In addition to everything said, I'm pretty sure it was Oculus and John Carmack who did most of the work on getting VR to where it is.

I already suck figuratively. That good enough?

How much longer do I wait?

When there is no T800

There is, now.

Anybody uses their ring finger for fingering? Asking for OP.

In comparison to Valve, even entire CD Projekt Red is tiny.

I think people forget to mention the benefit of having standardized hardware. I build my own PCs, but I'm still considering the cube, because I know there will be optimizations targeted directly at it.

You are free to support or not support whoever you see fit. If supporting Linux is hard requirement for you, so be it. But in my personal opinion, they do deserve support, in the very least because they sell most of their games DRM-free, giving consumer the ability to keep their games forever.

They do the good that they do. Is there a minimal amount of good one must do to be promoted from "fair-weather friend"? GOG is not a behemoth like Valve, they have to pick their fights more carefully. Also, they are preserving the games for the vast majority of people, on the platform those games were designed for. And since Proton/Wine progress is going well, the games are by extension preserved on other OSes.

GOG does game preservation, which is nice.

You didn't use the camera that often back then. None of the flippy bits on my Nokia 6680, N70 or N97 ever failed. The N95 slide got a little crunchy after 10 years, but I believe I mostly fixed it by cleaning the rails.

But they are not a passenger. They wouldn't lie to an app.

I think the official client might be a webapp, but other clients on iOS are mostly native apps. Honestly, maybe it's better on other platforms, but since my gf and I do most of our watching on iPads we don't see the full picture.

Thank you for your suggestion. That seems like a very nice JF client, but unfortunately it's Android-only, and we do most of our watching on iPads.

I will definitely try it on my Android TV though.

I'm not talking about naming schemes. The subtitles are detected, but they either crash the client or render improperly or just don't show up despite being selected. I guess I'm really waiting for a decent multi-platform client that just works.

Both will happen.

🤞. Hopefully it's just JF getting better, of course, but that last app redesign on Plex was really rough. I had to downgrade the app to make it work well again.

Of course I can put extra work into formatting my subtitles to make them work everywhere. Sometimes they are embedded, sometimes they are an .srt file next to the video file. And I don't want to spend time normalizing all of them. It already just works all the time on Plex, so I'll simply wait until JF fixes the support.

Yes, of course. Here you go:

Currently my biggest complain with Jellyfin and the reason I can't switch to it completely is the bad subtitle support. There's a bunch of clients and some subtitles work on one, but not the other and vise versa. It's annoying to jump clients depending on what you watch. Sometimes subtitles just don't want to load by default and you have turn them on for each episode. And even though I have Bazaar, sometimes I still need to download subtitles, and Plex has that built-in.

Either way, I already have lifetime subscription, there's no point in switching. At this point I'll only switch if JF becomes better or Plex becomes worse.
