I'm not overly concerned about catching video of burglars inside my house, or recording a home invasion, but I do want to see what my dog is doing when I'm at work. If it occasionally catches me masturbating, well, that's kind of on them.

Well, they'd have to be flown by a known person or entity to have a waiver, in which case there'd be no mystery. And the story states the flights, real or not, were occurring between 7 and 10pm. That's after sunset where I live.

It is however illegal to fly a drone at night without a waiver.

Aerons are the best. While I can't argue they're not overpriced, they can be had for far less these days than the $1,100+ I paid for each of mine. I saw some for like $400 the other day.

No matter the tier, even the Business product, max upload in my area is 15mbps. I'm constantly moving big DBs around and stuff, and these upload speeds kill me.

While Plex does indeed have a paid tier, and they do charge for (some) of their apps, it's pretty much a free product. The paid tier gets you some of the newest features and access to the most recently supported platforms, but beyond that, the free product is not crippled in any way. None of that is my point.

Plex and Kodi started from the same project, and although the two products are not 1:1, they're pretty goddamn close. Plex is available in the Fire TV App Store but Kodi is not. Amazon could have believably cited the approval process to keep Kodi out of their app store (you could only sideload it as it was [and still is]) - hell, they haven't let a Plex update through since I bought the box - but they chose to go this piracy route. Pretty disingenuous, it seems to me.

Also, Plex rules. Kodi is a great product, but Plex is very full-featured, if less extensible, and is a lot easier to support.

..Wasn't this how the new I am Legend started?

"Not so much. The author of TFS is an idiot. He missed McNary, John Day, The Dalles, and Bonneville dams."

Thank you. That really irked me. "the last free-flowing section of the Columbia River." No, not so much.

Exactly.

"Very convenient until you want to leave your iPhone and switch back to plain old text messages because suddenly you'll be unable to receive text messages from your iPhone-toting friends."

That's not how it works. And the "obscure workaround" linked is simply instructions for how to send an iMessage as a text, like in the cases where iMessage fails (poor reception).
