  It very well could be an expensive gimmick, their last Zima boards certainly were. As for the selling of your information, thank you for the warning.

  External PCIe seems to be their selling point. Also, why not welcome competitive form factors and options? That is, of course, if it’s competitive. No pricing in this article, but if I had to imagine they’re probably going to retail near $300, but I don’t think they’ll be competitive with sub $150 n150 machines at that price point.

  It looks like as long as the host has a Plex pass, this doesn’t change much. It is a regression of service, which sucks, but there are viable alternatives for those unable or unwilling to pay. And honestly, jellyfin is the clear winner in that case and always has been.

  Now, if they start to charge my friends and family for access to my media after I have already paid them for their lifetime subscription, then I’ll grab a pitchfork with the crowd.

  Also, why not run both and be ready? The resources required are minimal if you’re running via docker, just some extra RAM and a negligible amount of compute for overhead on library maintenance tasks.

  You’re not wrong, but having a specific score of upcoming problematic content feels like a new low.

  A social credit score, if you will. Government is gonna love purchasing this on the cheap. Hell, maybe they already have.

  Businesses who deal with relatively large sums of consumer dollars should be very aware that people have limits, and that high dollar sums put them much closer to said limits. Everyone should always strive to treat each other ethically, just because it’s the right thing to do

  Everyone else is right. Try to line something new up first. But I was once in the position of quitting without something lined up, and the decider for me was that if I didn’t quit, I was likely to actually take my own life. It’s a matter of perspective at that point, and clearly, surviving was the better option.

  I kind of did the opposite. I assumed the change would be negligible or in the customer’s benefit based on Valve’s track record. I hope this never changes.
