The extent of the setup for Plex is to log in with your email and password, pick which shared libraries you want to be pinned to your home screen, and then browse. My parents in their 70s were able to figure it out and all I had to do from my end was grant them access to the libraries I wanted to share with a simple check box.

This.

Securely sharing is simpler on Plex. I can invite anyone with just an email and they have near instant access to an HTTPS encrypted service. I don’t have to deal with setting up a VPN, reverse proxy or ACLs (in the case of something like Tailscale).

lmfao the cops charged him for not having a valid boat registration or life vests. amazing.

Because if I’m watching locally I dont need them, and if I’m watching remotely Plex already offers secure remote viewing 'out of the box`. They give every user an SSL certificate and a public accessible URL at app.plex.tv. They also handle secure user authentication. The new price is stupid, but Jellyfin is not a 1:1 replacement.

A gentle reminder that Jellyin more or less requires you to set up a reverse proxy and a secure VPN to use it outside of your home.

There is no amount of traffic that would make me consider getting in a robot-controlled 140 mph bus lmao.

Right. By their argument it seems like China can get fucked because what are they gonna do, kidnap him and bring him to China to face charges?

Right, and this is just waking to run updates or whatever. Imagine what running a local LLM in the same conditions might do.

best case scenario you spew a bunch of toxic shit into the already stressed atmosphere.

kek. okay tell that to all the electric vehicle owners who’ve burned to death in random car fires cause by their batteries igniting themselves. also maybe educate yourself a little and read the underwriters lab article I posted.

They do, but It’s sort of like what happens when you take a hot steak off the pan. The extrernal heat source is removed, but the steak has enough internal heat to continue cooking for a bit while it rests. Your laptop might shut down, but the whole thing being in a backpack would act as an insulator and allow it to continue heating.

“Fires on airplanes” is, in general, a BAD THING.

I was thinking more about the batteries. It’s probably not as big of a deal with such small batteries, but lithium ion batts can enter an “uncontrollable, self-heating state” called thermal runaway. https://ul.org/research-updates/what-is-thermal-runaway/

I mean… I’m almost glad they haven’t figured out the power settings. Imagine if they were all running around with the lids closed and the laptops stuffed into a backpack? It would be a fire waiting to happen.

Thank you for the high quality sources. Cleveland Clinic has been recommended to me multiple times by health care providers.

Femmebond is sigma pilled? can someone put an LLM to good use and make me a gen z translator

Far out!

you’re overtly sexual!
