Yeah, almost every placement has it's pros and cons, my only pet peeves is under screen ones are placed often too low, forcing you to change the way you're holding the phone

Sounds nice, have to try this... eventually

nope, not hidden, it's almost official "spiritual successor"

Soon BuzzFeed will be stealing content from Lemmy

of course, how else would non Japanese speaking people read it? Also the country names are on the easier side of pronunciation, so not much is lost when using romanji, it's not like in other SEA languages where tones are lost in Latin spelling

this and Burajiru or Betonamu:D

yeah, but you don't work if you watch a movie on a TV, op didn't mention multi user environment where laptop would do both at the same time

yeah, unfortunately with NAS it probably won't be as easy as connecting via usbc/thunderbolt and using it as a DAS, you'd need a proper network connection, you know, ethernet dongle, network setup, sharing etc.

I'd use a NAS connected to a router via a cable, everything else could be used wirelessly, AFAIK TVs wired network cards are shitty and wireless in many cases will be faster anyway (on of my TVs has 100Mb NIC...), if you want it cheap then buy some n100 based barebone NAS/router and install the NAS/RAID software solution by yourself, like TrueNAS (Scale recommended), unraid, proxmox, OpenMediaVault or... xpenology, for example i bought AOOSTAR R1, bought 2 4TB disks and installed xpenology, jellyfin hardware transcoding works with some tinkering (mainly reading documentation, not even touching any command line), mine looks nice near the TV and router

why not? technically MBP is more than capable of transcoding on the fly without breaking sweat, even a N100 based nas would do it in HW, the user experience of using a laptop for that is another thing

you sick bastard masturbating in public?! /s

nope:D
