If you have a 3050-level graphics card or higher you can use RTX upscaling to improve the image, from the browser. 1080p content improves a lot if the base bitrate is okay, but dogshit 700mb/hr rips are always going to look bad.

Was IE for the longest time

I absolutely see your point, and agree to an extent. However, I was on this exact journey a decade ago and a few free sites (for local charities and orgs) to establish a presence genuinely helped attract paying clients. Obviously I set some firm boundaries that any support would come at a cost and that both established expectations and got a few, admittedly small, income streams going off the bat.

Solo Web dev is very competitive. It’ll take a while before you are able to get paying clients, especially if you’ve not got a portfolio already. Be prepared to do a fair bit of free work first.

I shill brave on iOS regularly as a way to get past ads on mobile and watch with background playback. But that’s more because of how much I hate ads than any loyalty to brave. I highly doubt they’re paying for the kind of low quality shilling this guy is doing on Amazon. If they are, they can start paying me as well!

Yeah, awake. Stood in a giant freezer wearing only shorts, socks and a mask. It’s a way to enhance healing by encouraging white blood cell production via shocking the system through lowering skin temp rapidly. Very good for muscular issues, arthritis, etc. I just did it once for fun, but I could really go for a bulk set sessions… getting old.

I know you said indoor temperatures don’t count, but my low is kinda fun: -110c for three minutes (cryotherapy). Outdoor was 48c (local thermometer said higher) in northern Western Australia.
