Why rent? If you have fiber and aren’t behind CGNAT you can host from your home

5TB requires you to be a company??? My personal NAS already has 92TB

You know this is more than enough reason to fire you once your IT department finds out

Most manufacturers only list average power draw, but in HDR mode you can get much higher peak power useage.

This website also lists peak power draw for many TVs, in this example the Bravia 9 85 inch has a peak of 380W

Your research would be incorrect

Gigantic 80" screens generally draw something like 120W

In HDR mode they can draw a lot more than that for short peaks

You just happened to work in a tourist area that is above the budget of most of our worst offenders (sorry if this sounds classist, it’s absolutely not meant that way)

OK, do you want me to tell 50 users of my Plex server that they can no longer use their shitty 10 year old smart TV to watch my movie library, and instead have to pay money buy a chromecast dongle, and then get a completely different UI and lose all their view progress on TV series? They’d just go back to paying for Netflix.

And yes, I have users that struggle even with the Plex app. My father can’t figure out how to use his dumb-phone to call a contact, and is only able to accept incoming calls. It took months to teach him how to use the Plex app, switching him to a different one will take just as long

Yes. I have a lifetime Plex pass, and I donated to Jellyfin as well. Looking forward to the day I can uninstall Plex and no longer worry about them potentially giving my data to Media companies so they can sue for piracy

The problem with Jellyfin is that it’s not a viable alternative for people hosting a Plex server for their family and friends. If you are the only 8ne using your server it’s fine, but Jellyfin doesn’t have working apps for every platform, and the ones that have a Jellyfin client available are not nearly as user friendly.

Same on my OG ioniq

I avoid them as much as possible purely because their in-house logistics company recently started doing their deliveries here instead of DHL, and they are absolutely terrible. Delivery times range from 7 AM to 9 PM and they just leave the package in front of your door without even ringing the doorbell
