If temps are going to be below 30F regularly, you'll need an auxiliary source. My parents got one last year, if they don't switch off it'll run constantly to keep temps at ~55F and drive their electric bill through the roof. It works well for them during the day in the winter most of the time and during the fall and spring.
I got a shield a while back because I was having issues with the built in chromecast on my TV. It worked fine for about a year, but I've been having issues with lag and apps crashing for the past 2-3 years. Meanwhile my girlfriend's cheap roku puck still works fine, and she bought it around the same time I got the shield and it was way cheaper. I wouldn't recommend the shield based on that. The only annoyance is jellyfin on the roku isn't as feature complete, multiple language audio tracks aren't supported, but if that's not an issue for you I'd recommend getting a roku over a shield.
Also since this works on cards that are already old, it lets you eek out a few more years out of a card you already own rather than being a shitty excuse to overcharge for a weak card.
I got a set off ebay, Jesus christ they're loud. I ended up returning them cause I could hear the grinding through my whole house
If you're interested in using flakes, this repo was helpful when learning how to get my first system configurations set up in an organized way https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs
Tried kagi due to all the yapping here on lemmy, 99% of the results are exactly the same as ddg, no matter what their "x% unique kagi results" says, which just strikes me as dishonest. If they're going to lie to me about things I can check, why would I trust them when they say they don't log or track?
There's definitely some kind of astroturf marketing campaign going on here, this guy's only interaction with the fediverse is posting a link to some softball piece review of an incredibly underwhelming service.
I think it's because it's the only one that comes close to working well
I've been using it for a couple months now on a NixOS setup, I had issues before I split my media collection so shows and movies are in different collections. Now that I've done that, I haven't had any noteworthy bugs. There are some missing features on certain platforms, namely the current roku app doesn't support multi audio movies and shows and will only use the primary audio track. Hopefully that's resolved with this update.
I don't know if I'd really call this an issue, workers at companies generally start unions because they're being pushed into untenable hours and subsistence living without an escape. When you can jump from a sinking ship and add 15-20% to your salary you're just in a very different situation. There are risks to getting serious about organizing a union, especially in tech where the vast majority shops aren't union. You could end up tied to whatever company you're at currently for the rest of your career, since I'd imagine many non union shops would blacklist you from hiring if they found out you attempted to organize at a previous job. It's also difficult to get enough people on board for unionization when almost everyone in your department likely has the option to leave for a similar pay bump. The benefits of unionization are much less tangible for tech workers, who generally lead pretty comfortable lives, than professions that are tipically unionized like tradespeople or factory workers.
I think AAA studios are the main culprits here, I haven't been playing more than one game a year that requires a recent setup for many years now, and most of my friends are in the same boat. Most people in that situation aren't gonna buy a new GPU even if a mid range card was ~$400. Graphics haven't been improving much even in AAA titles either since the MO of live service titles is to get as many people playing as possible.
