Nvidia shield was known as king of media servers because it was able to be client and server. Now it's a running on a build from ~2015 that can no longer function as a server. Yes it's a client, but it's old and overpriced now with a bunch of additional Google shitware. If you have one use it, don't buy one.

Shield also refused to update mounting networking drives after Android 14 so they are pretty useless now

Sounds like you don't do contact negotiations, if someone will pay 2 million to appear on their root domain, you'll sit down and figure it out for a couple hours.

Mostly customer provided certs, high end clients make all kinds of stupid requests like the aforementioned man-in-the-middle chain sniffers, clients that refuse DNS validation, clients that require alternate domains to be updated regularly. Management is fine for mywebsite.com, but how are you solving an EV on the spoofed root prod domain, with an sso cert chain for lower environments on internal traffic that is originally provided by a client? And do you want the cs reps emailing each other your root cert and (mistakingly) the key? I've been given since SCARY keys by clueless support engineers. I don't want to do this every 3 months.

As someone who creates custom domain name applications, FUCK THEM WITH A PINEAPPLE SPIKY SIDE FIRST. This problem is on par with timezones for needless complexity and communication disasters. Companys and advertisers are now adding man in the middle certs for additional data collection/visibility. If the ciphers not cracked, changing the certs exposes significantly more failure, than letting one get a little stale.
Sysadmin used slam! It's super effective!

Why do we need to bother executing it then? Choice has no value if agency to exercise it is revoked at any stage.

The post did not make any positive encouragement, make a case for mental health, or even make a suggestion. It came in as an accusation that anyone who chooses to live that way is abnormal. By definition it was a microaggression, so triggered people are reflex responding.

Or we just go back to the old way; where a company sells a product and consumers just own it. Why does a static piece of software/video require a license? Updates used to be optional, but then company's started selling broken stuff and writing out exclusions until we had no other options.

The simplest solution is Chromecast + device of your choosing. Followed by Apple TV, but I can't remember if those can cast.

If youll spend a bit more, you can also get an Xbox one. You'll get access to a multimedia device that has the Microsoft app store for subscriptions, it's available as a Chromecast device, unfortunately Microsoft is nose diving hard right now, but I rarely play games on mine anymore.

Ted Lasso is a modern masterpiece. The good place and arcane get honorable mentions. Fallout and One Piece have had strong season 1s, but very few gems so far.

💯 It was never hard, you just didn't know the rhythm yet. Any game that is too lazy to figure out scaling just gets relabeled as a souls game. You'll get the same experience playing most games without equipment.
