In Denmark you get two options, you can buy an unlocked phone with cash. Or purchase a subscription with it, and the provider gives you some incentive for it. The subscription is locked for 6 months which is the max by law.

If I buy a phone with the subscription, the discount means you would usually pay 80% of the phones value.

That locks you to a subscription for 6 months that is usually more expensive than the other offers out there, but the difference doesn't make up for the reduced price of the phone over the 6 month period.

So you are actually saving money, as long as you remember to switch to a cheaper subscription after the 6 months pass. The telecom of course hopes you don't, and that's their incentive for taking a hit on profit in the short term. It buys them marketshare.

As a person from Denmark; I'm fine thanks.

Thing is Skyrim wasn't particularly handcrafted or lively either, the models for things like dungeons were repeated all the time and the NPC liveliness was lacklustre compared to eurojank games like Gothic.

Since I have become a parent I can't stand to read things like this.

How anyone can be this cruel, is beyond me.

Still a 60% weight increase to a VW Up! A car much better suited for living in a European metropol.

I assume they said it was due to other reasons than obscurity, although we know better.

Brazil ≠ Argentina

Mine keeps shrinking though, it's really annoying!

I use it for enterprise scale infrastructure deployments. But for a home network, it seems like unnecessary work.

She definitely has a few agents from the Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) around her at all times. They are most often dressed in civilian clothing, but you can see the earpiece, they use to communicate.

That's an anglicisation though, it's Scandinavian and means New Farm.

Here's a swedish version:

If i could get HW accelleration to work with Jellyfin, like it does in Plex, I would switch yesterday.

Would be from the assumptions that typical routers that do everything, tends to be underpowered. One thing I looked at was repurposing a second hand Fujitsu S920 for the task of being a router. But again, I am just spitballing, seeking inspiration.

It was definitely linked to Debian, which was something I missed first time around. And not something that needed doing for my Plex instance.

I've tried Infuse now and I am very happy with it. It appears very polished, even compared to Plex.

This is exactly the kind of input I was looking for, thank you!

I work with the Azure cloud infrastructure, with quite a bit of networking included, so it's one of the motivations of not necessarily taking the easy route. What hardware are you using?

The ONT allows for 1Gbs up and down, through fibre. But the possibility of buying more is possible. Having multi gig within the network, was more for internal communication and keeping options open for future upgrades.

Very tempting, as I am accustomed to Amplifi, and I like their access points a lot. But if I am to achieve above 1 Gbps wired speeds, it appears that I have to go for the UDM Pro which I think is quite above the mark. It seems like many other options have opened up, like a retrofitted Fujitsu S920 as I commented to another.

Got a suggested device?

Hmm appears that I got it working by trying again. It was something about adding group to my docker compose file that did the trick. Thank you for motivation. 4K HDR is working now!

Next issue, Swiftfin for Apple TV needs quite a bit of polish, for instance I can't change the subtitles within the player. But perhaps I should pay for Infuse until I feel it's there.

I'd be quite satisfactory to not support Plex anymore.

Thank you! Seems like its unavailable in Europe unless you pay a hefty premium.

About the sliding phone, Apple has proposed a magnetic solution to that.

Haven't tried it, but seems to solve that specific issue.
