Sure you can convert the DVD to whatever codec, I have found the original mpeg stream to not be very compatible with my devices. When I did 264, it was more for speed. It's a 480 p/I mpeg2 stream, I don't think 265 is worth the extra CPU cycles for this case. This is also just an opinion. πŸ‘

True about AC3 being left alone, but dts should be converted, I can't seem to get that to bitstream as nice as Dolby tracks.

I do reencode my uhd rips, to bring them down to 1080. I only have one 4k display and it's not worth the bandwidth to try and stream it for me.

Did you try Kodi? Also, I recommend reencoding your dvd rips to h264 with eAC3 audio.

Since it's not active, it looks to just be geo based as changing my VPN location makes it work.... This was my first time visiting the website and it was showing someone opening an egg he boiled for 2 hours... πŸ’€

I didn't read the whole article, but I wonder what's a good way to transition from a large C# project to rust. I guess we'll need some common IPC and go from there till the whole project is replaced? Idk . Need to think about this more.

Bottles was having the same issue. I was attempting to install SimTower off the CD copy I have and they all were having issues running. I believe it's a permissions issue that I could figure out, but not sure. After spending hours i went down the distro route and it worked perfectly the first time. Was able to run the installation for the game and launch it from wine.

What Linux distro are you using? I'm on Aurora and wine doesn't really work unless you install it from the distrobox.

If our kids aren't even safe at school then why the hell do we care so much about air travel?

Can we just move all school to inside airports?

Dang, I just got a heart monitor that synced to Google fit to get my target heart points tracked...

Yeah, if the streaming providers ever switch over to AV1 that would be an interesting comparison.

I was sitting in my car the other day and was able to tilt my phone just right under the sunlight to see the two sensors under the screen. This is a pixel 7. I noticed that the finger print sensor was crooked while the top sensor was pretty straight. It got me thinking for all the people with issues against the finger print sensor, I wonder if theirs is more mis aligned, or maybe this is unrelated.

I check the photos on iFixit and the sensor looks straight there, but it's getting the back. Anyway, would be interesting if others could take a look at their sensor to see if this is a common thing.

Took a photo with my flashlight and modified it on Snapseed to make it easier to see. It is possible this is normal, but never know.

I wanted to try out the desktop version of the Brave browser. Its setup according to the privacy guide directions and I have sendoff usage data disabled, but if I open the browser sitting on the home page, windows is reporting 100KB ofdataa going out every 5 or so seconds.

Running the same test with Edge, no network usage is reported.

The only extention on Brave is bitwarden, which is also installed on edge.

Any thoughts? This is the IP it is sending to: 104.18.12.33

Edit: on reboot of process, I see the hostname: ec2-35-163-26-5.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
