That shit happens, that’s almost exactly how one of my grandparents died but minus the whistleblower part.

I wouldn’t point to state constitutions there’s probably a few that do say that.

It’s not well know but Isaac Asimov’s fourth law of robotics is actually ACAB.

I can’t believe they let her compete in the women’s pageant circuit, now dudes are going to claim they’re women just to get an easy pageant win. This is a terrible day for America. /S

I have never seen a Chicago style hot dog in person but that’s apparently just relish but with blue food coloring added

You’re telling me you don’t want to be a veterinarian for wild animals?

It should be noted this is true for almost the entirety of the United States.

Joe Biden is paying on x videos? Is this the new whitehouse.com?

Thanks for believing in me child.

Piracy has never been theft, it has always been and still remain copyright infringement. That being said go ahead and pirate, I’m not your dad.

I didn’t even know jellyfin had hw transcode till this post but I’m with this guy, Intel’s qsv is great. I have my plex server running bare metal on an gen 2 HP chromebox. It’s dual core but hw transcode with Intel QSV will do like 20+ 1080p streams.

I’ve had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday train!

Last I heard they were doing pretty well, I think the government is supposed to be in power for around 1,000 years.

Cool good to know, I saw a model 3 in a home Depot parking lot recently when it was raining and it looked like the driver was having all kinds of issues with their car. I kind of wonder if it was the same thing.

I think Elon tweeted something about the cyber truck being water proof enough to be used as a boat once, I don’t know if anything was said about the rest of their cars.

This is the way I went, I got the tiny form factor versions of a Lenovo and Dell business desktops for about 100 bucks each. If you get lucky you can find real good deals on these things most will take a 2.5" drive as well as a m.2 drive, and they’ll fit upwards of 32 or 64gb of ram depending on the device.

I agree something isn’t right, I have Plex on an HP Chromebook G2 with a Celeron 3865U, it’s a 1.8ghz dual core without HT, and I had it doing like 15-20 1080p streams during testing. Quick sync is amazing.

4s were pretty easy to find pre 2020, I bought one at launch and 2 more before the pandemic hit and I never paid more than MSRP for any of them.

Yeah there was a bootloader update a few years ago, it might be only for 3 and newer, but it enables booting from USB and the network.

Just be real careful with the chromebox, an lot of them can’t run Linux and are pretty low specs so I wouldn’t want try putting everything I want to run on them. The CPU in HP gen 2 one I have is just a dual core without hyper threading. I would only even look into the a Chromebox if your thinking about Plex pass and hardware transcoding.

Also should be noted anything bought used your not paying for a Windows license though most the SFF boxes come with windows license baked into the bios.
