Yes. I run PopOS and Hackintosh on my Thinkpad, use the new M4 Mac Mini as my main desktop (with hopes of Asahi Linux support in the future), and run unRAID on my completely overpowered Ryzen 5900x NAS, where I have a Win10 LTSC VM for the rare occasion I need to run software that only runs on x86 Windows.

I would prefer to only use Linux if I could, but MacOS is very competent and far superior to Windows in my opinion. I have never had any issues accessing my unRAID shares on it

On the other hand printers always work out of the box on Linux without even installing any drivers, whilst getting them go work on Windows can often be a nightmare

OK, do you want me to tell 50 users of my Plex server that they can no longer use their shitty 10 year old smart TV to watch my movie library, and instead have to pay money buy a chromecast dongle, and then get a completely different UI and lose all their view progress on TV series? They’d just go back to paying for Netflix.

And yes, I have users that struggle even with the Plex app. My father can’t figure out how to use his dumb-phone to call a contact, and is only able to accept incoming calls. It took months to teach him how to use the Plex app, switching him to a different one will take just as long

Yes. I have a lifetime Plex pass, and I donated to Jellyfin as well. Looking forward to the day I can uninstall Plex and no longer worry about them potentially giving my data to Media companies so they can sue for piracy

The problem with Jellyfin is that it’s not a viable alternative for people hosting a Plex server for their family and friends. If you are the only 8ne using your server it’s fine, but Jellyfin doesn’t have working apps for every platform, and the ones that have a Jellyfin client available are not nearly as user friendly.

They also offer free tunneling for people that can’t port-forward because they are locked behind cgnat. To be fair, the tunneling is limited to potato quality 2mbps bitrate, but that is a significant cost to them still

Same on my OG ioniq

How are you not fully in control when running a foss rom? The only thing you can’t do (easily) is run a different Linux kernel due to drivers

I’m sorry, but then you are the minority. AI image categorization and face recognition is amazing for finding specific pictures quickly

because many cars have regular headlights that are as bright as normal high beams

You seem to have no grasp of how car headlights work, because almost every single car that has ever been produced has high beams that are as bright as their low beams

I avoid them as much as possible purely because their in-house logistics company recently started doing their deliveries here instead of DHL, and they are absolutely terrible. Delivery times range from 7 AM to 9 PM and they just leave the package in front of your door without even ringing the doorbell

Not for me, 40€ toner cartridge gets me 10k pages, already have over 80k pages printed so the printer paid itself multiple times compared to a copyshop

Well, with low-end gpus (like the integrated APU in the Steam Deck) there is still competition. The main reason high-end gpus are so expensive is that there are no alternatives to Nvidia, so they can ask for any price they want

Yes, if I was using it only for myself I could make Jellyfin work for me, but since I share my Plex server with about 50 family members and friends I still have to stick with Plex. It just has an app for pretty much every device that exists, which isn’t the case for Jellyfin. The clients are also much more user friendly so I don’t have to play tech support all the time because people can’t get the Jellyfin app working on their shitty 10 year old Samsung smart TV.

Maybe I need it give it another chance, but 3 months ago it was still hot garbage compared to plex

It’s pretty easy to jailbreak a Kindle and block firmware updates. But the fact that it is necessary in the first place sucks

Despite no longer sticking to the DIN standard, and climate controls being integrated into the infotainment system, there still exists a big market for aftermarket infotaiment systems, they just have to be engineered for the specific make of car you have. But they can be bought for most cars that have infotaiment systems that are now outdated

Well, there has to be some kind of algorithm. Even picking a random Wikipedia article technically is an algorithm, just not one that adapts to the user

Yeah, I’m not gonna tell the 50 users of my plex server to set up wireguard on their devices so they can request movies and TV series on my overseer, when I can instead just use NPM to make it publically accessible with a password prompt
