Weren’t the Borg originally meant to be those worm-parasite things?

Naw. It was originally written for Kirk and Uhura, but when the NBC executives found out they worried it would offend TV stations in the south. The idea of having Uhura and Spock kiss was brought up because Spock is half-vulcan (which NBC thought racists would find less offensive???), but Shatner insisted that they stick the original script. Eventually NBC ordered that two versions of the scene be shot - one with the kiss and one without. Shatner intentionally flubbed every single take of the non-kiss version to force the executives hands. It wasn’t the first interracial kiss on televion, but it was the first instance of a scripted kiss between a white man and a black woman.

The Star Trek universe’s first non-binary character

wow, not even the first crew members or first actors, they tried to claim it for the whole Star Trek universe. unbelievable.

That’s right, the entire species had evolved past having gender. That makes it even sadder/funnier that ST:D tried to claim it.

I don’t play STO anymore but I love that they added the Surak-class. Such a pretty ship!

lmao did they really? didn’t riker bang a non-binary alien (or try to at least)?

Possibly lt broccoli

i’m pretty sure it’s because they tried to make degrassi in space.

I’m not defending him, but let’s be honest with ourselves here. He was born nearly a decade before World War II. It’s amazing that he’s this progressive. Credit where credit is due.

well then i’ll repeat what i said earlier. dang that sucks =(

Oooh, that’s a good angle. The Ferengi definitely get some unique looking ships.

It’s wholly owned and operated by Paramount Skydance. I’m sure they have to “pay” the parent company for tax reasons and stuff but why would that be an issue here? The content rights are all owned by the same company that owns Pluto TV.

dang, that sucks. pluto is owned by Paramount Skydance so i’m not sure why they wouldn’t be able to offer it in canada.

the runabouts are more like space RVs and the quadrant their open road

I really like the pre-Federation Vulkan ships. They’re so elegant looking.

OP already acknowledged in their edit that logging in with a local IP ‘fixed’ the issue.

That’s pretty fucked up. I’d be shootin off some angry emails to customer support. Sorry to hear that!

It means the same specific subnet. If you have multiple subnets (one for wired, one for wireless for example) it will also trigger that limitation unless you go in and manually tell it hey these are local.

lol crap, it’s the new arch!

You can absolutely run plex in a local only mode. You don’t sign it in to an account and then set your subnet/subnets in the local networks section like so.

I bought a plex lifetime pass for $100 over a decade ago and I never see ads like this. I only occasionally get the notice for plex pro week and stuff like that.

You should be able to. I have a wireguard tunnel to my parent’s house and when they watch plex it doesn’t go over the relay server (I can’t port forward on starlink).

Good explanation. I’m out in the boonies with Starlink for internet right now so no port forwarding for me. I paid like $100 for a plex lifetime pass 12 years ago or something so none of my family or friends even notice most of the time. HEVC encoding helps too (you can squeeze 720p through their relay server with it).

They’ve added commercial supported live channels like many other free services but yeah, it’s lacking compared to others. Pluto.tv is my go-to if I want to throw something on at a family members house or something like that. Owned by the networks, reasonably short ads, completely free. Too bad they didn’t figure that out 10 years ago lol.

Having to set up a reverse proxy is basically a non-starter for most people, while I’ve talked extremely non-technical people into running Plex since it just works out of the box.

Plex will do the exact same thing if you have an episode earlier in your history that didnt get marked as “watched”. But plex lets you manually tag episodes as watched which usually fixes it. Maybe there’s a similar option in jellyfin?

Plex is entirely free and completely local, but only if you don’t use the features that make it so convenient (the relay server they offer, authentication and authorization, etc). Things I’m pretty sure jellyfin doesn’t provide at all. If people spent half the time reading as they do trying to convince people to get angry at optional features then maybe we wouldn’t have so many posts like this.

Are you runnin multiple subnets? If so you need to enable them all as local nets in plex or else it’ll trigger this.
