I have a mid range samsung (that I bought without much research due to some circumstances) on which HDR does not look good at all, way too dark, but HDR10+ is just amazing.

So right now I am using Jellyfin with HDR10+ web-dls (when I can find them) and blu-ray remuxes for old stuff. But Jellyfin triggers transcodes for vobsub and FLAC/DTS audio which I am trying to avoid if possible. Kodi on my older Sony Android direct played anything I threw at it flawlessly for years. So the only option I found was finding or importing a decent android box, which is a bit difficult and expensive in my region.

Does DolbyVision or HDR10+ content work in this setup? My understanding is that they won't. I also got a lot of stuttering issue with 1080p x265 content last time I tried hooking up the Pi with my TV.

I would love to get Kodi working with HDR10+ on my Samsung TV without buying those expensive android boxes (which are very expensive and difficult to obtain in my region anyway).

well you see, in corporate (atleast in big tech), this is usually used as a justification to merge inefficient code (we will optimize it later). That later never comes, either the developers/management moves on or the work item never gets prioritized. That is until the bad software either causes outages or customer churn. Then it is fixed and shown as high impact in your next promo packet.

Supabase is inaccessible in India since the last 5 days. Government has given no reason for the blanket ban.

I highly doubt that. "The algorithm" will surely adjust the recommendations per geography. I don't think most westerners are getting T-Series recommendation in their feed as well.

I might be reading this wrong, but sounds kinda racist to me?

The classic defense used by cigarette companies historically. We are just rolling up some naturally growing leaves, leaves can't be addictive. Users are responsible for diseases and addiction. We don't target minors.

Would highly recommend Mint. Very stable, sensible defaults. Updates never broke anything in the past several years I have been using it on desktop and laptop. Just install the latest LTS version, turn on automatic updates and forget about it.

It is not available for linux in the download page despite the article saying otherwise.

They weren't supposed to do anything with our gmail data as well. That didn't stop them.
