  • Navigate to a problematic movie or episode -> 3 dots -> Get info -> right column -> Color space

    Usually SDR is bt709 and HDR is bt2020. In older codecs (h264) 10 or 12 bit color depth can also cause issues.

    I’m not sure how tone mapping works on plex since I don’t have a pass but with Jellyfin you need to setup OpenCL which is run on the GPU so your guess that a hardware change can break it is plausible.






  • The FS feature is great, it’s just cumbersome to use without a tool.

    Snapper works well for a local backup like history both against botched updates and accidental deletion, but eats up the free space with the default settings.

    Timeshift is an easy to use GUI but doesn’t support non-default partitions.

    Also the quota support had a nasty side effect: freezing the whole system on snapshot deletion.

    With the currently available Android tablets the software really limits its uses. Many of the higher quality product focus too much on productivity without success. But this creeps up the prices so much that makes them hard to justify for entertainment.

    I think there are only a few use cases where tablets shine:

    • A small (and cheap) reader that’s a comfortable in one hand with a decent screen resolution. It works great as a big phone to enjoy reading comics, books, websites or browsing social media. The Tab S6 Lite 2022 is a solid 10" option and chinese brands offer 8" tabs like the Doogee T20 Mini. You won’t get long software support but the price makes it somewhat acceptable.
    • An Oled multimedia screen. These are great for all kinds of videos, movies and series. There are just a few options like the P11 Pro Gen2 that are affordable.

    Longer software support is only available from just Samsung or Google and I can’t justify the prices of those if a laptop can replace it. Here a Pixel Tablet or a Tab S9 costs the same as 13" laptop with oled screen (Zenbook S 13) with “unlimited” software support.

    I do own a T20 Mini and an old ThinkPad and I really like reading on the Android tablet even with the slow SoC and medicore screen, but bring a real laptop along for longer trips.




  • Was that gigabyte’s answer to your rma request?

    If that’s the case you should follow up while playing dumb like “it got worse. every game crashes after 2 minutes”. No need for specifics, just exaggerate the symptom a bit.

    High junction temp indicates wrong cooler contact or paste dry out. You can’t fix those without damaging your “warrany void” sticker.




  • Filesystem permissions

    For many apps it is not an issue and provides additional security but in other cases it’s very annoying and not trivial to fix.

    Example1: opening a .docx from Thunderbird flatpak with OnlyOffice flatpak does not work out of the box.

    Example2: mpv and VLC flatpaks work well for local files, but fail to open network shares from Dolphin.

    I think a possible solution would be runtime permission dialogs when denied access.
