Valve has entered the chat and has summoned Proton (Linux compatibility layer) FEX (ARM architecture compatibility layer), and a Steam Machine. A future with these 4 could look a lot different than what we have now, though it would certainly take some time.
That may be a dated opinion, I’ve been in NH since 2014 and it’s always felt like a nice place to me. Sure, Vermont is cooler, but we’ve got like 23 miles of sweet ocean coastline!
Most of the assholes here seem to arrive in 7 row SUVs from Massachusetts. Also Dodge RAMs.
I feel you on the UI changes, I’ve definitely noticed the extra clicks, and there is also a bit of a weird pattern when navigating between the main content area and the top bar where the selector wants to go to the left navigation pane.
I still feel fortunate every time I open up Plex that it exists, and I’m sure that their devs hear enough criticism on the internet that I try to leave something positive for them to find. So until the day that Plex operates anything close to the miserable experience that is a Roku in 2026, I’ll keep using it. I maintain perfect metadata and file naming for just that day.
I also switched my tower out for an M4 mini last year. It surprised me how much I fell in love with it and Mac OS. Retro game corps has a great emulation on Mac video, though I also ended up with a Beelink SER9 that I use exclusively for game streaming. I’m sure there is a substantial cost, but I wish more developers would release for Apple silicon. They’re truly excellent machines.
I feel like there are a lot of people who hate on Plex here, but for me it’s really been super solid so I always try to advocate for it. JF wasn’t for me. Buy once/use forever, great capable interface, great apps (downloads work perfectly now), and I never need to fiddle with it. I replace a Synology package every few weeks when they release a new version and it just keeps ticking.
I paid $89 for it on sale, and I’d definitely groan if I had to pay $250 for it today, but I’d still pay it. I’m just glad they’re paying hardworking folks to make the software I’ve used EVERY DAY for years. It’s the buy-once-cry-once model we wished every other software vendor would go back to.
I feel like she’s just slipping a hint to Kamala. I’d probably vote for Michelle though 😂
I feel like I’m trying to rationalize insanity, and I do understand the reason, but why does the burrito company need stock?
When all of the jobs are gone, who will have any money to put in Prime orders?
I really like my Synology DS220+, and DSM 7 has given me 0 issues. Recently I wanted to upgrade to something with 2.5Gbe networking, but most of the models I was considering had this new branded drive restriction. I had seen a few comments that indicated they were considering removing this, though it was unclear if that was an upcoming hardware releases or upcoming software releases.
I’ve heard that it is possible to migrate your existing non-Synology drives to a new NAS with drive restrictions as-is if they are already formatted from the old NAS. If you are looking to go from a two drives to four drives I’m not sure how that would work, and if a drive failed I think you would either need to replace it with Synology hardware or run the workaround script to remove the restriction.
I won’t personally run the workaround script myself, for a few reasons. I am extremely cautious with my data, and I also don’t want to reward them right now, but im not in a rush to upgrade. I’ll wait them out until they backtrack.
It would just escalate things. A few armed confrontations one week and the next week it would be tanks and Apache helicopters. Cops love to escalate.
Firefox is doing amazing right now. My uBlock origin on desktop and mobile Android is still working months after it stopped working in Chrome.
We just battled HB1703 for mandatory bike registration for all bikes in New Hampshire. They wanted $50/yr PER BIKE with a $100 fine for not having a registration. It had something like 30 in support, 14,000 in opposition.
