It's wild just how much they're trying to shove AI down our throats.

So long as the GabeCube is at a decent price it is going to be my TV's media center. My old plan of building a new main rig and repurposing my old rig with an arc B580 upgrade went out the window for my budget when ram prices went through the roof.

    Just consider that Netfliix and Co. don't offer higher resolutions than 720p (?) on browsers that are not Edge (or does Chrome support it by now?). I really forgot the details because it's such a mess using them on Linux. But maybe you use other sources for movies anyways. Also if you need to use your browser for media streaming you might lose some benefits from CEC because you still control things with mouse and keyboard.

    I have no qualms against paying for Netflix and getting their videos from other sources. If Netflix wants my viewing data, they can change their stance. Until then, Jellyfin with Jellyserr to handle requests will suffice. The Netflix app may just become a browse app if they don't accept the future.

    • Specifically, on browsers that are not Edge on Windows. And yeah, I genuinely don't know the reasoning is behind specifically requiring Edge on Windows, when I'm sure Chrome on Windows supports the same DRM. Does Edge have some additional Windows-specific DRM on top of Widevine that's connected to TPM2 and VBS that the streaming services use for authentication or something?
