Are you me? Swap a Windows daily driver for a Mac instead and our experiences are basically identical.

I went with a 920+ but I’m also running a server on an Asus mini PC running Ubuntu to split the load for transcoding because I’ve got a lot of remote users now.

Plenty here are answering your question more directly so I’m going to answer it in a different way. I’m a 40 year old American by the way.

While we all would have learned about Nazi Germany and the rise of the Third Reich in school the depth will vary by state and type of schooling (public vs. private).

The most important thing, however, is to remember that it would have been taught from an American-centric perspective. For example, there wouldn’t have been much detail covered in all likelihood prior to WWII with the depth increasing greatly to its highest point where the US became involved in the war.

Basically, all history in US primary education is is essentially US history. It’ll cover global events in general terms but really only goes into detail when it involves the US.

I run into you again! This time I get to wholeheartedly agree with you! You are spot on and nailed it.

I use Plex for exactly the reasons you said because when I set it up I didn’t know anything about self hosting a media server and I wanted to share with family in other locations. I keep it because it’s so easy for my older, less tech savvy family members to access so I don’t have to be their support person for it.

I’d consider Jellyfin if the end user access was more plug and play.

The biggest thing about this is I don’t get why OP is so annoyed. If you have a Plex Pass you’re not impacted, you can still share and your users can still access your library for free, they can’t share with you without a Plex Pass but who cares.

Does it not display correctly for you?

Didn’t see it and it deserves to be named:

Shoot ‘Em Up

One reviewer called it “the closest thing to a live action Bugs Bunny movie we’ll ever get!”

What’s the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?

Maybe, but I don’t really need it. I’ve got a 2U box mounted in the basement with a Synology DS920+ w/ 48Tb in SHR2 and a mini Asus running Ubuntu doing my heavy lifting.

assuming you aren’t on Windows

This is the tough part.

I had a 2011 MacBook Pro sitting around some years ago I had upgraded from and I offered it to my brother for his kids to use because of the built in child controls they could setup. He just told me a few weeks ago they were done with it and asked me if I could wipe it or tell him how to do it could be recycled.

I took it back, put Mint XFCE on it but I can’t give it away to anyone I know because it has Linux on it. I’ll probably get a display cable for it and run it as my torrent box.

everytime ppl hate murican corpos more

FYI, SONY is a Japanese multinational corporation.

US, Xfinity Mobile,$60 for 2 lines, unlimited talk, text and 5g data but you do have to have another Xfinity service to be able to buy their mobile.

Bingo. This was my take before I met my wife and early in our relationship. When it came time to talk about the future and we discussed marriage I asked what she wanted. For my part, I told her that I didn’t need a piece of paper from the government or a magic ceremony to commit myself to her fully.

She wanted a wedding and marriage and I wanted to give that to her. It was immediate family only, at home, with a retired judge performing a ceremony we wrote.

From a legal perspective it can be immensely more complicated long term and will almost certainly be financially more disadvantageous within the US system if you’re American to not be married.

Any kind of forced or mandated treatment for drug/alcohol users by law is wrong and punishing people for refusing treatment is also wrong.

I actually like vinegar by itself but it’s too potent to just drink it straight. Instead I’ll get a bunch of green onions and let them soak in the vinegar, then I suck the vinegar out of the green onions and enjoy the onion itself as a crunchy snack after.

I administer a tenant today that has given me plenty of understanding.

You’d never be able to tell. If this is true your “understanding” doesn’t show but I’ve seen some very dysfunctional organizations so I wouldn’t be surprised.

I am aware of telemetry, yes.

Even if we ignore your continued conflation of Word and Microsoft 365, I suspect you have nothing to support your assertion that Word transmits the content of your document files to Microsoft.

Realistically this whole exchange is moot. A medical providers use of patient data management software in no way constitutes a “release” of data to that software provider as the person I originally replied to seemed to think.

Perhaps you’ll have an opportunity to administer a tenant someday and that’ll give you a better understanding.

So I am not being willfully ignorant. I work with both daily.

Then you’re just being ignorant.

O365, which is actually Microsoft 365 now, is a suite of productivity software as well as collaboration and cloud-based services.

Word is a word processing program. They are not the same and use of Word does not equate to O365.

You should know this. Just like you should know that a business using a piece of software, such as a medical facility using Epic’s patient data management tools, does not equate to patient data being “released” to Epic.

Since you seem to be struggling with the concept perhaps a different example would be easier for you?

Just because you get an MRI doesn’t mean the data collected for the MRI is “released” to GE.

Yep. Specifically it’s because the flour is not generally sanitized/processed in any way that removes bacteria from the grain or the finished product.

Flour is traditionally only used as an ingredient and will through the cooking process experience heat high enough to kill any bacteria.

If you want to make safe cookie dough to eat raw at home just spread the flour on a sheet tray and toast it in the oven at ~200 degrees for something like 10 minutes. There’s specific directions online.

I want to show some love to B&H Photo. They’re one of my go to’s specifically for tech stuff.

I feel like people give up on in store if they can’t find it at a big box store and go to the online equivalent of a big box store (Amazon).

Anybody who puts in a little effort should be able to find a specialty store either in person or online.

I wasn’t having a discussion with them or you however when you present incorrect information or are intentionally obtuse I will call it out.

If you want to engage me on the original topic I can happily explain both how the concept that a medical provider is “releasing” data to a software vendor is wrong and how equating O365 and Word is wrong.

I imagine you’re too busy finding ways to be offended on someone else’s behalf and making light of recent terrorist acts though.

It does, your willful misinterpretation doesn’t change that.

I looked through your post history, you seem to have at least enough technical aptitude to understand that.

released to companies like mychart

What does this mean? MyChart is a software solution used by many medical providers. They don’t “release” medical information to them.

This would be like thinking someone using Office on their computer is “releasing” documents they create to Microsoft.
