Give Jellyfin a try too. I switched to that from Plex after I realised they were trying to charge me money to use hardware transcoding on my own hardware.

Could anyone with more knowledge confirm, but couldn't they just do what some car companies are doing and have a system by which you can just disable keyless entry when it's parked up at night?
If I'm at home and my car is parked up where the key could potentially be repeated then I just disable it by locking the car using the key and tapping on the door handle, which disables just tapping the door handle to unlock it again, and only the unlock button on the key works. As far as I understand it resolves this issue, unless I'm missing something?
Part of it is also partly down to users just ignoring updates. I know people who complain about getting monthly updates let alone weekly. Another part (from experience) is also likely to be internal beurocracy where things just take ages because there's so many unnecessary stages to go through before a release.
My YouTube alerts come days after the actual video release dates. I'm not even sure how they manage to get it that delayed.
I'm not entirely sure how cheques work being that I've not used one in about 15 years, but I'd imagine they give a cheque from an account with no money. Because cheques are awful the money will appear in your account for a time period by which you are given the illusion of getting legit money. They ask you to buy something like jewellery or gift cards and ask for it back at the end, maybe letting you keep a bit of it for yourself. A while goes by and the cheque bounces, which means you're then on the hook for the cost of everything you purchased and the scammer gets a ton of free items that they can then sell on.
They did. Cheap and reliable
How do you prepare for an update when Bethesda don't tell you what is changing? It says in the article they had literally no correspondence from Bethesda until the update dropped, so the only thing they could do was keep developing and hope not too much broke in the process.
That being said, from what I understand is that the script extender broke, so they're just waiting for an undefined time until that gets fixed for the latest update.
The index is better overall and I love mine, but I can't help but feel jealous that someone can just grab their quest, put it on and get into VR immediately. I have to cart my PC downstairs, turn the base stations on, find the index and wire it all up, troubleshoot why Windows has decided to mess up the drivers and now nothing works, and maybe half an hour later finally get into a game or completely give up and try again another time.
The quest gains a lot in portability and ease of setup, and that does result in a lot of other features being sacrificed but to most people the downsides don't matter as much.
I do this too, but it is addressed in the post and is a problem which has caught me out on occasion:
A surprising amount of forms simply disallow the + symbol and consider anything containing it to be an invalid email. Worse is when a form allows it, but the subsequent login form doesn't and then you're immediately locked out of an account you just created.
The hyphen idea is better, but I'm not sure whether that's too much of a common symbol and would be too restrictive to disallow in a username for this service, and if it's not disallowed then I wonder about the security implications that could cause.
What about the trees too? Everything's fine until I get slightly too close to a forest and everything shits itself sideways.
How do you release a game without having a LOD for something that's going to be on screen in large groups 90% of the time?
I love loads of the small details in this game but a lot of the decisions they made to cut time so they could release baffles me.
Also the same, but both ears. I think I've had it since I was about 10 after an ear infection and only relatively recently learned not everyone has stupidly high pitched ringing in their ears all the time.
There are many ways of doing this. I know the source engine uses visboxes, which are calculated once at map compile time. It takes a while to compile, but it means that clients can use the pre-compiled data to calculate parts of the map that are visible and the server can use them to determine what the player can see at a given time. I'm not sure whether it does that or not, but it would make sense to use that data.
Even more ideally there should be ample public transport at either end of the high speed line so a car isn't necessary, and freight trains are far more efficient than carrying a lorry containing a single container.
Eurotunnel is relatively unique as it bridges the UK to the rest of Europe, and the only other realistic option is a slower ferry journey. Where continental journeys are concerned there's no need for them to be able to carry vehicles in my opinion.
Currently running a desktop on W11 on "unsupported hardware". Even managed to get it onto a 15 year old machine running a first gen i7 920 and not even a hint of a TPM module as an experiment and it worked perfectly fine.
I think you give them too much credit. From what I've seen, it's just a setTimeout call for 5 seconds if you're on Firefox, which is similar to what all those shady cookie popups from TrustArc do if you click "Reject all".
That entirely depends on how well code reviews are managed. I've worked with a "Martin" in the past and we did manage to move to a system where 2+ reviewers were required but it simply got to the point where no one would "rock the boat" because he'd simply brush off every comment made, or call you up to have a long rambling conversation as to why he made the decision he did and how you're wrong and he's right, and given his position in the company you couldn't complain to anyone else about him because he was more valuable to them than you were.
We tried to put more and more blockers in front of him to attempt to encourage him to play nicer, but these were only temporary solutions to the bigger problem of "Martin" himself.
Not tried in a while but it used to just be a case of leaving it disconnected from the net during setup.
Failing that you can still sign up with a throwaway account and convert it to local in the options after installation iirc. It's not ideal but it's still something at least.
You can, but MS disables automatic updates without telling you. I have TPM but my CPU is one generation too old apparently, so they silently disabled updates on my machine and I didn't realise I was still on 21H2 until a couple of weeks ago and had to manually update it.
The manual update worked and it didn't warn me about anything or encounter any issues, but that was a massive pain.
Still waiting for something that uses those pogo pins or the removable backplate...
And this also reminds me I have to check the battery in the one I have in storage. The Nexus 4 I had swelled up and pushed off its glass back while charging.
My girlfriend's phone applies patches automatically and puts a notification up suggesting to restart or schedule a restart over night and it just gets ignored. I press the button whenever I see it though.
People don't like being inconvenienced even if there's an option just do do everything over night while charging, and even if everything was automatic and updates were just installed over night I guarantee people would find something to complain about. Unfortunately there's no winning, but I agree that increased security from opt out updates would be beneficial.
Money.
Every one of these companies has the exact same target, which is to make more money for their shareholders than the previous quarter at the expense of everything else.
When a company is small and not making as much it's easier to make little changes to increase capital, but as the company gets larger and they run out of avenues to extract cash from they start getting more and more desperate and their tactics get more and more obvious.
I've just left a company for this exact reason, as their little cash grabbing exercises were starting to impact employees and they were making cuts all over the place in order to keep up the illusion of growth.
These CEOs don't think about the impact that new policies make, they just see more money not being extracted.
You're fine unless something happens to PayPal.
That would also explain why Aldi in the UK also has these while other stores don't.
Home Assistant is currently working hard on assistants. I've not used it much yet but their text to speech offers so much more than any of the larger companies in just customisation alone, plus it all runs locally.
I have Google Home devices all over but they currently mostly act as a dumb speaker and I just get HA to do all of the heavy lifting. The most Google does is set timers and even that just goes into HA for most of the processing.
It's fine, they'll just suggest a new generation of baby boomers to get the population back up again.
We'll, guess I learned something today and stand corrected. Thanks
Low is red, middle is orange and high has a pinkish hue to it. It's easier to see on the map itself but you can sort of tell on the key. I don't think the compression helps but it is different.
Yeah, you can plug it into a few external services like OpenAI or even use a local LLM like LocalAI. Not used either, but I know it's possible.
