Not just size of TV but quality of TV. Not all 4k panels are the same. Spend lots of money on a kickass OLED TV and you’ll see the difference between 1080p and 4k. Assuming both sources are of high quality of course. Comparing a high quality 1080p vs a low quality 4k isn’t enough.

I don’t have buyers remorse at all. I love my car. I just find the Supervised Full Self Driving to be expensive for daily use. It’s awesome for road trips so I’ll gladly pay for the months I have road trips planned.

Its worth is highly subjective. I used it for 2 months as I had 2 long road trips and it was definitely worth it for me as it makes the long drive so much easier. With FSD, it’s still much cheaper than driving an ICE and there are way more benefits. To each his own though. Not everyone can afford a Model S.

With Supervised FSD, there’s no need to touch the steering wheel. Only with Autosteer Beta do you need to keep a hand on the steering wheel, and that’s free.

It’s also either lifetime or a monthly fee which you can cancel anytime. For my Model S it’s $11K Canadian for lifetime or $100CAD/mo for monthly which means it’d take me over 8 years to break even between the two.

I like Supervised FSD but I wouldn’t pay for lifetime and I only really use it when I’m doing long road trips. It’s awesome for that but I don’t rely on it for daily driving. I do think it drives better than 95% of drivers out there which is impressive.

Some people don’t need a car but will buy one anyway, not sure what point you’re making there. I see no problem in people buying what they want over what they need. Choice is good and if you want to spend more on a vehicle for any reason, that’s OK.

Buses, dump trucks, ambulances, 18 wheelers, tow trucks etc. are all heavy and dangerous. The focus should be on better designed roads and better driver training, not limiting what people can drive.

Shitty touch UI? I see you’ve never used one before. The response is amazing.

Way to go Sherlock. You cracked the case.

My guess is to give a better experience looking for things while driving. Like restaurants, current movies in theaters etc. Just like how everyone uses ChatGPT vs. Google. Not sure if I’ll use it frankly but I’ll see when I get it.

At the end of the day, none of that’s legitimate, it’s just an excuse to buy the car you prefer.

Since when is buying what we prefer considered negative? Calling it an excuse seems short-sighted.

Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works

It’s actually difficult. You can set a budget so AWS will alert you when you hit it.

They have a price calculator that’ll calculate costs before you do anything.

Inbound Internet is free. Only outboard costs you anything.

Network transfers between VPC’s using private links are free.

AWS accounts are free.

Lambda functions are ultra cheap as you only pay for the time you use it.

S3 is object storage with 11 9’s of uptime and it’s cheaper than any enterprise NAS.

Basically you’d have to setup something wrong and ignore it for weeks to incur a large bill.

I really want to use Nutanix but they are the same price as VMware VCF and they don’t support my existing hardware so I’d have to buy all new servers, just to pay the same price.

NPM, Nginx

If I need remote access, I just log into NPM and I have certain URL’s created for Plex, or Sonarr, Radarr etc. No issues so far.

You could be right about the CPU transcode vs. GPU transcode. It was a long time ago when I setup my Plex but I do recall having performance issues with CPU transcoding. Either way it’s a valid point.

I had to use relay only once at a Hotel and it was decent enough but the TV they had was pretty lame so I couldn’t tell how bad Relay was vs. the TV quality. Either way I got to watch what I wanted without commercials.

Never heard of ATV4K but I’ll check it out. Thanks.

They aren’t charging users to cover their costs to stream your data from your server. It’s to help them with their developper costs. Transcoding is something your server does and it’s only unlocked with Plex Pass so if you don’t have that, you can’t use it anyway. I have only 4k movies so if I want to watch them at any resolution smaller than 4k, I need transcoding which was the primary reason I got the pass. They can also proxy your connection in case you have issues connecting directly so they are somewhat using their own resources for that. They offer a great service at a very low price, much lower than Netflix and it’s much better. Everyone that connects to my plex server love the experience so it’s well worth it for me. If it’s not worth it for you, that’s cool. Use something like JF and then deal with a lack of device support and any other issues that come with JF. I hear it’s a also a great service but I also hear there are more issues with JF than Plex so I’m happy with Plex.

Their default Movies and Live Channels are bad, but that’s not why we’re using Plex right?

$120 is to support the platform and it provides the option to download movies/tv shows locally and allows for Transcoding to name but 2 benefits. It’s also got clients for pretty much every device out there.

If you can’t afford $120 for life then that’s too bad. Move to JF.

Crying about a non-issue isn’t exactly going to change anything is it? Plex is an awesome service or you wouldn’t have been using it.

It’s not getting shittier, they’re just asking for you to pay because you haven’t been paying. If anything, the service is improving. I paid once and never have to pay again and I’m saving a ton by not needing to pay for Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Paramount, AppleTV etc. etc.

Bully lol. Such hyperbole.

I don’t agree. They’re only affecting people who haven’t been paying and it’s an excellent service. They’re even giving you a heads up so you’re not caught offgaurd. It’s not even 9 months of Netflix and it’s valid for lifetime. If you can’t afford it, that’s one thing. If that’s the case move to JF and move on. I find Plex is very much worth the cost.
