. I wasn’t contradicting you or challenging what you said, just wondering aloud how we might go about it and pointing out some flaws in my own point.

That said, even if this article was published the day of the recall, I imagine only a minority of the affected purchasers would ever see it. I couldn’t say I’ve ever looked at a recipes website to inform me of important consumer news.

I’m not quite sure how this would done in a timely-er fashion. Signage in the stores? In theory, anyone paying with plastic could have been contacted through the card company.

That would involve the manufacturer alerting the store, the store alerting all the various card companies, then the card companies alerting the customer. That’s a lot of infrastructure to keep running and to do so fast enough that the customer finds out within a day or two of the recall.

Expensive. Worthwhile given the potential to save lives or hospital stays, but you know how companies are.

This would also involve admitting all your purchase history is collected and stored in a way that is not anonymized, which I don’t think people would quite like to be explicitly told about.

Sure, gram for gram, Tony’s has 34% more lead than California would like, but their chocolate is still sold in the state.

To add to what @[email protected] pointed out, the Mast bar is 70g for $8, while Tony’s bar is 180g for $6.

Gram for gram, Mast is more than triple the price.

You just reminded me I’ve got to mail my modem back. Thanks!

Damn, no one got the joke about the two top commenters in the thread becoming the same entity?

Oh well, it was pretty low effort.

Pretty big thought you’ve got there.

Have you considered joining forces with another influential thought leader such as @[email protected]? Together you could better serve the commenting community across the platform.

“Ireland does not give preferential tax treatment to any companies or taxpayers,” stated a spokesperson from the Irish Ministry of Finances.

I wish the media would eviscerate these people like they used to.

Not exactly related to this article but, I looked this judge up on Ballotpedia, and found this funny little tidbit.

Judge Merchan handed the Trump Organization a $1.6M fine in that tax case a couple years ago. The District Attorney for Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, said:

“While corporations can’t serve jail time, this consequential conviction and sentencing serves as a reminder to corporations and executives that you cannot defraud tax authorities and get away with it.”

What a head of cabbage. As if a couple million dollars is anything to these corporations. These fines need to be double digit percentages of revenue before they get viewed as anything other than a line item on the expense report.

Oddly enough, last year I used dish soap in the laundry for a few months without noticing, and nothing like this happened. I was surprised when I looked it up and saw this kind of thing as a common occurrence. Couldn’t believe I had picked up this container each weekend for months without noticing the picture of plates and glasses on the front.

I understand now these soaps are quite different from one another and the fact nothing happened to me is a fluke, so definitely don’t do this on purpose.

What an invaluable sacrifice. She no doubt saved the lives of multiple children, and her actions will radiate throughout their lifetimes.

Not sure why articles like these don’t link the donation pages, but it’s currently about £40k raised of the £50k goal.

I’m not sure if the last line is condemning bus drivers specifically or individual drivers in general, but either way, it’s a shame so many families have lost loved ones to these accidents.

Yet another Trump appointee swinging her undeserved gavel to keep hundreds of millions in the pockets of big business.
