+1 nice

I think adding another input method, is in general a good thing. Especially if it's essentially an invisible, optionally usable input device.

personally in my experience of touch screen laptops, the main uses of it have been :

1. google maps/maps . It's way nicer being able to touch the map, drag it around and pinch to zoom, instead of abstracted mouse and even worse on track pad.

2. excel / spreadsheet / pdf reading, it's nice to be able to just reach and drag the sheet around or scroll the document, . You can do this with your thumb, resting your arm . You literally extend your arm a further 2 inch then when its on the keyboard. no gorilla arm stuff.

3. music controls, or volume control. Waaaaaaay nicer to be able to hit play pause / stop next swipe the volume, than firstly waggling the pointer to find the cursor then moving and clicking and pause or whatever.

the mac drop down control centre at top right is top candidate for touch interaction.

particulary in the excel/text editor/ word / pdf example, being able to move the document around, at the same time as moving the mouse around is really nice for lots of reasons. I really wish computers would accept multiple mice and have multiple pointers for lots of things and this is a similar thing.

And, on the mac, being able to mirror iphone, but interact with touch will be really nice. Hopefully they can do a decent job and have multitouch etc

> This setup stresses me out because there's no extra space to connect anything else without losing functionality

Really? Dude if this stresses you just wait till you grow up, and face real problems and challenges in your life.

Only apple option for non in ear is airpods max. You could looks at some of the beats stuff there is some kind of Apple connection with beats so compatibility might be good.

Maybe they could fix the infamously broken PDF render engine so FF can actually display PDFS without completely breaking. Never in 20 years have I thought gee I wish my browser could display mkv files.

on the other hand if FF could display TIF images (like safari can) then that would be useful.

Wow. I did not realise this thank you for the info. The enshittification is strong on this one. Wow. that's awful. well i guess the plex pass lifetime is still worth it for now.

I also tried jellyfin in the past, but way too much friction to make it work properly, plex was super easy. Somebody above said something like, oh you 'just need to setup a VPN' great - and good luck getting grandma to configure her system to connect in a VPN. etc etc

> If you didn't have a full Plex Pass sub connected, then the external users would be getting prompted to pay for a streaming sub to allow streaming. Which was a new change earlier this year. Previously there was a one time purchase of a mobile app. These are now free, but there is the "streaming access only" sub that doesn't include the extra features of the full Plex Pass. I think people who previously bought the apps still require these subs now.

you can still stream to friends/family without plex pass and they Don't need one to use your server either. They are only being asked to buy something if they are using IOS app. (this sucks i agree) but you can open in a browser and do it that way for free, or use any other device.

The other thing that is not required but does help, if this applies, is that if you have multiple people sharing the same device (e.g. a family TV) then plex pass allows multiple local accounts, like netflix etc, other wise you have to clumisly sign in and out of the ap with your own account.(lame)

as far as i can see nobody need to pay for anything as log as they are not using the plex app on IOS. ?

> Jellyfin, which does what I need and want, and the move was easier than I thought it would be

I 100% gaurantee it's not as easy as Plex to get running on what ever random TV my extended family has. Given Jellyfin apps don't even exist for some TV brands jellyfin is complete non-starter. If a user can't download the app, and sign in then it's already losing vs Plex.

> they decided they would charge for letting you stream your material outside your network

uh what? Been using plex for years, inside, outside, network, other people, family members. No one is paying anything for plex except me who purchased a lifetime subscription about 10 years ago. You don't need to pay anything to stream plex. What on earth are you talking about?

You can use this car as a charger unit to power other things, such as im guessing : your house, other ev cars, anything else you can plug into it.

Thats a lot of cashola for a phone. Even a camera, phone and computer. Or a phone, ipod and internet communicator. Cant wait for the iphone 17 pro comparisons next month. Oh wait yes I can.

How much analysis Do games consoles need that they have a 5 person team generating $200k annually? Dont they only come out every few years.

Why do people feed all this info into these âappsâ(TM)?

is it really because what zucker famously said, /is/ actually true?

Remember the old days when people were told not to share personal information online, even your name, . Now people are seemingly sharing some of their most intimate details and wondering, no, finding out why actually thatâ(TM)s a bad idea?

I agree
