I stream from Plex. And if I really wanted to put it on iOS devices, I can since I have Plexpass.
Am I right in assuming your own media is hosted on a Plex server. If so, where do you host your Plex server?
Yes, it's hosted in my Plex server. It runs on my home server, with Google Drive as storage backend.

I went over Citron report, and what instantly caught my eye was that part about distributor in Poland, supposedly run from the tent. Well, if they bothered to actually ask someone who speaks Polish, they would know the sign is pointing at location 50 meters away. Then if you look at the first picture, or simply go to Google Maps and look it up, you can see there's actual store inside the house. To Americans this might be weird, but this is how huge majority of small businesses operate in Poland, just to trim operational costs.
I'm pretty sure the rest of his claims can be dismissed a bullshit too, if you dig deep enough.
Or just look at the site and you can tell it's not meant for serious readers.
Are you saying you don't like models in bikini? 
Edit: nvm, you're taking about Citron site.

The only things I use cable for are sports: football; American football; the Olympics; etc. If I could get channels that supplied those things and get rid of cable I would be so happy. /me goes off to search for SlingTV to find out what it is.
https://www.fubo.tv/ - this covers a lot of football, Fox Soccer Plus - avaiable on PS3 and PS4 - adds Bundesliga, some European Cups, and a few more.
For american football probably the best would be Sling TV, it has a few ESPN channels and sports pack, CBS All Access might have some football available in the future.
Olympics are exclusive to NBC, so no dice, Playstation VUE or OTA antenna.
Yes, Credit Karma checks 2 bureaus I think, while Discover does 1. I just realized I had to place Fraud Alert after that breach and I spent some time on phone with bank when I applied for iPhone financing during that time, so that's going to qualify as expenses.
In case someone wonders where models in bikini came from: https://www.anteny24.pl/

Ha I double checked
And.... they really did steal them?
Oh no, haha they're all there.
Maybe they're clogged with dust and don't spin anymore.

@marcinozga said in Equifax claims process is now open:
I'm getting the cash. 10 years of credit monitoring is worthless, same with their insurance. It won't prevent identity or credit card theft. And their reaction time is piss poor, you'd get a notice 1-3 months later of someone opens new account in your name, and by that time crook will probably charge thousands. Credit freeze is the only option and they don't offer that. Discover bank offers credit monitoring for free to anyone: https://csp.discover.com/free-credit-score/index.html
Who doesn't offer Credit Freeze? All three of the credit agencies offer credit freezes now - for free. It was a law passed a shortish while ago.
I managed to freeze Experian and Equifax 2 years ago.. but had issue getting into Transunion... well, in that time, it's become free and all three have made it much easier (though still not brain dead easy) to freeze unfreeze your credit). As of this morning I have all three frozen.
What I meant was they didn't list that as an option in settlement, instead they offered some useless services. If you don't know about credit freeze in first place, you won't get it. And even if you do, you have to do all the work, and you have to contact all 4 credit bureaus.

Minification is not aggregation. It is useful, and I'd always do minification, but aggregation gives you so much more.
WinAMP was THE mp3 player on Windows. Alternative was.... I can't think of anything, windows media player, classic one, if that was your thing, but that didn't play mp3 if I remember correctly. WinRAR is just a legacy app, you mostly see .rar files on torrent sites, and that's about all the use cases for it.
The title is nothing but a click-bait. Apple is not locking down batteries, it's displaying a message that it's unable to diagnose battery health, which is not surprising, since replacement batteries are probably lacking diagnostic chip that's present in original batteries. Your replacement battery will continue to work just fine.
Here's how to do it with w3 total cache plugin: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-css-and-js-combine-not-supported
It just hit me, Real Player was main competitor to WinAMP, loaded with adware and spyware.

Yes, but Apple has talked about actually locking out 3rd party parts before
Do you have source for that claim? I know they did that with fingerprint readers, but that was a valid move. They do make their hardware harder and harder to fix, but I don't recall any claims that they were actually blocking 3rd party parts, with some exceptions where it would compromise security, like with above fingerprint reader.

I've had 12TB RAID 6 (18TB raw), with 10TB of data on it rebuilt in about 24h. Software RAID shines here.
What drives and software RAID implementation are you using?
And yes, software RAID can divert system resources to the computations making it much faster. People really don't realize just how much faster software RAID is than hardware RAID.
ZFS on FreeBSD and WD Red 3TB. And quad core Xeon w/HT.

They could even claim 3rd party batteries are dangerous (they can be).
They are dangerous... to Apple's profit margin. They didn't spend a gazillion ad dollars creating their whole "pay more for it because it's what all the cool kids use" thing so you could save a few bucks on a battery replacement. I'm actually shocked that they haven't announced that installing 3rd party batteries voids your warranty.
These batteries can be dangerous. They are cheap garbage in most cases, built in some Chinese sweatshop without any quality control in place. Remember a girl that got 3rd degree burns from exploding battery in her Samsung phone? Yup, 3rd party battery. Or how about BestBuy recalling 5000 Macbook Pro replacement batteries? Cheap junk again.
And installing 3rd party battery does void the warranty, that shouldn't require any explanation. You need to open the case, and that alone voids warranty. But this isn't something anyone would be concerned with anyway, if you have warranty, why would you pay for 3rd party repairs when Apple will do it for free?

@dafyre said in Real Time Coronavirus Website:
I've done a little bit of reading about COVID-19 (the new Coronavirus)... It seems to me that everybody is panicking simply because it's new?
Maybe. It mostly kills old people. And some with weak immune systems and other health issues. Surprisingly children are fairly safe from it, no child 0-9 year old has died.
People panic over silly things, you should have seen local markets before each snow storm or hurricane. Partially media are to blame as they spread misinformation and fear.

What's with the cylinder design? Don't the designers and engineers have cats? I think it started with Amazon Echo, now everybody has to have cylinder. I lost count how many times my cats have knocked down my Echo, I'm surprised it's still working.
