Same reason a remote control is handy for a TV — convenience.
Motion or presence sensing. Timers. Virtual buttons. Physical buttons in places I wouldn’t normally have them. Garage door opening automagically when I pull in the driveway with a specific vehicle. Etc.
Plus I get to check in on my kitty from far away.
OP — Plex is a step easier, as Plex brokers the connection. No reverse proxy. The same plus in this case can also be seen as a minus.
I’m still on the Plex bus, and it’s good for me and friends. Jellyfin will get there one day, but right now it’s just not quite feature complete enough for my use cases.
This echo chamber gets LOUD, too!
When I read this, I feel like I’m reading my grandfather’s email forwards from the early 00’s.
Well, yeah, I did say everything ;-)
Everything in moderation.
Similar boat. I’m still on the Plex train, but otherwise I share the same story and recommendation.
It’s not an easy bake oven. Try one out. It also does vegetables and chicken, if you’re not just into eating brown.
Ours is medium sized and is great for dinner-for-2.
You ever suck dick for nicotine?
And a smaller volume capacity. I finally grabbed an air fryer and we use it most days. I didn’t expect to like or use it so much.
Imagine it? Living it.
It’s these types of moves that get me workin’ my way out of an ecosystem. I’ve already been strongly considering not-a-Mac as my next laptop.
I made the move from gsuite to Zoho mail, and wish I hadn’t.
I notice incoming mail delays several times a year. Support hasn’t been super helpful on that or other issues — I ask to provide or review logs and I get a run around.
Their support of exchange active sync is half baked in my experience, too.
As a pro, it’s reasonably priced and the native interface is ok. You can trial them for free, but don’t expect to catch all the cons in that period.
This dude hasn’t wrapped with the good shit. Serious creases. No unexpected rips. Scissors glide smoothly for the cut.
Spend a few extra bucks and be a wrap god.
I haven’t tested it, but the info text suggests that you can work around the auth issue by adding your subnet to “List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth“ (found in Plex Settings > Network).
I haven’t run into a memorable problem before using Plex in spotty internet areas (while in an RV) or when moving (before internet). But I’ll probably test this setting out one of these days, just in case.
Had a few ideas for ya:
2 coins
A fake AirTag
A couple pieces of chiclets gum
Coiled wire or string
Fresh air (or a fart), in a tiny ziploc bag
A tiny hair doll
Two very tiny hair dolls
Let me know if you need any more!
Don’t forget that sunscreen can be expensive depending on your destination. Going to a family or friends house and the beach? NBD. Flying to Cancun and into a resort? That on prem sunscreen is gonna cost ya mucho dinero compared to BYO.
To add, logic unfortunately doesn’t really help illogical fears.
I prefer to dice and soak in cold water first to get rid of that excess starch. Saving cook time is a win for me.
It’s fast food. Not wait-for-surge-pricing-to-come-down food.
