you can pirate on a kindle it's just more annoying to do

Kobo is the go-to for bang for buck readers that don't care where your files are from and have good format support. got my dad a libra 2 and it's great, especially with the physical page turn buttons. the default reader opens most files just fine, but you can also put KoReader on them for more functionality without too much hassle.

Personally I use an older Boox Note 3 which is easier since it runs android, but is massive overkill to be used as just a reader, i use it as my main tablet and a notepad/sketchpad.

Jellyfin has come a hell of a long way since it first forked from Emby. sure its not as feature complete and polished as plex but it's far from shit, and it's free and open.

I run both side by side with several clients on each and have been a plexpass holder since 2013.

time for a re-watch. it gets better with time.

and by better I mean the existential dread is worse.

Sure, but something tells me the kinds of people who use software like Wondershare and Aiseesoft video converters arent going to be writing their own FFMPEG automations in batch files or bash scripts.

Basically everything worth using is just a wrapper for FFMPEG these days, so they all perform the same, just with different interfaces. So Handbrake will always be the go-to for the basics, but if you are looking for automation and custom processing based on rules you set out, then FileFlows is worth playing with

you have been able to right click (or i guess two finger click for apple people) and open a second window forever.

You can have multiple finder windows in OSX, thats perfectly normal, but you cant have the network settings open next to the printer settings.

I'm pretty positive on mac OS, as an OS it's technically quite good, but their preferences app has always been atrocious almost entirely for this reason, I want to have two preferences windows open to different pages please..

Thus why im moving to 11. Lots of the PCs I work with are still 10 though.

Mostly 11 now. I honestly prefer it to 10 now, but that's with quite about of decrapification done to remove all of Microsoft's bullshit.

At home I'm mostly using Ubuntu, but it's basically covering firefox as all of my self-hosted stuff runs in thevbrowser and I don't game much.

I hope your firewall is up to scratch.

honestly I still cant figure out how to configure a network interface properly without using the old control panel.

 

Gday folks,

Has anyone have any luck tracking down a source for surround and or Atmos music? whether it by DVD-A, BD-A, SACD, DTS-CD etc etc. Not looking for concerts here (I have plenty of those) but proper albums specifically mixed in multichannel and spacial formats.

I have pretty much everything I can find on Usenet and public trackers and have backed up all of my physical media but there is a lot out there that I know exists.
