Wake me up when Valve has an app store on Android that leverages the FEX translation layer to run my Steam library. Gamehub and Gamenative are not my favorite.

If there was a viable Windows Lite, wouldn’t everyone just use that?

A 5mm Allen wrench was taken from me in Istanbul. The 4mm was ok, he looked at both, but the 5 could be dangerous. They were THE EXACT SAME SIZE. Standard L-shape

Evaporated is ‘used’. It’s arguably more ‘used’ than it is when it goes down the sewer to local wastewater treatment, as that water is often put back into groundwater through infiltration fields. Depleting aquifers is the main concern of data center water usage.

Who are they expecting to sell stuff to if everyone is unemployed and fighting over an ever decreasing piece of the pie?

I already own a lifetime Plex pass, so I have no reason to stop using it. They are high thinking that anyone will pay $750 for lifetime. I paid under $100 but frankly I would have paid more, I use it every day. I’m glad that the devs there were able to get paid and provide for their families while making Plex. Plex works incredibly well for me and my family, I will use it for as long as I am able to.

I struggle to understand why JF users seem to want Plex users to convert so badly. I used JF for a while but things are great on Plex. If I thought JF was better I would switch and my metadata is well prepared for the day I need to.

Microsoft and game devs facing the reality of having to do more with the same hardware rather than speed running hardware obsolescence.

Googled it: Proton operates under a unique hybrid model. Its core services (such as Proton Mail and Proton VPN) are run by a for-profit Swiss corporation, Proton AG, but the primary voting shareholder is the non-profit Proton Foundation.

This structure was designed to permanently put people before profits and protect the company from hostile takeovers or venture capital control. While the foundation ensures the company never deviates from its privacy-first mission, Proton AG must remain profitable to be fully independent and self-sustaining without relying on subsidies.

Yeah I think you said it better. If I boycotted every company that employs one person I disagree with I would be self hosting everything. Proton represents the best in privacy-focused non-Google/Microsoft hosted email and productivity services. There are numerous reasons that we should want to see them succeed if even just to take some market share from Google.

Proton pass has been fine for me. I don’t care that the one Proton guy said the one thing that time, I’m out of energy and it’s good enough.

Same here, JF is on reserve but I’ll be sad if I ever need to switch. Ever since they fixed downloads I have 0 major complaints. Plex just works, and it works very well for my and my family’s needs. I am perfectly happy paying once for software that I use every single day.

Bitlocker is computer drive encryption. On W11 it’s supposed to be tied to the motherboards TPM. End to end encryption is not really applicable in this scenario. That phrase is more applicable to cloud services or storage where a telecom or CSP hosts or transports your data but can’t see what the data is.

Microsoft should not have the keys to decrypt Bitlocker ever.

I feel you on the UI changes, I’ve definitely noticed the extra clicks, and there is also a bit of a weird pattern when navigating between the main content area and the top bar where the selector wants to go to the left navigation pane.

I still feel fortunate every time I open up Plex that it exists, and I’m sure that their devs hear enough criticism on the internet that I try to leave something positive for them to find. So until the day that Plex operates anything close to the miserable experience that is a Roku in 2026, I’ll keep using it. I maintain perfect metadata and file naming for just that day.

I feel like there are a lot of people who hate on Plex here, but for me it’s really been super solid so I always try to advocate for it. JF wasn’t for me. Buy once/use forever, great capable interface, great apps (downloads work perfectly now), and I never need to fiddle with it. I replace a Synology package every few weeks when they release a new version and it just keeps ticking.

I paid $89 for it on sale, and I’d definitely groan if I had to pay $250 for it today, but I’d still pay it. I’m just glad they’re paying hardworking folks to make the software I’ve used EVERY DAY for years. It’s the buy-once-cry-once model we wished every other software vendor would go back to.

Very frustrating, I remember a similar experience, the command seemed to only show wakes caused by a device like mouse or wake on LAN.

If you still have the machine, check those scheduled tasks (like UpdateOrchestrator tasks) and uncheck “Wake the computer to run this task” in its Conditions tab, or globally disable Wake Timers in Power Options

On Mac you can disable what they call power nap to stop this.

I had a series of issues with my old tower that kept waking up and it was very frustrating.

Just curious, did you do a powercfg /lastwake to see what woke it from suspend? For me I think it ended up being a scheduled task, something like Adobe updater, though I don’t remember exactly.

Not everything you don’t like is a bot. I learned something new today that DP supports audio and feel a bit foolish for not knowing that before now, though I stand by my personal experience with the connector. Between work and home, it’s always the DP that flicker at the slightest tap.

Two considerations: Displayport doesn’t support audio, and there is no connector on the planet more frustrating and unreliable than DisplayPort. It’s like a joke how sensitive it is to the lightest bump. HDMI just works.

I back this viewpoint also. I’m not sure how Rebble could justify indefinitely charging for access to apps that they scraped from Pebble. Eric’s response satisfied me that Core is not morally wrong. Some people are so willing to have a knee jerk reaction.
