I watch it on my Apple devices mostly. Never tried it on my linux computers but I will have to try. So I guess Apple made another half assed Windows app. I don’t use Windows unless work forces me because Microsoft destroyed their OS with bloat, unwanted data harvesting, and AI garbage.

You can change the password requirements in settings to not do that easily. It’s initially set from a prompt you choose during set up that requires the password every time, after 15 minutes, or never.

That’s weird. I’ve had Apple TV+ since it’s came out and never had any of these issues. It’s always worked seamlessly.

It lives on an isolated VLAN with traffic routed through a VPN service on a dedicated NAS for movies. If someone gets into it, they’ll get no personal info but my movies.

Jellyfin works fine. No point paying for Plex.

Exactly. They want their version of The Network State

This is exactly why I deleted Facebook and Instagram. It no longer served it’s only purpose.

Centralized for profit social media should be over.

Not a huge blow to companies this large sadly.

This is it. Conservatives are predominantly people with little to no empathy. That’s why they change their tune the moment things affect them.

That stinks. I have the F4-424 Pro and I love it.

Mine has an internal USB so you can open it up pretty easily and install any version of Linux you prefer. Not sure what model you bought, but I would assume you can too.

I work for an ISP, I definitely know how long old equipment gets held onto. Lol. Not saying it doesn’t happen, just saying Cisco isn’t the ubiquitous quality product it used to be.

I bought a Terramaster instead. Better hardware specs for the money and you can overwrite the OS with Linux which is way better than any stock OS.

Most of the internet infrastructure above the LAN side is actually Nokia switches these days. Cisco has lost a lot of market share. Most of the old Cisco switches are being replaced due to no longer being updated. Security wise, not great to keep an end of life switch.

People need to get off all corporate social media. It can’t be trusted.

That only happens from incompetence or bad IPAM software. It’s easy to assign a static in most management systems. As long as you set up the static in your router correctly, it should just stay.

Sleep Number beds are like $10,000 for some models already. Who knows what ridiculousness they will charge for an “AI” bed.

They could have bailed out individual’s loans, and also solidified the banks that way. If they paid month by month for a time period to stabilize things it would’ve been drastically cheaper and kept people from losing their houses. Those people could have paid back in increments over time in taxes even (like they do student loans). It would have kept all those people from losing their homes, cost less, stabilized the economy, and not rewarded the banks for risky behavior. They should have charged the major players in banks too. What Obama did was the worst way to right the ship.

Obama’s policies were mostly Heritage foundation fed too. The ACA was a Heritage Foundation plan. His bank bail out was a hand out to the rich without consequence. His foreign policy was bad towards the middle East and awful for human rights. He deported more people than any president before him. By all metrics, he was a Republican. He was historic, sure, but I don’t think he was any better than Biden in relation to policies that helped regular people or embrace of the anti-human rights policies. People’s memories tend to soften situations or maybe just politics was more muted at the time. Democrats have been right wing lite for my whole life.
