Because it's almost certainly an old, low spec device that they've bought a job lot of on clearance.

As it currently stands, my Plex setup costs me nothing because all I do it stream from my server to my Apple TV. So it works well enough for me.

Can't slow down videos I've downloaded to my Plex server. 👍🏽

As someone who uses and enjoys a MacBook, but who has recently moved away from iOS; one of the biggest problems I have with tech right now is how much ALL of the companies cripple their products so as to not cannibalise another. And I think Apple are the worst for it.

I have a 6th gen iPad mini. Its form factor is perfect for hand held reading, social media, and the like. If I could plug it into a monitor and use Stage Manager to carry out light computing tasks it would be perfect. But Apple decided it simply wasn't powerful enough, so didn't enable it. It absolutely could do that, but that would have been one less selling point for the Airs and Pros. So Apple restricted it.

I'm old enough to remember when you'd buy computing stuff that had no restrictions beyond what it was physically capable of. You could buy a shitty graphics card and you could play a game, but if the card wasn't up to the task it would run like crap. There are games and apps you literally cannot buy for lower end models of Apple devices. If you've already bought it on a device that can run it, it's not available to another that can't.

All so they can maintain their air of quality.

Fuck Apple. They make great hardware, but they're run by cunts.

Yeah, my mum bought a laptop that only had 512mb RAM and that ran like shiiiiiit. Trying to troubleshoot for her left absolutely certain that Vista was a dog.

Personally I don't use YouTube the website at all at this point. I'm 100℅ Freetube and yt-dlp/Plex for watching the channels I like.

I learned recently that yt-dlp works with the iPlayer, though it's capped at 720p for some reason. However, get_iplayer can download 1080p as long as you add --tv-quality=fhd to the command.

Stage Manager.

My 6th gen mini simply didn't have enough power for that, so I'm assuming it'll get fucked in the ass again by this OS.

If you were there he wouldn't do or say a thing.

It was a bitch playing MP3s on a punch card though.

 
 

It was quite relaxing, though I only managed to do half of it, and none of the chairs. So I'm going to ask the paint shop manager at work if he's got time to give them to the sand blasters.

 

it's p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p pancake day
