As many as most GPUs without all the extra cost and power draw. Nvidia sets a transcode limit of 2 sessions unless you disable it. You really shouldn't ever be transcoding 4k content. Most people will duplicate 1080p and 4k content and not share the 4k library for remote streaming/external users to avoid transcoding, and 1080p transcodes are no sweat. Furthermore, the goal should be to avoid transcoding wherever possible, so it's unlikely that you'd have multiple people doing intensive transcoding simultaneously if you follow the above advice. You'll want everyone to direct play as much as possible.

Yeah if I'm quick enough getting my shoes off so we're all together, I can go through the metal detector with my wife and kid since they almost always let the kid and parents use that over the mmWave machine.

The statement you just made is unabashedly stupid beyond all measure

It's hilarious you keep making statements like this as every point you make has been shown to either be uninformed or completely false. I sense strong projection here...

Everything you listed are crimes.

Torrenting isn't a crime and downloading others' IP is also not a crime. Sharing others' IP can be a crime in some jurisdictions. There is also a gap as wide as the Grand Canyon between sharing a Taylor Swift album and distributing child porn or hacking into government systems which is why I put a qualifier on my statement. I'm surprised a stable genius such as yourself couldn't understand the difference. You're basically claiming that speeding and murder are equivalent crimes here.

It's essentially illegal in every sovereign country on the planet save for a few.

What exactly are you defining as illegal here and what's the level of enforcement in all these locations? Weed is illegal everywhere in the US, and yet I have been able to drive down to a store and buy it for the past 10 years without issue. Once again you don't seem to grasp what you're discussing, and I notice that you conveniently left off the rest of that statement since you presumably can't form a coherent rebuttal like we keep seeing in all of your other comments here. For someone who puts their intelligence in such high regard, your replies seem to be anything but.

The workers were able to see your genitals, they just claim that they don't now but we have no real evidence to confirm that.

Clear was kinda bullshit, and how it was cost effective to have agents "selling" you on the service at the airport.

Is bullshit. They're expanding it. I was in the Orlando airport a few months ago waiting in the long ass TSA lines while Clear employees went to everyone in line offering a free trial and "you don't have to wait in this line." It's fucking insane that the government can create these delays with the TSA and then goad people into signing up for an expensive service with a private company to bypass the very problem that they created. Says a lot about the "security" too when you can just skip it by ponying up a little bit of cash.

Mullvad didn't remove port forwarding because people were torrenting too much they removed it because people were using it for real criminal activity like hacking and CP and they were getting heat for it.

I have no idea why you're mentioning legal versus illegal torrenting as laws differ everywhere, they're not banning OP for illegal activity, they're not scanning all your files to determine whether it's legal IP or not, and they're banning him for using too much bandwidth.

Same here. Switched from Mullvad to AirVPN once they dropped port forwarding. I have had several issues with the Eddie client, but wound up dropping it in favor of gluetun and Wiresock with Wireguard configs and have had zero issues.

Unlimited means no data cap, not infinite bandwidth

How is limited bandwidth not a data cap? When you multiply a bandwidth limit x the number of days, hours, minutes, etc in a month, it sure looks like a data cap to me.

Will people just abandon them and the bank accounts they’re linked to?

I would. If these people are Canadian citizens, why would they care if some US company sues them in US court?

I doubt any of these snowbirds need to worry about the resale value of their homes in a couple of decades. They'll be dead by then.

I don't know how Kodi still goes on for this long. I messed around with it over a decade ago and had all the same issues back then.
