Why do you believe that judges (or even juries made of lay people) can make sense of the very things that you’re so confident legislators or regulators cannot?

I’m not saying regulation is perfect, and as a result, certainly there is a role for judicial review. But come on, man…lots of non sequiturs and straw dogs in your argument.

There are multiple versions. I suggest you get these from the official site (free, but donations support the cost of equipment, purchasing film reels, and HDD space) and make sure you have the most recent 4K version. I don’t think you will know with certainty which version you have if you try to get this through other means.

I get the sense it was a tricky restoration due to the film stock (and film scanning equipment) they had available, which was spread across 16mm, Kodak 35mm, and Fuji 35mm (which had better colour preservation but was incomplete). They explain it much better on their website, but it is an iterative process, and earlier versions might have a different quality.

Can’t say I’ve noticed video differences, but Infuse has had the fewest audio sync issues for me. However the Plex layout simply fits my brain better. Especially the ability to reorder media and use collections, and integrate my OTA antenna.

Is it still true that only the Shield Pro does Atmos for my own media?

D&D does have a daily living cost based on the characters’ backgrounds. Anything from wretched (inhumane conditions - 0 cost) or squalid (1 silver per day) up to wealthy (4 gold) or aristocratic (10gold minimum). But I don’t think anyone really keeps track in most campaigns.

Apple ecosystem so: iPhone > iCloud Photo Library (imported all digital photos over the years through iPhoto, later Photos) > Mac Photos app (set to download all originals) > Time Machine backup on my Synology NAS with redundancy

And because I’m a belt and suspenders kind of guy:

iPhone > Synology Photos backup > Synology C2 cloud backup

There's no reason to use Plex as a front end for all other streaming services.

I’ll disagree here. If I don’t know where something is, I can just list all of the streaming services I subscribe to in Plex and just go there to start watching something.

Moreover the individual streaming services have designed their apps to literally hide the shows you’ve been watching whereas Plex keeps things front and centre. Much smoother.

When I watch a Villeneuve sci-fi it all feels very safe and respectable, like the folks involved don't want to stray too far from the source material

I mean there was at least one rather substantial change in Arrival from the Chiang short story that made it pretty different from my perspective. Wasn’t aware there was source material for 2049 beyond the screenplay. Adapting Dune is another animal to be sure. But I’m not sure about the generalization to all of Villeneuve’s sci-fi.

At first I was like, what is Anthony Edwards famous for if not for his roles as Goose, or Dr. Green?

Their enterprise line has switches with 2.5Gb ports. They’re particularly popular among the rack-porn crowd as they have all their ports in a single line instead so they can have just one patch panel and all the ports line up nicely. It only does POE+, not ++, which would be nice for running a POE switch in the garage that could drive both an access point and some cameras.

They also sell SFP+ modules that do 10/5/2.5 Gb

Yeah one of the things that Ford did well with the Lighting was to initially advertise the range with an appropriate load. I don’t know if they’re still doing so, but it took some of the guesswork out for buyers who were actually going to use it as a truck instead of a station wagon.

You create inter vlan rules that allow connections from your main vlan to the other vlans, but only allow established and related traffic from the secondary vlans back to the main vlan.

I have a separate vlan for IoT and guests but punch holes for contact back to my HomePods(main vlan) for my Ecobee thermostat (IoT vlan) to contact so my kids can use Siri to get the weather in the mornings, and for guests to use the printer, that sort of thing.

Having had a similar experience I would suggest a couple of advantages. Depending on how low a state of charge you had on arrival, it might also be important to be able to make it to services or another fast charger if something urgent comes up. Also depending on whether there is an outside receptacle or not, this may leave the screens open for the least amount of time. I was done charging in half a day using a 50A receptacle recently. Last time at the same spot it was a 3 day affair. It is also more energy efficient to charge at 240V than 120V.
