Get a PC.
This is quite fair, and I agree. I just hear far too often people rejecting running scripts out of hand because sOmEoNe sAiD pIpE iT tO tHe sHeLL. Usually such scripts are just using the package manager anyway.
You...can just download the script and inspect it yourself before running. This cargo cult "security" advice needs to stop.
ITT: the sourest of grapes.
Plex could be held liable as a vicarious enabler of infringement. Your suggestion that they turn a blind eye would endanger their very existence. Of course they are going to capitulate. It's a wonder they still exist as it is.
100% agreed, but it is in the realm of possibility that they would do this. It's somewhat smug of me, but honestly I have never been so happy as during the past few years not to be a gamer. Y'all have to deal with mountains of bullshit.
I wouldn't take this for granted. Even if it is true today (I have no idea, I don't own a switch, and wouldn't be surprised if it requires even physical media to authenticate), Nintendo could alter the deal with an update.
Linux on laptops, and certain other servers (TV headend/DVR, APCO P25 SDRtrunk host), and video transfer workstation. FreeBSD on any other servers, routers, and workstations, including my home automation controller (I maintain a fork of Home Assistant for FreeBSD).
Running FreeBSD on a laptop newer than 5ish years old is asking for a bad time no matter what. Linux has Intel and AMD engineers implementing power management for their parts. FreeBSD has no such help. Your laptop will likely be idling at a much higher power consumption than it would under Linux.
An idea, maybe just stick to Linux if first class hardware and proprietary software support is what you're chasing.
Enjoy being ignorant and wondering why you can't do anything effectively, then.
