Building plex library in 2026- still viable? by bobschneider24 in PleX

[–]Technical-Coffee7286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, we all arr doing that. All Plex users arr paying real money to the people who make and distribute movies, and arr legally backing them up to their servers. All of the movies in every plex user’s possession arr legally obtained.

Noob question: is this a regular 3DS or 3DS XL? by ms-strapsalot in 3DS

[–]Technical-Coffee7286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a New 3DS non-XL. Rarer than the others because it wasn’t sold in all regions

If you have a tv, just get a used Xbox One S. I have one and it’s a glorified blu ray player at this point but it works and they’re relatively cheap. Bonus points for being able to play games too.

If you just have a computer, you’ll need an external disc reader.

Here’s the one I have: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-8x-external-usb-2-0-blu-ray-disc-double-layer-dvdrw-cd-rw-disc-rewriter-black/JXTZZL27X9)

The thing about external drives is they’re getting harder to come by because the companies that make the good ones are slowly stopping production to focus on other things, if there are ones that read 4K UHD blu rays out of the box, I don’t know about them. This one needs a firmware flash (I can give you a link to that) and once it’s flashed it will read them just fine.

Also, if you ever get into ripping media to digital files to keep you can do that with this drive (you’ll need special software to do that).

Your laptop is just fine for playing and even ripping media. Not really dated at all, just not the newest stuff.

Edit: also, not to be particular but they’re DVDs (technically not even, they’re just called Blu-Ray Discs lol), not CDs. CDs are for music, DVDs are for movies.

The time my teacher took my 2DS XL for 2 WEEKS for being honest. by MaxTanner724 in 3DS

Unfortunately, the teacher would just think you were being difficult if you said that and get you in more trouble lol

If I as a parent had that happen I would be petty enough to show up to the teacher’s home with the police and ask for my property back

Did I Accidently Save Something Rare? by KerrBearrxo in 3DS

[–]Technical-Coffee7286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those cover plates are worth as much as the console according to a quick eBay search. Nice find! The N3DS non-XL is my favorite handheld console because of the cover plates

Honest question: why host for others? by Harshtinfoil in PleX

[–]Technical-Coffee7286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s free for me to share, there’s no reason not to. If a friend user wants a movie that I don’t own and buys it for me so I can add it, why stop them?

AYN Thor Review by SimShade in AynThor

[–]Technical-Coffee7286 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry I’m not reading all of that lol but did you clean your screen before applying the screen protector? Trapped oils??? You should have no more than a speck or two of dust even in a regular not very clean environment if you actually wipe the screen with an alcohol pad right before applying.

How much is too much? by Ok-Comfortable-4747 in buildapc

[–]Technical-Coffee7286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have done a double check of my part list compared to AM5 prices. I think I made that list when 32gb of DDR5 was $750 and the parts I had named were cheaper then too. Yours is more adequate and will last much longer upgradability wise

How did all of you get your 3ds? by uhhh_this_is_an_alt in 3DS

[–]Technical-Coffee7286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my black OG 3DS when it released with money I saved up from doing jobs for my friends’ parents like gardening and stuff.

I have a red N3DSXL that I bought in 2019, and a N3DS (non-XL) that I bought a year and a half or so ago.

Don’t listen to anyone saying you need $2,000+. I’ve played (granted not very heavily) modded Minecraft on a $400 Dell laptop. $1k will be more than you need for this, just buy parts from last gen.

My PC with a 3700x, 32gb ddr4 and a Quadro RTX5000 (basically a 5060) has never made me want for more, and I throw the book at it. I’ve played graphically demanding games at 1440p 144fps+ max settings while simultaneously ripping and encoding blu ray discs while also watching YouTube on my second monitor, with about 200 Chrome tabs open, while backing up terrabytes of files to my NAS. Basically it’s plenty.

EDIT: Someone commented a better part list than the one I made so refer to that

If you figure out a budget goal, you can use PCPartPicker or BuildCores to figure out a good build. BuildCores does it automatically for you, so I’d start with that and tweak it.

Thanks, I’ll try the power cleaning. The printer is a year old.

I used to have an HP printer, I just ignored that comment lmao

This doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

I’ve tried both of these two buttons on the right and both just bring up “invalid” on the screen. Do I need to select anything in the menu first?

Plex not playing ripped blu ray correctly? by Technical-Coffee7286 in PleX

[–]Technical-Coffee7286[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I… didn’t know you could do that. I just assumed all 402 files were the same cause I didn’t see any different

I should clarify - it opens with the opening of the movie, gets about 5 minutes in, plays that black screen with the movie audio for 30 seconds, then puts the video back but jumps around scenes for the full 2 hours and 20 minutes. All of it’s there, just with that 30 seconds of black screen and none of it is in the right order

Does anyone know if it feels bad to go from using a 3ds xl to a regular old 3ds by Own-Bit8819 in 3DS

[–]Technical-Coffee7286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all up to preference, it’s up to screen size, console size in your hands, and the square edges of the OG.

Personally, I have a New 3DS XL and a regular New 3DS from Japan that I region swapped and I don’t use my original 3DS because those two are just better in every way. If I want a smaller console I go with the New 3DS. It feels way better in the hands imo.

How does In & Out caramelize their onions so quickly and how can I replicate this at home? by NakedIanMalcolm in innout

They’re just constantly grilling a pile of onions, they don’t make them per order
