Whilst this is nice. I’ve had a color ebook reader for maybe four years. It’s not a new technology.

How?

The native apps are functionally webapps, they are not “native”. You should be able to tell that if you “work in mobile”.

A native ui wouldn’t have much or any impact on time to show your dashboard. But it would add an astronomical overhead to the development costs

Jellyfin is 90% plex, and it’s impressive how it comes forward in leaps and bounds, but it’s not better than plex. People just appreciate it more.

If you only need that 90% that it does (and don’t need things like intro detection, conversions, mobile sync, ass/sas subtitles), then you’ll come away super happy with not having to pay plex and not being locked into plex.

It doesn’t really do much over that 90%, it’s just neat that the 90% isn’t plex

Nothing glow-in-the-dark is anything that could be described as “bright.” What you probably want is something that is florescent under a blacklight. Someone probably makes something specifically for that, but otherwise, a lot of dyes are naturally florescent

This “no mans land” you speak of is probably 99.999% of home assistant users. Managing docker is not something that most people want to do or know about.

At the very least I don’t feel like I need more out of Firefox than it has today. If it all goes to shit, then a free Firefox Ala chromium would do fine.

It depends how far it is, and personal preference.

4k makes a massive difference for me on my TV, I’ll opt for it whenever I can. But it’s all personal preference and circumstance which is good to remember.

Your situation isn’t the same as everyone’s, theirs a valid use for 1080p but also for 4k

Home cinemas could make use of 8k, but we’re talking about 4k in this thread

It really depends on the size of tv. It’s like a cinema screen, you want very high resolutions for that even though it’s far away, because it’s a large size

I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap

in the nicest way possible. lower your expectations. or accept the data-selling, or VPN through europe so you can deny the ads.

Look for air mouse. It’s basically a wiimote. Uses gyroscope to pretend to be a pointer device. You’ll need that because you’re basically going to need to use a web browser if you want to go down this path.

It’s not a nice experience but all the nice experiences you won’t like.

You can call a service on an area, that’s what I do

If you want different behaviors on different days, you can use conditionals to check. I’d probably have a weekend automation vs a weekday one tho.

Generally, I just base my light states on motion sensors, turn on if motion, turn off if the motion sensor reports unoccupied

Keep things as simple in ha automations as possible because it really sucks trying to do anything more complicated. That’s when people turn to node red

Yeah, but the other guy seems just to be mad about the timed demo thing. The online thing is different

Okay, but that hasn’t been true basically forever. The 15-minute (less?) Resident evil 2 demo comes to mind. I remember Rollercoaster Tycoon being a timed demo too.

Timed demos have been around forever even if you don’t like the concept.

yup, the very popular stuff you can usually (but not always) buy on disk. the less popular stuff you can sometimes (but not often) buy on disk if the creator really pushes for it

Nope. Not how it works. You don’t have to agree to anything. You don’t have to read anything. The provider has to inform you, which they do even if you block it.

The tos applies to their service, that is, they have a cloud service, and you have to abide the tos to use it. It doesn’t factor into hardware or software specifically but their hardware and software might not work without the service

This is a profoundly American problem op. The rest of the world does not have these issues. Contact you’re representatives and ask them why this is the only place in the world that has this issue.
