What's the catch with Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] randromeda@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was he using another debrid service? Because from what I understand you can only stream if the file is cached by the service, otherwise torrentio just gives you the torrent. Without a VPN it makes sense why he got DMCA'd

What's the catch with Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid (lemmy.ml)
 

After my last post on here asking about convenient streaming options at higher resolutions, I got a few comments recommending Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debrid.

I ended up going through with that and streamed a 4k movie. That said, what's the catch? I'm a little paranoid because I'm not sure if this still counts as torrenting, and if I should be using a VPN while watching something from RD.

No such thing as free lunch, so I'm assuming there's other downsides to this solution, could someone let me know what they are?

Streaming at higher resolutions? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've finally invested in a high resolution monitor, which means 1080p content looks pretty bad, especially on a 32 inch display.

I've been using FMovies so far for streaming, but now that 1080 looks like shit on my display, it's sort of lost it's appeal. Are there any ways to have a convenient streaming setup (that doesn't require too much effort for every new movie/show I want to watch) that also supports 1440p or 4k?

What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I haven't paid a cent for YouTube in my life. Wouldn't that mean it's free?

Best phone around 120 and 200$? (Read description) in c/android@lemmy.world

I don't understand it so nobody does

Just because you don't understand what security patches are doesn't mean your phone can't be exploited, especially when it's running an os that's half a decade old.

Whatever happened to that new photo picker that Android was supposed to get? (lemmy.ml)
 

I remember a while back Google unveiled a better photo picker that won't make us go through the file structure to pick images.

Is that something developers need to implement because so far not a single app I use has implemented it.

Just wondering if there's any apps that do?

Barely getting 3 hours SOT on a full charge (P7) (lemmy.ml)
 

It might be placebo but after the June update my battery life has been struggling. I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything different but I'm open for suggestions.

I did get a battery replacement because the entire back panel on my phone was replaced but I doubt that could be the issue since my battery health is literally at 100%.

What's the average SOT P7 users are getting these days? I can't imagine even 5 hours of SOT can count as "all-day battery". For reference I'm using LTE with my brightness around 50% most of the time.

June Feature Drop + Android 13 QPR3 rolling out in c/googlepixel@lemmy.ml
[–] randromeda@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Here in Canada I don't have the cinematic wallpaper or emoji wallpaper feature. I also don't have the automatic timer start feature when taking photos. I don't understand why these were touted as feature drop features when they were server side all along, or they need an individual app (the camera) to be updated.

Feature request: switch behavior for tap and long press on comments. (lemmy.ml)
 

I came over from Boost for Reddit so the UI on Jerboa is relatively familiar. That said, as it stands a tap collapses a comment while long pressing a comment opens the action bar.

I was wondering if we could get an option to customize tap and long press behavior?

Obviously this is a very nitpicky behavior so I understand if dev resources are better spent elsewhere.

Is lemmy.ml really sluggish for anyone else? in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] randromeda@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Ironically I didn't even realize the post went through until I saw your comment pop up. The post submit button was loading for a good few minutes

Is lemmy.ml really sluggish for anyone else? (lemmy.ml)
 

I assume this is to be expected as we get closer to the reddit blackout date but I'm just wondering if lemmy.ml is running slower for anyone than usual?

Nothing phone 2 in c/android@lemmy.ml
[–] randromeda@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Despite popular opinion being that it sucks, I kinda like what Nothing is doing. I'm happy with my Pixel 7, but if I was in the market for a unique looking android phone I would consider it.
