I've been pretty good this black Friday tbh
Only ordered one single thing
That's a steam link lmao
for $9AUD it's a little Kodi box that can decode x264 1080p natively
But youre giving me ideas
<:alismirk:230784726615588865>
Why order if you got everything for now ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Endo#0310 Thinkpads are made by Lenovo, so it's a bit of a silly question
lmao
and consumer laptops are complete trash compared to business ones
they're all designed to shit the bed after a year
@Droidbot don't forget you can emulate psx and other consoles on that steam link thingy, it's very neat
stick to Thinkpads/Elitebooks/Latitudes if you want something that'll last
I'm putting it in the lounge room as a little stream box
need a good controller tho, any chink options?

although kodi leaves much to be desired on the steam link

@Pinkorek is it okay at least? All my content is encoded x264 10-20Mbps bitrate and 720p/1080p so I'd thought it'd be fine
I think for the moment kodi can only do s/w decoding and it had issues playing 720p stuff from YouTube through plugin
well, it played it, but for the first 10 secs or so the sound was choppy
it has hw decoding as of 17.2
for steamlink
>not using plex
hmm, didn't seem like it, but I'll be sure to check when I get home
😦
and requires it to reencode shit which is hell on my low power atom shitbox
it reencodes only if you watch non native
I think
the TV only does 720p x264 in hardware so all my 1080p shit needs to be downscaled and reencoded
oh
rip
