i wouldnt say im an expert at it as ive only had my media server for a month now, but how i approached making it user friendly was buying a domain name, and using a cloudflare tunnel to link your ip addresses/port to a subdomain.domain combination.

e.g i have overseer accessible by overseerr.domainname.extention and have it linked to the servers ipadress and port number. if i wanted to add another one, i would for example add a new subdomain and do the same (e.g plex.domainname.extention and point it to the correct ip/port combo)

although this has the cost of owning a domain, it doesnt require you to open a port so its better for security reasons

generally speaking, i only really like the movie theaters for tech demo movies (e.g Avatar) or if the audio experience is one of the largest aspects of the movie, else i dont see much of a reason to go myself.

kinda wrong sentiment to get from the statement. statement is only saying if

if free and NOT open source > data harvest

it doesn’t necessarily imply that

if free and open source > doesnt data harvest

at all. its just you have the ability to find out via code of they do or not. thats more or less in the boat of logical paradoxes you can make.

i think thats the point. its like scientology, except its targetting people who are paranoid of big brother.

the reason it wont happen is because the components of a pc is a conglomerate of different companies selling parts for profit. virtually none of these companies can take a loss because they get 0 sales in the aftersales market, because PC isnt a closed garden where the company can arbitrarily sell you a service or subscription because you basically dont have a choice, else receive limited functionality (on a device that already on its own has limited functionality vs a pc)

for instance, its completely silly that console users have to PAY for a sub to get online service for paid games, invluding for games the console company doesnt even pay server hosting for.

of course they have trained models in house. they had ai write a song during a meme conference last year

they also use ai to train a model for DLSS image upscaling in house.

people often use other peoples kssns, usually parents or grandparents to bypass the child timer yes. but its a roadblock nonetheless

basically the only way it would ever remotely work is if countries adopted the south korean method of identy. they have a kssn used for basic identity purposes, and a seperate id for tax/money related purposes. if a country has both as the same ID, it becomes MAJOR liability if a company had leaked the number. having seperate identity and financial numbers removes the financial risk if the identity value was leaked.

although of course, it removes privacy as the government now can track users (e. g how korea tracks children’s game playing time online, as a KSSN is required to register to play)

the burger stuff isnt that big its just the idea that ghost kitchens don’t have a standardized consistency between store to store because of chef and logistics. logistics is the bigget factor when it comes to food from a chain tasting the same from one branch to another, and historically speaking, the people best at logistics typically become the strongest.

some monitors have a plastic screen in front of the LCD to protect the LCD from damage, as its far eaiser to replace the plastic layer than the LCD layer.

i call it the dark side of idolism.

its a way to extract money very well, but it creates a toxic environment

the only danger of that is it requires a populace to be aware of ALL crimes, which usually isnt realistic.

oops you didn’t put a litium ion battery warning on a box and it shipped on a plane? go to jail.

the problem is at least on the U.S end, San Jose is part of the Silicon Valley. Talent is not the problem, its the people who ultimately choose to hire is going out of its way to hire talent that seemed non local.

POTENTIAL CURBS ON FOREIGN STUDENTS Around 40% of ASML’s 23,000 employees in the Netherlands are not Dutch

hell, when I interviewed at ASML in San Jose, California, i had the vibe that most of the employees there werent American born. sounds like its an internal hiring problem.

pvp is very toxic, but a player never has to go into it, however a user has to go into WvW if they want. legendaries strictly for Gift of Battle.

id reckon youd have to wait for steam machines to have a modern reboot, and I dont think valve wants to push that yet till the majority of popular online miltiplayer games run on linux (the major hurdle linux has for gaming) as a home console replacement user is far more likely to also delve into online multiplayer over the handheld on the go player.

its because people are always chasing what’s new. its the goldfish brain that people have (play whats new and get bored with it quick and switch games) that is ome of the causes or developers to keep developing new titles.

to me the biggest ones were Auto HDR, windows snap window management, and tabbed folders

IMO the capacititive buttons with no feedback are even worse than the touch screen. at least with the touch screen, you will likely have a colored UI element on screen to press. with the cars that replace all the buttons with capacitive buttons with no feedback, theyre all the same color.

no, it would look like what you think itd look like. red food coloring is added so that it looks closer to ketchup
