HD audio pass through ended up being reason I went with the shield pro. But it’s not “cheap” at ~$200 per unit. I still think that’s cheaper than a dedicated mini PC or something though (was really the only other option I saw for TrueHD).
Nvidia shields with an alternate home screen have been a good solution for me? TV isn’t connected to the network directly, just to the shield.
I’ve got RetroArch, Plex, Spotify on each of them - that sort of stuff.
People are generally ignorant and stupid.
Neat, huh?
Fuck everything about Microsoft products. The different licenses are a nightmare, the programs are shit, and “FUCK YOU FOR TRYING TO INSTALL A PROGRAM OR USE LOCAL STORAGE” seems to be the default.
Also I don’t trust them not to be spying on users. But sure, every government job I’ve had we used the products.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved them as a kid, and it was a nice way to transition to “adult” books but not really my speed anymore and I imagine if I went back I’d think they were “bad.”
I specifically remember liking Rainbow Six around the same time and I liked his books until he started tag teaming with other authors which was probably around 2000?
Based on that I imagine his books from 1986-2000 are “similar” enough.
I recall liking it, but I read it in like the 5th grade so my standards were low (before that I’d been reading my mom’s terrible ‘caterer turned detective’ novels).
I enjoyed Clancy for a long time after that but at this point I aim more towards militaristic speculative fiction.
Even if they manage this, I’ll bet “you” die each time something 'effectively … destroy[s]" you down to a quantum level.
Some of yall just need to stop with your “cable maintenence” and “airflow” or you’re gonna give the rest of us a complex. 😁
A number of these setups are tight. I’ll post my janky ass “comm closet” when I get home later.
