I appreciate the effort but the ad-block server does not work for YouTube on smart TVs. For all other applications (pc, android) I already have ad-block or ReVanced that stops ads.
With that, it just doesn't give enough value to dedicate a PC to run Linux for media server. I have Emby running dlna server on my gaming PC, that i can wake up from my phone whenever I need to stream something on my 70" TV in living room.
Tipping had devolved from customers saying "I'll give something extra for extra service" to restaurants saying "since you pay for the food, why don't you pay for the staff too?"
Only real way to get rid of this culture is to ban it to start. Workers need to demand living wages at the same time as ban comes into effect.
Just imagine how easy things would have been if these 3000$+ computers had the necessary ports built into them.
3 usb type-c and two type-A ports, hdmi out, sd card reader should be bare minimum. A 3.5mm headset jack and collapsible rj45 or very least rj45 to usb adapter should also be included on machines intended for professional use.
Edit: for those complaining about having to disconnect multiple cables, sure you can buy a hub or dock if you want ease of use. But that would still be possible on a machine with its own ports. You don't have to have a working dock to actually use the machine.
Meme aside, there is no justification for doing that. Even if I saved up my own money, I wouldn't get an extravagant hobby when others at home are starving. It's just asking for trouble.
A $1999 pc, sure. But not $2000! That's just too much.
