I live in Appalachia and people here regularly use ham for weather reports but that's about it. If there was an actual emergency I assume that would be sent out as well.

Pretty sure it's an

Yeah, we have a barred owl living nearby that would absolutely love that box. She looks to be about the size of a large cat.

This.

As a holder of multiple CompTIA certificates I wholeheartedly agree that they're useless. Unfortunately they're by far the most common means of contractors (the actual people, not the companies) checking off the boxes to qualify for U.S. government IT contracts; which means they're still relevant.

I'm curious to see how CompTIA responds to this. They already don't allow you to take their exams in a VM or any kind of Linux. Presumably for the same "concerns" that the anti-cheat industry has.

Hey, it could be stolen.

What kinda milk we talkin about here? 1% is basically just water that someone bottled next door to a dairy farm.

MacOS stopped supporting 32-bit with Catalina and, according to appleinsider.com, older games won't work on Catalina at all.

Wouldn't the alternative be losing a LOT of old games on Steam?

You all don't seem to understand, this is just the cost of progress!

On my Sony Bravia running Android you can just disable the Samba app from running same as you'd disable any app in Android.

Sorry lol it's a quote from a cartoon called Archer.

Seriously. I hate when people assume default settings are the only option. You don't even need a Plex account to set up Plex. It will just be less seamless and user friendly. Never adopt the server, configure these via localhost (ssh tunnel works) and then set up your networking. Don't even need to update it, it will run for as long as the database stays stable. Which should be years or more.

Just curious, do you know how many trees were MOLESTED to create that air you're breathing?

Voyager's "variable geometry pylons" were designed to allow greater than warp 5 travel without the damage to subspace. It's also entirely possible that Starfleet adapted the borg technology from the Delta Flyer to increase the travel speed of shuttles. The warp scale is logarithmic so even a fraction of a point increase can shave significant portions of time off a trip.

For sure the quality will be worse than software but typically if I'm away from home I'm watching on an ipad and then you really can't tell the difference.

Thank goodness, now I can defend my home against tyranny and people who look different than me with a pseudo-machine gun, just the way the Founding Fathers intended! (/s just in case)

EDIT: I meant QSV Gen 7, which would be intel Gen 11. Kaby Lake and up can still handle HEVC in hardware but they have to use software as well for 4K.

worth mentioning that any intel cpu with an iGPU from generation 7 (kaby lake) and up can handle 4k hevc transcode in hardware. i just upgraded my plex box to an i7 8700K and it works quite well. an old office workstation with like a 9th or 11th gen intel cpu would probably rip through transcodes.
