Clearly AI - in reality, it would require 100s of pounds of force to remove a finger like this.

It really depends. I’d suspect if it cannot play a video, then it wouldn’t be able to serve it either. People are doing a lot more than this on Raspberry Pis.

For me, the best place to start was with services that replace cloud products. Setting up Immich for photo storage, Jellyfin for movies and shows, or navidrome for music.

Not at all. At least three or four people have said that PLEX has better features, but no one so far has said what features make it worth using or what makes it better. I found that Jellyfin was one of the easiest things to set up once I started my home server. I don’t have any background in tech or IT, I’m just a hobyist.

I went with Jellyfin when I was setting it up because it seemed easier and had a more active support community, but from looking at the two, they seemed basically interchangeable. I’ve never had a reason to look for something else, since Jellyfin works better than most of the corporate apps on my TV. It loads faster, has less lag, and is easier to navigate than Netflix, Disney, Prime, etc. My zero-tech family find it easy enough to use daily.

When I found out Plex charged, I thought that they were actually managing your remote storage or something. What is the market for people who want to pay to access their own files on their own hardware? I genuinely don’t get it. If you want to share it, out of your home network there is always Tailscale or the like.

I don’t get who this product is for in a universe where Jellyfin exists.

Are you in a single party consent location for audio recording?

I don’t want to undersell the design or technical achievements of the films. They are truly beautiful and it’s clear where the budget went. Other than being pretty to look at and inspiring a Disney Park, what is the cultural impact?

For contrast, Kevin Smith made a movie for the cost of a car that people still quote 30 years later.

I was thinking about this the other day - I saw the movie and I know what a Navi is, but I can’t recall a single memorable quote or name a character. There is no memorable SNL sketch except the one masking fun of the Papyrus font. There is no fandom, there is nothing

Not a lot you can do with phones unfortunately. You could set them up as basic fileservers using CopyParty or Syncthing. Don’t use it for anything critical - these are not backup solutions.

Set up Tailscale to access it outside your network.

I’ve been told that government auctions canbe a good source for cheap used PCs but I never had much luck there. I suspect that they get snatched up quickly and stripped for parts. Try eBay or Mercari?

We should ask Claude how to solve this. /s

Sounds more like Fahrenheit 451

Apparently after this he also hit some locals on their fists with his face. I hope the seal and their fists are okay.

For example

I’m not a scientist so I don’t claim to understand it or explain it.

I follow more than I have time to listen to. Here are a few:

In reality the fashion trend will probably swing the other way. More high profile people will be wearing thicker frame glasses, so people will generally begin to perceive them as more elegant and attractive.

Oh, yeah. This is a good point. A lot of things require their own apps to do now and quick installation is not always easy. I’ve had issues that were solvable but required some effort like this. Some friends invited me to a scavenger hunt and it took a while to get the app working (another friend on iOS couldn’t get it working either, so probably not a great design). Every parking lot wants a different app these days, which can be a pain.

Event ticketing, work apps, etc may take a little longer than normal to find, install, and get working. Not like you can explain in a group setting, “ackshully, my phone isn’t working because its BETTER.”

I’ve just set it up about a month ago. Some apps work fully and some only halfway. I think it has to do with some kind of authentication that Android is doing. So CoMaps only works for turn by turn, but they have said if it is installed from the Play Store, then it will work fully. Sandboxed Google Maps works seamlessly.

Audio apps play in the mini player, including basic controls (play/pause, skip, etc.), but I get a crash anytime I try to launch one on the car’s fullscreen console.

As I said, I’ve just set it up and haven’t tinkered with it yet; it could be user error still.

My banking apps mostly work, but with some functionally problems. I can’t get Zelle to work or CashApp, so quick payments and transfers are problematic.

Yeah… totally normal that a new technology has to be shoehorned into the workforce. I’m sure they only need to enforce its adoption because it is so useful.

Yes, although quantum effects also slow spinning celestial objects/systems, even in the absence of measurable tidal effects. That would take much, much longer to slow down.
