True. Doctorow is not exactly one to restrain himself in lieu of a stinging hyperbole.

I understand. Graphene seems like the best place to invest. It's a shame they are available on so few devices.

Which alternative ROMs will work with F-Droid after the changes to Android go through?

Data centers and power generation are IRL investments that are needed whether it’s for AI use or not.

Well said, and I think a good comparison (and something Doctorow has brought up before) is that the dot-com bubble built a ton of infrastructure and fiber networks that were later able to be utilized. He sort of touched on this when he said "Plan for a future where you can buy GPUs for ten cents on the dollar".

That all said, as Ed Zitron is oft to highlight, something like 30% of the value of the SNP 500 is in "AI" right now. Even a relatively small pop could lead to more widespread repercussions.

"Chaufferdriven" sounds like a city in Germany

But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.

If these catch on (unlikely imo) it's only a matter of time before I have an awkward interaction with someone when they come into my house wearing them...

Sorry to have annoyed you.

I know it's fashionable to shit on Plex here, but OP either has his server misconfigured or is just trying to stir the pot:
