You’ve paid for the right to watch the movie. The movie industry will argue that you’ve just paid for the right to access that physical copy and I’m sure from a legal point of view they’re right as they’ve lobbied to increase control out of greed and the hope of being able to get more money out of you for the same effort.
Morally you paid to access the content, you paid to compensate the creators for their work. Now you’re entitled to view what you’ve paid for.
I don’t see this ever being a hard hitter in the gaming space.
The thing that intrigues me about the vision pro is the movie experience. If it can end up being an imax level experience at home then there’s value there. Just not at the current price…
Yeh I’m similar. I’ve found that yeh it looks a bit better but at 10x the storage it starts being really cost prohibitive for a small benefit.
On a side note, I’ve got the server up and running and it crushes 1080p. No performance issues at all.
Absolutely insane from a 7.5w TDP cpu. Seven POINT five watt.
Ooooh.
I’ve just spent the day installing Synology DSM on a passively cooled micro pc with a Pentium N3510 and 4gb of ram.
I haven’t had a chance to test performance yet. Certainly not 4K capable but that’s okay. If it can handle 1080p I’ll mark it a win.
Sonarr and Radarr in dockers on DSM.
12tb USB attached HDD.
I’m not sure if this will be a permanent setup. Will depend what the 1080p performance is like.
But I had the box sitting in the cupboard and I’m really keen to cut ties with streaming services
Hahaha I accidentally smeared it with the iOS highlighter.
Shhhh. No tears, only dreams now.
I’d love to hear your view. I haven’t really considered it.
My understanding is that for free users watching your content you get a percentage of the ad revenue. But views from premium subscribers earns you a flat rate not dependant on advertisements, and that flat rate is higher than what you’d get from an ad supported view.
The general consensus is YouTube is still greedy with the split , but at least they are offering more from a premium view.
I have ublock on my desktop but for me with a wife and kids who who have their own devices, the TVs in the house etc, the convenience of never getting ads on any device is really good.
And for me personally I don’t mind paying if I get value in return, and I do.
Maybe an unpopular opinion here… but checking my stats, since buying YouTube premium my account has watched over 50 days worth of ad free video content.
Now whilst I wish more of money went to the creators themselves, I can’t pretend I don’t get value out of the subscription. Especially compared to something like Netflix.
I have 6 subscriptions and YouTube is the last one I’d consider cancelling.
This. I’m ex-military. Our ration packs came with these highly processed cans of cheese. I’d go 4-5 days without doing a shit.
Was never a good time after though
