Can you get 4k content on any streaming services with kodi?

A bunch of macOS usability tools that I am definitely taking for granted at this point.

If I drink the blue potion, I get tingly and my skin starts sloughing off. Must be the cobalt.
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 day ago:
Yeah that part blows ass. My solution for now is an appletv. They at least don’t shove ads down your throat and their main business models are not based on collecting user data for advertising or databroker purposes (looking at you, google).

I’ve been planning to do the same thing when our current batch of TVs kick the bucket. But I was going to use an appletv, not a NUC, because all of the streaming services only serve 2k through browsers but their apps can get 4k+. And for the rest I’ll run jellyfin and serve from my home media server. The TV will never see the a valid internet connected network.

They make more money from those continued sales through their app store and commercials. I’ve heard (on reddit news articles posted to r/technology, so not exactly the most reliable source) more than the profit for the initial sale of the tv because they actually subsidize the initial price and may sell it at a loss to get those ads in your livingroom.

I get the feeling these will be dominated by manosphere podcasts and testosterone supplements.

They’ve got aluminum frames and aren’t strong enough to hold me. The TV should’ve known!

I just found some on
reddit. What other communities are out there? I’m digging through the 3d print sharing websites but those never feel particularly… community oriented or really communicative at all. - Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #10 2 days ago:
I’m waiting for someone to decide whether they want to pay their mortgage or keep the switch 2. Then I’ll buy their house or switch, whichever is cheaper.

Those upcycled cassette tape cases are sweet! Whoever came up with that idea is my new favorite person.
- Comment on A French law requiring adult sites to run age checks( facial age estimation, ...etc) and block users under 18 became applicable to sites based in France and outside of the EU. 5 days ago:
When I come across a site that demands this, I go to a different site.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 week ago:
I just gave up on windows gaming. If the game cant be played on my steamdeck, I just find something else. Otherwise its macos and linux for anything non-professional that requires windows. And even then I fucking hate it. Oh look at that… all my documents say “Auto-recover (version 1)” because it forcibly rebooted on me.
