    “Well what subject did you like best in school?” Is the worst way to choose a major and it’s terrible that college recruiters use it to rope fresh-HS graduates into signing up.

    For anyone considering college in the next few years, you should really consider college as a career prep rather than a place to simply learn more. Unless you’ve got the money and support network to just dilly dally for 4+ years, you should be going in knowing 100% what you want to be doing with your life and make sure that courses you’re taking the the connections you make are getting you there.





  • Plex kind of has to advertise itself as that because it’s real product is sort of in the grey area, legally speaking.

    Essentially, a Plex server allows you to stream locally stored files from your computer to any clients running the Plex app. A lot of people use this as a way to watch pirated media.

    For example, I run my server (desktop) in my home office and have several drives attached to it and in one of those drives is “Pride.and.Prejudice.2005.mp4” and because I have my Plex server attached to that file, I can go to my TV and watch Pride and Prejudice (2005) on my sofa. The movie file “moves” through my hard drive into my desktop, then goes through my router and gets streamed into my TV. (A bit of a simplification but it gets the point across.)

    So, no payment necessary to stream media you own through Plex. There is a paid tier but the features it enables are nothing someone wanting to watch movies on their sofa should worry about, all the essential stuff is in the free option.















  • My thoughts too. I dont even like that I own guns, the responsibility that comes with it and whatnot, but American police have shown time and time again that they cannot and will not solve civil issues.

    Combine that with the fact that there are many social groups who would rather go into criminal status than give up their weapons in the event of a mass ban and you’ll suddenly have a large group of honest, well-intentioned people stuck between violent armed criminals and ineffectual law enforcers. Nobody wants that.
