You stated the reason yourself. Those are different values and matching in a case-insensitive manner is more work under the hood.

This was my exact experience as well. I'll never know how Plex compares to Jellyfin because I immediately noped out when I ran into the account creation.

Frankly baffling to me that anyone with the wherewithal to self host thought that was okay.

I'd be interested to see the actual wording of the agreement for that extra $11 million that was allegedly "defrauded". Was it actually stipulated that the money had to be spent on the series, or did he just walk up to Netflix like "give me $11,000,000 and I'll complete the series."

The actual issue at hand seems to be that the series was never completed more so than what the money was used on.

My first read of this headline had me thinking "that's strange, gendered bathrooms are still pretty normal, they can't possibly have been banned, could they?"

...it hadn't even passed within miles of my mind that this was talking about racial segregation. I can't even comprehend this level of regression.

It cannot be overstated how much of a boon Discord's lack of friction is for connecting with people and forming communities. It is mind-flatteningly easy to get onto Discord and into a community, and while the content of those communities is woefully unindexed deep web, forever sequestered, the external discoverability of the communities themselves is exceptional.

You will not ever reach the same people with the same ease of use as Discord if you use a hosted alternative.

What could possibly be in the vaccines that would be worse than your child no longer existing?

The article says the man is a Mennonite, which means he probably believes in an afterlife. In his mind his child still exists and he'll get to see her again when he passes and spends eternity there.

I pretty firmly believe that afterlife beliefs account for a pretty significant distortion of values in people and helps explain a large number of frankly insane behaviours. Preventing deaths becomes much less important when there's an eternal paradise waiting for you and the "real" risk is doing something that bars you from going there.

Work, home, online (anonymous), online (WoW friends), online (Elite Dangerous friends), online (Street Fighter friends), IRL friends.

My most common use for Google assistant was an extremely simple command. "Ok Google, set a timer for ten minutes." I used this frequently and flawlessly for a long time.

Much like in your situation it just stopped working at some point. Either asking for more info it doesn't need, or reporting success while not actually doing it. I just gave up trying and haven't used any voice assistant in a couple of years now.

Some people prefer it.

I maintain a small piece of Windows software and originally just provided an installer, but I received enough requests for it that now when I publish releases I provide both an installer and a zipped portable build.

...are you calling first person shooters "shmups"?

Your laptop uses an iGPU. The "i" stands for integrated, as it's built into the same package as the CPU.

The alternative, a dGPU, is a discrete part, separate from other components.

They're saying that your situation is becoming increasingly common. People can do the gaming they want to without a dGPU more easily as time goes by.

Mine does something similar but there's simply more pixels for it to float around in, so nothing clips. It's a 3440x1440 display, but the actual physical screen is something like 3460x1460 so the image can shift without clipping.
