I’ve done the tape thing before. It was a little bit of a pain but not that hard.

That’s why you run a couple rounds of preclear to stress them and then run a fresh smart report.

Time to install tailscale.

It would not lock your library if someone was playing one of your games. You could start any game in your library and the family member would be given a 15 minute period to wrap up their session before being booted. It had nothing to do with steam drm either.

Source: I actually used family sharing a few times.

It’s worth playing for the music alone. If you like other platinum games, you’ll probably like it.

I wouldn’t be so sure if that. It’s possible, yeah, but if my theory is right they see the library sharing as the carrot to get normies to download the plex app onto their roku or apple TV.

Pivoting to a streaming only app would close off that avenue for user acquisition permanently.

I was trying to think how Plex thinks this is going to play out, knowing that this move will piss off their customer base. Then I realized, this isn’t a play for Plex’s existing customer base. This is a play for their customer’s “friends and family” that are enjoying shared libraries already.

Their ‘customer’ base has for many many years been developing a large user base of technologically naive people with Plex apps installed who could never run their own server. If Plex knows, for example, that for every paying customer there’s three other users pulling from someone’s library, that’s a huge opportunity for them to convert those users to paying customers.

Everyone that set up a Plex server and then shared it with your tech-phobic parents, cousins, friends, etc… We made this possible.

I don’t like it but I can’t argue with the logic from Plex here.

-edit- Tightened up the grammar.

I can get back to doing what I love, shitposting maps.

Nature is so strange and beautiful.

They’ve removed plenty of games. At least so far, there’s always been notice a few weeks before they leave and the game remains in the store for purchase.

I’ve actually bought a few games on steam because I could try them on gamepass. No man’s sky, last call bbs, and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night come immediately to mind.

I have gamepass and it’s fine. Large library, no penalty for choosing a stinker means I can experiment with games I wouldn’t have before, and I can still buy games if I want. I think that’s a reasonable middle ground that benefits everyone to some degree.

OK, that was always an option.

It’s more like if a landlord canceled the leases on a bunch of properties that a chain of privately owned libraries was renting.

“keep your books but you can’t keep them here” in a way.

Indeed. If op fills the bath to the overflow and then gets in, guess what. It’s gonna overflow.

Also, just take a shower for peets sake.

This looks great. Im using the lidarr extended scripts which can use deezer or tidal.

Konnected just released a garage door controller. I’ve been super happy with their alarm system. I’m using a zwave controller from GoControl myself.

Valve could be trying their own version of stadia / Luna. Doubtful though. Probably a vr device.

Those are my two gripes too. They seemed to have fixed those issues on the deck though. If they ever do a v2 I’m sure those improvements will carry over.

The Steam controller is a miracle. Yes, it’s a first Gen product that needs iteration but a controller with track pads, gyro, paddle buttons, and wireless for $50 is still the best value controller ever made imo.

Throw in steam input, which if you haven’t tried it lately is fucking amazing at this point, and I honestly can’t understand why companies aren’t clamoring to integrate it.
