Not having to pay for hardware transcoding/tonemapping is the biggest „selling“point for Jellyfin. I used to have plex before. It worked well but I didn’t want to pay 100€ for transcoding. Never tried emby for the very same reason.

And there I thought the coin slots only existed so university students had to invest at least 50ct before putting them in their shared flats…

I‘m German. It’s in my DNA.

Depends on the hardware. Intel Chips with big.LITTLE design (aka e-cores and p-cores) work better in 11 because its scheduler is built with core configurations in mind (unless a semi-recent update also brought that to 10. My information is not the newest. I replaced 11 with Linux pretty quickly)

It does not. A regular percolator does, as it circulates the coffee back into the boiling water, unlike a moka pot, where the finished coffee does not sit at the bottom close to the heat, but in the top compartment. You should take it off the stove as soon as it’s done to avoid getting the finished coffee back to a boil or overextracting the coffee but if you do it right, they make really good coffee. There are even some versions that feature a valve, so the coffee is cooked at a higher pressure, getting it a little closer to espresso and producing a nice –albeit short lived – crema.

Nah, the macOS equivalent would be going to starbucks

By units shipped it’s mediatek. Also, according to ARM, Qualcomm is in violation of their license. This is how they wanna make sure Qualcomm pays what ARM thinks they owe them, which seems fair, if they’re in the right.

You don’t need apple if you have two other megacorps bitching with each other.

Their best customer would be mediatek though. Their chips aren’t as fast but they sell more of them and to ARM only the latter really matters.

No Problem with buying games that launch broken and get fixes later. I‘ll just get them once they’re fixed.

Nah, they defs do. Just less. Also, the trend seems to go towards single player again, so maybe there’s hope for the future. Big multiplayer releases bombing is definitely a sign for devs, too.

The game’s not different. But the launcher is missing some features and also, it’s not just a launcher but a store and some percentage of the money you pay for the game goes to them. And if you don’t want to give Epic Games money (which would be fair, considering their relations with for example tencent), buying a game there is out of the question.

But if you don’t like the platform and don’t want to support it, what do you do then?

And a lot of people don’t like epic games for a number of reasons.

On the other hand though, the amount of people who sideload free apps is very small because that’s only really interesting for people with degoogled smartphones.

No, but you can download the APKs anyways. Which is most likely exactly why this is being implemented. I doubt many developers of free apps are going to turn this feature on.

There‘s also no functional difference between a cable with one plug and a cable with another plug, if you never swap the cable.

I‘m not saying it’s the perfect solution but it beats having an extra adapter hanging on your cable.

They don’t though, if they don’t swap their headphones between devices with different connectors. A cable is not a dongle, unless you’re considering all wired headphones to need a dongle to plug into any device.

I‘m not constantly switching those headphones between devices. I use them with my phone, when I want to actively listen to lossless music, so I got the cable that works for that. When I eventually upgrade to a phone with USB-C, I’ll get a cable for that.

And most of the time, when I’m out n about I use cheap wireless earbuds anyways, because I don’t like fighting with cables when I‘m actively doing stuff and all I listen to with them are podcasts anyways.

Yes, I would be happier with a headphone jack but I don’t have one, so what else can I do?

As I already said, the cable is removable. If I want to use them with a usb-c device, I can exchange the cable for one with a usb-c plug and if I want to use them with a standard headphone jack, I can get one with that. It’s a bog standard pair of cans with removable cable. I can even get cables with in line microphones or short cables or extra long cables or with entirely different connectors. It’s just a 5€ cable. Also, when I bought the cable, the connector wasn’t yet obsolete. Lightning has been around for quite a while.

And sure, it’s not as good as just having a headphone jack, but as I don’t have one on my phone, that’s the next best thing, if I want a wired connection.

Don’t need a dongle life, necessarily. I have a decent pair of cans with removable cable, so I just got a cable that terminates in a lightning connector. And through magnetic wireless charging I can even charge while listening to music.

Sure, that’s not optimal, not the solution for everyone and no reason for phone manufacturers to not include headphone jacks but it does work and without dongles at that.
