They are disabling it because the license cost went up 4 cents? Just pass that cost onto the customer. Even if they mark that up several times, I would rather pay that than have my battery drained because I have to software decode a video.
There is still a lot of H.265 content out there. I have many terabytes of it that I don’t want to transcode.
TV seasons usually get uploaded to TorrentLeech pretty quickly. They are freeleech too.
You can’t hide or get rid of the browser fingerprint, but some addons can help to randomize it so it looks like you’re using a different device every time you visit a site.
It is not recommended to run the arr stack through a VPN because cloudflare will cause problems. Only the torrent client should go through the VPN.
Inleed.xyz has free email hosting with IMAP and POP3 access. You can have as many accounts as you want, but there’s a limit of 1GB shared between all of them.
You need to backup any data you want to keep to another drive before installing.
Make sure there’s nothing important on the flash drive too. Writing the iso will erase everything on it.
They’ve had it for years. It can be difficult to sign up for though.
You get a lot of resources for free, but don’t use them for anything important. They can nuke your account for any reason.
You can also use exFAT if you want cross platform support. It’s had a Linux kernel driver for quite a while now.
Yes, they do require you to use their nameservers unless you have a business account.
The AI bubble can’t pop soon enough.
Some people modify phones to run without an internal battery. That’s a bit of a pain since the screen will have to be detached and there will be wires hanging out though.
Laptops are easier. Most of them will still boot with the battery disconnected. They will usually show a warning during boot and some of them will require you to press a key to continue booting. Running without a battery may limit the performance, especially if you’re not using the highest wattage charger the laptop supports.
I used to use dynv6, but I started having issues about 2 years ago. DNS records would just stop resolving until I deleted and recreated them. Their forum has been broken for years, so there’s no way to get support.
If you only need 5 records or less, give FreeDNS a try.
If you leave the phone on the charger for years, the battery will swell up and split the case or crack the screen.
That means apps tend to stop working if the developers don’t keep updating them. Mobile operating systems much, much worse backwards compatibility than windows. If the device hosts its own website instead of using an app, it will most likely work fine decades from now without any updates.
Mobile apps bit rot pretty quickly when they stop updating them. A web UI would be better. A server or internet connection is not needed, a web UI can be hosted directly on the device.
Some do, you can use noai.duckduckgo.com if you don’t want AI.
Not when it comes with the huge downside of non upgradeable RAM. I will carry around a huge power bank before I buy a laptop with soldered RAM.
Almost no one is using NiCd anymore. It’s not hard to design something to run properly from alkaline, NiMH & Li-Ion cells. We have efficient switch mode power supplies that can step the battery voltage up or down to whatever the device needs to run.
Pouch cells suck, there are no standard sizes and they like to puff up and break open the case of whatever they are inside of.
At least the streaming sites seem to be taking the media companies attention away from the other methods of acquiring content.
