coupla blogs and lemmy subscribed ordered by top day; once I'm done with it, that's it, no doomscrolling no more. all news and sports are filtered out, along with memes and similar stupid shit.

if im really craving something, read a book (thanks Anna!), reinstall one of the cheap laptops I got, go for a run/walk/bike ride etc. works most of the time.

do you have the 4K version? latest ATV app and jellyfin server 10.9.6?

just to confirm, you have the 4K version? latest ATV app and Jellyfin 10.9.6?

it's all directplay, transcoding is disabled server-side and the server logs are the same as when other devices at that location play something. I'll keep digging.

no 4k content, no transcoding (disabled server side), plain ol' 264/265 files, no other devices have issues. worked fine for the first day or two. it's possible there was a system update but I don't know, latest ATV app.

this one also worked as advertised for the first day or two and started glitching by day three. I'd a appreciate if you could ping back in a couple of days whether it's still working.

weeell you kinda misrepresented the stated point, creating what's commonly referred to as a strawman.

the subject isn't a random sandwich that might or might not have contaminates in it; the subject is a shit sandwich. therefore it's pointless to argue exactly how much shit is in a shit sandwich, as its essence and genesis preclude it from being considered nourishment.

now there's copious propaganda out there convincing you it isn't that bad, lotsa people do it, memba the sandwich from decades ago you loved... but we're in the wrong community for that.

does it matter how bad it is? does it matter how much shit is in a shit sandwich?

I'm not having it however little there is.

I do without.

no way am I bothering with installing windows, in a VM or elsewhere.

you're not mentioning which Pixel you're getting for $200 and also that's only twice the stated budget. anyhow, the cheapest Pixel 7 I have locally available is $310 ("lighty used"), which I think is the lowest rung; sixes are like three years old and that's a no bueno for phones with fixed batteries. as an aside, if I'm buying something someone rubbed their face on, spat on, and rubbed all over, I'm paying half price max, not 15% less than NiB ($355 here).

last week I bought a Poco F1 (SDM845/6GB) in not great condition for $60; excellent LineageOS and PostmarketOS support though and easily replaceable batteries. a month or so prior, a Mi 9T Pro (SDM855/6GB) for $80. those are on the high side, there's a ton of LineageOS supported Xiaomi devices for $50 or less if you go down to SDM6xx/4GB, which is plenty for everyday use. they can be had on the cheap because their MIUI operating system is bloated and hella slow so people just upgrade, whereas unlocking the boot loader and flashing an alternative nets you a super useable device.

I'm not saying any of those is as good as a modern Pixel device, but for my use cases they are more than enough.
