I’m trying to switch to Jellyfin I really am. With Plex I could just throw a file bot at my files normalize the names and it was fine. I can’t mark things watched or unwatched from the Roku client. I’ve now tried three separate times to get the Doctor who specials to show up with names. Plex is by no means perfect but it’s so much easier to keep Plex goomed

Filebot a piece of software, it looks up your files on TMDB and themoviedb and renamese your files based on those lookups. Plex takes that naming very very well. We really need jellyfin to work with it too.

Amazon Mulls $5 to $10 monthly price tag for unprofitable Alexa service, AI revamp (www.reuters.com)

Amazon (AMZN.O) is planning a major revamp of its decade-old money-losing Alexa service to include a conversational generative AI with two tiers of service and has considered a monthly fee of around $5 to access the superior version, according to people with direct knowledge of the company’s plans.

I assume their motherboard is a write-off. The form factor in speaker are probably all we have to start with. For a few bucks you could turn it into a decent Bluetooth speaker. Want to get a little more intense if you want to do anything interesting like voice control.

I’d really like to find a way to drive the display and touch screen on the shows

Unfortunately way too many companies and people.

It’s pretty easy to get in there and throw a couple of bots around. People have created entire help desk ticketing systems inside of it. They integrate payment systems. You don’t see any of this until you have a certain specific set of needs and then it’s everywhere.

There’s a lot of plug-in support for corporate apps and people that create themes for things for corporate.

Nah, it’s more like Dropbox. It’s a multi-way sync between all devices. Dropbox, Google drive and Microsoft one box all have the same kind of problems. Stuff that’s supposed to be deleted ends up not getting deleted, stuff that’s supposed to be overwritten ends up getting multiple copies with conflicts Even though nothing else has any changes staged. It’s totally possible to do it without all that, but there are cost savings are wrapped up in trying to add intelligence in there to make it communicate with the server less.

I don’t really give a rat’s ass about the guy cheating, but if a company is going to drag me into their distributed ecosystem I fully expect deleted things to delete everywhere and stay deleted. This isn’t the first time that they’ve been in the news recently for deleted things reappearing.

KDE connecting infuriates the hell out of me. It’s so close to being good. The features aren’t at parity between the different platforms. It is absolutely awful at finding and pairing your phone. I have three different networks I connect to on a regular basis. I don’t want to run static IPs on every network nor do all the clients support static IP. If you do use static IPs you better only need that one because it can’t choose from a list. Wanted to scan a different subnet than you’re on for your mobile device tough luck. I want to use it, I have it installed. I’ve said it IGMP hints. It’s just not written well.

All that said, if you have an ISP bog standard router and one network that plays nice with it, it definitely works as a keyboard and mouse remote…

Twitter’s original plan was to run in cash infusion mode as long as possible. They never even substantially tried to monetize. They had links to all the other platforms, that all the best celebrities in journalists. Besides having just some tech debt issues they could have easily spun an AI product and sold the exact interests of their entire user base to the highest bidder.

Everybody sliding into AI right now isn’t an accident. They train a model on the corpus of everyone’s interactions. It creates a model deeply seated with everyone’s likes and dislikes. They can use the model to infer stuff that’s not even exactly stated. They can lump people together that you wouldn’t be able to do in a conventional manner.

That user base, in the right hands, was worth the money. Just not necessarily for shoving ads in their faces on the site.

I’ll help you push you car. I’ll hold the door for anyone, I’ll let you in, in traffic. I’ll over-tip the wait staff, even the ones having a bad day. I give kids in my neighborhood freezypops when it’s hot AF. I’ll go out of my way to make sure your food allergy is covered and you’ll have safe snacks at my gathering.

I won’t give the guy begging on the corner money. I won’t help you forever if you never reciprocate. You skip a paycheck, I won’t wait for you to get it sorted.

I won’t remember that you hate mushrooms. I won’t remember your kids name or wife’s face. I’ll forget you birthday if it’s not in my calendar. I’ll tell you I need to focus on something for an hour and go take a nap.

System is rigged against them. Less generational opportunities ends up less college. Lack of black bodies in tech means less work experience. If you don’t have work experience or degrees, it makes it hard to get hired.

Doesn’t happen that lack of generational wealth puts them is poorer sections of town away from the best business opportunities.

The biggest problem I have with physical media nowadays is that the players are slowly getting enshitified

You can’t buy a tape deck anymore you can hardly find a reasonable quality record player that’s not audiophile level.

It’s not strictly social media. It’s boredom. We’re basically using these things to groom ourselves to have attention problems.

And in the end it’s not that they can’t, but they actually have absolutely no reason to want to. There’s no immediate or probably even no intermediate consequence to sitting down on TikTok for 2 hours. You get your serotonin boost and nothing bad happened.

Of course you could have spent the time constructively, learn a new skill, cleaned the bathroom, but those are the exact opposite of getting that serotonin boost.

When firing people is difficult, it’s not infrequent to promote them to hire someone useful to backfill.

Those people keep rising the ladder through seniority and attrition.

They never do anything bad enough to get fired and just make everyone below them miserable cuz they don’t understand the business and like to prove that they’re in charge because of fear of inadequacy.

There’s no clear path from getting the computer out of the box just setting it up without internet.
