- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 1 day ago:
I’m playing it right now, and ots actually a lot of fun. Exploration feels fun still like doom 2016 and Eternal, and you have different murder mechanics to choose from in the midst of a hundred enemies. I’d say the reviews are right.
Now, that being said, I think i still like 2016 better, but they both have a very different feel from each other.

- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 4 days ago:
Here’s a link directly from plex website.
Specifically, this bolded section:
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS:
For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee. - Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 4 days ago:
Yep. But it gets called enshitification, yet the platform still scrapes Metadata reliably, still streams to any client reliably, and is still easy to share with friends and family wothout having to manage ip addresses or ddns. To me, the ‘enshitifcation’ people are complaining about is literally not wanting to support devs for a product that does what you need, well.
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 4 days ago:
Not quite. Only if users want to stream from a server that doesn’t have a plex pass, in which case the user needs a plex watch pass.
If you (the server owner) has plex pass, all users (even free accounts) can stream from your without a pass.
If you (the server owner) does not have plex pass, then the users need a plex watch pass to stream from you.
Essentially, they’re making sure one side or the other has paid but free to free is being stopped.
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 4 days ago:
Yes, because the core mechanics of their platform is media metadata management and streaming. As long as those work, and my users don’t have to pay anything (because I have a plex pass lifetime already), then it has no effect on me or my users.
All that extra stuff can just be turned off.
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 4 days ago:
Eh, tbh it still does the core basics of streaming my content and Metadata management, so I don’t really care about enshitification of ‘extra’ features that I never use. It’s still the easiest way to share media
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 weeks ago:
Your users are getting that because they have a plex account that they use to stream. They might stream from just you, but they could stream from any other shared server they’re connect to. That’s why they get this email.
If you have a plex pass and are a server owner, they can ignore this and keep streaming from you for free.
If they try to stream from a server owner who does not have plex pass, it won’t work u less the user themselves have a plex watch pass, whoch let’s them stream from any server that doesn’t have plex pass.
Since you have plex pass, your users won’t be impacted at all.
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 2 weeks ago:
Actually I never record videos and rarely take pictures with them. It’s the feature i use the least.
I use them for music, phone calls, and AI requests (like having a Google home you can ask at any moment). Once and a while I’ll ask it to tell me what I’m looking at to listen to it describe something. When I walk somewhere and need to use maps, it tells the directions to me as I walk which is pretty neat.
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 2 weeks ago:
I mean, maybe of ots done well. I have the meta raybans and love them, mainly because I can listen to music as if I had earphones in, and talk on my phone with them, record, and take videos.
If it had a UI to select options and could display info too, that would be pretty sick imo.

- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 month ago:
Well, it was $75 CDN when i bought in 2012, it’s $150-170 CDN now, and going up to $249 USD which converts to $358 CDN, so I’m assumong they’ll round down to $350 or up to $360 CDN.
The conversion from USD to CDN kills it for us sadly. It’s just such a huge jump this time. More than double on this bump.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 month ago:
If you have plex pass lifetime already, your family can still streams fully from your server. Nothing changes here.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 month ago:
Yea, no change for lifetime pass holders. Anyone connecting in remotely can still stream like normal.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 1 month ago:
As a plex pass lifetime user, this doesn’t change anything for me.
I am, however, blown away that the price went from $75 CDN to $350 CDN over the last 10 years!! That’s just insane!

There’s a bunch of places in the US that has 10 Gbps speed, so this jump to 50 Gbps is not too shocking. Writing it as 50,000 Mbps to make it seem huge is an interesting take.
