I think maybe you could consider putting this into perspective. One accident among tens of millions of cups of coffee and tea served really isn’t cause for pitchforks and reforms, it’s just life, and unfortunate accidents happen. I hope the guy in the car recovers.
At the end of the day, whether it was the guy tilting the carrier, or the barista not seating the cup, it was an hourly employee behind the window being a human, not the CEO.
A fair question. Black tea is the most prevalent type of tea across the world. Recently after seeing a news story about Indian Kulhads (single use ceramic cups) I did some searching about what teas different regions drink, and most regions seem to drink regular black tea with some preferring black tea with spices. I don’t think the masses would accept 145° oolong at twice the price for the sole reason of lowering their risk of scalding burns.
I get if you are doing something different personally, but its literally the recommendation on the box. When I was learning about coffee I found that water into the brew basket or pour over at 185 would produce a terrible sour flavor, and that is well known in specialty coffee. Tea seems to be more forgiving, but I still let my water hit a boil before I brew mine. First result on google for a tea shop states the same thing: https://artfultea.com/blogs/101/tea-brewing-temperature-guide
I’m all for ganging up on mega-corps and watching them squirm when a lawsuit comes around, but it may have been a bit extreme to call my statement false. If Starbucks did anything wrong here, to me it was the cup not being seated in the carrier, not the water temperature.
Black tea needs to be brewed pretty close to boiling, and even green tea is brewed at 185, the same temp as the McDonald’s coffee incident. I don’t know how you can brew tea to order and hand it to someone a moment later without it still being at almost the exact same temperature. Tea also needs 3-5 minutes to steep, and you can’t hold up a drive through just to hand it over.
I’m not much for Starbucks, so don’t take this as me defending them, but I think most honest people would have trouble articulating why this merits a $50mm lawsuit. Imagine a similar ruling coming down on your local cafe.
Far from my first choice, but maybe he will bring that shotgun and double tap bit from Zombieland to the Bond franchise.
People do tend to feel frustrated when announcements like this one come out, and I’m sure it was a hard decision for the dev team, but Plex really still just works so well for me. They do a great job.
I’m sure someday a better platform might come along, and when it does I will give it a try, but for me it just wasn’t jellyfin. Plex 4 lyfe now.
Is there a reason that you don’t organize your music by artist\album and leverage tags? It’s been some time since I tried Jellyfin, but Plex does an excellent job of tagging (not directly written to original files) and categorizing. It’s a good experience.
You should not be using NAT to access your Plex externally, I will explain.
App.plex.tv and the apps use Plex services to generate a point to point connection from remote clients through your router to the server. This is important because you never need to expose a private IP to the Internet, and the authentication can be protected with something robust like a Google account which support 2FA and even phishing-resistant 2FA.
The combination of more advanced security and secure/convenient SSO authentication are one of the biggest benefits of Plex in my opinion.
Wasn’t it ARM doing the licensing shenanigans here? I’ve got no real skin in the game for either, but companies with IP to license seem to have become a commodity, and price themselves out of practicality. For that reason I tend to like when they lose their battles. On this one specifically, I was hoping for Qualcomm to win, but only because they’re cranking out these incredible laptop processors, showing Intel what a windows laptop on ARM can be - fast, cool, all day battery.
For sure, that makes sense. To me, the biggest transition that I expect to see over the next few years in large enterprises will be to ARM-based Snapdragon chips from Intel and AMD. I’m sure some will also go Apple though.
I’m not sure I could see a significant number of enterprises switching to Mac, it’s just too tall of an order. My department definitely wouldn’t have the bandwidth to do controls, policies, service desk retraining, and internal app rewrites.
Personally I have switched to Mac and am very happy. The performance, OS, and power efficiency of the Macs are just excellent. I’ll likely never give up my Android phone.
Maybe they’ll finally pick something important to work on tomorrow. Probably not, but maybe. We still have other issues right? I heard a couple of planes fell out of the sky and eggs are $10 and the ice caps are gonna melt.
How many more times am I going to see this same title before X implodes?
Well hang tight there, the games are dope. Just the legal dicks are the scumbags.

Possibly, but it doesn’t have anything to do with being on-call.
Eyyy yes! I just picked up an MZ-N505 a few months ago! It’s been great at work to quickly start music without staring at my phone for 5 minutes first.
Eh, it’s not quite the same as other professions. If a sysadmin gets an after hours call, they must work it. If a ride share person is offered a fare, they can accept it or turn it down.
Plex, as a company, definitely is aware of what items are in your library but streams don’t go through the Plex servers unless you use the Plex proxy service which is enabled by default but only used when the client connection speed is too slow to use the desired streaming setting.
Everyone who accesses their Plex externally should use app.plex.tv rather than NAT/port forwarding unless you’re also doing IP whitelisting on the NAT (not feasible for most remote access scenarios, as IPs are dynamic in most cases). Jellyfin should never be exposed externally.
I work in a highly regulated sector of IT and have learned that even the most robust software will have serious exploits at some point.
What about these voters makes them unable to sympathize with others when it happens to them? I don’t work in the federal government, but I feel very sad for them when I see them getting fired and their agencies disassembled.
