They are pieces of shit but for the price it’s actually pretty decent. $30 is the price of a couple McDonalds meals. We used to buy them for the kid to use since it didn’t really matter if it got destroyed. I also bought a new one to use as a smart home touch interface but I haven’t quite finished that due to ADHD and too many projects.
I’ve seen this at Disneyland. People walking around using a fucking tablet to record videos like people do with selfie sticks.
Same. I used to make fun of them as they’re ‘too big’ for mobile stuff but too small for computer stuff, but after getting a killer deal on a Tab S7+, it’s super useful for casual games, watching youtube/plex, drawing, and web browsing. It’s also great to use in the kitchen while cooking or doing other stuff
Probably the worst thing would be if they both walked to the middle of the stage and started 69ing each other before announcing that they’re partnering up and running together for the 2024 ticket as co-presidents.
You say you’re not tuned in to any of this yet you’re here talking about it and have presumably read through the comments to know the context. This is like peak redditor energy.
How ableist of you to assume that we could read your reply.
What kind of speakers? I recently got some Klipsch home audio that have removable grilles. The look with the grille off definitely looks better if you don’t have kids and stuff IMO. I’ve also recently bought some Pioneer for my truck and they too came with optional grilles though I didn’t need them since they went behind the door panels.
Literally anything we do is harmful.
Black Friday is definitely a good option. I’ll also point out that WD and Seagate are working on 20TB-30TB drives that should be coming out in the next couple of years which should, in theory, drive the prices down further for smaller capacity drives.
If you go to canyouseeme.org and test your Plex port does it show as open?
Your new ISP might have CG-NAT meaning you don’t get your own IPv4 address and can’t be connected to directly.
Also stream a movie from your phone while connected to cellular data and then check that stream on the Plex admin screen to see what it says. IIRC the Plex Relay is fixed at 1mbps
But we’re people not machines.
I was going to comment the same excitement to someone else who used it above but couldn’t think of a good way to phrase it without sounding mildly bigoted.
It looks like broccoli and potatoes but it’s probably cilantro and… potatoes?
Imagine being in that line of work and having to tell people you’re a “snake oil salesman.”
Toyota does an “angel hum” sound on their hybrids.
Jake from State Farm?
I’m not sure as I’ve always stuck to WD drives. You should be able to Google the model + “shuck” and see if anyone else has done it. I know certain models either solder the controller to the drive or add it internally so that there’s no standard SATA port.
The larger clients should work the same as the micro sized ones, but don’t expect to get much more use out of them than maybe being able to store a drive internally as they’re typically full of proprietary connectors and stripped down motherboards. I’d only bother with one if you can buy it cheaper than one of the micro sized options like the Optiplex 3050
The Define series of cases from Fractal are also an excellent option. I have 9 HDD and a 5.25" optical drive in mine (Define R6) with room to spare and the whole thing is silent.
Maybe it’s best if I just hook up some USB drives to my Pi and get my hands dirty with that. If the performance is not too bad (like you said).
Just do this and grow as you learn. If you buy WD Easystore/Elements/MyBook external drives, they can be very easily removed from their enclosures later and installed internally.
The only caveat here is that a Pi is going to be terrible for Jellyfin unless you only download media that is 100% compatible with the devices you’re watching it on. If any transcoding is needed, the Pi won’t keep up. A NUC or Optiplex Micro might work better here as they both have full-fledged PC hardware and aren’t too much more than a Pi.
I had this one and the upgraded one since we were too poor to buy a real PC. It worked decent for web browsing at the time and I spent a lot of time in IRC chat rooms. I think (may have been later on a real PC) I even started doing Geocities/Tripod/Angelfire pages on this and learning basic HTML.
