I see nothing wrong with that. It predates steam and they aren’t attempting to extort large sums of money from anyone.

I was more talking about the costs of the legal process itself.

Squatters do this shit every day to regular people and small businesses, but they don’t have the money to convince a judge to hand over a domain.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 6 days ago:
No, there’s not centralized host server to connect your users with your server. They need a fixed IP or URL to access your server from outside your network.

Why are any headlines being written about Xitter that aren’t about its bankruptcy.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 1 week ago:
Yes-ish, it’s harder for you than the users. But you will have to secure a URL and they will have to remember that URL. Also there’s some security issues with some unsecured endpoints on Jellyfin. That said I have mine out there exposed to the net and am comfortable enough with it.

Lol, a pair of 8GB (16 total) sticks went from $150 already over priced to $180 in two days. So unless you’re buying pre-built it’s going to be way more than 5%.
I bought two NVME SSDs earlier this year, now it costs as much for one as I paid for two of them.
Fuck this, build state owned foundries and sell capacity cheap whenever this shit happens.

More chemo is not necessarily good. Chemo is like poison and you hope it kills more cancer than normal cells, that is not always the case. Not a great example for your argument.

- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
It has several unsecured endpoints.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
Jellyfin is notoriously full of security holes. It’s recommended to no expose it to the Internet. It’s also easy easier on Plex, at least until this bullshit, to have a random non-techie family member sign in to your Plex server from anywhere. I never liked Plex and never got into it, but I see why people used to prefer it.
I think Emby is a good middle ground for people looking to jump ship from Plex. But I switched to jellyfin from my lifetime Emby sub because the plug-in community there feels dead and Emby development felt dead in the water.

Switch to Linux, double your available RAM for free.

Guess what, GPU prices are about to go back up because they rely on RAM.

Lol, guess who just made themselves a target. They are now profiting directly on people who stream content they don’t own from other people’s servers. Plex is going to go down when Hollywood sues them.
- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 2 weeks ago:
I want to qualify this comment with the fact that I am not a super gamer. Most my games are older. The newest and most demanding game I play is Cyberpunk 2077. Most my other games are multiple years older and less demanding.
I finally switched full time to a Linux desktop OS. I have used Linux more or less daily for decades, the first distro I ever installed was Slackware what feels forever ago. But until Valve put the work into running games on linux for their Steam deck I felt I was trapped needing to have Windows to play games. I have even spent the last decade forcing myself to rely more and more on cross platform available FOSS dreaming of some day making a permanent switch. Honestly it was so easy for me to switch at this point, most games pretty much just ran. My biggest problem took a bit to grok and it was just because some games do not like running in proton from an NTFS partition. I have NVME and SATA SSDs separate from my boot drive that I used to install games on and it was trivial to reformat the NVME drive to a more Linux friendly filesystem and I have not had an issue since. Eventually I’ll do the SATA drive but I’m lazy and those games are working fine so far. You will absolutely have problems with some games, especially some that have overbearing anti-cheat systems, but man this has been so easy I couldn’t really have imagined. The only non-gaming problem was a document scanner we own that is not supported by SANE. I could not find a solution to run it on Linux so I just spun up a Tiny 11 copy of Windows in a VM and passed it through. We only use it a couple times a year so this is an acceptable compromise to me. The VM doesn’t have Internet access, it just sees a local drive as a network share. All it can do is scan something and save it to the shared drive so I can access it in Linux.
I chose Linux Mint because I am well versed with Debian and Ubuntu. But I suggest anyone new to Linux give Bazzite a shot. It’s designed to be a lot harder for you to break. It’s also more optimized for gaming if that’s your focus. For me gaming is a requirement but I’ve never felt the need for top tier performance.
The path from 3.1 to 11 has been such a sour one and the last thing I am willing to put up with is being the product in the eyes of my desktop OS. My computer is mine and it will do why I want it to do or it will do nothing at all.

How much current does that thin ribbon cable carry? Battery connectors need to be more robust.
