Control I’d imagine, if upstream ever does something they don’t want they can stop pulling the change downstream without having to migrate again to another tool internally, so easier to make that jump now ig

How can one become a tech nerd without tinkering with things though?

Might be a stupid question but why not displayport instead?

Yes please, I’ve been wanting to switch to a self built NAS but the ram prices are the only thing holding me back

Likely more to do with communication to customers on sale pages and such, and consequently with customer protection laws. They likely can’t advertise it as a discounted price for example in the same way a seasonal sale would be signposted, I would imagine at least.

I don’t think people have a problem with progress as a concept, but the AI shift is a major hit on the job market and therefore the economy and governments are failing the people. Not only that but the replacements are subpar and generally make things worse and add a huge amount of technical debt. People are losing livelihoods in a system that doesn’t care for them and hasn’t cared for them in ages, and it’s all decided by business suits that fall for weak marketing.

Why the fuck would anyone buy an AI generated book instead of… Generating their own? If they generate it they even get to change the story on the fly, a printed out AI book is like the worst lmao

What’s the population density like chief? Based on online stats Germany is 6x more dense than the US as a whole (mostly due to those big states you’re comparing it to being < 100/mi².)

It’s the same as the regular subscription benefits, just permanent.

Nowadays 7 years of updates means like 2-3 years of “feature” updates and the rest is security updates, annoyingly not the same thing as with Apple devices, better than just 2 years of feature updates but it does feel a bit misleading

Yea man sure, apples to apples ran it on the same hardware as Plex, yet Plex doesn’t have any issues with playback or slowness.

Jellyfin has been very slow for me and buggy especially when it comes to UI and if you try anything fancy like the sync play stuff. I tried it again not long ago and it just pales in comparison. Don’t get me wrong as a free offering it’s fantastic but I paid for a lifetime sub for Plex years ago, this just works.

It used to be you had to research a lot to get a good pc but nowadays it’s kinda hard to go wrong so the argument that you don’t have to look up stuff with a console and you are ready to play is also making getting a console slightly less attractive.

Is the grey blue the Gemini moulding over products?

Awful? I’ve found it so much nicer, especially with how seamless moving across their suite was before they made it a single app
