The grocery store closest to me now has cameras on each self checkout register that are labeled as AI theft protection. In practice what that means is if you hover an item over the bagging area, even for a second, before scanning it it stops you and then plays the video of you “stealing” until the bored teenager making minimum wage comes over and just presses “continue” because they don’t give a shit and the line for the registers is like 10 people long.

It’s that long because despite having like 20 registers designed to be staffed by actual people they rarely open more than one because they fired most employees years ago. So now self checkout is basically the only option, even for people buying a months worth of groceries for a family of 8

I hate the future

In this photo it’s simply saying if you need 12v on the right dont use this power supply because it’ll go into the 5v side of whatever you’re powering. Keep in mind these are just standard din connectors. They’re not tied to a standard pinout and are used for all kinds of things

WRT your op it’s about current capacity of the connector. If I have a device that needs 12v at 8 amps but each pin is rated for max 5a I can deliver 12v at 4-5 amps through two pins and tie them both to the power rail on the pcb to get a full 8a capacity

Person you responded to said av1, I didn’t mean to imply you did. HEVC is good balance and quicksync will handle it as you’ve said. 10th gen stuff will handle 4-5 at the expense of more power (but less than like a typical gpu build).

Last statement you made is critical - usage dictates build

Just as long as you’re fine with your media server absolutely eating power all the time

Stop encoding in av1 and get a low power older intel chip around 10th gen or so with quick sync. Unless you have like 5+ users watching 4k media at the same time this will handle transcoding absolutely fine while using far less power than a dedicated gpu

For now. Their most recent round of venture capital was 40 million and that was like the 7th one. Those investors are gonna be demanding returns if they haven’t already and they will eventually push to monetize as much as possible

If plex works for you now then sure, don’t fix what isn’t broken. Jellyfin isn’t going anywhere and is just getting better, if anything holding off on migrating just increases the chances that migrating will be smoother. But guarantee you that in a certain amount of time plex will fuck over their customers
