- Comment on If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this 1 day ago:
I had one of those Nokia candybar phones back in the late 90s early 2000s. nothing was more therapeutic than just chucking the phone across the parking lot at mach 1. walking over to the pieces, assembling it, and going on with your day.
- Comment on Console war, console war never changes 1 day ago:
I was exactly like you. my last console was the original Xbox.
I got a retroid pocket 5 and have done more gaming on that in 3 months than I did in the last 10 years.
highly recommend it for the casual gamer.

don’t sweat it. you’re both adults with life experience that is both greater than and equal to.
enjoy the date and be sure to be respectful and treat them as an equal. you can figure out who they are along the way 😉

- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 days ago:
sounds like a poorly optimized system tbh. My Plex instance loads within a few seconds. on roku, android, and web.
keep in mind I’m using nginx caching and some advanced configs.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 days ago:
how dare you bring facts to this community! we just want to shit on anything but jellyfin!
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 days ago:
I’ve never seen Plex users argue in support of Plex. only comments along the lines of, “I use it because…”
the jellyfin users are generally the ones getting bent or upset because people still use Plex for their own personal reasons. they then accuse the Plex users of not contributing to jellyfin because they still use Plex. “if only you used jellyfin, xyz feature would be magically finished because you are a part of the community!”
point is, the only people arguing here are jellyfin users. Plex users are gonna Plex.

and this is why my security system will never connect to the Internet.
I’ve had cops ask for my footage before that sneer at me sending them the raw files. “why can’t you just pull up the app?” or my favorite, “you should use ring, then we can just send a request to them for the footage.”
sure, pig. sure. I’ll open my home as a part of your distributed network surveillance botnet. /s

if something so simple can kill an entire industry, that industry should not exist.
- Comment on Just got charged for reading it 1 week ago:
they weren’t just starting and stopping them.
they were requesting all 300+ to be decommissioned and then a new ticket to recommission new ones.
I mean, what IT company doesn’t have their problems? at least the people I worked with didn’t have your attitude, so that made it an enriching experience.

other than drop all support when “big ma bell” enters the chat with a corporate competitor and you have aging infrastructure built into your home.
it’ll be like those crappy intercom wall units from the 1970s all over again, except you won’t be able to turn on your lights or plugs.
- Comment on Just got charged for reading it 1 week ago:
it doesn’t make sense because it was never supposed to.
they wanted out of the contract and didn’t want to pay the fees. The contract was large enough that we couldn’t really take the hit to MRR and wouldn’t let them out without the fees. so, they were dicks about it and threatened the CEO with legal action, which is why we forced them into fulfilling the contract to term. they could have left at any time, had they been willing to pay the fees.
as for the VMs. they were remote consoles used in some financial business. I think they had a VPN from each of their locations that used thin-clients to connect to the VMs somehow. it didn’t matter if their user data was gone since they were all based on a single image that had all the software/configs built-in.
they paid per machine and storage volume. as long as they didn’t go over their contracted amount or under a threshold then they were in compliance with the contract. it was a mutually beneficial contract in the sense that they needed HA high volume VMs with low storage requirements at a fixed price. we offered that to them with volumetric licensing for Microsoft software at a competitive price. think of them like virtual workspaces.
- Comment on Just got charged for reading it 1 week ago:
I would be the shithead that would rotate from room to room daily just to fuck their billing up.
company I worked for had a customer that did this with virtual machines. every single week they would request their VMs from last week to be decommissioned and new ones to be built in their place. not bad if there’s only five or six. they had this done to over 300 VMs. we accepted for two years, the length of the contract and then promptly dropped them, hard.
the collective backlash caused the company to go bankrupt. they attempted to sue but our lawyers had already created enough documentation to prove we had successfully executed the contract the best of our abilities and had decided to not renew based on high operational costs attributed to the high maintenance requirement of their account and recommended they seek help from a larger competitive service.
the chaos they put operations through was horrible but was only part of the hell they unleashed. we had to dedicate a billing representative to their account because they contested every-single-fucking-bill. these calls would drag on for weeks before ending with them agreeing to pay what we were charging them, just before starting up for the next billing cycle.
point is, just because you’re locked in contract doesn’t mean they’re in control.
