Rich asshole with a reality TV show? Probably just as likely that we elect him president, wait for him to commit treason and more felonies than anyone can reasonably keep track of, and then fail to hold him meaningfully accountable for any of it.
Intel skepticism aside, I hope they can deliver on this. M-series Macs seem streets ahead in terms of battery life right now and it doesn't feel great buying any other portable.
They otter go back to school.
Curry Pizza House? I love that place.
How weird, I was just thinking about this guy yesterday after forgetting about him for probably ~5 years. I got pretty into buying, repairing, and modding broken iPods for a little while thanks in part to some of his goofy but informative teardown videos. Still have a small box of parts somewhere.
Haven't watched the video yet, but I'll be a little surprised if he doesn't immediately fire up Shrek to test whatever media player came with his distro.
No judgment here, and to be clear I don't mean to invalidate her suspicion or yours. It wouldn't surprise me if there were unethical individuals in HR who take things like this as an opportunity to call out things they don't like... But in my experience, the asking part is pretty typical, and I doubt it was targeted.
For me, I-9 verification was very early on in the onboarding process. A list of eligible I-9 documents was provided in the onboarding paperwork and HR scheduled a time in my first day or two to show them on camera. Took maybe 2 minutes once we were actually on the call.
I didn't press them on why when asked to unblur, but given I-9 is about presenting documents that verify your identity / eligibility to work, I suspect it's best practice to avoid any obvious image processing as a matter of policy. At the very least, not having to worry about the paper getting blurred just makes things easier. Ultimately, they're keeping these images on file to cover their own ass, so they want them to look as clear and legitimate as possible.
For me it was strictly during onboarding for verifying I-9 documents. I assume it's just to ensure any documents you present aren't getting software blurred.
I'm very interested in this. Any suggestions as far as specific models to look at, or where to source one without needing a fancy business vendor connection? Maybe a trustworthy review site to compare some options?
Haven't seen anyone mention Decentraleyes yet. Serves CDN assets locally to avoid CDNs as a vector for tracking or fingerprinting.
Might be time to try a different client then. No issues zooming on Connect, for what it's worth.

I install a few others every now and again to try new things, but it's usually ad-driven / endless predatory MTX bullshit.
I occasionally see those types of ads in subs downloaded through the Plex UI, but usually it's in an intro or at the end. Haven't seen them in the middle of a dialogue yet.
About 20 years ago I was so outraged by Bonsai Kitten that I asked a friend's mom to help me write letters to ISPs and law enforcement to try to get it taken down.
It was a site with pictures of cats in glass jars, but it had very graphic details about how they supposedly kept cats alive in jars and grew them into weird shapes... I still think it's pretty tasteless, but it was clearly someone's idea of satire. It felt like a big deal back then, but these days it would be nothing more than a bad meme.
Didn't he literally have Twitter employees sleeping in the office post-acquisition and even go so far as remodeling vacated offices as makeshift hotel rooms? I doubt he's kidding here, seems on-brand.
Yeah I'm not sure what "rape bid" is even supposed to mean, in any context. Doesn't "bid" imply something that can be accepted?
Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't just make Prime more expensive for everyone while citing "added value" like they normally do.
I have no trouble believing he didn't read something. Maybe if there were an illustrated version...
I mean... Hopefully it doesn't go on so long that anyone loses their home over it, but not being able to pay your mortgage or access your money is a pretty big deal.
