People let their TV's onto the internet? I thought we already had this discussion and nobody does this anymore.

Every time you click that link you will get a different web page... so...

I am fully aware of Alan Turnings work and it is rather exceptional when you read that formulas were be8ng created for diffusion models in the late 40's.

But i really don't care thar whoever wrote that wikipedia page believes the hype. We are still in statistical algorithm stages. Even on the wiki page it says thar AI is aware of its surroundings as a feature of AI. We do not have that.

Also, it appears that most people are still not fooled by "ai" as we have it today, meaning it does not pass even the most basic Turing test. Which a lot of academic believe is not even enough as a marker of ai ad that too wad from the 50's

There is no intelligence. There is only algorithms. The place we are at is not anywhere near approaching artificial intelligence, it is only buzzwords. If you know about how this works this should be clear. I think I was being very objective: we have statistical engines and diffusion formulas. No intelligence, of any kind, is being demonstrated. AI is a marketing term at this point. No original ideas, no real knowledge of past or future events, no ability to determine correct answers from false ones. Even the better models that try to basically watch the other models are still not that great beyond the basics of "what is the next most likely word here".

No we haven't. We have an appearance of a AI. Large language models and diffusion models are just machine learning. Algorithm statistic engines.

Nothing thinks, creates, cares, or knows the difference between something correct or wrong.

Yeah kinda tired of it. We don't even have AI yet, and here people are throwing around the term right and left and then accusing everything under the sun to be generated by it.

You are saying steam link for VR correct? Because Steam Link itself works fine.

The only thing I have to dual boot for is VR at this point. And I havent even done that in maybe 2 years. But it really is the final thing for me.

All the other games I care to play work fine. The last two Resident Evil's were flawless. Almost everything is pretty much click and play these days.

I remote to other computers and remote into my own, so I take it you are using Parsec for something specific? I never used it before.

I’ll give it another try if AMD gets it together with their driver support.

As an AMD GPU linux user this is confusing. There is no driver needed. There is nothing to do with AMD. Must be the laptop? A unusual variant, or early adopter?

I never did get a music subscription of any kind. Guess I am glad about that now. I just host my own server. Spotify never had a quarter of what I want to listen to anyways so I guess there is that.

Listening to Legion of Mary 12-10-1974 right now.

I am not a fan of emojis in online conversation, but this time it does change how I perceived what you wrote. You are not happy about this? I would be so pleased if my country got rid of the penny.

Pyrosis did a great job answering a lot of your questions, I will focus again on why I cannot recommend plex:

Opt-In is not acceptable. You need to opt-out of: data sharing, data sharing with partners (unless you are in the UK or specific States), sharing playback data, stopping discovery together and activity feed, and turning off all of their live tv and streaming services.

Sharing streaming habits with others is not something that ever should have been opt-out. They keep pushing the line.

By the way, several of the "features" you mention are not included by default. Hardware decoding, downloads, DVR, etc.

I run both concurrently. I have a plex pass from way back when, maybe a decade or more.

What plex is now is not what it once was. Trying to socialize viewing habits, opting in by default to analysis, ads, reviews, and sharing that info has gone too far. Plex also works on these features such as discovery which benefits them, instead of open bugs.

That us why I can't recommend it.

As for a feature comparison. Jellyfin is snappier, and faster. Plex is more detailed in their interface, and has better Metadata. Jellyfin sometimes doesn't restart where I left off. Jellyfin is much, much better on mobile devices, but has less clients for tv's. Jellyfin doesn't rely on any server but my own, where plex wants to authenticate with thier own servers and ask for accounts (and money) to have full functionality. Jellyfin always downloads to a client. Plex...might. Plex has better handling of multiple streams in one file.
