Heaven forbid people take any personal responsibility.

So if you answer a question wrong on a test you didn’t complete the test?

If you've signed in to a MS account you have your bitlocker encryption key and won't lose any data.

and forced obsolescence refers to Win11 blocking everything prior to Zen+ and Coffee Lake

Because Win11 uses features that that hardware doesn't have. Win10 is still there and still works. You can't stop progress forever.

and not all people are comfortable with having to sign up for an online account just to install their OS and would rather make a local account if possible;

Sure, but most are fine with it especially with the benefits it brings. For older people it's an absolute godsend, as all their files are automatically backed up to onedrive and accessible on any computer.

Also, I didn’t know local backups of your data ala simply copying it to an external drive at the minimum, weren’t an option that existed anymore. sarcasm

What are you talking about?

Your parents are definitely right.

Step 5, recover password?

That's what the online MS account is for - your BitLocker encryption key is stored on your account that you can access from any web browser.

It’s rather difficult to get people who are willing to lie and commit fraud for you.

X.

If anything they're more empowered here if they lean the right way politically (which is a hard left), because the mods are even more militant in their banning due to wrongthink here.

The task was to tell you the difference. It told you the difference, it was just wrong about the differences. Giving an incorrect answer to a task is still doing the task.

Citation needed.

No citation needed. They'll either do it one day or the software will languish behind in obscurity.

Anyway, what’s wrong with being left behind?

Nothing I guess, other than the competition getting further and further ahead and your users leaving for them.

We’re not in a race, so I don’t understand how we could get left behind.

You definitely are. JellyFin doesn't exist in a vaccuum. You might not feel like its competition, but the jellyfin software competes with all the other media streaming software out there.

I always see this and I have to ask: why do you care?

Because OP is scared of losing their users because of their incorrect thinking that Plex was requiring them all to buy a remote streaming pass, so clearly OPs goal is to not lose their users, right?

OP asked, we're answering. That's kinda the whole point of this thing called Lemmy. We don't care per se, we're just telling OP our opinions and thoughts on their questions and proposed solutions.

Have to agree with the other comment that asks why do you need to use a vpn. Fax

If you don't use a VPN you're putting yourself at risk. There's no real way around it with Jellyfin, as others have said.

I find it hard to believe that there are bots scanning for jellyfin exploits

You are very, very naive and uneducated on what bad actors do on the internet then. Basically any popular service that exposes a port to the internet WILL have bots scanning for that port specifically.
