Multiple Editions - Movies Tip!: The ability to specify different editions for a movie requires a Plex Pass subscription for Server admin account. Currently,...

I have studied Plex a little more over the past few days, and found a way to improve recognition of lesser-known films and learned how to show more than one version of the same movie. It’s about metadata in the file names.

Have learned a bit more about T2 Intel Macs and Apple Configurator. Love it when the envelope gets bigger. Confounded that DFU uses different tools depending on the device you’re working on.

So crestfallen that Apple Magic Keyboards — at least circa model A1644 — will only pair to a single device. That is awesome with Universal Control, but not awesome when you are away from that station

I hope you’re having a good day. I wish you the best of luck in keeping the signal to noise ratio trending in a good direction.

No advice. No sales. Just a person here wanting to be a part of building something better for everyone.

My kid’s listening to Laurie Anderson. Excellent!

Looking West on Margaret Street, enjoying the sunset earlier this evening

Sometimes it rains on the island. Even in July.

I’m at the point in my Animal Crossing New Horizon’s play where I take everything to Cyrus to see what’s possible. I haven’t thought of everything, yet.

TIL that Apple Wallet/Apple Pay can inject information into your order that you did not expect. I created a problem and it has consequences. SO just be certain that your billing and shipping address in the Apple Wallet app are what you expect with respect to the order you are placing and for whom.

OMG. Intended “if that’s the worst thing that happens” and I need to slow down and proof read

If that’s there’s thing that happens, I’ll be okay. Started with some Coke but switched back to machine brewed coffee from the company kitchenette

That moment you decide to bookmark a page after searching for the chat for the link. Then you realize there is already a shortcut clearly visible at the top of the browser window.

The feeling you get, as you rush to head out the door in the morning, when you pour hot water out of the coffee pot—instead of the coffee that you thought you brewed.

Happy Father’s Day!

ACNH Fit Check

I went to the store before it opened in order to get the thing. There were enough for everybody who was there. Now I can’t use the thing until I get home from work, but I’m excited.

I have been playing ACNH for years, now. But only recently discovered how really useful Cyrus is on Harv’s Island. I dropped A LOT of Bells, today.

It’s a Lofi Girl and Animal Crossing kind of night chez moi

Meet your TV concierge. Enjoy all of your entertainment, no matter where it lives, plus 50,000+ free titles from us.

Having built a few manual collections in Plex, and seeing how many collections Plex will create for you automatically, I think it would be nice to offer the ability to build collections around characters, directors, actors, or studios. Plex already has the metadata.

Interesting day for Teams rooms where I work. Five of them were down hard. I think four cases out of five required a hard shutdown of the Teams PC. All of these were basic rooms with a TAP or table-top touch panel and a single display. A few had ancillary mics.

Xfinity may not be having a good night. One ping session I let run for a while showed 78% packet loss. Posting this via mobile.
