Any tips on getting pirated media onto the TV? in c/piracy@lemm.ee

If your TV has a USB port you can just plug in a USBstick or external drive.

Or connect a laptop or something via HDMI cable to the tv

Or you can go the full server route with jellyfin and stream to a pi connected to the tv

I use a 2011 second hand kindle. I convert the books with calibre to awz3 format and copy them over USB to the kindle. No amazon account needed.

I watch videos and read articles and use LLMs to give me the key points to grasp the basics. Then build upon that knowledge with more focused learning.

Am I the only one preferring low quality media over high quality one? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I usually opt for 720p for movies and SD for shows. They're good enough for me and I can store way more. The other thing is the devices and screens are dated now so at some point in the future I'll probably want to get it all again at better quality but for now it does the job.

Good fuck this company. I'm sure all the military contracts will keep their pockets lined unfortunately.

One guy during the probation period called IT saying his laptop was broke, they told him to bring it into the office. It turned out he was on another continent and didn't bother to tell anyone. As expected he lost his job.
