The US has good train infrastructure for cargo

I think the point with all of these is that they are “cloud”-based. Except instead of the cloud being someone else’s computer, it’s your own. Let’s take Immich, for example. Sure I could keep all my photos on my phone. But what if I lose or break my phone? What if I have an actual camera with an SD card and I want to offload those photos? Self-hosting lets me keep a backup. I can set up a server with redundant drives that itself backs up to a server in another location with its own separate drives. Thus, I have my own safe cloud storage.

I don’t think that’s possible if they don’t have a working boot drive.

Oh I see now. You should be able to import them. Worst case is you can’t then you’re back where you are now. There shouldn’t be any data loss.

Yeah. As far as I understand it, exporting is more of a config thing. You can shut down your system asd boot it while missing drives (done this by accident) and boot while missing, and it’ll say there’s an issue with it. Shut down, pop the drives back in and you’re good to go on boot.

You can just drop in a new boot drive and install from a usb. I do recommend setting up a boot pool mirror though. This way if one goes down, you have a spare that can be used to help recover more quickly.

Thanks for trying. I’m unfortunately out of ideas.

Try 144 or 165 if you have it. It’s some sort of matching game rather than hardware compatibility.

What is your resolution and refresh rate set to? MacOS can be quite picky.

I use four monitors for my WFH setup with a total of 11.8m pixels. Three 6k monitors is 37.3m pixels, more than three times what I’ve got. I’d be seriously considering this if I could run all four, but for now the hackintosh lives on.

In September of 2023, Amazon announced the Echo Show 8 Photos Edition. It looked just like the regular Echo Show 8 smart display/speaker but cost $10 more. Why? Because of its ability to show photos on the home screen for as long as you want—if you signed up for a $2 monthly subscription to Amazon’s PhotosPlus. Now, about a year after releasing the Echo Show 8 Photos Edition, Amazon is announcing that it’s discontinuing PhotosPlus. That means Echo Show 8 Photos Edition users will be forced to see ads instead of their beloved pics.

They showed and talked about it in the keynote too. It’s not like this is some last minute surprise.

I can’t do timestamped links on mobile, but it’s at 6:27: https://youtu.be/TX9qSaGXFyg

I’m still confused. All the HDR processing should be done on the client side if it is an HDR capable display playing a compatible format. The Shield can play most formats so that shouldn’t be the issue. How do you know HDR isn’t displaying properly?

Tone mapping is for converting HDR content to SDR for non-HDR displays. Why do you need it for an HDR TV?

"To start, we’re offering each Premium individual, as well as plan managers for Family and Duo accounts, 15 hours of listening per month—giving them the ability to enjoy as many titles as they want within that monthly allocation.

[…]

For those super audiophiles who use up their 15 hours before their monthly billing cycles refresh, you can purchase a 10-hour top-up to finish that series. Not sure how many hours you have left? Check it at any time in your in-app settings. "

No cost listed on how much the top-ups are.

You could accomplish this with Tasker if you wanted to dip your toes into some programming.

I guess compared to your situation, they’re fantastic. I have a static IP and copper connection, but they don’t offer any symmetric plans. I’m stuck with 200down/15up and the best up they offer is 500down/25up.

I’ve got a 1070 that I use for transcodes and some tonemapping where necessary and I don’t have GPU related issues (My ISP causes their own problems). I can usually run a few small streams at once, and I have a PC that I use to handle files too large to reliably stream to my Chromecast with Google TV over WiFi.
