What's a shame is they didn't compare it to far superior devices in the same price range like the Nvidia Shield or the OSMC Vero 4k. The fact that you can't stream all 4k HDR conte…

My apologies, and why I linked the other project. README goes a long ways, cause at the end of the day you're trying to release a project in an ecosystem where (for better or worse…

If you can't write data to a file, and then read it back in, it's not valid.

If they can't get a fundamentally simple feature right, why would I give them the benefit of the doubt that other features are thought out? bcp does _not_ escape commas or newlines…

I can tell you your app would be super useful to airline employees if you could disregard airfare for ranking! Pretty small user subset, but aside from hardcore skiers like yoursel…

Have you talked to any teachers? Teachers are facing budget cuts and being laid off left and right, so even if you're price sensitive your're going to be trying to reach a small gr…

An absolutely necessary feature for me is auto-discovery. Zabbix really has this down with recent versions. If your system has comparable templating/groups and the ability to autod…
