It does work; I vastly improved my English using that method (amongst others).
But in my experience, it only works if you understand enough of the language that you can get the basic structure of what is being said. Otherwise you can't focus on the written and spoken languages at the same time.
I agree with @joostvb 's recommendation to watch subtitled children's videos. Those usually have sentence structures that are simpler and therefore easier to understand.

That's not true for those who were resuscitated at one point in their life more recently then half a lifetime ago.

No, probably not. I only started to do that once I was able to follow basic conversions in the target language.
If you're too much of a beginner, I don't think using subtitles is the best way of learning a language, also because subtitles are not always 100% accurate

If you want to improve your language, don't focus on the subtitles, focus on the audio, and use the subtitles only when you're not sure of the audio.

And yet, since 2000, Debian has never had less than 6 ports, and for much of that time the counter was at 11.
Looks like it will be 8 for forky...

End result is that you have several years worth of build logs on buildd.debian.org that you can go and audit, as well as binaries on snapshot.debian.org.
And also the core packages are all reproducible, so you can verify independently.

- the build daemons churn away at building unstable constantly, both to prove that the hardware can keep up and that the toolchain is not riddled with bugs
- after a few years of this, the architecture is added to the official archive. packages from ports are used to build a minimal chroot
- the build system is configured to recompile those packages
- now they build the rest of unstable

If you dig deep enough, there's always a binary that was used for bootstrapping that isn't available anymore.
How far you need to go for that is what matters, IMO. Debian's process for adding a new port to the archive is:
- someone builds the initial chroot using cross compilers or vendor binaries or something.
- these are used to start the port on ports.debian.net

I use a wi-fi remote which I can then control with my home assistant setup (but you can also use their phone app if you prefer).
Specifically, mine is a broadlink RM4 mini.
This is more flexible than a universal remote, as it can record the messages from your original remote and that way you can program whatever functionality you need.
Dunno whether that's something you'd consider, but thought I'd mention it.

That's only 1.x, right? No plans to get rid of more modern ones?
(Don't expect you to, but it's been my experience that it's better to ask than to indirectly assume all will be fine...)
