I run both concurrently, but Plex has had a rash of outages recently that led to it and any services relying on it completely useless. It’s insane that an online service outage would cause me to be unable to stream media locally, so yeah Jellyfin has been all but essential, recently.
My reaction as well. Excuse me, what the fuck??
Well it was run by Maxwell.
That’s a great one! Mine was “fuck a duck! Fuck ten ducks, actually.” My friends never let me live that one down.
Genuinely what is the proper response to ‘hey, how’s it going?’ Because that is not normal where I grew up but it’s normal where I live now and I always respond with something like “good, you?” Unless I know the person, which is obviously wrong because half the time I get no response lol HELP
The various answers in this thread are just hilarious.
The stare is real; it’s when they work in a service position but don’t communicate. You walk up to the counter and instead of greeting you or asking how they can help you or saying anything at all they just stare at you. That’s the Gen z stare. It’s that simple and I’ve encountered it everywhere that employs younger people. It doesn’t bother me, you don’t have to do shit for a shit wage, but it does make interactions unnecessarily awkward.
The comment saying that Gen z just doesn’t tolerate stupid is hilarious. What percentage of your generation voted for Trump again?
They would never admit to the play store malware problem.
As far as fun goes, unless you like tinkering it’s just consumerism with extra steps. Don’t buy one for funsies.
But for functional prints and being able to replace small parts and bring your ideas to life, they’re great.
I don’t agree that tech companies need to put up walled gardens to protect people from themselves, but ‘what scams’ is insanely disingenuous. Obviously the scams where people, usually elderly, are walked through the process of enabling third party apps so the scammer, posing as a bank or other trusted institution, can then install malicious apps. If you’ve really never heard of that then I think you need to step outside of your bubble a bit more.
One day wait period to enable installing third party apps. Afterwards no extra wait time or verification.
Headline is a little misleading. There is a one day waiting period when you enable installing third party applications. After that you can install them indefinitely. It’s to stop active scams. I agree it’s BS, but it’s a lot less BS than I was expecting and what the headline/comments are making it out to be.
I feel like allowing users to access dev mode played a large part in this as well. Without the option surely it would have been cracked sooner.
Which is a great lesson in and of itself for tech companies willing to listen.
I thought it was only the release version of the console that was vulnerable. Was there a breakthrough in the last two days?
This is a fun rabbithole I dove down once. As a native Floridian my mind was fully blown by Florida having been a Spanish colony for 250 (1513-1763) years*, longer than it’s been a US state (1845-2027).
Both displaced natives and slaves obtained freedom in Florida… until Spain ceded the land to Britain, which I’m sure was a dark day for many.
They are slaves to trends and haven’t thought about it even a little bit?
Greatest excuse of all time.
I believe that’s the plan for the future, too. Conglomo A owns all the RAM, but we can rent access.
Oh, I generally couldn’t agree more. In this specific case it was actually their authentication service that was down, but it meant if you use multiple accounts with Plex or have a pin on your singular account that you were essentially locked out. But I agree it’s a bad look to have remote dependencies at all.
