| 02:02:03 | <nukke> | the state of TV/home teahter is dire |
| 02:03:18 | <nukke> | linux *still* doesn't support HDR so you can't just use a mini PC running Linux without compromising in one way or another. nvidia shield also started injecting ads. using the TV OS is a horrendous experience. most streaming services are either expensive and offer ads or cheap and offer ads |

| 02:10:33 | <fireonlive> | nukke: ugh, the shield too? |
| 02:10:48 | <fireonlive> | i was just thinking a bit ago maybe apple and them were the last ones |
| 02:11:19 | <fireonlive> | i'm surprised linux doesn't support HDR yet |
| 02:22:36 | <fireonlive> | https://dozzle.dev/guide/analytics `--no-analytics DOZZLE_NO_ANALYTICS` |
| 02:22:38 | <fireonlive> | 🤔 |
| 02:22:48 | <steering> | i actually, truly, and deeply hate TVs and associated stuff |
| 02:24:19 | <steering> | we've got a fire stick that bugs out, hangs, crashes, and stops responding to input a couple times a week; several rokus that all dont respond to the app/wifi remote around 90% of the time; an android tv (google tv? idk, whatever) that stopped working after boot (but the boot logo shows up fine...) and the manufacturer refused to fix it under warranty |
| 02:25:28 | <steering> | you can use windows but then you're stuck without a "remote" style interface in 99% of apps (if there even *is* a windows app and you don't have to just use your browser) |
| 02:26:07 | <steering> | if you use linux you're *definitely* stuck using a browser |
| 02:26:44 | <steering> | the "best" option is somewhere around "a wireless keyboard and touchpad, and a browser" which *sucks* |
| 02:27:32 | <steering> | at least the solution to streaming services is simple though |
| 02:29:58 | <fireonlive> | ugh, firestick is no fun either eh |
| 02:30:01 | <fireonlive> | has my name in it too! |
| 02:30:20 | <fireonlive> | given it's amazon i bet they under specced it and then bloated the software lol |
| 02:30:29 | <nukke> | "best" is really stretching it. you need chrome because widevine is a *must* if you wanna watch content at anything more than 1080p |
| 02:30:49 | <steering> | nukke: i mean... what's better? |
| 02:30:58 | <steering> | also the same solution to streaming services works there |
| 02:31:00 | | steering hoists a flag |
| 02:31:04 | | @JAA adjusts his eyepatch. |
| 02:31:27 | <steering> | keep in mind, best != good ;) |
| 02:32:15 | <steering> | oh yeah i didn't mention all the ad's on the fire stick... the roku has ads but i don't mind them at all, just unobtrusive banners on home & screensaver |
| 02:32:21 | <nukke> | that's fair, but again, even if you have pirated hdr/dolbi vision content, you won't be able to play it properly on linux |
| 02:32:39 | <steering> | the fire on the other hand literally takes away your home screen sometimes and replaces it with an ad that autoplays sound which is obviously what i want when i just hit the home button to stop plex playing theme music |
| 02:32:54 | <nukke> | i mean you can do tonemapping to effectively transform it into sdr, but at that point you're just not playing content "as intended" |
| 02:33:12 | <fireonlive> | steering: ewww |
| 02:33:16 | <nukke> | (but then again people, in the year of 2024, are okay with watching hdcam rips) |
| 02:33:33 | <steering> | yeahh sure but note i didn't specify an OS for that browser to run on xP |
| 02:33:42 | <fireonlive> | nukke: that's how i watched dune 2 🫣 |
| 02:33:45 | <fireonlive> | telesync lol |
| 02:33:50 | <@JAA> | Back in my days, we were happy to get a 240p CAM. |

| 02:33:53 | <fireonlive> | xD |
| 02:33:56 | <steering> | personally idgaf about hdr |
| 02:34:15 | <fireonlive> | nukke: to be fair, a friend wanted to see it and was only here for a short time/didn't want to wait like i suggested :3 |
| 02:34:26 | <fireonlive> | so i was like ok fine |
| 02:34:35 | <steering> | i have a few cams right now, but those are for kiddo |
| 02:34:45 | <steering> | so she doesnt drag my wife to the theater to watch the same movie for a 2nd and 3rd time |
| 02:34:53 | <nukke> | this conversation is gonna give me an aneurysm |
