The click bait is strong with this one.

Thats some good info, I had a sneaking suspicion that the server stuff might suck the juice. Currently trawling marktplace for a new i3 or i5 or someone's older gaming rig I can strip down

My provider uses CGNAT in AUS and I’m on fiber then copper connection. Luckily they just had a option on their account page to turn it off.

Oh I'm already testing plex out on the desktop with a few of the *arr services. It's very neat and satisfying but with power hitting $0.50aud/kW i need to be realistic about what hardware I want to run as investing too heavily early on will take years to pay off.

Still I'm very jealous of what you've got going on.

ahh thats fair, there's never really more than one stream at a time here.

Can I ask why you pay for that speed? I'm on 25/10 and I've never felt it was the 25mb download cap that is holding me back.

Part of me looks at this man as a system God among us puny and unworthy users.

The other part is saying just keep paying for one drive and Netflix. As the saying goes "the first step to powerbill and uptime hell is the simple plex server"

Are you testing my knowledge or are you just ignorant? Almost all companies involved in manufacturing have been making items more disposable or harder to repair for years (see phone, cars, computers, TV's and almost everything else you can buy) to encourage people to buy new and bring the profits back to base.

A farm equipment company can't afford to be known for disposable equipment. Instead, they tried to make it impossible to work on the equipment without special computer equipment, so you'd have to book a technician to do something as simple as an oil change.

Nice. Finally a win for the common fucking sense group.

Not sure where you’re based but in my country you can buy a prepaid Visa cards that work the same as a normal debit card. Just get someone else to buy it for you using cash, use it to buy crypto.

The collateral damage from mining and fossil fuels has already done more damage to the planet than anything else since that meteor dropped in a few million years ago. I’m not worried about some kids getting scared. She knows what that company does, she doesn’t have to work there, she obviously enjoys the rewards that come with the job but now there’s some (incredibly tiny) risk she’s upset.

I guess the moral of the story is don’t do bad stuff and no one will come and protest at your house.

These people are used to being able to hide from the consequences of their actions behind well worded contracts and connections in the federal and state governments. She just found out how unpleasant it is when someone breaks the rules, which you could say large corporations have been doing for decades.

It should cover any app based out of China or really any app that has its servers based offshore. We know literally everyone is trying to spy on everyone else. Why make it possible at all on government devices?

I hope it doesn’t crash too hard. I just bought something on Saturday :/

I just don't see a way that prices can drop without a massive increase in supply. Even if the average joe stops buying they will have to rent somewhere. There will always be investment interest or property moguls who have the money keen to buy a source of guaranteed rental income.

They hated Him because he spoke the Truth.

Can confirm I fell off my bike in my own Street, going about 15kph after a night at the pub. Didn't even notice I'd smashed my helmet until the next day. Glad I had it on.

Did we get value for money?

We never agreed not to bribe anyone. Sometimes that's she only way to get things done in certain areas.

Maybe we’re working under different assumptions but I can’t see how a private company with no regulation would do anything other than continue to try and maximise profits at the cost of everything and everyone around them.

I mean there was true deregulation in the first place. So many things went wrong that they had to start regulating things.

I don’t think the joke is “Ohio is the best state in the US”…

Just fyi, “user friendly” doesn’t always just mean “easy”. The fact that imgur kicks users using tor means it doesn’t respect you’re right to privacy, and thus is not user friendly.
