I know right? I'm constantly confused by this when I'm dealing with kubernetes networking

You haven't addressed the case of migraine to a non geographic tld

Oh wow! And that reservation makes so much sense under these circumstances. Obviously, we could never consider the possibility of a three-letter TLD for a country or migrating a two-letter TLD to a non country specific name because reasons.

iPlayer isn't an 'open' service- you have to use a supported client, even if that client is a web browser. Your options are limited to platforms that can support those clients. Personally I've found Roku preferable to Chromecast, firestick, full PC. I may at some point have tried to get iPlayer running with Kodi back in the day, when it was XBMC, but XBMC was pretty clunky anyway, let alone on raspberry pi.

Depends what you want to play it on. In my house we have:

3 laptops 2 tablets 2 mobile phones (1 android, 1 iPhone) TV

Not all these devices support local storage for music and it's a pain to sync files between them. With Jellyfin the complete library is in one location with a consistent interface. It can also be made available remotely if I choose.

You might say that the definition is 'Elastic'

You could consider

  • Cord: had some contact from companies leading to interviews but also some contact me and then ghost on response
  • Otta: more manageable search than LinkedIn
  • Hackajob: been a waste of time for me

Linkedin is still the big gun. Really don't like how they game everything around job hunting, or the endless sea of Indian recruiters from Hyderabad pretending to be in UK/USA who can barely speak English and 'have a requirement...' but clearly have no concept of geography.

Because they don't know or trust them

I am considering replacing my old 50" 1080p TV which I use with (external) Chromecast and Roku. I would like a 4K display 60" or greater but I really, really don't want any smart features. I am aware that I could purchase a commercial display to achieve this and that's my fallback option. Can anyone here make any useful recommendations? I am in the UK so e.g. 'Sceptre' is not available here.

In advance, with respect, I am technically capable (check my post history) but could I ask to please avoid threads along the lines of:

  • 'non-smart TVs aren't a thing' - fallback is a commercial display
  • 'Nobody wants/buys non-smart TVs' - I do
  • 'Any TV not connected to internet is dumb'/ 'Just don't connect it' - This is no longer true since many TVs require a setup before use involving internet access and/or will seek access via open wifi/bluetooth/HDMI.

Thanks!

Edit:

Some commenters seem to be struggling with the 'why do you care if it connects?'. Some examples why:

 

I'd like to ask about home entertainment hardware - I would have thought there would be an existing community or few but I am struggling to find any - can anyone point the way?
