  • Ive been around for a lot longer than them offering to let you pay for better service. Adblocking for quite a while was literally a malware concern

    Then I paid a bit extra with my phone service to get the premium, which at the cost it was felt like proper value. Then Google took that perk away while charging me the same amount, demanding their price hiked Premium cost to keep using their service, or I could go back to ad blocking

    Google did this to themselves, homie










  • Wild chickens do this, yeah. They’ll insistently peck at anything red, this spray is usually for if a bird is injured to stop others or themselves pecking it and making it worse

    you can also use it to help deter roosters who are getting too violent on hens, as they’ll peck and pull out feathers during the mating process




  • dark pattern

    Nope, not at all. Its extremely forward, your local IP is listed first every time IME, and your lower-down comment has it backwards as it’s your local IP that had “secure” written on it

    it’s not a dark pattern at all, people are just stupid and don’t read (including me, I fucked this up too at first)


  • Someone else already said it and you’ve already swapped but I’ll say it in detail:

    when setting the server connection up you selected “ServerName (long string of numbers)” and not “ServerName (your IP - SECURE)”

    this routes your connection through the Plex servers and makes it not a local connection anymore. this is extremely easy to do and forget you’ve done because it barely impacts performance
