Automated numberplate recognition systems have spoilt so much fun.

That’s less than a kettle, in the UK at least.

Of course I wouldn’t want to be running that all the time, because electric ain’t cheap.

Yes, but if the server isn’t fast enough to do it, then you’re going to have a bad time.

Yeah, it should have been fine. Was latest Ubuntu as well. Maybe something iffy about the laptop hardware, some obscure thing that wasn’t supported. In any case it’s gone now.

I tried this recently with a 10 year old laptop. Much better specs than that. 6GB RAM, ran W10 incredibly slowly due to HDD.

I couldn’t even boot the Ubuntu USB installer.

I find Kodi decent on my nVidia Shield, where Jellyfin often struggles. Especially when it comes to subtitles.

Strongly dislike the UI though.

Same in my smaller UK city. If you’re a tourist, it’s probably a decent idea. Might work in London or somewhere like that. But Nottingham? Who is going there to see the sights? There’s only a slightly rubbish castle. Don’t take long to see that. Most of the Robin Hood tat is up at Sherwood Forest, and you ain’t taking a toy scooter to go and see that.

For a commuter, that scooter would be taken to their office, would sit outside all day, then they’d take it back. Just the regular 9 to 5 workday. That’s not a sustainable business model. They’d need to be just in a really busy area, and in use all the time.
