Unfortunately what you are most comfortable could also cause repetitive stress injury like carpal tunnel. I have a brother in law who damaged his nerves because a Macplus keyboard felt best to him.

then it’s a TON more equipment,

Then why isn’t it sent to Ukraine?

plus a TON more troops.

Ukraine has said they need supplies, not troops.

That doesn’t make any logical sense. You say it’s a financial strain to send equipment and propose sending NATO in to help. Where is NATO getting their equipment from?

ITS THE SAME EQUIPMENT.

We don’t need republican votes if we give Dem voters what they want to vote for.

The elector college is based on States, not population.

“Law enforcement officers typically have fairly broad leeway to place someone in handcuffs during an interaction if they believe that it’s necessary to protect themselves from harm. In those cases, they can do so even if the person being handcuffed hasn’t been arrested.”

“When a search warrant is being executed”

Handcuffs do not mean an arrest.

I’m attempting to be realistic in a thread filled with young kids who aren’t well educated on modern war.

Modern war isn’t WW2 armor thrusts where you take the capital and the war is over.

NATO needs to supply Ukraine so they win. Then you can start talking about how NATO could defeat Russia in 3 days. Show that we can win first.

Some people take tabs vs spaces too seriously.

Was he arrested? I don’t see follow up. It only says he was handcuffed which would be standard until they know what’s going on.

Do you actually use their “recommended” view?

Do you primarily watch Plex live TV or their other ad supported movies?

I don’t know anything about Moscow other than what I read. As to speaking about Moscow with resentment, that’s exactly how all of the rural US talks about DC.

Other than a nuclear strike, all politicians would have plenty of time to evacuate. Modern communications makes their physical location irrelevant.

Have you helped an older relative with computer problems over the phone?

If you could set the default, it wouldn’t be a problem.

They never left the Urals

Edit for the downvoters: I did more googling.

Here’s more

One in the list is near Moscow.

If you want to downvote, show your list of weapon factories in Moscow.

No, it’s in the Urals

My biggest complaint is that it defaults to “recommended” instead of “library” which means for new users (family members you are trying to help remotely) don’t see the videos in your collection but instead a random unordered list to scroll sideways.

After you select library to see everything, it doesn’t save that view as default unless you go into settings and change it to remember changes.

A new annoying feature they added is when setting up a new account, the default is to send every video you watch to all friends/family unless you select disable. So you can’t even setup quickly by putting in a user/password and being ready to go. You have to talk family members through setup or everyone with access to your Plex will get email spammed with everything that person watched.

I have home videos on my server and this means lengthy phone calls to family so they can actually see the videos.

Yes, you take Moscow in 3 days like Kabul, then what? It has no military value.

How many will then die over the decades to road side bombs?

I hate jingoistic bullshit. 3days? How many years were we in Afghanistan?

Ukraine troops are battle hardened and have NATO tanks and weapons. They are holding on but territory changes are tiny. Modern war isn’t WW2 blitzkrieg.

Occupying Moscow is like occupying DC. The politicians will fly to safety and you are left occupying a city of low level administrative personnel and restaurants. Nothing of military value is manufactured in Moscow just like DC.

Plex will do anything other than make their player easy to use.

Why do you call it thirst trap?

its choosing software components based on known security vulns

You don’t swap GUI’s on 1,000 corporate users every time a new exploit comes out. You don’t know which Window Manager or DE is more secure.

Besides the Window manager is rarely relevant to exploits the same as in Windows. DirtyCow, CVE-2024-1086, SSH, this entire list https://www.cvedetails.com/product/47/Linux-Linux-Kernel.html?vendor_id=33 didn’t care which Window Manager you ran.

virtually no “average” linux user, then or now, ran/runs as root.

That’s because Linux users already know about computers. In 2003, at the time of XP Linux distro did not disable root. Root was the default during install. You then had to create your own non privileged accounts. In some distros that meant using useradd.

because of deep, baked-in design choices made by microsoft for windows XP

The exact design choices of Linux at the time.

You have a double standard.
