The CM4 is roughly an order of magnitude faster than the PSP

I'm surprised Github even respond to DMCA claims rather than passing the buck like they do for GDPR*. Perhaps they are more respectful to home laws

*They wash their hands of any GDPR deletion/anonymisation requests, instead passing them and your identity documents to the repository owner!

I’d go so far as to say A/B testing should be regulated against. It’s a slimy behaviour and a failure of capitalism. A real world comparison is buying a used product that has been repaired with sub-par parts, and unless you have another one to compare against, you might just think that’s how they all are

Don't know why this was downvoted, it is the only zen garden like example I've come across. Multiple completely transformative CSS themes for user selection, not just light/dark/colourisation of the same layout

For some reason this is a thing on almost every private torrent tracker

I'd love a Kodi theme with the design and responsiveness of the Jellyfin Roku app but sadly nothing I've tried has come close. I always end up going back to the default Kodi theme - it's ugly but it works.

(I'd jump to Roku or Apple TV on my main setup in a heartbeat if they supported DV 7 FEL and all audio passthrough formats.)

See CoreELEC/LibreELEC/etc - totally replaces the (potentially dodgy) Android OS on these kind of streaming boxes with a stripped down Linux+Kodi setup

It still blows my mind that no OLED TV has yet added simple temporal blending between frames, the kind of which MPV has had for decades. They could even take it a step further and emulate the colour-dependent blending of LCD screens. But no instead it's the same terrible motion interpolation algorithms of 15+ years ago, or nothing.

What >100mbps content is there? 4K bluray just needs a bigger buffer to handle >100mbps spikes (Kodi for example offers this) and Moonlight/Apollo/etc is well into diminishing returns

I solved mine by chronically exposing myself to very low noise during sleep - wearing good earplugs in an already silent room. To the point where you can hear your eyeballs move etc. I guess this may be where the link to good sleep comes from, which implies a quiet sleeping environment

A bug(?) exists to disable liquid ass on the Home Screen that still works in 26.3 - enable Reduce Motion globally in accessibility settings, then add a per app accessibility override for “Home Screen & App Library” with Reduce Motion off, then reboot. Somehow this disables liquid ass throughout the Home Screen, back to iOS 18 gaussian blurs

Yeah it’s more of an annoyance for sure. I only discovered it was a thing when intentionally MITMing a domain on my router

Even with default https etc, HSTS still adds some defence against MITM - browsers won’t let you even forcibly accept a self signed certificate
