That’s why I use Emby. Paid for lifetime within a day of switch from Plex (which I also have has lifetime for like a decade) because it has a ton of plugins that have been useful and has a cloud server switch function.

Always make sure you patch your cat regularly for vulnerabilities.

At this point you’re just fighting semantics. Even a commercial NAS is reliant on the software too, like with Synology. They run the disk management but also can run Docker and VMs with their built-in hypervisor.

Yep, I manage a lot of domains for my organization and our members, and work on our and infrastructure regularly. I basically always end all DNS queries with a period to ensure Windows or Linux aren’t trying to append anything like a search domain and screwing with my results. Fixes so many issues, especially when you’re expecting an NXDOMAIN result.

Can confirm what the other commenter said, completely impossible to have an effect. .com and .gov and .fr and .nz are what’s called TLDs or Top Level Domains. Everything is delegated down from that level for any subdomains. .fr and .nz are country owned and any attempt to take control of that would be returned to their respective governments by ICANN.

I mean US hospitals still use fax machines and banks use OTP over SMS, so all things are possible I guess.

Oh fuck, Drop Pears now too?

Yeah I’m right there with you. I have one of their beta devices and it… Kinda works?? The one thing Alexa does very very well is picking up on the voice who spoke her name over a very loud environment. I can have my TV blasting and it’ll still hear me without needing to shout louder than the TV. Using Alexa via Haaska rather than giving Alexa direct control was a requirement for me though because I don’t want it to know full details of what it’s actually controlling, just device names and types.

Should have been pretty obvious to anyone reading any tech news whatsoever today, especially in the context of where you responded. No apology from you should have been necessary!

They’re the same picture.

Not with that attitude

Well unfortunately if it’s the bearings dying, it continuing to run will likely overheat it and you risk locking it entirely. I’ve had to freeze a drive before scanning it and backing up, but it’s only about 50% successful.

“I hate change”

Wait, I have 3 ports on that thing? I never turn it around and look, I just line up against my gamepad dongle for adding a cable for charging. Huh. Guess I’ll have to look lol.

That’s okay, I’ll stand in for the pineapple pizza weird.

“Hacker” when the password could be guessed by an elementary student. Jfc.

Yep, I know the writing was on the wall ever since they announced Silicon. While annoyed at the time, getting out from under Intel’s thumb was probably the right choice, and they’re way more powerful machines as a result. Still not a fan of Apple myself, but wanting to do it themselves is respectable.

I haven’t seen a TWAIN error in at least 20 years.

Yes, it’s absolutely a hellscape out there right now. It was bad before, with poorly written requirements and unknowing HR depts, but now applications can be instantly rejected, including when they were suitable candidates.

Good luck!

It can definitely be difficult to find jobs without having a degree, but they do exist. A lot of the time you’ll have to start at the lowest level and work your way up, but knowledge is knowledge and that would be apparent in your performance. Unfortunately because a lot online job applications are now filtered by AI, you may run into issues just getting an interview. Only thing I can suggest is mass-applying to several places and see what gets you a response.

Either way, if you do have a desire to learn and show that in an interview, it’ll always be a positive.

And a quick edit: don’t forget to look at public school districts or other local public offices for IT job, they’re usually needing additional help.
