A tip that might help: For audio and subtitles, try using Track Selection settings instead of Track List settings, and once you have all your choices selected, save them as a preset. Then when queuing episodes, choose that preset.

Also, consider doing a test run on part of a single episode before queuing up a batch. (Choose a time range of just a minute, for example.) That way you can check the result quickly, and adjust if necessary, before committing to the whole job.

Finally, I recommend using Add To Queue for each episode, then Start once they're all queued.

I’m just pointing out some specifics of the prerequisites,

Yes, that's fair.

which the article did a pretty bad job of highlighting imo, and how this is not the miraculous solution it’s somewhat touted to be.

It would also be fair to acknowledge that hackaday is not touting miracles, but simply knows their audience. One would have to be very new to hardware hacks like this to be unaware that preconditions almost always exist. Older firmware is one of the most common preconditions.

On the other hand, a person who would root a game console or TV is also likely to be the sort of person who would opt out of smart TV updates.

Are you talking about selecting multiple unconnected sections of text, so that they are highlighted at the same time? I think that's a Firefox feature.

Or are you talking about selecting something and then something else, so that only the last thing is highlighted, and finding both selections listed as separate items in KDE's clipboard manager?

In general, if something is possible to exploit, some companies will exploit it.

Figuring out which ones do can be difficult-to-impossible, since that information is not usually available to the public, or in many cases even to most employees. Unless a whistleblower steps forward, the best we can do is guess, and take whatever precautions we feel are worthwhile.

Why is anything from Fox News allowed here?

The Free Software Foundation can make whatever definitions they want, but they don’t supersede regular English.

Inclusive umbrella term. It means the software has to be both free and open source.

You are mistaken, but I won't argue about it.

I’ve been thinking of OSS and source available as interchangeable.

Nope; they are distinct terms. Source-available is just a general way of saying that the source code can be (legally) acquired. It doesn't meet the standards of open-source software (OSS) or Free Software, both of which guarantee certain rights and freedoms, such as permission to make and redistribute changes to the source code.

It's understandable that it might be confusing, though, since some people use the terms casually without understanding that they have specific meanings, and since both phrases use English words that could be interpreted to mean something else. (For example, "free software" doesn't mean software whose price is zero, and "open-source software" doesn't mean software whose source code is published in the open.)

Edit to add: Like many English words, the context in which they are used affects their meaning. The field of software is such a context.

But now it kind of seems to me that free software is interchangeable with open source software. Is it just a matter of branding?

The two overlap, but are not exactly the same. The umbrella term FOSS evolved to encompass both, because there is so much overlap between them that having such a term is often useful.

Indeed. I clicked reply before your edit. Here is the key part of the quote you selected:

FOSS is an inclusive umbrella term for free software and open-source software.

That means Free software qualifies and FOSS, and Open-Source software qualifies as FOSS. It's a broader category, not a narrower one.

Doesn’t FOSS refer to software this is both free and open source?

Not exclusively, no. It's an umbrella term.
