FWIW with virus total, you don’t even need to upload the file, just provide the hash to see if is known to virus total. The name may be auto generated which wouldn’t help much in searching, but the hash is based on the file contents.

They are requiring Plex Pass for all remote sessions, even ones which don’t go through plex servers, where your client connects to your remote plex server directly. IMO, this should not require Plex Pass if the remote stream is not going through Plex’s server.

Also since the April 2025 update where they required the payment, the “new experience” apps have been terrible, and people have been side loading the old apps because they retain core functionality. Maybe there was a technical reason to release new apps to enforce the Plex Pass requirements, but it has been a terrible experience being told to pay money and then getting a worse experience, compared to what was free a year ago.

Assuming this is in the United States of America, this is not necessarily true based on a recent supreme court case, Warner Chappell Music, Inc. v. Nealy, the U.S. Supreme:

On May 9, 2024, in Warner Chappell Music, Inc. v. Nealy, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that a copyright owner is entitled to monetary relief for timely infringement claims — i.e., claims brought within the Copyright Act’s statute of limitations — no matter when the infringement occurred. This could potentially allow some plaintiffs to claim damages stretching back many years into the past.

The majority “assum[ed] without deciding that a claim is timely under [Section 507(b)] if brought within three years of when the plaintiff discovered an infringement, no matter when the infringement happened.”

Yeah, seems like investment in Energy sector has had the biggest increase over the last 5 years. Don’t invest in the guy mining for gold, invest in the guy selling pick axes

Wow this is so good. Love the judge in this case:

Proven had demanded a preliminary injunction that would stop McNally from sharing his videos while the case progressed, but Proven had issues right from the opening gavel:

LAWYER 1: Austin Nowacki on behalf of Proven industries.

THE COURT: I’m sorry. What is your name?

LAWYER 1: Austin Nowacki.

THE COURT: I thought you said Austin No Idea.

LAWYER 2: That’s Austin Nowacki.

THE COURT: All right.

When Proven’s lead lawyer introduced a colleague who would lead that morning’s arguments, the judge snapped, “Okay. Then you have a seat and let her speak.”

I’d like to believe, but the source for the article is a random Medium article which claims there were leaked document, but the headline is clearly click bait. The medium post doesn’t go into any details about this, it just outlines some open source tools with “ai” to do basic tasks to run your infrastructure in AWS, not what any engineer working for AWS would actually be doing.

I think with your example of “call mom” there’s some relationship thing in contacts you have to setup, even if the name of the contract is mom. I’m not sure how you tried with calling other people, but I’d suggest changing the contact name for your mom to a very specific name, and then try using that name and saying something like “Call Mary Elizabeth Jones” and see if that works.

Also I’d try initiating voice input different ways. Your car button might just trigger the input and send it to Google Maps. what if you hit the microphone button in Google maps on the screen and then said the command. What if you said “Hello Google”?

Personally I’ve always found voice input hit or miss, and Google has been constantly changing things it’s hard to even keep things straight on what you’re supposed to do. I would say your best bet is to try every conceivable option till you find what works, and then use that for as long as you can until Google breaks it.

This feels like some important content you could add to the post, as it’s pretty specific to your situation.

Ancestry.com and findagrave.com are kinda the funniest examples that could be picked from the sites being affected today. Obviously there’s the parallels of AWS being dead today, but I also can’t imagine there would be a lot of updates to those sites that not being active on there for some amount of time would miss out on some timely update. I totally hate being in the grove when something out of my control impedes my workflow, don’t get me wrong, and can totally see how the outages would be annoying.

It’s called leeching

When I bought an HDMI capture card years ago, it came with a little card that said “Do not use HDMI splitters to bypass copy protection”

IIRC, the last paid OS update for Mac was Snow Leopard around 2007-2008.

Just checked my old account again, and all edited content is still there, with “Fuck u/spez” appearing as the top comment in some posts that are like 12 years old

There are some niche private trackers which have an active community that handle quality and requests. Also they don’t let just anyone create a torrent, so you can have assurances that the files have been vetted to some extent and you’re not going to download something unexpected.

As the other comment says, use hardlinks and then you can have several copies of the file across the same partition all reference the same file, using just the storage space needed for one copy of the file. Still RAR files will need to be extracted first, so those would require just about twice the file size, but hopefully people stop using rar, so that’s not a concern.

Looking at the docs, it seems like that toggle enables UPnP, so the rest of the setup should be on the torrent client to announce that it needs an external port, and the VPN and torrent client should handle things from there. Maybe you can lookup the docs for your torrent client and see if there’s anything extra to use UPnP?
