Something that existed until the beginning of 2025.

I just need Jellyfin to fix their subtitles issues on Apple TV and I’ll be all set. Swiftfin needs some work yet, though I’m told the fix is in the pipeline for release soon^™ (probably by Q1 next year?).

I use utterly unique and very long passphrases for the most important stuff (banking, mortgage servicing, email, etc.), 2FA for those and most other things, and just throwaway crap passwords for things I don’t care about (web forums and most everything else).

That’s a protected class. What the fuck?

Basic headset would be good for sim racing.

Betty was a treasure, and I unabashedly enjoyed The Golden Girls.

What a bunch of pussies.

Don’t insult pussies like that. They’re made of sterner stuff. These guys are more like a gooey, smelly puddle of Santorum.

Fuckers.

Phrasing.

That one, single downvote like, “say it ain’t so! You take that back!” 🤣

It’s not necessarily about the devices. Kobo books are very easy to remove DRM from, and don’t require owning a physical Kobo device or their app to do so. All it requires is two Calibre plugins. And EPUB is not a proprietary format, unlike AZW3 and KFX.

Also, I might be wrong, but it seems Kobo has a lot more DRM free books in general, compared to Amazon.

Kindle has always required either the Kindle app or an actual physical Kindle to de-DRM.

Might be too late. Winterbreak hasn’t worked since 5.18.1 and the latest firmware is 5.18.5. If you’ve been updating your firmware normally, jailbreak has been unviable since around April or May, at least for the 11th and 12th gen devices.

To be fair, if you OCR the pages via camera, you haven’t actually circumvented DRM. That means it’s a completely legal backup, as the DRM on the original file was untouched and unaltered. This definitely does fall under fair use.

Not entirely true. E-ink is trademarked by the e-ink company, sole manufacturer of e-ink displays.

That part isn’t Amazon-related.

Amazon is full of shit. EPUBs only work by using send-to-Kindle which converts it to a file that works (either AZW3 or KFX. Despite the misinformation, EPUBs do not work on Kindle, except if you jailbreak, as you can then use KOReader to read them natively.

That last point is salient, as it means the hardware supports the format just fine. Amazon intentionally does not directly support EPUBs in their software.

I upgraded from Windows 11 to EndeavourOS. No regrets, it’s a huge improvement.

Had to look up what asmr was. No, I don’t think that’s me. I don’t think I’d dislike it, but I don’t seek out that sort of content.

I just find his voice very irritating. I know not everyone feels that way.

Thanks for that. Not entirely as bad as originally indicated, but still pretty shady on LTT’s part

With everything I know of it, Linus was just rug-sweeping it before the exposé. Feels like Billet Labs got screwed but took the high road to prevent drama because LTT has a big community.

About the Billet Labs thing, they have shown, and Billet Labs verified it, that the original agreement was that LTT would keep the cooler.

Shown where? I’ve seen no evidence of that anywhere, and I was following that controversy when it happened.
