Hypothetical bullshit on what could happen;

July 1st, after a whole bunch of panic buys, "we’ve listened to community feedback and re-evaluated our pricing to be more in line with our community values. We are happy to announce a lifetime $300 Plex Subscriptions, it comes with an industry leading 2 year of Plex Pass at no cost.

Hey don’t lump me in with those whiny clowns! I’m a whiny clown in a clown suit. Damn foreigners making extremely generalized assumptions about us /s

Unfortunately, that’s probably not gonna happen without some new hardware.

You could setup a wire guard at the router (can you setup tail scale on a router? idk). If she’s renting the ISP router, replacing that could save a 100+ a year, depending on how much the isp is scamming her for it.

or you could repurpose a minipc/nuc from bay and set up a jellyfin streaming box with tailscale.

If you have the extra hardware, you could also setup a local server with her jellyfin and use wiregaurd/tailscale to remotely connect to it and run backup/sync during off-hours.

Well, there’s a big difference between “knowing” something and knowing something (i.e proof your intuition is right).

Because what Bamboo has done is screw over existing customers. People want their printers back to the way they baught it. They shouldn’t have to throw their printers in the trash because the manufacture decided to changed the conditions.

If you buy a car with heated seats and 3 years later, the manufacture decided to disable your heated seats unless you paid a subscription, you’d be pretty upset.
