Not sure, I don’t use Jellyfin myself. I use Emby. It’s the more feature rich and polished older brother of Jellyfin.
I’ve been following Jellyfin’s progress because I’d like to go full FOSS but it’s still just not there yet. UI, clients, performance, all too big a downgrade from Plex still.
I can definitely recommend you look into Emby. It’s still the best alternative to Plex’s enshittification.
They finally added intro skipping within the last month that works with the web client. Now we just have to wait for clients to update.
It’s a corporate store with a unified return policy, which unfortunately lists acceptable reasons for return and a TV that works but has bad backlight bleed is not one of them. The lesson learned here is pay closer attention to the warranties and return policies when you buy things. Unfortunately I didn’t anticipate backlight bleed that bad even being a thing that could happen. There is often a small amount when buying LED TVs so I expected there to be some.
Unfortunately this strategy depends on you having access to a retailer with a better policy, many may not.
Oh no I live in the U.S. we don’t really do consumer protections.
Your opinion doesn’t matter. What matters is everyone else’s opinion. Our interpretation of that TV is “Obviously defective”, but in their eyes it turns on and plays media and sound, and if you crank the brightness all the way up then in very bright scenes you don’t notice the blue tint.
My only actual remedy in this case was go to small claims court, which costs money on top of time off from work, and winning would require explaining backlight bleed to a 70 year old judge and that while it’s normal, not to this degree. And even if I won, this would be against Sony so maybe after that they ban me from doing any kind of business with them ever again and I’d lose access to thousands of dollars worth of games I’d pay for and lose the ability to play my $500 game console. This shit is just stacked against you and there’s no real winning except to not buy their product in the first place. But what do you do when any manufacturer on the market can and would do this to you? Never buy a TV again I suppose.
You’re not going to win a chargeback determination in this case either.
You will be, as I was, shit out of luck.
Premium televisions are already pumped full of this stuff
If your retailer has a generous enough policy to let you return an opened TV because simply because you don’t like it. I spent $1,200 on a Sony TV with backlight bleed issues that were so bad that half the screen was tinted blue. I tried to return it or get a replacement but was told by both the retailer and Sony support that half the screen being blue was “normal for LED TVs and within acceptable parameters” and to go fuck myself.
An ad giant already owns and controls my current TV’s OS
Don’t forget easily manipulated
This isn’t even like a personal opinion or a thought experiment. Pirating was huge, then Netflix popularized streaming and pirating went WAY down, and then the streaming experience went to shit and pirating went back up.
Bluesky doesn’t even have to be Mastodon. It just has to Twitter before it went bad.
I say this as someone who likes fediverse microblogging (Mastodon, MissKey, etc) it will never be Mastodon. Mastodon and its maintainers are staunchly against all the things that would make it a viable replacement to Twitter.
Is he not the very same president who tried to ban it before?
Termius is phenomenal if remote SSH is your goal. The portability between desktop and phones is flawless, and it’s truly one of the only subscription services I gladly pay for. They come out with nice regular updates too.
If all you need is a slick terminal to use locally though, kitty is great.
