    I really like Audiobookshelf for audiobooks.

    But it breaks my brain that it still hasn’t implemented some sort of automatic queueing of new podcast episodes. Every time you finish a podcast episode, you need to manually go into the app and find the next episode to play. Not ideal for when you’re driving…

    This is an EVEN BIGGER opportunity than AMD had with Intel to have a “Ryzen moment”.

    With trash uplifts (5070 may not even beat the 4070Super) and blatantly swapping of the names of their GPUs (the 5080 is XX70-level hardware – at best)… Nvidia has effectively doubled the price of GPUs in a few short years.

    If AMD decided to finally not just-follow-Nvidia, I would RUN to buy a $550-600 RX9070XT with RTX5080 performance.

    “$550-600? That’s unrealistic, Brad, you fuckin’ idiot!”

    Fuck off. $1,000 RTX5080 performance is twice what the $500 two-gens-old RTX3070 had. And also…

    • The $599 RTX4070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $499 RTX2070 Super
    • The $499 RTX3070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $379 GTX1070
    • The $499 RTX2070 Super had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $329 GTX970
    • The $379 GTX1070 had twice the performance of the two-gens-old $399 GTX770





  • Also the Android TV app is AWESOME!

    I dunno…

    There’s a transcoding bug in the Android TV version of the Jellyfin client where transcoding a video with 7.1 audio breaks playback. Even with a Pull Request out there that fixes it (by matching the behavior of other Jellyfin clients), the issue got closed as “not planned”. The continued suggestion continues to be “just force everything to play in stereo”.

    I don’t have unlimited bandwidth, so plenty of my stuff gets transcoded in Plex. I can’t, in good, conscience, switch my friends & family (most of who use Android TV) over to Jellyfin.
