Just went to try out summit, and I can't actually login. Login is successful, local_user_view is null.

A few reasons:

  • Any conversion (including internally at the display) can result in colorspace mismatches.
  • If the sink has an unsupported mode, the source will send a default - which is usually a mismatch.

I wouldn't call it often wrong, personally. I'd say some devices are really bad with EDIDs, and are consistently problematic. It's more like -recent hardware is generally pretty good, but relying entirely on EDID won't always work, so use with care.

Some great examples of problematic devices/situations (in general):

  • Apple. Pretty much anything they make.
  • DP to HDMI - while DP supports HDMI natively, that can be one of the situations where EDID issues crop up. But much less often than....
  • DVI to HDMI or vice versa - this is probably the most problematic of general use. Happens somewhat often where a different or default colorspace gets used.

If you've got a single PC going to a display (or several), just set it once manually and you're good to go. If you're plugging and unplugging often with multiple devices (like with a dock), an EDID minder can be handy, but come with a price that generally makes setting it manually preferred anyway.

Hope this helps answer for you

I'm glad my wife doesn't mind the 5 bay. Or the 8 bay I added to become the new main NAS and the other a backup.

..... Or the 4RU case stacked with drives.

To be fair these companies should generally be boycotted anyway, they all have been hindering progress for their profits.

Kind of hard to do though. People need heat in their homes, gas for cars, etc.

It is a thing, it's not a chore though. Usually it's a talk about a cool project someone is involved with, sometimes guests from a major project give a talk.

And then snacks and chat after

Because that would be a 40 minute drive. And there is a BJs... About 1/4 mi away from the Costco.

No, there aren't bulk stores near me.

It's a scene from Predator, FYI.

Only reason I still have prime is simple - diapers. I save enough on them alone to justify it. But once that's done (another year-ish), I don't think it will be worth it anymore.

And yet, I still don't use prime video. It's just not a good experience, and obviously getting worse. And as I have kids, the management of what I'm ok with them seeing is way easier on JF than prime video.

I say "no", but for your case and for your mom, I'd agree with what others have said, a standalone library.

BUT! Only the Christian movies. Put them in a library called "The Christerion Collection".

Yeah, if you had the storage I'd say use an Ethernet dongle on the phone, wire up Ethernet on the laptop (as long as it's not a USB 2 dongle that you'd need :) ), transfer over network that way and give yourself some easier transport than wifi....

But in your case, yeah wifi is the right call.

My workflow for reference, I've got a dock that supports 3.2gen2, so I connect my phone up there. I've got 1 gig on the dock, and I copy over to my NAS (4x1gbit in LAG), and with the dock having USB for mice/keyboard use it's easy peasy. Once backed up, new phone to the dock, and go the other way.

Most files are already backed up though, with the NAS and my self hosted services, so it's mostly a single instances backup and not much to copy back.

That's fair, I'd agree the article does a terrible job of differentiating, and a company calling itself a library in it's name doesn't make it a library, just a rental service playing pretend for profit.

Got it, checking their list of compatible apps...

Worst case you could connect to Strava as a go-between should polar be far behind on health connect (again, doubt they would be).

But checking the coospo compatibility, it seems there are a ton of them that all support health connect with coospo, so you wouldn't be shut out even if health connect wasn't ready for Polar, you'll have a ton of options. Including using polar to sync to something that syncs via health connect.

Which is kind of what I do btw, aside from the app for the completely irregular use case I mentioned, I sync polar to Strava, Strava to Fit via health connect. I do that because fairly often I am using polar while cycling, so that's how I want my data to go. But I then found strength training shares nicely too, and running polar beat and my workout app, I can track all my workout routine items (jefit), which syncs via health connect, and then polar goes to Strava goes to health connect, and it all shows as a single session with great HR data.

So yeah, you'll be fine.
