Kodi on a Raspberry Pi 4 is pretty good, and you can run moonlight from within Kodi. Of course, you have to find a reasonably priced Pi…
EDIT: Also, I use this setup in a spare room, but use an Apple TV in my living room for identical purposes. Though I use Infuse and the actual Steam remote play application.
I think the general public isn’t stupid in this instance, I think they’re just cheap. I have a friend who filled his house with Echo speakers and bragged that it was less expensive than a couple HomePods or Sonos speakers. When I pointed out that Alexa made shopping suggestions after a request he made, he kinda brushed it off, but a few months later he disconnected them all when he noticed private conversations around the house were influencing his Amazon recommendations. He’s fortunate enough to have learned from his mistake and been able to afford to fix it. A lot of folks see a 4k streaming device for $30, compare it to something like the Nvidia shield or the Apple TV, and think it’s a great deal. When they find themselves frustrated by advertising a couple days, weeks, or months later (or maybe desensitized to it like a frog in boiling water), it’s too late. They’ve already spent their money, and/or assume that this is just what all streaming devices are like, so why spend more for this experience?
Stupidity? Probably not, just cheapness and an ignorance of how low cost hardware stays low cost.
These features are abnormally asymmetric to the point of being off-putting. General symmetry of features is a significant part of what attracts people one to another, and why facial droops from things like Bells Palsy or strokes can often be psychologically difficult for the patient who experiences them.
General symmetry, not exact symmetry.
Those arm positions occur over the course of a fluid motion in a single second. How long does it take for you to drop your hands to your side or raise them to clasped from the side? It doesn’t take me more than about half a second as a deliberate movement.
Generally the final photo is an accurate representation of a moment. Everything in this photo happened. It’s not really generating anything that wasn’t there. You can sometimes get similar results by exploiting the rolling shutter effect.

It’s not like they’re superimposing an image of the moon over a night sky photo to fake astrophotography or something.
And the resulting faces still all have lazy eyes, asymmetric features, and significantly uncanny issues.
That seems crazy to me. Is it a Windows exclusive thing, or is it something they’re rolling out everywhere? I have an Epson printer, only about a year old, and on macOS I don’t have any issues printing or scanning without any Epson software installed on my system. It did pull down drivers when discovering the printer on my network, and I can’t see any features that it would have that I don’t get aside from the “email to print” stuff that I’ve never needed or wanted to use.
Yes. I get my coffee from a local roaster as a subscription. A couple bags a month guaranteed at the same price each month, sometimes a few extra goodies in my box, a free cup of coffee in house every day of the month, and a discount on merchandise and coffee.
The roaster is Caravan Coffee. They ship, too, but I’m relatively local so I just pick my box in person. https://caravancoffee.com/
That isn’t how Genesis begins. Genesis begins “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” The second verse (in English) does say “the earth was without form and void”, but “without form and void” is better translated as “an unformed void”. We translate “void” adjectively (instead of as a noun) in Genesis 1:2 because the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew text used by Hellenistic jews in and around the turn of the BC/AD epoch’s) implied an unseen quality to earth. “Unseen and unready” would be a rough translation of the Greek translation into modern English, where “unseen” (ἀόρατος) is the word translated as “void”. In actuality the Hebrew word is a noun (bohu, בֹּהוּ), not an adjective. And it’s masculine.

Most manufacturers don’t license the instruction set, only the Cortex core designs. Those licensing fees are actually lower than the instruction set.
So… for every 10 million devices Apple sells, ARM makes $3m? Last year Apple sold 232.2 million iPhones, 60.4 million iPads, and I can’t find a statistic for Mac sales in 2022 only 7 million in a particular quarter, so maybe 21-30 million. We’ll say 30.
That’s ~320 million devices at 30¢ each (and doesn’t include AirPods, Apple TVs, Watches, HomePods, or any other ARM based device Apple sells). That’s $96m dollars for the license to an instruction set Apple helped create, used for chips Apple designed, and that Apple pays to have fabricated.
Nearly $100m a year on three product lines that don’t use ARM Holdings’ cores, or require ARM’s involvement in engineering or manufacturing, only the instruction set seems fair to me.
Even the Pi 4 runs Kodi just fine.
