That's a steam link lmao

2017-11-24 12:55:48 UTC  

for $9AUD it's a little Kodi box that can decode x264 1080p natively

2017-11-24 12:56:09 UTC  

@Julian I do not want to eat it

2017-11-24 12:56:15 UTC  

But youre giving me ideas

Why order if you got everything for now ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2017-11-24 12:56:51 UTC  

@Endo#0310 Thinkpads are made by Lenovo, so it's a bit of a silly question

2017-11-24 12:56:53 UTC  

lmao

2017-11-24 12:57:02 UTC  

and consumer laptops are complete trash compared to business ones

2017-11-24 12:57:13 UTC  

they're all designed to shit the bed after a year

2017-11-24 12:57:43 UTC  

@Droidbot don't forget you can emulate psx and other consoles on that steam link thingy, it's very neat

2017-11-24 12:57:48 UTC  

stick to Thinkpads/Elitebooks/Latitudes if you want something that'll last

2017-11-24 12:57:56 UTC  

@Pinkorek That too

2017-11-24 12:58:11 UTC  

I'm putting it in the lounge room as a little stream box

2017-11-24 12:58:19 UTC  

cause I never fucking go out there

2017-11-24 12:58:30 UTC  

need a good controller tho, any chink options?

2017-11-24 12:58:43 UTC  

although kodi leaves much to be desired on the steam link

2017-11-24 12:58:51 UTC  

m'lady

2017-11-24 12:59:27 UTC  

@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

2017-11-24 13:00:48 UTC  

I think for the moment kodi can only do s/w decoding and it had issues playing 720p stuff from YouTube through plugin

2017-11-24 13:01:16 UTC  

well, it played it, but for the first 10 secs or so the sound was choppy

2017-11-24 13:01:24 UTC  

it has hw decoding as of 17.2

2017-11-24 13:01:29 UTC  

for steamlink

2017-11-24 13:01:53 UTC  

>not using plex

2017-11-24 13:01:53 UTC  

hmm, didn't seem like it, but I'll be sure to check when I get home

2017-11-24 13:02:06 UTC  

@Julian I do but it's shit on my TV

2017-11-24 13:02:17 UTC  

😦

2017-11-24 13:02:22 UTC  

and requires it to reencode shit which is hell on my low power atom shitbox

2017-11-24 13:02:53 UTC  

it reencodes only if you watch non native

2017-11-24 13:02:59 UTC  

I think

2017-11-24 13:03:25 UTC  

the TV only does 720p x264 in hardware so all my 1080p shit needs to be downscaled and reencoded

2017-11-24 13:03:30 UTC  

oh

2017-11-24 13:03:31 UTC  

rip

2017-11-24 13:03:31 UTC  

it's hell

2017-11-24 13:04:41 UTC
