I fully agree with your sentiment, but I don’t think blocking VPNs and having different content per region is all about your telemetry data. It’s mainly about content rights. They can’t always get deals to show the content in any region, or it may be much more expensive than buying it for one region.
I hate it as much as anyone, but the streaming companies don’t have full rights to all the content and that’s what needs to change to reach the same experience as music streaming.
An IPTV service is probably going to be the best way to watch live. If you can wait a bit and not watch live, smcgill is the man
That’s a bit of a blanket statement. It depends on the house and where you want the cable to go.
Yea, they do seem to be some of the worst offenders
Insane, but far too common
Still, 2024 and they’re storing plaintext passwords?
Thanks, think that’s the one I remember. Would be great if there was an open alternative
Edit: there are open source repositories but I’m not sure if part of it is closed source? https://github.com/acestream?tab=repositories
Lidarr works ok
I can’t remember the name now (and struggling to find it) but there was some packaging of VLC with I think a customised libtorrent, where someone would effectively broadcast with an infohash (sha hash like in a torrent) and people could stream and share with not much latency. Hashes were shared on sites/telegram/discord etc and it seemed to work ok.
Surprised it didn’t become more popular/standardised

Interactive development environment. A text editor with more features for editing source code, for example code completion, quick navigation to declarations etc
I went back from Windows 11 to Windows 10 as 11 was too buggy on my system (maybe because I bypassed some checks for TPM because my motherboard was too old).
I cannot understand at all this move from control panel to settings thats half baked in 10 and presumably even worse in 11. It’s not an improvement and makes things difficult to find
