Well, no one‘s saying Spotifys implementation is any good. But the theory that true randomness doesn’t always feel random still stands true. Most music player/streaming apps implement this in some way. Some better, some worse.

A lot of non work related accounts are switching to 2FA and Google authentication is the most well known compatible app. Most definitely not the best though.

Ich bin ein grundoptimistischer Mensch und die amerikanische Lösung für Geschäftsführer von Versicherungen scheint auch auf Staatsmänner übertragbar zu sein. Nicht, dass ich irgendjemandem den Tod wünsche, aber es wäre weder der erste Präsident, noch die ersten Schüsse auf den kommenden Präsidenten.

Weil stabile Regierungen wohl in letzter Zeit eine Seltenheit geworden sind.

Well, they haven’t so far removed denuvo from a single game, even those that have been cracked already. Ubisoft is big enough, that they might have their very own deal with Denuvo

On hiatus, apparently. Hasn’t cracked anything since July 2023. Not sure why.

Thanks to denuvo and there currently not being any active group capable of cracking denuvo, it’s not a guarantee the game will be cracked. Assassin‘s creed mirage took until last month, over a year after release, for a pirated copy to be available and it uses a debug executable, which may not become available for any other games or at least not in a timely manner. It might not be possible to play those games without the BS. Or on Linux, if it doesn’t run without kernel access for RAM monitoring

I mean, the idea is, that the tarriffed stuff becomes less attractive compared to the non-tarriffed stuff due to the higher price, so less people will buy it and instead the nationally produced alternatives thus strengthening the national economy and and weakening the tarriffed ones.

Of course that can only work with stuff that has nationally produced (or at least non-tarriffed) alternatives.

Die Rewe website ist auch nicht verkehrt. Auf Arbeit kocht ein Kollege einmal die Woche fürs ganze Team und die Rezepte sind immer von Rewe und immer lecker und nicht übermäßig kompliziert.

Ach ja, das Notrezept: angebrannte Sägespänsuppe ohne Salz

Ah. That makes it a little more complicated, of course. Otherwise, I‘d have suggested getting an old second hand 5.1 audio receiver with S/PDIF input and using your TVs digital output (or an HDMI audio extractor if it doesn’t have one) to get the signal to your speakers. Receivers like that are usually very cheap. I’ve seen them go for less than 10€ in perfectly working condition.

But good that there’s a solution to get DV working. The Linux community never seizes to amaze me. Good luck implementing it.

Do you drive your surround speakers directly via analog outputs on your PC?

I can’t say with complete confidence, but since HDR support in linux is fairly new and DolbyVision is a proprietary standard, you’re probably out of luck when playing the files directly.

However, since you have an apple tv, you can set up a media server (be it jellyfin, plex, emby, DLNA or even a simple SMB fileserver) and stream to the apple tv via a media player app that supports DV. The easiest setup would probably be plex.

I think the argument still is, that those aren’t „real“ Nokias. At the very least they’re not the same Nokia that built the 3310, as that Nokia isn’t in the consumer electronics market anymore.

Keine 5% Hürde ist in Weimar damals halt auch schief gegangen.

Außerdem bin ich sehr ok damit, wenn die FDP wieder unter der Hürde fällt.

Well, my internet connection would have to be a lot faster, and they would all need devices that support UHD h.265 and HDR10 playback. But if you have have gigabit upload and they all have shields or similar with just as fast connections, you’re good to go without transcoding (if no one wants to access it through mobile)

I regularly watch on my server when I’m not home and a few friends of mine also have access to it, so I need the content to be available in SDR and lower bit rates. When I stream from home, I‘d like to have access to the full quality and HDR though, so either I need multiple versions of each film or hardware encoding/tonemapping and a used gtx 1050ti was a lot cheaper than the required storage would be to have 4 or 5 versions of every film.

But yes, if you’re only streaming within the same network, hardware transcoding isn’t necessary in the slightest. But then a SMB fileshare might also suffice…

As I need hardware transcoding, that makes emby immediately non viable for me. I also usually watch via various apps and on tv, which, if you don’t have emby premiere are also not free to use.

It’s free and open source. That alone is a big plus. And it works fairly well. What does emby do better, that warrants paying $120 for it?

Yea. Although I do use iMessage with a few people, it’s not really a big thing here in Germany, so I also do use different apps. The main app, that requires me to get out my phone, is Snapchat, as there’s no desktop app and the webapp sucks.
