Yeah the UEFI requirement is likely specifically required for secureboot/TPM as well. TPM 2.0 didnt work well with legacy boot options. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Microsoft wouldn't force those things as requirements if they didn't think they were going to be held liable in court to provide security for their users. Sure it sucks to have it "forced" but there are worse things to complain about. Like the Microsoft account requirement. Yet once again I'm sure that's because if you encrypt a drive and forget your password, being able to prove your identity and reset the password is preferred to them than saying the data is gone. Only so many "my wedding photos" and such are unrecoverable you want to deal with. Having a solution for a forgotten password is better than not. And not encrypting the drives isn't a better answer, as once again, your back to being sued. The advertisements and bloatware are what bother me much more.

I set up Streamio on pop_os with a paid plug in $15 for 180 day subscription. It has access to just about any movie/movie I could ever want to watch. Which since it is streaming them it takes up no room on the drive. Plugged it into my tvs HDMI port and use a mouse keyboard on the coffee table. The is alright, it's best to know a name to searcg, but it's pretty spiffy without, you can scroll forever it seems. (Most of the info is for other shit, in Pop it took maybe 15 mins setup, mostly creating accounts for the site. I installed it on Mint Cinnamon, and my fiancees W11 laptop so she can watch stuff in the room

Guide I followed in case someone is interested in such:

I saved it from a old.reddit post in case I ever wanted to replicate it again.

Ultimate guide to Stremio + Torrentio + RD Guide Opening Notes (important stuff, please read) This configuration of the Stremio app will allow you to stream movies/TV from most devices, with the exception being IOS devices such as the iPhone and iPad. If you want to stream from those devices, this guide is not for you.

You can use this Stremio configuration to stream movies/TV on most other platforms, including Windows, Mac, Android, FireOS (includes Fire Stick and Fire TV), Linux, AndroidTV, and even the Steam Deck.

However, the Stremio setup guide will require that you use a Windows, Mac, Linux, or Android device. Please don't attempt the setup steps on another device.

Additional information for FireOS (includes Fire Stick and Fire TV) and Linux devices is located below the Stremio setup guide, but you need to go through the Stremio setup guide beforehand with a required device (Refer to previous bullet point).

Stremio Setup Guide Part 1: Stremio

For Windows/Mac users - Go to https://www.stremio.com/ and download the relevant client for your platform

For Android users - Install Stremio through the Google Play Store: Stremio - Apps on Google Play

Open Stremio and sign up with email or Facebook

Part 2: Real Debrid

Go to https://real-debrid.com/

Sign up

Go to Premium Offers

Choose a package and subscribe. I found that using Amazon Pay as the payment method is the most convenient (if you have an Amazon account)

Part 3: Torrentio

Go to Torrentio Lite - Stremio Addon

Towards the bottom of the page, select the "Debrid Provider" option and select "Real Debrid" from the drop-down menu. This will cause a new text box to appear underneath.

Copy the API key from this link https://real-debrid.com/apitoken and paste it into the "RealDebrid API Key**"** box

In the Debrid Options menu: Check the box "Don't show download to debrid links" and leave the other boxes unchecked.

Click "Install" at the bottom. It should open the Stremio app and prompt you with an "Install Addon" window. Click the green install button at the bottom.

Optional but highly Recommended - In Stremio, click the puzzle piece in the top right to view your addons. Click "My Addons" and uninstall the "WatchHub" addon. It's an eyesore and it clutters your streams list.

Now that you have completed the setup, you may install Stremio on any device of your choice (excluding IOS) and log in to your account to start streaming Movies/TV. Refer to the section below for Stremio installation on FireOS devices (Fire Stick, FireTV).

FireOS devices (Fire Stick, FireTV) After you have gone through the setup on another device, watch this video on how to install Stremio on your FireOS device https://youtu.be/U1o-scADuIg and then log into your account in the Stremio app. At this point you're good to stream. It will download everything that you just set up and sync your shows across all devices. However, some FireOS devices may not be capable of 4k streaming.

Edit 10/16/2023 - if you are on firestick, make sure to download the Android TV apk from the Stremio downloads section. The youtube video linked above was created before Stremio had an Android TV version. The UI is much improved over the base android UI for use on a smart tv.

Linux Use the flatpak and everything should work. At the time of making this guide, I had issues in the setup process on Linux but I'm pretty sure that was my fault for having weird defaults on my Arch install. You should be able to complete the setup process on Linux without issues and streaming is guaranteed to work. In the case that you run into issues, Just complete the setup steps on a recommended device first, then install and log into the Stremio app on your Linux device.

Additional information YOU DO NOT NEED A VPN.

Account sharing: You should only share your Stremio account with people who are connected to the same WiFi network as you. If you do not follow this rule, your Real Debrid account may be suspended.

Bugs/Glitches:

Sometimes, an episode of a show or a movie will display "No streams found" even though it should be available. This has only happened to me a handful of times, but the problem will resolve itself eventually.

If the picture is black but the audio is still playing, you should go back and select a stream with a different resolution.

Issue: No streams are appearing at all, or none of them work. Here are the possible explanations:

Your Real Debrid Subscription has expired. Go to Real-Debrid and check your account status.

Real Debrid servers are down/undergoing maintenance. Wait an hour or so, and then try again.

You made a mistake while following the guide. My DMs are open if you can't figure it out. I'll probably try to help.

Credit to u/OnlyTheCruxes for most of this stuff because I kinda just copied their guide and added more detail based on my own personal experience with the setup process (Original guide: Installing Stremino + Torrentio + Real Debird )

So what's the angle here? Are we supposed to be mad at the LAPD for requesting footage from the surrounding area of a guy getting run down by a car? It seems like an extremely warranted reason to gather the footage. If people are worried about privacy then they need to fight for laws pertaining to backdoors and strict guidelines on when/why cameras can be supenoed. I believe it is highly likely a large majority would have voted for this to be a situation where it was turned over legally.

"If a person is being charged with a felony for hurting another person and a judge grants it then it should be allowed. If the charges don't lead to a conviction then it should be reviewed by a 3rd party organization of whether it should have been warranted originally. Infractions result in penalties/ dismissals of requesting parties"

Something like that much more flushed out would be reasonable.

Waste of money. If the bill of rights doesn't hold water then we might as well do the humane thing and slit their throats in a field. Leave their bodies for the vultures. Don't have to waste bullets or dig holes. No reason to kill the environment shipping people off.

I get mad at myself if I don't turn it on early enough. As I. If I go to change lanes and it only flashes once it really isn't enough notice for other drivers so I usually bitch at myself.

I may be the only person you meet who road rages against himself.

How would an electric car with a smart screen and shit not be considered technology

Thank you stranger. May all roads for you lead to your happiness

2 helicopter crashes today. I hope we hear the cause of this one

Apparently the penguin wanted a say in whether or not it was being deported

I just saw an article about Trump accusing someone of possible treason for criticism. https://lemmy.world/post/28001455

We'll have to see how it plays out.

And everyone is going to hate this here, but turning on OneDrive. We share laptops on mobile carts hooked to essentially car batters at work. Scanners and other tools are zip ties to carts and moving everything is impractical all the time. Grabbing one that you know you've used recently and using the cloud storage to link your desktop/documents/picture then dropping your Downloads folder into your documents and remapping it makes it so w.e computer you have on any day will have all your shit with minimal time loss.

At many companies when doing IT I would write a script that would copy files and export favorites from Edge, Chrome, Firefox to OneDrive as well and had an import script so when I got the users to the new location /computer it could dump all their shit back where it was without having to copy a hundred employees shit to shared folders and keep up with making sure they were deleted to free up space for other users.

Windows has it's pitfalls, but a TB of storage space for such comes in handy.

Curious what you use airplane mode for so much? Brightness, blue light, themes(dark mode) I often use but curious what I'm overlooking with Airplane mode

Not to mention those trained people mentioned above attempting to move here have to fight deportation for checks notes, coming here on a work visa, having a tattoo, speaking your mind, not being white. Hard to say really.

Well then what do you have?

Not sure they won't be replanted, but a 600 year old redwood looks a bit different than a 5 year old pine tree.

I imagine it's hard for forests to grow in such a climate

The 2nd amendment is part of the Bill of rights which he already trampled multiple times. There is no right to bear arms anymore, they just haven't had a reason to round anyone who uses them up yet.

That's your best yet. Thanks from a lurker .

If you care, 2nd was https://lemmynsfw.com/pictrs/image/34b24c74-91cc-4e18-a68f-99523e5e5b9b.jpeg

All opinionated of course, but maybe this would be 3. https://lemmynsfw.com/pictrs/image/5210e64a-c170-4615-bce8-d0eef8988625.jpeg

That's advertising. The entire phone book was a sold adventure. Jail, prison, what is the punishment for advertising. I think people have forgotten what advertising is. I ask you you favorite movie, you answer, advertising. If you tell me Lemmy is a decent place, advertising. Any app, game, movie, music, software, hardware, car, plant, advertising. Stop talking about any object if you want ALL advertising to be illegal as the description says
