Like everything in this world, I think it's situation dependent.

I traveled for work, and would live out of a hotel room for 4-5 weeks at a time. I have a gaming laptop that doesn't fit in the bin while going through TSA. Always got comments about it. But damn, if I didn't love setting it up in my hotel room and leaving it there during my tour and being able to play some games during my evenings.

It was WELL worth it!

I would start by asking my question over at explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world

On the computer thread, changing the keys on their keyboard is also fun. Works better if they are a touch typist as well, as they may go several hours/days before noticing, until they have to look for that one special key. :)

In all seriousness, there is a radio lab episode out there talking about tiny black holes. Apparently, they might be all over the universe, and can sometimes hit earth, create a massive crater that has no meteorite debris, exit the other side of earth, and could be an explanation for all the dark matter around the universe!

It was a really fascinating episode, and I highly recommend giving it a listen!

I feel like I have to beg my friends to use my Plex server. Like what the hell? I'm offering you ~1000 movies free, and all you have to do is register for a Plex account, but for some reason registering for Plex is way too hard and confusing (even though it's the same process as any other service).

Whatever, guess I'll enjoy my movies myself then. 🤷

Amazing! Thank you for your fast and accurate reply! That did the trick!

 

I'm starting to create managed user accounts for my two daughters on plex. They are 7 and 4, so movies I'm giving them access to consist mostly of Pixar/Disney type stuff. Well, when I log into their users, it has recently added movies and TV shows, which show appropriatle the things I've given access to from my server. But below those it has "Binge Worthy Shows" "Plex Picks" "Summer Lovin'" and a few others which are all hosted "(on plex)" It even is advertising "The Marksman" right now, which is a guy holding a shotgun on the cover.

Is there a way to turn off those (on plex) suggestions so it ONLY shows the movies that exist on my server? Ideally I could just turn off those suggestions on a user basis as well.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Yep, this is called the Dunning-Kreueger effect.
