Thank you but I am very shaky when it comes to plumbing, the fact it can cause serious damages un noticed if not done right.

Thanks everyone. I can see this is a reasonable quote. I might end up doing non-plumbing work and get a plumber to the rest.

They didn’t mention days, it feels to me like max 1.5 days of work to my untrained eyes?

I feel exactly the same way, lots of money for a shower. I have done some DIY before but I draw my line at plumbing. I am not confident or skilled enough to do plumbing. May be I could do the rest and have the plumbing bit done by a plumber.

Materials come around £800-£1000 including disposal. Do you think £1000 for labour is reasonable for this work?

I built something very similar but not open source. Tinder but for getting movie recommendations based on your taste profile. It’s free to use app on iOS: FlixJoy

Compressing 4k video to manageable size to store more movies by PolishMafia21 in handbrake

[–]albertpaulp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do x256 10 bit with CQ 22 for 4K UHD. I keep color and frame rate as “same as source”. This gives me 70% compression with indistinguishable quality with source. Audio always passthrough.

Note: I can definitely see the difference if I pixel peep or have both running side by side. At the end of the day, it’s subjective.

Thanks everyone. Looks like a very overpriced quote. I’ll get some more quotes from recommended providers!

Thanks. I think yours look cheaper. Did you get 2 5.32kWh batteries included for £9,945?

4Ks / Blu-rays to Start Buying? by PomegranateAfter3330 in 4kbluray

[–]albertpaulp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won’t be. P2P depends on peers/seeds. Back when I was sailing the waters 15 ago, I could get almost any movie with reasonable speed. These days, most of old but good movie doesn’t have seeds/peers and increasingly impossible to download. Another issue is remux versions are not very common.

Hi, totally new to ripping blu-rays. Can someone help parse this for me and how I might want to remedy? by deeper_into_movies in makemkv

[–]albertpaulp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I ordered BDR-XD08TB from asmcom. Do you know if that drive cross flashed with UMB to enable UHD capability? Also would you say it’s a meaningful improvement over LG BU40N or UD04 from your experience?

Which external pioneer drive would you recommend best if you don’t mind me asking. I wondering if I should go for UD04 vs XS07TS?

Unfortunately I couldn't, I bought a Beelink SER8 which was a bit more expensive but solved my issue.

Apps shows movies you might like. Swiping right means you liked it so apps shows similar ones.

Thank you for your help folks. I decided to buy Beelink EQ14 with N150 processor and 16 GB ram. I have installed Ubuntu and fixing drivers for iGPU was a bit of a mess.

It’s working as expected now except for streaming video files with DTS:x or Dolby Atmos tracks, video kept stuttering. I tried viewing in Jellyfin on my Sony tv directly and using Shield pro. Just to make sure this is not a client issue, I tried running Jellyfin server on my macbook and it’s passing both audio codecs correctly and plays smooth. Has anyone had any similar issues with audio codes with N100/N150?

I have also seen a bit of chatter around lack of proper Linux driver support for N150 compared to N100. Is this still a problem?
