I rolled back. It was fairly easy and now the downloads work again.

A lot of the angst about the server requirements for Plex pass really have to stretch the truth to become a victim. It only affects you if you were using it for free, in which case 🤷, it was free, it’s hard to feel bad about it.

The only thing I’m disappointed in is the free mobile streaming comes at the same time they released the new broken app. When they get around to fixing the app I’ll be able to tell my friends they can now use the app. The server owner paying once is much better than every person paying for the app.

It’s inappropriate because you’re not allowed to review your own companies software, let alone do so without declaring as such.

If he was forthcoming in his review, it would have been to obvious that it’s a breach of the ToS. Workers are not permitted to review apps made by their own company.

This is 100% a shady review.

“leave me to do my dark bidding in peace”.
“Oh, what are you bidding on?”.
“A table”

There are actually a lot of newer excel features that are not cross compatible.

I was running 2010, then 2013 for a very long time. Eventually I started running into compatibility issues when collaborating on professional and hobby projects until it got to a point where I went for 365. It’s a shame that it’s subscription, but it’s definitely great software

I think by the time we reach some future extreme of data density, it will be in a method of storage beyond our current understanding. It will be measured in coordinates or atoms or fractions of a dimension that we nullify.

If you fire a weapon in space, someone is going to have a bad day. It just might be thousands or millions of years in the future, light-years away.

Lucas famously make things up as he went, and retconned many things along the way.

Originally Luke’s sister was a yet to be introduced character, not Leia. The film titled “Star Wars” was retroactively changed to become Episode 4. Han Solo was frozen at the end of one of the films because he wasn’t sure if Harrison Ford would be back. They even changed the voice of Vader in post production, and the original actor found out when he watched the premiere. If you watch the prequels and original trilogy back to back there are glaring potholes. You can’t even officially get the original versions of the movies because Lucas doesn’t want them to be available.

Was that a ccna certification? I’ve heard they are quite strict on home exam conditions

They are providing extra service. Using Plex on mobile is now free for everyone, which is a huge step forward. It’s not a bad trade off for server owners to require Plex pass for remote viewing (which is only necessary if you’re not using a VPN like tailscale for free remote viewing).

I don’t get why people are freaking out over a one off fee to unlock something that has running costs for Plex, which itself isn’t necessary if you just opt for a free VPN client like tailscale.

OP couldn’t comprehend an email, and when everyone tried to reassure them that nothing for them has changed they doubled down. The closest thing to justification I can figure is “all my clients are borderline illiterate as well and it upset them”.

How in the world could you be upset that a product you already paid for is not providing that specific feature for free anymore. They’ve even made the phone software free!

How many people with a folder full of media also know how to safety expose a home server to the internet? It would be less than 1%.

Meanwhile, you don’t need network engineer levels of knowledge to run Plex for remote access. You download the software, choose the folder, and send your friends a share link.

I’d convert to induction straight away if it were easy and cheap, but you need to have an electrician run a separate mains voltage cable to the cooktop. Having single brick walls inside basically means you wait until you’re ready to remodel the whole kitchen.

Why isn’t it an exit? There could be a ladder or a tunnel or a portal.

Isn’t it amazing how birds reverse engineered airplanes?

“stop depicting blobfish like this, and blobfish isn’t what it’s called”

That specific one, as depicted, is blobfish. Blobfish is not a species, it’s an individual. Like Greenboots.

What’s the ffxiv reference here?

Anubis is from Egyptian mythology.

The ideas have always been there, it’s just a bottle neck on cheap electronics and people figuring out the foundation technology. I can’t think of to many tech advancements that have surprised me; that’s not too say they aren’t impressive, but just about anything we can imagine is possible.

The main thing I don’t expect to see is useful and reliable brain/electronics interfaces. I think biology is too unique for an of the shelf product to be possible, which means it’s too hard to make a profitable product.

The Australian government is heavily criticised for half-assing fibre internet because they did copper to the house in most cases. We still, a decade later, have one of the worst internet in the western world.

I think satellites are likely much cheaper to deliver internet to a whole continent than trying to run bloody copper.
