The Pi mk4 can do up to 4k (HDR) with the most recent Kodi updates. Really nice. Mine unfortunately requires a smol fan because otherwise it would randomly reboot, luckily Noctua makes 40mm silent fans. Connected on the GPIO pins for 5V, it's more than enough.

This guy is basically Tony Stark with a box of scraps. I'm speechless.

This reminded me on how nice Netflix was when it started and how obnoxious it has become. Just like Amazon and Facebook. Small starts, nice things. Then it starts being mildly annoying, then it just intrudes everywhere in your life (like your other browsing tabs and what not).

Netflix was nice because there were no ads. At the same time can I binge on a series without being irked every x minutes if I'm still there or not? Maybe I am, maybe I am not, maybe I am chilling with my SO, it's none of their damn business and at the same time it doesn't do anything helpful except nag you.

The biggest red flag at a work place is being welcomed "to the family". The second biggest red flag at a work place is being told at induction that "we work as a team over here".

It's patronizing and implying that you have no idea what you're on about and they're here to set the record straight. And "we're family" and "we work as a team" usually means you're the one upholding all the obligations and responsibilities that come with that whilst having none of the benefits nor any authority.

This reminds me of a practice a recruiter used to boast when I applied for a job - throwing half the applications in the shredder without even reading them because they didn’t want to work with “unlucky people”. Albeit I was mildly curious about what mental gymnastics the person did to end up with such a frivolous way of not doing his job, I never left a building quicker ever since.
