By reilo Go To PostI have the C9 and outside of the annoying resolution/HDR switch lag, it works best with AppleTV – which also has Plex.sadly, the apple tv only outputs Dolby and PCM audio. it's the only real sticking point keeping it from being the a no-questions-asked recommendation. :(
What other audio formats even matter? 99.9% of people won't even have the setup to even care, and those that care about a good home audio setup will prioritize Dolby anyway.

e: oh fuck, i forgot one of the super important ones: it doesn't support Dolby True HD, which is what a lot of blu rays ship with
e2: it also doesn't support passthrough audio so you can't pass the audio to a receiver to decode. the kinda stuff it doesn't support is mostly the domain of people who rip their own movies and want to stream things through the apple tv at disc-level quality
By Kibner Go To Postall the DTS formats and several different music formats like FLAC and suchYeah, that’s my issue entirely. I’m pretty ready to move on from my shield because of all the ad focussed UI changes Google made, but p4p it’s still the best 4K Plex device out there

Meta is temporarily shutting Threads down in Turkey on April 29th.Because of a temporary injunction (PDF) from the Turkish Competition Authority (TCA), which ruled that linking Threads and Instagram data without user opt-in abuses Meta’s social media dominance.LOL
It's well and alive now and completely unusable and shit because a bunch of Taylor Swift fans jumped on

Nice, gonna read this when I get home.
I found it fascinating how so much of our daily lives are determined by the conditions in the extremes of space and the ocean floor.

Thank God for reviews.
I've noticed that due to the enshittification of Google search, I can basically no longer find product reviews for a lot of things these days.

Google's search algorithm prefers xyz and big media companies that own multiple properties are churning out the same nonsense review content to make it to Google's top of search results when you are looking for, say, a vacuum cleaner, a shit top-10 list from Rolling Stones will pop-up.
