I believe you. I feel that way about iTunes (trauma intensifies).

But Jellyfin doesn't have that reputation.

Have you tried the box it came in?

And then they bring you steak with bees because the server's new and she doesn't quite understand the kitchen shorthand yet.

Hate when that happens.

We still have those?

I thought they all went into tech*.

*Last horror story I heard was that Korean Telegram sex abuse/blackmail ring.

It's a Wikipedia article, but the whold thing is NSFL.

TL;Dr: They want the Hong Kong leader to focus on the renovation company's possible corruption, not the bamboo that didn't burn.

The Hong Kong leader responded to the fire by promising to replace (traditional Hong Kong) bamboo scaffolding with (mainland China) steel, because they're claiming it might have been an accelerant.

Residents argue that this is a distraction (most of the bamboo is still standing) from the real issue: the company doing the renovation/maintenance seems shoddy/corrupt and should be investigated.

At this point, the article gets unfocused and jumps around a lot.

By the end, she's talking about the upcoming elections being compromised by the Chinese government.

I set up Plex on my mum's TV and she can just push play. The UI is intuitive (read: familiar) to her.

Jellyfin has a reputation for giving users more control and customizability, but the other side of that coin is that it's more "fiddly".

My users don't want to fiddle.

I'm betting 650 (PS5 Pro price), with a controller.

Any higher, and the market vanishes.

PC gamers with that much extra money can just build their own, and probably with better specs.

Console gamers will skip a v1 offering that costs more than what they're used to, especially if their game catalog doesn't carry over.

So Plex has downgraded to [insert the word below feature parity] with Jellyfin.

Wealthy capitalists, if they're not based in the US

Are you talking about this part? If so, what I was saying was that billionaires moved to either the US or the three countries I mentioned.

That means the billionaires from China also did not move to Taiwan.

You can also look at the wiki for Taiwan's billionaires. Only one was born in China and not Taiwan (Hong Kong, specifically), and I'm pretty sure he moved to Taiwan way before the events we're taking about in this thread.

Even if Selfridge's entire existence were a collective fever dream*, the "full quote" is the better quote.

I can't imagine anyone who has worked in direct sales, at any amount of money, who genuinely believes "the customer is always right" is more correct of a saying without "in matters of taste".

*If everyone born before 1925 was a fever dream, it changes literally nothing about the state of the world today.
