kieron115@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish1·1 month agooh okay, interesting. well, you could always use the web browser on your phone/ipad i guess. not a great experience but i know for a fact that plex works on ios in chrome at the very least.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish2·1 month agoPlex has pretty bad DV “support” as an example. AFAIK it will only play back dolby vision profiles that have the HDR10 compatibility mode or whatever. Any time I get an older DV file I have to play it through some Android TV app.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish9·1 month agoEase of setup was how I just got one techie friend and two non-techie gamer friends to set up Plex servers and we had libraries shared to each other within 15-30 minutes. I don’t want to think about explaining VPNs and SSL to them for the alternatives.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish4·1 month agoPlex still offers that option, it’s just buried in the settings.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish7·1 month agoi’m not sure why it would do this, i’ve never had any issues with watching plex while the internet is down (in fact that was one of my original uses for it, to have movies and tv in a building without internet). I don’t have it turned on but I do know you can go into server settings -> network and set a list of IPs/subnets that can access without any authorization at all. That lets you use plex without even having a plex account afaik.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish8·1 month agoAs a techie I hate this answer but it’s hard to beat a Roku with Plex from an ease of use standpoint. My 70+ year old parents have no problem navigating it.

kieron115@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Tencent Designated as a Chinese Military Company by USEnglish3·4 months agoSeriously! I know that BLUF is a thing but do that many people seriously not read past the first line before feeling the need to correct someone on the internet? @ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca as a fellow member of the human race let me formally thank you for forming a question, seeking out information that either confirms or denies your question, and informing everyone else who may have had the same misconception.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•FTC launches probe of Microsoft over bundlingEnglish17·4 months agoI agree that cybersecurity features should be included. In fact I think they should be included for free. The problem is that Microsoft wanted to charge the Department of Defense and it sounds like they used politics to make sure they could, and if true then they (and maybe also the DoD?) may have violated some federal laws around government procurement and “gifts” from contractors to the government.

They were talking about it in the context of the diskless xbox that just released. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/how-to-transfer-content-licenses/7ac76f4e-c7e4-4153-8824-1e424478b02d

kieron115@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Baldur's Gate 3 publishing chief calls out Ubisoft's 'broken strategy': If gamers need to get used to not owning games, 'developers must get used to not having jobs'English2·6 months agoYeah that’s more comparable. I was mostly just trying to state the difference between ownership and a perpetual license but I’m thinking I oversimplified lol.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Baldur's Gate 3 publishing chief calls out Ubisoft's 'broken strategy': If gamers need to get used to not owning games, 'developers must get used to not having jobs'English2·6 months agoOh yeah, I understand. I was just trying to describe the difference between ownership and a perpetual license in overly simplified terms. Also, can you think of any examples of digital goods that retain first sale doctrine? With physical disks at least a second hand market still exists for that very reason, but I can’t think of any digital media that allow resale. I would love to be wrong!

If having perpetual access to a product is enough then yes. But we aren’t allowed to, say, disassemble a game and use it’s assets to make something of our own. As opposed to say a spoon. Nobody can tell me how I can and can’t use my spoon.

“The bypass uses a CXH (cloud experience host) URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) string during the OOBE to invoke the hidden local account setup screen.” this had to be data mined or something yeah.
