Nvidia Shield plugged into my TV running Jellyfin. Occasionally if I get playback issues I’ll open with an external player like Just Player, Vimu, VLC, etc.
Jellyfin used to be pretty rough with playback, especially if you watch with subtitles, but in recent months I’ve rarely had playback issues.
On PC I use mpc/madvr, but usually just to check a video file, not to watch a whole movie. I save that for the TV.
I hired an electrician to rewire an outlet under my sink so that the switch above the sink can control only one of the two plugs. When he was done, I used the outlet tester and found that he hadn’t properly connected the ground wire. I wasn’t planning on connecting an appliance that needed grounding, but I think every outlet in the house should be grounded anyways as a matter of course. Got him to fix it before he left. That $9 I spent 7 years ago paid off as far as I’m concerned.
I have a garage door opener and I guess it’s just not shielded well enough because LED light bulbs interfere with the signal from my remote, just one example. I would much rather buy new incandescent bulbs every few years than replace the opener outright.
Ghost in the Shell (2017) was quite good.
The developers of Lemmy are the type who have jumped the shark when it comes to leftism.

That was one of the coolest games I’ve ever played. I still remember some random guy getting me into a private lobby and step by step teaching me how to K-Style and butterfly which just opened up an entire world of gameplay.
The other thing is that they typically ban you for life, which is harsher even than our legal system. As a society we’ve agreed that it’s possible to pay your debt to society, but private companies have no obligation to see things that way. It’s like we’ve taken rules to deal with trolls in an old school Counter Strike server and tried to extend them to something that resembles a corporatocracy. It’s a lot different and more meaningful to get banned from service provided by a monopolistic company compared to getting banned from your local bar, for example, when you can just go across town to the other one.
Nothing, it’s just an extra charge so that the company can make more money.
I’ve been having the same problem even on my home IP. It only happens when I’m using Firefox though. If I use Chrome, and oddly enough change my IP by routing through my rented VPS and pass a few captchas then Google will eventually start to trust Firefox from my home IP. It’s bizarre and Google is really starting to piss me off because I’m wasting so much time on this shit.
