They do, but they much more expensive than a smart TV, even though they have less components.. Because a Smart TV is sold for less because its providing the vendor access to you as a product to all of their 3rd party partners.
Not sure what that meant, but the mildlyvagina jokes have been around for years, and I honestly was not sure what I was about to scroll into when I saw it. After years on social media, you never know.
If the internet somehow thinks making an joking observation like this is bad karma now or something, the internet needs to get over itself. Laughing at things online is the only way to stay sane these days.
I don't encode in AV1, I use HEVC. But while your argument is not unreasonable, it misses the component of file size and amount of disk space required.
HEVC (x265) takes half the space of x264. While it does require a more modern GPU, it can be run on lower powered Intel CPUs with an integrated GPU just fine, so long as the CPU is new enough. Though it can only handle 2-3 streams on a CPU like the Intel chips in a ZimaBoard. So you need to choose wisely.
