  • No, some asshole generated a fake cease and desist letter from Ghibli to try to start some drama.

    Even tried to act like some kind of genAI martyr ready to sacrifice himself for the good of AI...

  • Simple auth was honestly one of the upsides for me.

    Plex claims to have an offline mode, but I could never got it to work, for some reason.
    And I got pissed off one too many times when my Internet went down and I couldn't watch anything from the NAS a few meters away...

  • Man, deep packet inspection is some crazy stuff.

    Good implementation can identify the type of traffic within seconds with scarily good accuracy.

    Quite a few countries actually implement this in their national ISP's infrastructure to block VPNs, so the citizens can't access non-approved websites.

  • $3 ink from a bodega

    That's actually a fair price for 3rd party replacement.
    I used to work at a computer shop, and people only ever bought the cheapest available cartridges.
    We also used to do printer repair, do you know how many printers had to come in because of shitty ink?
    The answer is zero.

    And anyway, in your example the printer manufacturer has no business tracking your ink usage, whether it's by spying on you and phoning home, or recording this info in the printer's memory.

  • Company's PR dept saying "we didn't do it" is not proof of anything.

    If they're not blocking 3rd party cartridges, why even implement DRM?
    Do they have so much extra money that they're developing features they're not planning to use just because they're bored?

  • The issue seems a bit misrepresented by the dev.
