Yes, I think the worst part about using a laptop is having to plug it in and unplug it when you're finished. You'll also need a keyboard/mouse combo.

I like the design of paid streaming services and smart TV UI. Usually it's really accommodating to remote users. The problem is that it limits what you can do with it, which a computer can overcome.

Lol, okay. I'm trying to see what you, specifically, are referring to. But I guess that's too much to ask.

Have a nice day.

Quality is definitely better if you can download it yourself.

It's also great to have the convenience of a remote. However, it's possible to set up remote controls with laptops or other computers. I don't go through the trouble of doing it though. I just use a wireless keyboard/mouse combo.

Lol, okay.

asked for sources

doesn't provide them

So convincing.

I'm curious what you are specifically referring to. You're the one who brought up scientific studies. Link to them. Are you saying you just read what was in this thread and that's what you're citing? Okay. Link to the specific studies you're talking about.

I'm not interested in what other people are referring to. I'm interested in what you, the guy bringing up studies, is referring to.

You say they're "definitive." Show me a definitive study. Go on. Go ahead. Don't make me comb through and assume what you're talking about. Stick your neck out and own it.

Can you link it?

definitively

Lol, I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Let's see this "definitive" research. You probably think any study is "definitive." Lol.

That's fine man.

You don't have to understand everything.

I hope you feel the same way about people who enjoy prank videos.

Ffs so you know how pedantic you sound right now?

🥱

If you can read instructions, it’s not that hard to set these things up.

Lol. Like I said. Posts like these just show me how disconnected techbros are from normal people.

It’s just a matter of what you value more.

Yes, and people coming from paid streaming services value convenience over complexity. They would rather have a free streaming site than learn to self-host.

You don't have to "learn how to use a streaming site" like you would need to learn how to set up a fucking technology stack, lol. I don't even know what the other two things are, and I'm a techbro. I guess I can spend more time learning and configuring instead of just entering a URL and making sure I have uBlock Origin installed.

Don't I also need to download content for it anyways? Sheeh. This is getting pretty complicated for the average netflix user!

Sigh. Don't let technology control you. Know what you're doing, and why you're doing it.

so all else being equal we should have the lowest crime rate, right?

In what myopic world do you live in where "all else is equal"?

Also, you're confusing "harsher sentences" with "incarceration rate." They are not the same.
