This sounds like the WP Engine debate.
I avoided transcoding by making sure to only host videos compatible with all clients. Also, I will spend the time to reencode codes that are too large for my taste. Which happens after a rip of uhd disks.
H265 with slow preset really works wonders for non-grainy film. AV1 is what you have to use when there is grain.
Yes, I have run wires to a few rooms, but not everywhere and it can be difficult to convince myself to continue down this path. However, it is the more affordable option.
You mean run wires?
While not really for my hosting, I want to upgrade the Wi-Fi speeds in my home, currently running an eero setup that provides good coverage, but the speed seems poor when transferring large files around the home.
Not sure what to get, but this is my goal.
I want my laundry machine to figure out the best way to wash whatever I toss in automatically without an Internet connection. I guess I'm asking for too much :(
Does the new movie still have the scene where they wash the dwarfs clean? That could interesting to see. ...
Been waiting my whole life for this.
Living in a smal space also helps with lifestyle creep as you can't find a space for new things. Also, only replace something if it's broken or unsafe.
They will then ask for a third term.
I blame the streaming boom and then password sharing crackdowns.
I put it in an eWaste pile which I hope is sending it off to be "recycled". There was no saving my palm pre or touchpads.
It's hard sometimes, I needed a new laptop to get a better CPU for video encoding. I now have my older laptop, which is actually a hand me down, so it's old, but it's going to replace my even older laptop that's running a 2nd gen i3. So that's going to be the one I will likely bring to an eWaste site as it will no longer serve me. Sure I could keep it around as a spare, you never know, but I really doubt that will happen.
All my laptops are running some form of Linux, except one. That's used to run turbo tax (I know) as the windows software is typically much more affordable over the website version. So that saves me like $50 each year.
Anyway, eventually I'll need to toss my old pixel xl as the battery only last about 45 minutes and I think lineage isn't able to update it, I didn't check the last few months. I was planning to have it be my kids first tablet, but a battery replacement is around $75 I think... Just seems not worth it.
My trouble is battery health of older phones and laptops. I typically purchase scratch and dents from Dell outlet and for phones wait for the battery to only make it 4hours before it needs a charge.
