They are expensive up front. I have one of the first 11th generation Intel ones. I bought a new CPU fan last year instead of getting a new laptop. One of my kids dropped it, and I’ll need a new screen for it here soon.

Instead of buying 3 laptops, I bought 1 and repaired it. Super worth it.

There are plenty of people with solar panels and wells. The beauty of the internet and mobile compute is having the wealth of human knowledge at your fingertips. It’s DIY, but easy. Just Google it (RIP Google). If the goal is centralization and control, chat with IBM. They have their place, but it was a slow crawl out of the muck they put themselves in. Someone will always come along and realize that ease and accessibility are key to the end user, and they’ll kick your whole business out from under you, every time.

Because manifesto gets type-cast as crazy.

Ha! I have a Framework 13 from their first run. It’s my only real gripe with it. Downward firing speakers are dumb on a laptop.

I have both and run them side by side through Docker in UNRaid, but Jellyfin hardly ever gets used unless there is a problem with Plex and I don’t feel like fixing it immediately. I’ve had the Plex lifetime pass for forever.

I have young kids and really like Plex’s system for moderating content for their accounts. I’ve never explored this on Jellyfin though. As a person with crappy laptop speakers, subtitles are important to me. Plex does subtitles better than Jellyfin in my experience.

Somewhere a middle manager at KODAK Ford is talking about how they can corner the market on 35mm film bloated trucks.

So many people are ragging on this guy, but they don’t understand what it’s like to have 131 middle managers sing you happy birthday before they go splurge their per diem on two mai tai’s and try to get the waitress, who’s actually your daughter’s age, to drink one.

Worst part is I paid for it years ago. Now I have to pay again? Nope. Great while it lasted, but it’s buggy garbage now.
