Even shitty CRTs are actually selling for some money these days. It’s insane to me.

But yeah, unless the furniture is solid wood you’re not getting much for it. And what you could get wasn’t worth your time.

There’s not going to be a decoder ring with these machines because those companies shit out so many awful machines that nobody cared about in the first place. You’ll get nice decoding for MacBooks since there’s only ever been like 4 of them, and there’s a diehard and big user base. Same for thinkpads, albeit there’s only like 4 models people actually care about.

But nobody gives a shit about MSIs 900th new model for the year. It was a bad laptop when it was new. Even msi probably didn’t care.

Unfortunately nobody ever put AMDs APUs into actually good laptops, they only ever went into sludge like that destroyer.

“Explosive strength” is probably not the term you want to use when talking about batteries.

If it’s ABS (which most thugs are) try methyl ethyl ketone to melt it back together.

Just a dab of MEK will melt the plastic, but it evaporates/dissolves quickly. Once you apply it press the pies together firmly for a few minutes, then let it cure for a while after that. The bond should be as strong as it was from the factor. Then if you want apply some JB weld for extra strength.

It’s a one time event. It’s either perpetually offline, or it costs a ton of money to rebuilding. Increasing the cost to operate. Once operations costs are too much then it’s just not feasible to continue with this.

That doesn’t mean you’re forced to use faceid. You can use just a pin/passcode. There’s no secondary unlock options. But you’re not forced to use faceid.

Nope. Gotta slide afterwards to make the call.

You just press the power button 5 times.

… No it’s not. Where did you get that from?

They renamed the OS a while ago at this point, but the user agent isn’t always updated.

Ex on iPhone the user agent is Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 18_7 like Mac OS X)…

When people talk about “desktop” market share they’re essentially saying “not phones/tablets”

That’s the key. It just works. No extra setup necessary.

And more importantly, I do t have to have my 60 year old mom do some additional setup in her end. Just install the app, and go.

This happens automatically but it does happen

And that’s the key, it happens automatically and it just works. With jellyfin you have to expose the web server to the internet, or point an app to something else exposed on the internet. With plex you don’t. If you don’t want to (or can’t) a direct connection from your server to their servers, then their servers to your device is established. No VPNs, no reverse proxies, no port forwarding, nothing exposed to the rest of the internet.

What I’m praying for is for Jellyfin to add a tailscale like direct peer to peer system. They can skip the backup funneling traffic through their servers. But just have something that coordinates a direct connection with just basic NAT.

How do you communicate with the server outside of your network? You’d still need to expose those ports directly to the internet right? (excluding VPNs/reverse proxy etc)

Inside the network you do, but not for remote access outside the network.

It’s a very sensical statement. I’m not exposing a whole ass website on my own network just for remote viewing. With plex you don’t need to do that.

Also doesn’t jellyfin not support remote streaming?

That’s what I thought, but bazzite didn’t like the switch from Nvidia to AMD either so idk what’s going on with these distros.

I really like my job. Most of the time it’s not super stressful. I basically made my hobby my job. I don’t do it as much as a hobby anymore, but it’s not like I hate it. I just have a lower tolerance for BS.

Wsl is just a VM and it can run graphical apps. I’ve never used it for games, but I’ve ran some intensive simulations through it that used my GPU and it worked fine so probably.
