Kodi is good for many streaming services too, just not Netflix. It has been good with HBO Max.

You did not say what kind of streaming services.

For anything self-hosted or torrents/debrid, just get a Raspberry Pi with LibreELEC.

If you use Netflix and the likes, you will likely want something officially supported. My partner likes Netflix for some reason and after years of using the unofficial addon by CastaginaIT, I gave up and got her a Firestick this winter (having set up a separate VLAN for it and ripped out the microphone, of course).

The unofficial Kodi addon is an amazing piece of reverse engineering work, but it's not really great that you have to log in using your computer every month or two, and occasionally download a 2GB binary, before you can watch a movie on Netflix half-asleep.

Just to make things extremely clear, the above comment has been sarcastic. He's an awful person.

Not a single comment yet stating how Gates is a great human being because of his foundation, and how all you haters should fuck the fuck off? sigh, let me the first one.

Also it's often doing a great job if you paste a stack trace into it and maybe some surrounding code. I used it to fix someone else's Java code as well as to upgrade some 3rd party Wordpress junk to latest PHP. I barely know Java and stopped following PHP news around version 5.6.

It generated a custom needs GUI OCR tool in Qt5. I don't know a single bit of Qt5 and went from zero to working tool in half an hour.

The tool takes a screenshot, lets me select an area on the screen, OCRs it and displays the text in a window.

If ChatGPT isn't made for programming then I'm looking forward for a product that is.

See? You're a part of the problem.

I actually wrote to the author, not being from the US too, and they said they are working on a version where you can specify your country/location. Nothing about adding your news sources, though

You're probably right, there are reasons stopping them, it's not necessarily a conspiracy of phone makers.

Just got the notification for a post you made 10 minutes after mine...

I would love to have a doc who googles instead of just trying to sound smart based on their limited knowledge

I'm pretty sure that DACs and 3.5mm jacks are still being manufactured
