It doesn’t waste their time. They are getting paid by the hour. As long as you are friendly it doesn’t hurt anyone to give a wrong phone number to get a discount.

They stopped that years ago. I refused to buy one until it worked without Facebook.

Yes the split personality was fine. It was the last season where there’s child Elliot split personality and, mom split personality. And no, they weren’t in Season 1.

Esmail went down the Ronald Moore path where he had an idea but lied to the audience that he had a plan. Again first season was perfect but I don’t think Esmail expected it to be such a success and quickly had to fill in extra seasons with mystery boxes.

I disagree. First season was perfect. But then it went downhill into unresolved Lost mystery boxes. The last episode of the last season itself was great but Esmail had no idea how to fill out the episodes of the last season to get there.

He was throwing around split personalities like Ronald Moore threw around Cylons. The time machine story went nowhere despite a multi season build up.

Yes and no. Networks had ads but cable began inserting their own ads in addition to the network ads. When I ran a company I did large media buys with cable companies. I would buy ads from the regional cable company which would air in between the national ads of Comedy Central, Discovery, etc.

It’s about Chappelle and Ellen having comedy specials on Netflix where they talk about being cancelled.

then it’s a TON more equipment,

Then why isn’t it sent to Ukraine?

plus a TON more troops.

Ukraine has said they need supplies, not troops.

That doesn’t make any logical sense. You say it’s a financial strain to send equipment and propose sending NATO in to help. Where is NATO getting their equipment from?

ITS THE SAME EQUIPMENT.

Have you helped an older relative with computer problems over the phone?

If you could set the default, it wouldn’t be a problem.

No, it’s in the Urals

My biggest complaint is that it defaults to “recommended” instead of “library” which means for new users (family members you are trying to help remotely) don’t see the videos in your collection but instead a random unordered list to scroll sideways.

After you select library to see everything, it doesn’t save that view as default unless you go into settings and change it to remember changes.

A new annoying feature they added is when setting up a new account, the default is to send every video you watch to all friends/family unless you select disable. So you can’t even setup quickly by putting in a user/password and being ready to go. You have to talk family members through setup or everyone with access to your Plex will get email spammed with everything that person watched.

I have home videos on my server and this means lengthy phone calls to family so they can actually see the videos.

I hate jingoistic bullshit. 3days? How many years were we in Afghanistan?

Ukraine troops are battle hardened and have NATO tanks and weapons. They are holding on but territory changes are tiny. Modern war isn’t WW2 blitzkrieg.

Occupying Moscow is like occupying DC. The politicians will fly to safety and you are left occupying a city of low level administrative personnel and restaurants. Nothing of military value is manufactured in Moscow just like DC.

Plex will do anything other than make their player easy to use.

That’s why I preallocate the max memory I will need just like I was taught to do in Fortran. You can’t leak what you don’t have.

I used it just last week to find the manual for my 20 year old VCR.

Alcohol is a drug. Jesus made more drugs for everyone when they ran out at a party.

I’d been hearing a lot about NixOS so I did a VM install. It wanted me to setup my own partitions manually without even giving preset sane defaults like I was back in 1994 installing Slackware.

Nope. My OS is a tool, not a lifestyle.

I have a Gmail for all important emails that’s my real name. I’m very careful to only use it for important things. I never use it for online orders of any sort.

Not mine. I only know of him from my son.

My feeds are all techy stuff. Cherno, level 1 techs, Adam Savage, and lots of Dragonball shorts.
