If they all tried to dogpile you at the same time I’m fairly certain the laws of thermodynamics would result in a dead you, as well as several dozen well-done kids lol.

I was unironically told that I should “keep a lower profile” if I want to avoid being bullied. I spoke to nobody and hugged the walls walking from class to class. I don’t know how much lower of a profile I could keep.

Please don’t pour fat down the drain. Starving children in Africa could use that bacon grease!

See, if you budget properly then you can afford to live on your own and have two beds!

DOCIS 3.1 involves more than just speed. No point going over the speed limit if all the traffic lights are timed based on a certain speed. https://www.cablelabs.com/blog/how-docsis-3-1-reduces-latency-with-active-queue-management

If your provider has implemented it (Comcast is the only one i know of in north america) then Active Queue Management is a huge quality of life improvement that you won’t know you were missing unless you already had a router that implements queue management. https://www.cablelabs.com/blog/how-docsis-3-1-reduces-latency-with-active-queue-management

By default, WiFi Motion is set to detect even small amounts of movement in the motion-sensing areas, including motion caused by small pets.

holy shit lol

I live in Appalachia and people here regularly use ham for weather reports but that’s about it. If there was an actual emergency I assume that would be sent out as well.

Hey, it could be stolen.

MacOS stopped supporting 32-bit with Catalina and, according to appleinsider.com, older games won’t work on Catalina at all.

Wouldn’t the alternative be losing a LOT of old games on Steam?

You all don’t seem to understand, this is just the cost of progress!

On my Sony Bravia running Android you can just disable the Samba app from running same as you’d disable any app in Android.

Sorry lol it’s a quote from a cartoon called Archer.

Seriously. I hate when people assume default settings are the only option. You don’t even need a Plex account to set up Plex. It will just be less seamless and user friendly. Never adopt the server, configure these via localhost (ssh tunnel works) and then set up your networking. Don’t even need to update it, it will run for as long as the database stays stable. Which should be years or more.

Just curious, do you know how many trees were MOLESTED to create that air you’re breathing?

For sure the quality will be worse than software but typically if I’m away from home I’m watching on an ipad and then you really can’t tell the difference.

EDIT: I meant QSV Gen 7, which would be intel Gen 11. Kaby Lake and up can still handle HEVC in hardware but they have to use software as well for 4K.

worth mentioning that any intel cpu with an iGPU from generation 7 (kaby lake) and up can handle 4k hevc transcode in hardware. i just upgraded my plex box to an i7 8700K and it works quite well. an old office workstation with like a 9th or 11th gen intel cpu would probably rip through transcodes.
