You can tell Elon is a genius because he gets people to pay to do prototype testing for him.
It highkey kinda sucks tho, being implicitly all like "I I can'thave Apollo do Reddit than nobody can have it!". Its really childish and selfish in the way it fucks over almthe people who grew dependant on it for their Reddit-type social fix app
Maybe I’ve missed something but as far as I’m aware he hasn’t done anything to try and stop Voyager; he just didn’t give it a seal of approval.
As a practical matter, I wouldn't invest any time or money into the guy's projects anymore not because he doesn't do amazing UI/UX/App work, but because he is not someone is seems to plan long-term or is advised by anyone who could have told him this would be a problem legally or administratively etc.
I think he absolutely does plan ahead. The fact that he was able to absorb the expense of all the refunds he was forced to issue for subscriptions that extended beyond his ability to access the API speaks directly to that.
Not to mention his foresight in being able to bring receipts when Spez and the other Reddit admins attempted to smear him in the press.
I think you feel more strongly about it than I do, so I’m not trying to change your mind or anything. I’m just adding my perspective.
I know; I understand where he was coming from and kinda get it, but I’m not going to stop using it.
Oh Christian…when will you learn you’re not big enough to disrupt existing power structures?
You’re an Aaron Swartz; not a Sam Altman…

They do have a prior project that has been delivered successfully.
Basically the same device minus the screen with just a bare board with LED indicators and powered by a coin cell battery:

240W Data Speed?
Then there is QNAP. Apparently their system QTS is not as polished as DSM, but everything needed should still be there. There's similarly priced, similarly equipped TS-462. It's just dual-core CPU, but has more RAM (not upgradeable though) and it seems it can accept M.2 as storage at least. As per internet research, the build quality is just as good as Synology.
I have the QNAP TS-462. It’s my first and only NAS so I don’t have any points of comparison for you. Feel free to ask any questions you have and I can try and answer for you.
I do want to point out that the RAM is upgradable, but, unintuitively, only on the smaller 4GB RAM SKU; the 8GB RAM SKU has the memory soldered on.
I learned this the hard way and had to return the first one that arrived, but I currently have the memory maxed out at 16GB.
Come to think of it the AppleTV app does say a piece of media doesn’t have subs when it does. And if I turn them on the playback hangs for ~10 seconds.
I don’t get the play/buffer/play/buffer issue but I only really use it on my LAN so not really a surprise there.
Can Jellyfin and Plex point to the same libraries and coexist?
I haven’t tried it before but maybe I should. I don’t have huge complaints with the Plex AppleTV app. I just find it laggy at times.

That gives them a year or two to fix HKSV.
Not counting on it…
