Agreed, you’re probably going to run into network bottlenecks before storage read times become an issue

Most TVs these days have a USB port for exactly this purpose, you can load media files up onto a flash drive and plug it in, then you should be able to browse the files and play it from there.

However, if you want to be able to play files hosted on your PC without having to copy them to a drive, you would have to set up a media server like Jellyfin on your PC and either buy or build a compatibility for your TV. Fire TV sticks or a Chromecast would work as cheap options to buy, or you could look into hosting a Kodi instance if you have spare hardware lying around.

There are really a ton of options, my above suggestions are only scratching the surface.

I second this. Getting a source of external motivation like a coach is great for achieving a goal like this. Especially as they would no doubt have techniques to make the journey easier.

This was my issue as well, I didn’t see the option to select unfortunately.

I believe Calibre has the ability to send books via the Kindle email address to get them on your device that way.

I’ve always heard the ideal is about a 20% raise from your previous position, especially if you have plenty of experience with the new position.

Though this does depend on many other factors, I’d definitely try to get an idea of the standard salary for this position through any means, even a site like Glassdoor or something. Knowledge is power, especially when negotiating a salary!
