  There are so many ways they can put the squeeze on. Session time limit, throttle fraffic, restrict usage times etc.

  Then you can sell a monthly VPN+ subscription and offer revisiting lifetime users 2 years free if they move to the new “better” service.

  I’m not saying I agree with any of this, but it’s certainly not a new strategy. They’ve nothing to lose. Those who are pissed off will leave, you already have their money and those who want to stay will pay up.

  The VPN company can have their cake and eat it

  It was Plex that did the IP range ban because people were selling access to their boxes.

  There are two types connection in this scenario

  1. Direct - no additional cost to Plex, using the port forwarding instructions you mentioned. No limit on bandwidth - the best (and most common) option
  2. Relay - for whatever reason your client cannot reach the server (CGNAT / port forwarding not possible / firewall on client side etc), Plex will act like a man in the middle & limit the connection to 2mbit. (Yup, megaBIT).

  I switched away from Plex last year because they wouldn’t let me connect with my box in Hetzner. I’m now using Emby, ironically I’m also paying for Emby’s monthly subscription. Not because I believe I need to, but because I want the developer to continue to work on it.

  I work for an MSP. I can assure you, those who believe they need excel to do their job are willing to die on that hill, and take the whole department with them

  I was thinking about this when shopping last week. Went to lift 6 eggs, Saw they were like £2 and thought “clearly just an American thing at the minute”

  In our company I’m friends with one of the lead devs. He once told me “no matter what way you look at it, excel is never the answer” lll I’m sure he was a bit biased, but I’ve seen my fair share of macro-ridden abominations over the years

  Maybe they should have focussed their efforts on carbonated water to combat the fizzle

  There’s a bit of text you can add to the google search to have it exclude Gemini. This site does it for you: udm14.com I did a search in this, then copied the url result into my browser settings replacing my search word with %s. I haven’t seen the AI results since

  A friend of mine helped me set up a Star Trek automation where the lights turn on and a Star Trek LCARS video plays on my TV.

  Went to demo it only tk discover he’d changed the link to a rickroll. I love that trolling bastard
