  • Wonder how many things they shit up

    I was surprised to find that an old Plex feature, controlling any one player from any other instance, such as playing on a laptop and controlling with a cell phone, no longer worked. My wife and I used that a lot when traveling, as plugging a laptop into a hotel TV with an HDMI cable is generally far more bullet proof than any streaming stick

    Course sometimes we’d stay in an Airbnb, and they’d have a Roku or Apple TV, where we’d just sign into a Plex app and use it there. But that’s beyond the point















  • Very large part of why I moved away to kagi. It just works.

    Additionally, it’s system of weighting, instead of just a binary block, is very useful. Take fandom wikis for example. They’re awful, yes, but sometimes they’re the only result for a topic, and will do if needed. With a binary block list, you either see them or you don’t. With the weighted system, you can downrank them, so if better results show up, they appear higher in the listing than the downranked ones
