It’s mother was shot by another person so He and another adopted the two orphaned kittens. One died uhhh in it’s sleep let’s say and the other survived.

Who shit in your cheerios this morning?

Not to say it wasn’t bad back then, but I live a pretty comfortable life and nursing a kitten would probably still be the best part of my day.

DOCIS 3.1 involves more than just speed. No point going over the speed limit if all the traffic lights are timed based on a certain speed. https://www.cablelabs.com/blog/how-docsis-3-1-reduces-latency-with-active-queue-management

If your provider has implemented it (Comcast is the only one i know of in north america) then Active Queue Management is a huge quality of life improvement that you won’t know you were missing unless you already had a router that implements queue management. https://www.cablelabs.com/blog/how-docsis-3-1-reduces-latency-with-active-queue-management

By default, WiFi Motion is set to detect even small amounts of movement in the motion-sensing areas, including motion caused by small pets.

holy shit lol

I live in Appalachia and people here regularly use ham for weather reports but that’s about it. If there was an actual emergency I assume that would be sent out as well.

Pretty sure it’s an owl nesting box.

Yeah, we have a barred owl living nearby that would absolutely love that box. She looks to be about the size of a large cat.

Hey, it could be stolen.

For sure. And then the one episode where they

i almost cried lol.

Do yourselves a favor and watch the Battlestar Galactica reboot from the 2000s. It’ll scratch that itch quite a bit, I promise.

You all don’t seem to understand, this is just the cost of progress!

On my Sony Bravia running Android you can just disable the Samba app from running same as you’d disable any app in Android.

Seriously. I hate when people assume default settings are the only option. You don’t even need a Plex account to set up Plex. It will just be less seamless and user friendly. Never adopt the server, configure these via localhost (ssh tunnel works) and then set up your networking. Don’t even need to update it, it will run for as long as the database stays stable. Which should be years or more.

For sure the quality will be worse than software but typically if I’m away from home I’m watching on an ipad and then you really can’t tell the difference.

Thank goodness, now I can defend my home against tyranny and people who look different than me with a pseudo-machine gun, just the way the Founding Fathers intended! (/s just in case)

EDIT: I meant QSV Gen 7, which would be intel Gen 11. Kaby Lake and up can still handle HEVC in hardware but they have to use software as well for 4K.

worth mentioning that any intel cpu with an iGPU from generation 7 (kaby lake) and up can handle 4k hevc transcode in hardware. i just upgraded my plex box to an i7 8700K and it works quite well. an old office workstation with like a 9th or 11th gen intel cpu would probably rip through transcodes.

aesthetics, i would guess. everyone has different tastes.

Caveat: I am not a programmer, just an enthusiast. Windows programs typically package all of the dependency libraries up with each individual program in the form of DLLs (dynamic link library). If two programs both require the same dependency they just both have a local copy in their directory.
