Hi I'm Tim.

I'm AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.

  • What are some consumer electronics you probably shouldn't tinker with?

  • Current smoke detectors still do, and usually have some warning on them stating such.

  • Plex is overhauling its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood upgrades

    Jump

  • Ah, "standards", you got to love them. I was also thinking in terms of using Chromecasting" and not the use of the physical Chromecast device. Thanks for the follow up.

  • You made some outlandish claims and then refused to back them up. Either you're talking out of your ass or you're a bot, which is it?

  • I have a Lifetime license to Plex, so I have used it, and oddly they do not have your exact requirements listed on the site that I can find. Can you link me, as Google is coming up blank also.

  • The Android version at least has Chromecast support, not sure on other platforms.

  • So the server part runs worse from your NAS? That seems odd but I have never run either from a NAS so no idea how to help. =(

  • New York judge adjourns President-elect Donald Trump's sentencing date in hush money case

    Jump

  • Nothing has been decided yet, the prosecution has asked that the case be frozen until the end of Trump's term, and so he has given Trump's team their legal right to submit a motion for dismissal. He is likely to take to pausing the trial as the prosecution has asked for. And I do believe if Trump had lost we would have gotten a sentence, but him winning makes him "quasi" immune until the end of his term.

  • What features specifically?

  • Not asking this to be combative, but as Jellyfin convert I'm curious what quality/features you are missing? Also what platform are you using mainly?

    I watch mostly using the Android app or Nvidia Shield, and the client does everything Plex did (in terms of just media watching - no DVR or other features ) without all the bloat the current Plex client brings.

  • What type of device is the Xbox or PS5 hooked up to? If a TV ("smart TV") then there is a client for both Roku and Android TV. If they are using a monitor, could they use the web client? Or could they use the web client on either console (I never had an Xbox, and only PS was PS1 so I honestly have no idea)?

    I've only used the Android/Android TV/web client versions from the Jellyfin team, but all seemed solid these days. On Linux I've also used a number of 3rd party clients, and there are plenty of 3rd party clients for most non-console platforms.

  • Subject Matter Expert

    Jump

  • I noticed this myself as a teenager, with of all things, the popularity of Jeff Foxworthy and his whole "redneck" shtick. He glorified idiocracy and people reveled in being uneducated and just ignorant of everything. They would proudly wear shirts (or other merch) proclaiming it.

    And I know it's not the thing that turned the US towards anti-intellectualism, but it's a time that sticks out to me still as something I can look back at as a visible manifestation of that shift.

  • Ah, the small government free speech party once again putting their hypocrisy on full display. I wish more people watched their actions instead of just listening to the lies they say and are repeated through their propaganda network.

  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tapped to work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as new DOGE subcommittee chair

    Jump

  • Is this a position she needs to resign from the House to do, because that would be awful! /s

  • Trump Education Department nominee resigned from education board after falsely claiming she had a degree in education

    Jump

  • Sorry! Privatizing education (because it's $$$) has been on the GOP bucket list for years. It's why they constantly bash teachers and their unions. It's why we have trans rights as a social issue in schools first. It's why they could care less about gun violence in schools. It's why they are constantly trying to cut funding, putting conspiracy theorists on school boards, and banning books. And on and on.

    It's all about undercutting the public's perception of public education, so when they try and do a hard steer to private schools people think "it can't be any worse". And they run it like Trump University and laugh all the way to the bank, and it'll take decades to reverse (if ever).

  • Trump's threats of mass deportations lead to hard discussions for families

    Jump

  • Agreed, but an awful lot of white males that in the past might have been pro union (that didn't vote in their oppressors) are now full on MAGA while the GOP robs them blind.

  • Have a coke and a smile

    Jump

  • Yes same base, but seen and used by different populations was my point. Rich bros aren't sitting around hitting a crack pipe, they are doing a line off some exploited woman in their orbit (or apparently like Jr just out of the old pocket). And yes the CIA have used drugs as a currency once they realized they could make both illegal for poors and at the same time flood neighborhoods with it. Believe Bush Sr. was into this amongst other "covert" operations.

  • Trump Education Department nominee resigned from education board after falsely claiming she had a degree in education

    Jump

  • Because it's not about being qualified, it's about-

    1. being loyal
    2. breaking the system so that the GOP can continue their "the government doesn't work" talking points, and move everything to being privatized and controlled by donors ($$$)

  • Have a coke and a smile

    Jump

  • Coke is not crack, seems like semantics, but the Rich do not see them the same. It wasn't a war on drugs to stop cocaine pouring into the US being used by white communities, it was to stop crack being used by poorer people of color. If drugs had stayed expensive and exclusive to white folks Regain wouldn't have felt as strongly for sure.

    The same thing with unemployment/social security being a great thing when white people had it to protect their "hard work", but when people of color got to use the same system it turned into "welfare queens" based on a the story of a single black woman that abused the system.

  • Trump's threats of mass deportations lead to hard discussions for families

    Jump

  • We as a country have definitely lost our "the man is trying to keep me down" mentality and have bought into this "we want to welcome you to the club" bullshit the Right has been pushing for years. They dangle an enormous carrot in front of the working class, and then give it to their rich friends and blame it on the Left.

    And this idea of deporting immigrants is the same thing, "lets get these people out so we can pay our private contractor friends Billions and blame it on the Left" (and hoping it hurts future Left voters). If you dig though, it's these same shitheads exploiting them (immigrants ) as a labor force doing jobs they have no plan to pay a decent wage for. Trump was famous for doing this in the construction of several of his properties, underpay of don't pay and then threaten them with ICE or lawsuits if they don't go away.
