Yeah, I’m not really worried about it. I changed my password and moved on. It’s just that hackers have every reason to try and exploit Plex, while individual servers are hardly worth someone’s time and effort to go after when the payoff is maybe 1-2 usernames and emails
Ironically AI doesn’t have perfectly recall either, and that’s kind of one of the main problems with it and hallucinations. It can easily get poisoned by a handful of data points in it’s training set. But even then, it can only really blend 2 data points together, it’s got no ability to extrapolate and think outside the box.
I think you’re missing the point here a little. This bias towards being critical of where something is from is entirely justified. The reality is, there’s more gen AI content out there than ever before, and if you’re not questioning things constantly, things will slip past.
I’m viewing this kind of like a “phobia” vs a “fear”. If you’re genuinely in danger of being mislead by AI slop, then having a paranoia about it is perfectly rational.
If you have a static IP, or dynamic DNS set up, you can set up your own remote access with a reverse proxy like nginx. The nice thing is I get to use my own SSL certificate and all the actual streaming goes directly to my server, not through their proxies.
The only “hacky” part about it is that the Admin dashboard shows “Not available outside your network”, even though everything works perfectly.
The security thing is ironic because my personal Jellyfin server (nor anything else on it) has been hacked, but Plex itself has had their database leaked recently. It’s actually the main reason I switched because I don’t like their auth servers being a giant common target. (Also, technically it theoretically means Plex employees can just let themselves in to people’s private servers)
Those specs sound like HDMI 2 anyway. HDMI 2.1 can do 4K @ 144Hz with HDR. Or apparently even 10K @ 120Hz.
The adapters have circuity inside, they exist. It’s small enough to still just look like a cable because they fit the chip in a plug end.
Haha, I didn’t even realize but the resolution is actually identical. My first laptop was a min-spec Macbook gen 1 (first Intel CPU model). It’s the same 1280x800. The modern LCD (or OLED) on a Steam Deck looks way better obviously, and they’re different DPI, but the performance hit is identical.
That’s what I was saying with the .ttf file being copyright. It’s entirely possible to generate a new “program” that produces the same shapes while being a brand new uncopyrighted program. There’s an infinite number of ways to describe how to draw a shape, only the one in the original file is copyright.
What is this even licensing? You can’t copyright a typeface in Japan or the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_protection_of_typefaces#Japan
Technically the .ttf file could be copyright as a specific means to reproduce the typeface, but someone could just run it through something to copy the shapes and then there’s nothing to be licensed.
This is just nuts to me… My first laptop came with 512MB of RAM and only supported up to 2GB. They were still selling Macbook Pros with only 8GB of memory a year or two ago.
12GB SHOULD be enough to do everything, especially if it’s running a linux OS. But I guess we can’t have nice things because of memory hogs like Chrome.
Bring back Optane! I’m still using a couple PCIe cards in raid as my boot drive on my home server. The RAM versions of Optane were quite interesting too.
It entirely depends on what you’re doing with the computer. Sure people won’t notice a difference between a game running at 60 vs 70 fps, but that card is going to struggle with modern games. From a quick search it sounds like it will barely hit 60fps in Cyberpunk at min settings 1080p.
I’m sure your 10 year old card will have no problem playing 10 year old games. If that’s all you play, then you’re right, you don’t need to spend any more.
An RX 7600 vs RX 480 could be the difference between something running at stuttering 25 fps and something running at smooth 60 fps. Or it could be the difference between running on min quality vs high settings, it all depends on the workload.
Well, you get what you pay for. A $100-300 PC and a $500-750 PC are not really competing with each other when what you get is an order of magnitude faster with one of them.
A useful comparison would either try and match performance at a lower price, or match price at a higher performance.

Based on the news saying the Steam Machine should be roughly equivalent to an RX 7600, it’s going to be 2.5x faster than an RX480. I don’t really think that’s a comparable PC at all.
Considering they built the whole steam machine around the fan and cooling design, and they’re using the very latest CPU tech, I doubt any other mini PC would be able to complete on performance per volume. If the tiny size isn’t a requirement though, I’m sure there are slightly bigger builds that would be equivalent.
Instagram is also Meta, so it doesn’t look like anyone actually left Meta’s platform
There’s plenty of perfectly fine used vehicles that are old enough to have physical controls, but new enough to still have a reverse camera and Android Auto. Personally I’m not buying any new vehicle with a cellular modem.
Be careful, you might delete the database if it was designed by Tom.
AI has had very measureable negative effects on society in the last several years. Someone’s race doesn’t have any relation to if they’re good or bad, which is why being racist is irrational and stupid. It’s not the same argument.
In terms of art, it’s the difference between being critical of all art because AI slop is common in general (what I’ve been talking about as rational paranoia) vs only being critical of one specific style because you don’t like it and label all of it as bad AI (maybe the analogy for racism you’re talking about).
