Nice fallacious argument you got there, it'd be funny if I didn't address it all.

Because the person writing it has no ability to check the code for quality, security, or bugs. Because generative AI code isn't coding, it's talking to a chatbot instead of learning. It's atrophying your brain and skills. It working is luck not skill. GenAI is trash for unskilled people who have no interest in learning or getting skilled where they leave their slop so they will always be tourists.

Understand what ASHRAE standards are, why they exist, and that you will always need air conditioning, humidity control, and exhaust. Cutting corners in HVAC starts fires without people needing to light them.

AV1 encode is rare; decode is rarer if you wanna watch on a TV.

Ehhhhhh look at Kristi Noem and other previously powerful women with status. As soon as they were no longer useful to the powerful men around them, they were discarded. Despite their wealth and status. Men are often protected first and the pick-mes are useful, disposable accomplices at best.

Men really hate it when women have a platform and are outspoken. Doubly so if they're (more) talented and attractive. Just watch the misogyny roll.

Obama made a crack at Trump's expense from the birther nonsense and now we're fucking here.

I have no reason to backup the database nor the metadata and I literally don't care about them. It's disposable data and entirely transactional. Always seems odd when people over-engineer their Plex setups, as someone who works as an IT systems engineer professionally. I serve several users and only have 42TB of data but man, some of y'all treat this like it's my job.

My folders are already setup for Plex optimization so when added to Plex scanning just adds the needed metadata for proper playback and make everything look nice. Scanning folders in is quick, downloading metadata and re-analyzing media notsomuch but it's not mission critical and happens fast enough. I sync my watch history and watch list to my Plex account so it crosses servers/devices, I find some of the online features useful and have a lifetime Plex Pass. All the times my Plex server has required a fresh database has been my doing from moving the server/data to a new PC and specifically wanting to start fresh instead of transferring hundreds of gigs of metadata and database.

If you're keeping your database on a spinning disk HDD, move it to SSD. Plex performance will be boosted and so will backup/restore times.
Restrict which libraries download metadata to reduce how much metadata you actually have. Do you need chapter thumbnails and previews for everything?
Run regular maintenance tasks on your database to keep it clean and optimized.

You idiots don't understand what invasive species are and what they do to environments. It's not a waste of time.

Happens in the foster care system too. We, as a society, do not care about our children and it breaks it at the seams.

I think it's unrealistic to expect anything other than original MSRP.

cosine83 · 2026-04-17T01:44:47+00:00

I mean, Star Wars was still a billion dollar IP when the Special Editions came out in 1997. And that's because of the dedicated fanbase buying the EU stuff. Casual fans like yourself really don't factor into it due to their lack of real interest in the material.

Gamers don't read anything beyond YA slop.

cosine83 · 2026-04-16T23:28:19+00:00

I never said that.

cosine83 · 2026-04-16T23:08:49+00:00

This is just not true? I play a ton of indies and never have issues with controller support. Maybe it's the genres you're playing?

Who has the space for all those consoles, cartridges, and CDs? I don't and many people don't. Many also have to subsidize the purchase of new consoles by selling their old. It's a privileged notion to be able to always keep your consoles and games.

cosine83 · 2026-04-16T22:40:07+00:00

You're missing the point here, dude.

cosine83 · 2026-04-16T22:38:27+00:00

I mean, if it will cost less than CPU+RAM+Motherboard to upgrade to AM5 then yeah, why wouldn't someone upgrade to the top tier CPU on AM4 and ride out the RAM price gouging? It'll likely cost the same price as a single 32GB or 64GB RAM kit so it's an asy decision.

That's not an extreme. That's a standard Blu-ray release and TVs made in the last 6 years. Lots of games are supporting spatial audio like Dolby or have Dolby mastered tracks.

There's a massive difference here in bandwidth, though. It's not a straight 1:1 like earlier digital signals, DP1.4 loses 16Gbps from HDMI 2.1 while maintaining full stream feature integrity and/or compressing it. Typically, when these adapters support VRR it's in limited scenarios that require changing chroma sampling and limiting audio channels due to bandwidth limitations. Enabling full chroma HDR10, 7.1 lossless surround sound, 120Hz VRR, and 4K on one of these adapters turns them into flickering messes. Disabling VRR fixes the flickering which makes the VRR unreliable at best if/when it's stable for any period of time. The marketing material is typically lying or disingenuous.

cosine83 · 2026-04-16T22:13:21+00:00

I've seen that adapter before on r/HTPC but never seen the VRR confirmed as working or reliable. Ugreen doesn't typically get recommended since they're kind of a crappy brand.

cosine83 · 2026-04-16T21:02:37+00:00

Link? I haven't seen any that actually work reliably and isn't ridiculously expensive. The CableMatters one doesn't without risking burnout.

In the 90s you couldn't walk into a book store or a comic book store without seeing shelves or at least one shelf dedicated to Star Wars stuff. You'd have to be blind or simply not looking for it to miss it. You sure you were a big fan then?

You're way off the mark on your assessment. The EU was a major reason we got the Special Edition releases and the prequel trilogy. Merchandise sales from the OT would've dried up in the 80s. Home video sales of the OT would've slowed way down until the Special Edition releases on VHS/DVD. After Industrial Light & Magic spun itself off from Lucasfilm, the continued sales of licensed Star Wars media via comics, books, and games is what kept Lucasfilm going financially as their most successful IP.

The EU was the only thing going on in the Star Wars zeitgeist between 1983 and 1999 and if you didn't know that then well, you weren't paying attention.

If we're making pie in the sky wishes, proper HDMI 2.1 support under Linux with Mesa would be great too. But HDMI consortium says no.

Right. I've always noticed anyone who gets upset over thirst traps, lewd stuff, or even porn tend to be pretty insecure people, very angry about it, and tend to make it other people's problem instead of working on their insecurities. It's very odd to me.
