I bought Plex pass years ago for £79. The new price of $749.99 is INSANE.

No wonder all the cool people are using Jellyfin.

    Google makes a lot of money off that sentiment. The compute power of their latest Pixel has been compared to that of the iPhone 11 (2019). And it makes Google on average $1700 a year. More off some people than others.

    But hey, vote with your wallet. Put your money into companies that will make the world you want to live in. I admit, I’m living in the past thinking of Apple as the Steve Jobs led company of 1983 with the six colours logo. But I still think computers should serve people first. Maybe none really do anymore, but that’s what I want.

      How much did the most recent iPhone cost again?

      And yes, you’re in the past, they’ve not been a computer company in at least a decade

        Same as the most recent Pixel and Galaxy… and it’s faster than both. Your point?

        Also, the most recent phones aren’t necessary. We hit a plateau years ago. Your phone is mostly limited by its ageing battery more than anything else.

      My Pixel 10 Pro feels just as fast as my iPhone 16 Pro. I feel like they are both good phones and other than specifications on paper and benchmarks online I wouldn’t know the Pixel was that much inferior.

      Sure I don’t game or do video editing on a phone so maybe I’m just not the target audience but for general use I think Google have done a good job.

        I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max (2024) and a Galaxy S10 (2019). I think the iPhone might boot up a second faster? Has a better battery. Better camera. I’d be perfectly happy using the S10 as a daily driver. And to think an iPhone 11 (also 2019) is faster? We hit a plateau years ago. All a newer/faster phone is really for is top-end gaming (hobbled by a 6-7” screen) and AI. And the Pixel 10 Pro has some solid AI features. Of course, compute power doesn’t matter if it’s done off-site. (Not sure how Pixel does it.)
