I got a huge reduction in random login attempts when I changed my ssh port away from the default.

(Of course I also have actual security measures like log in by key only)

When done well it greatly expands the game’s replayability.

When done poorly it feels bland and boring.

Hydrophobic coating loosely means a thin water proof coating on a material that otherwise isn’t waterproof.

Example: the previously mentioned popcorn bags are paper based but with a thin plastic based coating. (Historically we used to use wax for this kind of thing but in the modern day it’s almost always plastic)

Not that containers made of glass, ceramic, or metals that don’t corrode don’t need and typically don’t have hydrophobic coatings.

It’s still there, buried in the settings. TBF I wouldn’t expect them to remove it, because some people probably do use it.

No.

The “all browsers are iOS reskin” thing is browsers must use WebKit for JavaScript and rendering, which are the two biggest parts of a browser. WebKit is a library of code distributed as part of the iOS SDK. However, Safari adds more on top of WebKit, including its plugin API. Installing plugins into iOS Safari wont affect anything just using WebKit because they aren’t using the Safari plugins code.

In theory Firefox could implement its own plugins system for iOS, but it would more limited than the normal Firefox plugin system for other devices, and also they might run into policy issues with Apple (this policy about 3rd party browsers is part of a broader policy against side loading, which has in the past prevented things like emulators and programming apps into the App Store. They have recently started loosening up on their anti-side loading policies, however).

The environmental toll doesn’t have to be that bad. You can get decent results from single high-end gaming GPU.

I’ve played the first one briefly. I don’t remember being able to play other characters. I remember the worst part being the combat system was an absolute slog. The later Witcher games don’t have great combat systems either, but it’s at least improved with each generation.

I might go back and play the older witchers eventually but I still haven’t finished Witcher 3 despite like 200 hours in it.

While selling data in general is shitty, I want to push back on the fear mongering a little bit.

This only applies to new accounts, can be opt-out of, and doesn’t apply to self-hosted content.

So if you are doing nothing wrong you have nothing to hide?

I use a good chunk of the paid PlexAmp features, although I agree they are mostly just extras.

However, Downloads is a must-have IMO. I often listen to music while traveling, e.g. on a plane or train or on a road trip, and cell service is unreliable in those situations.

Also just getting bombarded by ads to upgrade would be enough for me to consider the product a “free trial”, although tbf I don’t know how bad PlexAmp is about that.

Ah neat, it used to require PlexPass to use the app at all. Now it only requires PlexPass for most of the app, including some pretty basic features like downloads.

Still, it is nice that there’s some level of “free trial” for it.

To be clear I love PlexAmp and use it as my main audio player, but I’ve paid for a plex lifetime pass.

You do need to pay for plexamp

The annoying thing about the dupe policy is sometimes the answer does change and the accepted answer to the existing question is from 5 years ago.

I tried jellyfin but it isn’t even close to as a good as plex

It’s just as true a statement to say each of those 0 people at a billion slices of pie.

However, with these types of word problems, there’s usually the implication that the pie is now gone. There’s kind of a problem figuring out where the pie went when nobody ate any pie.

The only announced Nintendo games that are Switch 2 exclusive are Mario Kart, Kirby Air Ride sequel, and the new Donkey Kong

I got nitro for higher audio quality so I could stream background music while running a DnD campaign over discord.

It also increases your streaming resolution and file upload size limit which is quite useful.

It also lets you use emojis from any server in any other server, which isn’t “useful” but is fun and I do it all the time.

For these 3 things I think it’s worth it. It’s worth noting I have a grandfathered Nitro plan that is more features than “Nitro Basic” but less features than the next tier at a cost that’s in between.

The real enshitification I’m worried about is the gradually increasing prevalence of ads in increasingly prominent places.

That’s not an outlandish amount of storage. You can get more than that for $200.
