And revanced youtube for android does the same.

Here’s a link directly from plex website.

Specifically, this bolded section:

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS:
For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee.

Not quite. Only if users want to stream from a server that doesn’t have a plex pass, in which case the user needs a plex watch pass.

If you (the server owner) have a plex pass, all users (even free accounts) can stream from you without a pass.

If you (the server owner) do not have a plex pass, then the users need a plex watch pass to stream from you.

Essentially, they’re making sure one side or the other has paid, but free to free is being stopped.

Local stream isn’t affected by this either, only remote streaming. As someone who has had plexpass for 12 plus years, it doesn’t affect me or my users.

Yes, because the core mechanics of their platform is media metadata management and streaming. As long as those work, and my users don’t have to pay anything (because I have a plex pass lifetime already), then it has no effect on me or my users.

All that extra stuff can just be turned off.

Eh, tbh it still does the core basics of streaming my content and Metadata management, so I don’t really care about enshitification of ‘extra’ features that I never use. It’s still the easiest way to share media

Actually I never record videos and rarely take pictures with them. It’s the feature i use the least.

I use them for music, phone calls, and AI requests (like having a Google home you can ask at any moment). Once and a while I’ll ask it to tell me what I’m looking at to listen to it describe something. That feature uses the camera to snap a shot of what your looking at.

When I walk somewhere and need to use maps, it tells the directions to me as I walk which is pretty neat.

I mean, maybe of ots done well. I have the meta raybans and love them, mainly because I can listen to music as if I had earphones in, and talk on my phone with them, record, and take videos.

If it had a UI to select options and could display info too, that would be pretty sick imo.

Well, it was $75 CDN when i bought in 2012, it’s $150-170 CDN now, and going up to $249 USD which converts to $358 CDN, so I’m assumong they’ll round down to $350 or up to $360 CDN.

The conversion from USD to CDN kills it for us sadly. It’s just such a huge jump this time. More than double on this bump.

If you have plex pass lifetime already, your family can still streams fully from your server. Nothing changes here.

Yea, no change for lifetime pass holders. Anyone connecting in remotely can still stream like normal.

As a plex pass lifetime user, this doesn’t change anything for me.

I am, however, blown away that the price went from $75 CDN to $350 CDN over the last 10 years!! That’s just insane!

You mean Tesler?

Yep, which makes alarmist articles like this ridiculous.

There’s a bunch of places in the US that has 10 Gbps speed, so this jump to 50 Gbps is not too shocking. Writing it as 50,000 Mbps to make it seem huge is an interesting take.

No one wants to drive a swasticar.

It requires only 5% of the same hardware that OpenAI needs to do the same thing. So that can mean less quantity of top end cards and it can also run on less powerful cards (not top of the line).

Should their models become standard or used more commonly, then nvidis sales will drop.

He’s already trying to rename Canada. The US is Canada’s pants, and we’ve apparently shit. them

It’s currently not fill with people who want to help “prople”. It currently is setup to help corporate America only at this point. At the expense of your rights.

Tariffs will affect all cards from all generations if they’re still being imported.

A junk drawer? … yes, most houses have one.
