Indirect Playback goes through them first. Also, they host DynDNS for the Plex media server to make accessing it remotely from apps easier.

The second thing is a joke to host and requires no resources. The first one can be a significant resource usage item.

Man I might have to get one of these.....I don't mind my FitBit, but since being gobbled by Google, I don't need another data point for Google to feed off.

Honestly? Might not be a bad idea to consider buying a used Tesla after they tank in value.

1. No money goes to Elon in that exchange, so you're not supporting the fascist prick. They made their money off the first buyer.

2. It's environmentally friendly to buy a used vehicle, rather than a new one, as you extend it's life and reduce it's carbon footprint

3. Since everybody is abandoning them, they're cheaper than other options.

My only reservation is that I'd be driving around a Tesla still, so if I did something like this I'd have to de-brand the hell out of it somehow to make it appear as a generic "an car".

They're trolling and have no idea what the fuck they're talking about. I've literally not had a bootloader failure in a decade from multiple Linux OS installs.

The only time I had an issue was when I was playing with a bleeding edge distro and it borked full disk encryption, but that was INTENTIONALLY bleeding edge and I knew the risks.

The billionaires would also drop every dollar they could into opponents, misinformation, and smear campaigns

Emulation isn't piracy and you're allowed to back up physical games you own. That's legally your right.

This firmware update applies to laserjets. Not inkjets.

Since when did Walz serve in a position that supported genocide? He's a governor. Harris was part of the Biden white house, not Walz.

As someone who grew up with this shit, after my sister died in an accident this is exactly what these nutters say.

Exactly. Democrats are better than Republicans by a long shot, but they're paralyzed by rich oligarch capture.

Yes, Biden accomplished a lot....that was then subsequently undone by Trump.

Should Biden get credit for it still? Sure. He tried and it was a calm 4 years we had with him, minus inflation.

Did it make a fly's fart worth of difference? No, because much of that action was done through executive actions.

Biden did very little to support actual, systemic change to our voting systems, protections against executive power abuse, etc. He spent 4 years working hard to have his work mostly undone in a month.

We don't need incremental growth anymore. We've ignored systemic problems so long now that drastic change is needed. Systemic problems in education, voter rights protections, LGBTQ+ protections, higher education (he did try to kinda address this), racism, etc. Many of these things Biden didn't do anything to change that were long lasting, legislative changes.

These problems aren't just on Biden, though. They require the whole party to move as one progressive unit and not capitulate to this "both sides" and "moderate" bullshit. The Republican party is regressive and obstructionist and in order to combat it, we must take bold moves to show how green the grass is on the other side. Not "nothing will fundamentally change".
