Right?

Something this old is going to be power inefficient compared to newer stuff, and simply not perform as well.

I would know, I just booted up a 10 year old consumer router last night, because the current one died. It'll be OK for a few days until I can get a replacement. Boy, is this thing slow.

Good points.

Also, SSD isn't always necessarily more power efficient than spinning disks. It depends on the specific disks, and the use-case.

I've seen a table posted on Lemmy with data on different drive power consumption for idle, Read, and write. Sometimes SSD consumed more power.

But hey, I am sure it will be completely different this time.

Exactly.

Where was the topic change?

If anything, you're the one being disingenuous.

"Pointing out what a moron this guy was is not the same thing as agreeing with Nintendo's shitty legal practices."

We know what these corporations will do, they've been very clear about it.

At a minimum don't go advertising that you're copying their roms and selling them. This guy advertised to the world who he is and what he was doing.

Is Nintendo still shitty? Yes. But geez, don't make it blindingly easy to figure out who you are.

Cool, didn't know about Dino, thanks!

While I despise all these hackers these days, I feel like these companies deserve it, for their utterly non-existent data handling protocols.

Cell tracking is external to the phone. It's done by the towers - they know signal strength, and by using known tables of that data, cell providers know pretty accurately where your phone is.

To block this you'd need a device that lacks any cellular technology whatsoever. Wifi only.

And that has the same issues, especially with companies like Comcast/Xfiniti using their cable modems to track all the devices around them, even if you don't connect to them.

Texting uses http over the data channel for MMS.

Config Jellyfin to run as a service when you install.

Windows supports this.

I'm pretty sure I read a post years ago about how to run Jellyfin as a service (I think it's even documented on the website).

It already runs as a headless service that you access via a browser, so you just have to configure an actual Windows Service.

I just checked - installing as a service is part of the installer, right on the Jellyfin website.

My favorite is being provided a solution but with absolutely no context or how the solution addresses the root cause.
