  • Pretty much this. Imagine some untutored user given the jellyfin client. They can figure it out pretty quickly as it is much like Netflix. Compare that to a Kofi on a Pi, first you have a keyboard/mouse. OK, then arrow keys and spacebar get you a ways in - now how do I stop the video? Panic till you find out it’s the X key.

    It is the simplicity vs functionality debate. Kodi is amazingly configurable but it is not accessible for your normal household user without a ton of work. Jellyfin(as an example) just runs on the Roku they are already using.

    Eventually I’m getting off my old Roku 3 permanently for Kodi, so I’m just saying I wish Kodi had a dummy mode.

    Yeah i had an 83, it was a 12A I guess? Revved like crazy and was one of the more balanced cars I ever drove. Consistently got 20 mpg, not great. I don’t recall it using much oil and thr transmission went before the engine. The nonturbo versions were pretty sturdy, heat kills the apex seals I hear.




  • Here is one of history’s tiny little stories. HMS Hawke was sunk by SMS U-9 commanded by Otto Weddingen, who had just previously sunk three warships (albeit old ones) in a single encounter, submerged all the while. This convinced a lot of people that submarines were not toys, but actual threats. Weddingen went on to command U-29 which was the only ship ever sunk by HMS Dreadnought, the first dreadnoughts type battleship that started the big naval arms race in Europe (and Dreadnought sunk the U-boat by ramming, not gunfire).
