I wonder how many manufacturers can currently manage that.

However, the upside is that there are no bots, dark patterns, or manipulated feeds.

There’s a huge amount of incoming spam, much of it, I suspect posted by bots. I’ve also seen account posting ‘news’ from sites that are clearly AI generated

To be honest, it feels much more likely to see posts on the Fediverse with many upvotes, few or no comments

You need a certain kind of landscape for that. I think the UK only has a couple of pumped storage power stations due to lack of suitable sites

No. That’s like saying the UK has too much wind power because our prices occasionally go negative. What Germany might not have enough of is battery and other storage

Decent brand external drive for Time Machine backups? (kbin.social)
 

My TM drive has just failed and I'm looking for an alternative. There have been so many mergers and rebranding among drive manufacturers over the last few years and noise about how previously good brands have been taken over and now sell junk, I'm trying ti get a steer on which ones are still decent.

Looking for 4TB - to be honest, happy woth spinning rust as it is only for backup the speed of an SSD not really needed.

Air Video HD video streaming software seems to have been abandoned. Does anyone know a good alternative? (kbin.social)

For many years, I've used the excellent https://airvideo.app - it has a free little server component that runs on a Mac and a paid for iOS app that lets you watch on the device or stream to Chromecast or Apple TV.

I wanted to give my kids access to my ripped movie collection, but the app seems to have gone missing from the (UK) Appstore - and the developers aren't answering e-mail.

So. Here's what I'd like.

Something that will show me the contents of my folder of video files on my Mac and let me stream to my TV.

I've had a look at

  • Plex Hugely overly complex - tries to be an entire media manager for everything in the world

  • VLC Streamer By HobbyistSoftware. Kinda OK, but seems to take up about 300% of my M1 iMac CPU and is a bit clunky.

Any other recommendations?

Apple claims it gives a game highest priority CPU and GPU access, and reduces Bluetooth input and audio latencies too. Does it, though?
