Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works

I really want to use Nutanix but they are the same price as VMware VCF and they don’t support my existing hardware so I’d have to buy all new servers, just to pay the same price.

NPM, Nginx

If I need remote access, I just log into NPM and I have certain URL’s created for Plex, or Sonarr, Radarr etc. No issues so far.

You could be right about the CPU transcode vs. GPU transcode. It was a long time ago when I setup my Plex but I do recall having performance issues with CPU transcoding. Either way it’s a valid point.

I had to use relay only once at a Hotel and it was decent enough but the TV they had was pretty lame so I couldn’t tell how bad Relay was vs. the TV quality. Either way I got to watch what I wanted without commercials.

Never heard of ATV4K but I’ll check it out. Thanks.

They aren’t charging users to cover their costs to stream your data from your server. It’s to help them with their developper costs. Transcoding is something your server does and it’s only unlocked with Plex Pass so if you don’t have that, you can’t use it anyway. I have only 4k movies so if I want to watch them at any resolution smaller than 4k, I need transcoding which was the primary reason I got the pass. They can also proxy your connection in case you have issues connecting directly so they are somewhat using their own resources for that. They offer a great service at a very low price, much lower than Netflix and it’s much better. Everyone that connects to my plex server love the experience so it’s well worth it for me. If it’s not worth it for you, that’s cool. Use something like JF and then deal with a lack of device support and any other issues that come with JF. I hear it’s a also a great service but I also hear there are more issues with JF than Plex so I’m happy with Plex.

Their default Movies and Live Channels are bad, but that’s not why we’re using Plex right?

$120 is to support the platform and it provides the option to download movies/tv shows locally and allows for Transcoding to name but 2 benefits. It’s also got clients for pretty much every device out there.

If you can’t afford $120 for life then that’s too bad. Move to JF.

Crying about a non-issue isn’t exactly going to change anything is it? Plex is an awesome service or you wouldn’t have been using it.

It’s not getting shittier, they’re just asking for you to pay because you haven’t been paying. If anything, the service is improving. I paid once and never have to pay again and I’m saving a ton by not needing to pay for Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Paramount, AppleTV etc. etc.

Bully lol. Such hyperbole.

I don’t agree. They’re only affecting people who haven’t been paying and it’s an excellent service. They’re even giving you a heads up so you’re not caught offgaurd. It’s not even 9 months of Netflix and it’s valid for lifetime. If you can’t afford it, that’s one thing. If that’s the case move to JF and move on. I find Plex is very much worth the cost.

Just buy the lifetime Plex Pass before the price hike and you’re golden.

It’s deceptive because it leaves out the most important part. That is if you aren’t using the free version of Plex (AKA you have the lifetime pass), this doesn’t affect you. It’s a non-issue for anyone smart enough to get lifetime subscription.

My 2024 MSLR is made in Freemont CA but you can be certain the display, CPU and sensors aren’t made in America.

Elon doesn’t own Tesla… Where did you get that from? He has 19% of their shares and is the CEO, nothing more.

I just created an account a couple of months ago after never using it. It’s easy to filter out the dummies.

Also, Broadcom with VMware products. Fuck those pricks.

I read that men have to send over 110 likes before they get a single response whereas women get 50-60 guys a day messaging them and they act really creepy like sending dick pics.

It would be nice if they provided that information but the data isn’t useless without that information. It helps show that there’s a pattern where batteries only lose 10% capacity after being driven a lot.

You can assume that EV’s with higher milage will have been charged far more often than those with less mileage.

Canadian here and yeah, it can get down to -30C and +30C here but remember all batteries are insulated and they run glycol though them to keep them at a constant temperature which negates any external factors like weather. Polestar does their testing in the Artic circle so it’s even colder so if it works well there, it’ll work well anywhere.

With more EV’s sold and more time passed, only then will we better understand battery life but based on what I’m seeing, it’s a minor issue that won’t stop me from buying an EV.

It’s easy to make a less powerful motor. As someone else said, the current market is for people who are looking for better performance and aren’t concerned with price. I put a deposit on a Polestar 3 that does 0-60 in 4.7s which is slow compared to its competition like the Model X and BMW iX but I don’t care about 0-60. It’s a meaningless metric to judge a car by. My Challenger SRT 392 does the 0-60 in 4.2s but I bought that car for how nice it looks, not its 0-60.

Replacing EV batteries is very rare, even in older or very used EV’s
