But why?

why not just down up normally and have a cleanup job on a schedule to get rid of any orphans?

I think assassinated is the appropriate term here as it's politically motivated.

Here is a paper on the relationship between heat and battery degradation

https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsomega.2c04093

Any AC load you can throw at an EV is effectively “slow charging”. My car supports a maximum of 9.6kw from an AC charger, but up to 150kw from DC fast chargers. Even with the fast charging, its not like a phone, it has active thermal management which will cool the battery and slow down the charging if it gets too hot. phones don’t really have that and is mainly why they degrade faster if quick charged.

The big thing for me with plex is user management. I am absolutely knowledgeable enough to set up jellyfin, but i dont want to deal with user management. Plex makes it easy, i tell them to make their own account and i just share my library. i dont have to reset passwords, they can do that themselves. However, it’s getting to the point where i will probably just switch to jellyfin and deal with it because of how bad plex is getting.

Yes, it’s one thing to offer a lifetime subscription early on to get a large cash infusion and reward early adopters, but it’s a big red flag if they don’t get rid of the lifetime subscription eventually. What will happen is one by one, the people that use the service the most will switch to lifetime and your cash flow will dwindle. Eventually the only people left on the month to month are the casual users who don’t use it very often and will leave as soon as a price increase happens.

Have you looked at grapheneOS? Its essentially a fork of the android open source project with extra privacy features. So, regular android apps still work for the most part, but you dont have google spyware built in.

Same, I was ready to just buy the first chinese mini pc that had the 128G strix halo processor. This is way better as it will have actual support and likely be better made.

It does ok with that. better than the default model, but worse than the built in search on my phone.

The best one I have found was one of the newer ones that was added a few months ago. ViT-B-16-SigLIP__webli

Really impressed with the accuracy even with multi word search like "espresso machine"

What do you mean unproven social media claims? the $4 billion in cash is in their quarterly earnings: https://gamestop.gcs-web.com/static-files/2c1eac18-9f79-41b9-9e56-a8db8fe7aac4
