Slap one of these under or behind your tv. Put pop-os Linux on it it. You can run pihole/Jellyfin/kodi off it at the same time. It will host your anime and index it with jellyfin, filter your entire network for ads, and give you kodi’s excellent interface.
Jellyfin can grab metadata/subtitles/autoskip intros/on and on and has native kodi integration. It will run better on a beefer PC than the one above, but if youre just using it on 1 tv with kodi, you should be fine.
This is common. I expect you’re hearing more because there are some actual huge strides happening now in solid state and sodium based batteries, mainly from China.
“A perfect battery” is the limiting factor for a huge amount of technology, and has sweeping ramifiactions. From power generation to transportation to climate change to all electronics, to geopolictal power over fossil fuels and rare minerals, getting to “the perfect battery” will shift our world drastically. Its a “silver bullet” tech, which is why reporting and hype about it is so hyperbolic.
