Jellyfin is a fantastic media streaming platform. Originally a fork of Emby, the package has become its own offering, enticing users of Emby and Plex, among others, to make the switch to an open-source frontier. I thoroughly enjoy using Jellyfin to enjoy all my purchased content and owned media, though there has always been one area that it has always lacked compared to the competition, and that's the official apps. Whether it's on Android TV or Android and iOS-powered smartphones, these official offerings are lacking in functionality and features. It's the one thing I'd love to see changed with Jellyfin.

While it might feel like Google Pixels are the stock Android option and come completely bloat-free, this isn't always the case. The moment you finish setting up, it feels like your app drawer is filled with Google services that you never asked for.

Sometimes, when I dig through my old collection of USB sticks, I'll find one that I purchased in 2008. It's an old Cruzer Micro that clocks in at 8 GB, with a head that can slide out and a plastic window that glows orange while it's being read. I paid about $20 for that back then, and it felt like a real futuristic piece of tech. These days, I can spend the same amount of money and get a stick that has 16x the memory of my Cruzer Micro. I don't want to imagine what 128 GB would have cost me back in the late 2000s.

It's incredible to believe that Windows Phone launched 15 years ago, replacing Windows Mobile of old. Microsoft discontinued support in 2017, and we've not heard a peep from the company since. It's a shame since Windows Phone offered something new in the mobile space. The UI was stunningly simple to use. The entire platform made it easy to be social without feeling overwhelmed. You could complete various tasks in no time and spend more time not gazing at a 6-inch screen.

When a creative company creates apps that become an integral part of workflows everywhere, things get a little choppy if it wants to edit, tweak, or even terminate one of its services. Doing so will inevitably change or ruin how businesses do what they do best, and run the risk of damaging the creative company's brand as unreliable. Unfortunately, it seems that Adobe has made the decision to stop supporting its Animate program, and the decision may have been influenced by a shift to AI.

There are hundreds of laptops to choose from if you're shopping at Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon. But with so many choices, it can be hard to filter out the noise and find the right one for you. Luckily, most people just want their laptop to be able to surf the internet, watch videos, author some documents, and maybe play some games occasionally.

We expected the holiday sales period would see the Switch surpass the DS, even with Nintendo announcing that primary development would focus on the Switch 2. Nintendo previously said that it would continue to sell the original Sw …Read the full story at The Verge.

NotebookLM is already good at helping you understand complicated information, but I think its real value shows up when you start using it for the more boring parts of day-to-day work. Things like skimming source material and pulling out relevant sections, or even reminding yourself of what you read a couple of days ago. None of that is difficult work, it’s just really repetitive and boring, and it adds friction to the work process before you even get to the stuff that matters.

If you are working across multiple monitors, you are likely familiar with the long haul — that tedious, physical drag of the mouse from your far-left screen all the way to the far-right. It’s a small friction point that adds up to a lot of wasted movement over an eight-hour workday. Here is where CursorWrap comes into play.

The day after the second general strike in Minneapolis, the labor unions of Portland, Oregon, marched in solidarity. It was the warmest day that Portland had seen in a while, with sun peeking out from the clouds here and there. Many people had brought their entire families; not just older children, but toddlers in strollers and wagons, too. Some brought their dogs. The chants were typical: "ICE out of Portland" and "No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here." But the children were so visible that City Councilor Mitch Green felt a slight twinge of awkwardness. "There's some other folks saying, you know, 'Fuck ICE,' but, like, there's chil …Read the full story at The Verge.

Webcams are important if you're someone that's on video calls all day, or trying to break into a new hobby like live-streaming. Of course, you can go all out by buying a digital camera, but that just might be a bit outside your budget, especially if you're just someone that needs something a little better than what your average webcam can deliver.
