You will own nothing and you will be happy.

hard drives and SSDs don’t count as physical

When was the last time you walked into any store and bought a feature length film or tv show on hard drive or SSD?

Even on a streaming service, the files are stored physically somewhere.

What is your plan when the licence agreement for your favorite series expires on your chosen streaming service and no other streaming service picks up the show?

All media is still, technically, physical media

No one is arguing this. You’re making the strawman arguement. The not-so-subtle undertone of the article is clear.

Quoting the article:

The planned job cuts come amid a decline in demand for traditional storage formats such as Blu-ray discs, with streaming services now the norm.

…

The electronics and entertainment conglomerate will also gradually cease production of optical disc storage media products, including Blu-ray discs, according to the sources.

You will not be allowed to legally own tv shows or films and you should learn to like it. As I can tell from many of the other comments here, not many of us are fans of that idea.

It needs to be at least 3 times bigger

I know very little about ipv6, but CGNAT is Carrier Grade Network Address Translation.

NAT (Network Address Translation) is how your home router takes your one public IP address and is able to simultaneously allow your phone, your PlayStation, and your smart fridge use the internet.

CGNAT is basically the same thing expect on a much larger scale and controlled by you ISP.

“why dont you fly everywhere?”

“Its exhausting. Why dont you run everywhere?”

The apple tv looks good. But can I put software of my choosing on it and will I be able to do everything on the apple tv if I dont have other apple devices?

I just wanted to say good luck. We’re all counting on you.

Its an entirely different kind of IP theft

They can’t be lost, they’re on instruments up there!

This post is enbiggening my horizons

Absolutely. Hugh Jefferies on youtube has done a number of videos over the years demonstrating this.

“250 symmetrical”, but my router usually reports around 270ish each way. Recently moved somewhere with fiber to the home.

Previously the cable co I was with kept sending notifications that they had “upgraded” my service. I went from like 100mbps down to like 300 down with them, but they never changed the 10mbps up…

Line must go up.

No company is your friend.

let others connect to that.

I would be surprised if that happened. As we learned in the Apple v. Epic case (we all suspected before hand but was confirmed) Apple has kept I message closed so that parents wouldn’t “buy cheaper android phones for their kids”.

scripture says the soul enters at its first breath.

Do you remember where this is said? I grew up in a church and remember a lot of the rhetoric about how sacred life is and blah blah blah, but I don’t specifically remember that part. I’d say knowing that scripture would help me convince people that their views are incorrect, but let’s be real, these people don’t want their minds changed.

Best alternative to plexamp I’ve found is Symfonium. It supports plex, jellyfin, subsonic and possibly others.

I’ve been rocking a first gen X1 Yoga (6th gen intel) for like 5-6 years, three or so of those years I’ve been using Pop!_OS and its been pretty good. I suspect that a 6th gen intel may be a little lacking for your uses, just to say that most ThinkPads will be good.

The snap version of nextcloud has been pretty solid for me, except for the time that I installed the nextcloud backup app.

Gotta keep using it to keep that sweet sweet copyright active
