Yeah those claims are a slanderous distraction. The Patriot Act gave the government legal jurisdiction to spy on citizens because the terms were so vague, they just didn’t reveal that was part of the intent at the time. Also the draft of the bill that was presented to Congress to vote on had omitted several, incredibly powerful words that mysteriously appeared in later versions of the bill once it was passed. What a weird coincidence. /s

But part of Snowden’s whistleblowing was unveiling that the NSA was spying on citizens before the Patriot Act was passed. The Bush administration had already made an executive order for Congress to sign off on it. Which by the way, Nancy Pelosi was a part of. Even more reason to dislike her.

Edit to clarify: I learned all of this from a documentary I watched a ways back, but I don’t remember the name of it. I may be slightly misremembering some of the facts, take that as you may.

There’s nothing to discuss. You think that being openly antagonistic about the subject of a sub doesn’t warrant rebuke. It’s not a rational position.

But I understand what you are saying. You think downvotes should be used to express disagreement, just like upvotes are used to express agreement.

Never once said or implied this.

Then you’re completely irrational, and there’s really nothing else to say.

I asked what you would expect.

🤦

If you went over to the /funny sub and complained about the person in the post being funny what kind of a response would you expect?

I think every time I’ve heard about the plex smart TV app it has not been positive lol

Gonna be honest, I don’t know the exact logistics behind plex transcoding and what resources it may or may not use on the client and I’ve never tried a smart TV app as a client. I’m really not in a place to comment on it. But I can attest to having no issues when transcoding lossless formats to windows or the Nvidia shield.

I have not experienced this with any lossless transcodes and my friends streaming remote haven’t said anything about it. What client are you using to watch media?

I just decided to bite the bullet on paying for a Synology DS920+ and I don’t regret it at all. For media hosting on my scale, 4K direct or 1080p transcodes to 6 or less concurrent streams, it does everything I need it to do and it has pretty decent software.
