You could then bend or brake the tab used to solder the cable to the connector (it’s thin) and you would have something closer to the right side image.

It also lacks a lot of polish and features but it is being worked on. There should be an update soon.
I’ve been using infuse on Apple TV. Infuse isn’t open source and needs a subscription to watch most 4k hdr content. I think it’s worth it if Swiftfin gets an update soon.
Apple TV is definitely a better experience compared to Samsung and Android. Apps are nicer and there isn’t any ads, privacy controls and privacy statements are much better. Recommended content can also be disabled and only shows when your hovering over the relevant app.

They may think it’s more secure that signal does this. It is also harder to attack all of signal.
They are also significantly resource constrained, everything they have goes towards defence. The effort building the app could be deployed on developing weapon systems they can’t buy.
Your right nations should have their own independent systems for secure communications for military, politicians and civil service.

It’s difficult to get anything to work on android tv when you don’t sign and don’t enable all the google shit. Even then the privacy statement is still bend over or your tv doesn’t boot past this screen.
The Apple TV much better.
It may be better than current android tv because the shield is so old and not been updated in so long.
Apple TV doesn’t have ads only what’s on when you have the app icon selected. Except inside apps that have ads.
It is reasonable to assume correlation in the context the causation occurs in. To imply TikTok isn’t influencing people is baseless ignorance or deliberately misleading.
People downloading TikTok are more likely to be impressionable children, TikTok then influences these children. Is a much more likely outcome, than what your suggesting.

His motivation may be more sinister. It could create a situation where non medical treatments can be advertised without restriction and genuine medicines can’t. It needs to be applied to all treatments, even unregulated ones.

A player that supports the codec will not need server hw accept and hdr conversion as it will direct stream. A big issues is these codecs can cost money. So if the player doesn’t come with it the player needs to pay for it, something plex may be doing for those that purchased their subscription.

The union stopped even more layoffs from happening. They stopped a 10% wage cut, and the jobs that are being cut won’t be immediately cut as planned.
This provides employees more time and more salary to find a new role elsewhere. The unions had to accept the reality of the situation, they would all be out of work if the company folded. They did win much fairer treatment for the employees than they would have had otherwise. They also got more support from the goverment to keep the business running and keep factories open than the business could get alone.
Unions work and this wasn’t an exception. In fact the union probably benefitted the shareholders as they produced an outcome that is more sustainable long term than the business leaders and shareholders would have chosen without the threat of strikes.
Is it not the case in the US that cowboy something means that something is a scam/crook/dishonest?
I assumed cowboy means scammer/crook was common in all English speaking countries.
