This stream at least looks to be h264 only, which is more likely to be hardware decodable with older hardware than the vp9/av1 that Youtube usually uses.
This is also one of those policies where, even if it is something that is not universally popular at first, becomes so once it is entrenched. In Australia there was an ongoing battle with it but once it was embedded in society, it became political suicide to roll it back (although the conservatives have chipped away at it with some success).
So the lesson is to just do the thing because it is obviously superior to the alternatives, and it will become popular quite quickly.
Abolish mutual obligations - it's punitive, expensive, and causes significant harm to the most vulnerable while doing little to help people gain employment
Raise the payment - there have been some very minor increases and fiddling around the edges but the payment is still well below the poverty line
Bring back the CES - private job providers are worse than useless and have little ability or intention to help the most vulnerable.
Perplexity is okay with more academic topics at the least, albeit pretty shallow (usually isn't that different to google). There might be a policy not to include encyclopedias, but it would be an improvement over SEO garbage for sure.
It's a shame modern phones have been losing both micro SD card slots and headphone jacks and often don't have a substantial amount of storage. Still better than carrying multiple devices, however.
Linux support has made some decent strides, particularly with the open source monado / wivrn + xrizer stack (steamvr / alvr still have their issues but are getting better).
WebDAV is probably the easiest for syncing the actual articles. I use some standalone server whose name I can't recall but there's a bunch of options.
I also use calibre-web for accessing articles through koreader + opds on a Kobo ereader, although this is a manual process and could probably be refined.
Many of them support ZigBee and work fine in that context. It's just the wifi devices that are problematic.
