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 Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish31·1 month agoI’m pretty sure that’s corporate speak for “we need to drive plex pass subscriptions more so we need to lock more feature behind it.”
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Do you know an open source TV app for Android TV so Google cannot push its shit?English3·3 months agoOh wow, that sounds highly inconvenient. I wish it was as easy to re-flash android TVs as it is to re-flash android phones. Best of luck, and keep us updated if you find a solution!
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Do you know an open source TV app for Android TV so Google cannot push its shit?English3·3 months agoI’ve never used the tuner/TV part of my sony x900f, only HDMI inputs and apps. Is google pushing ads to live tv now?
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Star Trek TNG Theme but the theme is coming from the Enterprise-D 🤣English16·3 months agoBroadcasting your own theme song while jetting around the galaxy in the flagship of the Federation is possibly the biggest Riker move I’ve ever seen hahahaha.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Change my mind: SNW, SFA should fire their music departments and replace them with Chris Westlake!!! 😉English1·3 months agolol I was gonna try and continue the joke but i went to look up the lyrics and this amused the shit out of me. It’s apparently more popularly known as “that song from star trek enterprise” than as a rod stewart song!
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Death is a social constructEnglish2·4 months agoThank you for taking the time to respond, I realized very quickly that I am FULLY out of my depth with this conversation haha. You all are very thoughtful and knowledgeable.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Death is a social constructEnglish1·4 months agoIt’s fascinating seeing the responses to this from you all who obviously know a lot about philosophy. Coming at it from a layman’s perspective, and not really knowing who David Hume was, the science definitions bit was all I could really understand and I interpreted it the way that you say it could have been written. I’m now wondering if just placed my own preconceptions about the bits that I did understand onto the author without really considering the rest.
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Death is a social constructEnglish1·4 months agoThat’s fair. But the idea of approaching the universe from a standpoint of not being able to truly “know” is kind of the basis of all science isn’t it? We can have evidence of something, maybe even enough evidence to make reliable, repeatable predictions in the context of our infinitely short existences, but it will forever and always be transient knowledge. Nothing in the universe is static and unchanging forever.

Lt. Cmdr. Data: “Sir, our sensors are showing this to be the absence of everything. It is a void without matter or energy of any kind.”
Commander Riker: “Yet this hole has a form, Data; it has height, width…”
Lt. Cmdr. Data: “Perhaps. Perhaps not, Sir.”
Captain Picard: “That’s hardly a scientific observation, Commander.”
Lt. Cmdr. Data: “Captain, the most elementary and valuable statement in science, the beginning of wisdom, is, “I do not know”. I do not know what that is, Sir.”
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Death is a social constructEnglish3·4 months agoClearly she just hadn’t had her coffee yet! On a serious note though I have to agree with @[email protected]. The evolving definition of “medical death” as more of a logistical necessity than anything is something that I never really thought about before.

kieron115@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•NY woman who used to own "NCC-1701" license plate ticketed thousands of dollars because of cars with Star Trek novelty plates going through traffic cameras.English1·4 months ago“lopsided” font plate was almost a badge of honor back in the day lol because it meant that you had a front mount intercooler that needed air (and if you did the offset plate without an FMIC you were ridiculed endlessly for being a buffoon)
This is a very good point. We’re supposed to be seeing how he becomes the Kirk we know.
