I've had the opposite experience. I'm on a Pixel 8 running Graphene. So far today (8.5 hours since last charge), I'm at 87%. The screen time meter says 90 minutes of screen time since last charge. I've been running Bluetooth for about 4 hours, and WiFi full time.

I'd typically be under 60% at this point when I was on stock Android.

I mean, have you seen these things? It's entirely possible the monstrosity doesn't fit in the garage!

I have to ask... Are you actually happy with Kodi? Did you find a way to make it more usable?

I set it up on a RPi, got Netflix and Amazon working on it, and I really, REALLY wanted to like it...

But I just can't. The interface is awful. The sorting is nonsensical. You have to manually enable thumbnails. You can change it, but you have to change it for every interface. And then it doesn't remember, so you have to go through all that again the next time you use it.

Sorry if I sound whiny, but I'd love to know if you got it to be more usable than I could.

Haha, that's a good call. I certainly should have. I was pretty new with the torch so I suppose I was focused on the task at hand.

And it was just the tip™️. The last inch or 2 on the fork of a small lift won't make a lot of noise compared to the torch.

I was using the forks as a workbench to cut a piece of 1/2" steel with an acetylene torch. I thought I had enough overhang to make it work.

Those forks ended up about 1.5" shorter after I finished my cut.

We each have our own checking account. We also have a joint account. Each of us receives our paychecks in our personal account. We each keep a small portion in our personal accounts for each month for personal expenses, gifts, etc. The rest goes into the joint account.

We set up credit cards the same way. This gives us the means to buy gifts for each other without the other knowing. It also provides redundancy for lost cards.

We can both see the joint accounts. We cannot see each other's personal accounts. Our bank has it set up so I can see everything I have access to on a single online account.

This arrangement has been working well for years.

For my money, it's Puscifer > Tool > APC.

Don't get me wrong, they're all great in their own forms!

Except you can't, at least not completely. As far as I can tell, you still cannot change network settings on Nest cameras through the Home app. Per Google, you need to use the Nest app for that...

I recently had the opportunity to drive from Tennessee to Alabama. I'd never been to this region before. I was amazed at how lush everything was!

I don't know about y'all, but I'm trying to find ways to resist what's coming. They want to fuck us over. Don't make it easy!

 

I have Kodi installed on top of LibreElec on a Raspberry Pi. It works well, and I've installed the addons for Netflix and Prime. However, it's frustrating to use because the interface defaults are not great and changes to preferences are not persistent.

The default view is a list format. I'm sure some love that, but I prefer tiles. The default sort is nonsensical (I can't even tell what it is). I can set it to newest or oldest first.

But there is no global setting that I can find, so you need to set it for every interface. What's more, if you change these settings for an addon, they'll revert to the defaults the next time you use it.

Given the popularity of Kodi, I'm sure I'm just missing something. Can anyone give advice on how to set this up?

Thanks!
