41·1 year agoI don’t see as nearly as many used ThinkCentre Tinys for sale with post 7th gen chips. I wonder if this is why.
QuickSync is available on earlier gen machines. I have 7th gen with it.
Hey, thanks so much for following up! I was very happy to stumble into good fortune here :-)
Thank you!
Oh, I got lucky then. I thought it was only 8th gen onward, based on another user’s comment. Is there a name for the gpu tech, so I can look it up?
I bought Plex Pass lifetime about 5 years ago, so will go hunting for that setting, thanks!
And it works on 7th gen Intel chips?
Is that a client setting or Plex server setting? I haven’t noticed it before.
You are a godsend. Thank for you for the really cogent advice. Setting up Unraid now.
Thank you! Am I going to run into transcoding issues with 7th gen i5 on several streams? I only have six users, and all but one of them have modern Roku or Apple TV devices.
Oh, and should I use the 258GB M.2 already in the box for the config and database, or use the 2TB 970 EVO SSD?
We can’t be far from the first wave of uniquely targeted scam ads with faked photos/audio/video of the user’s friends, family, boss, etc.
My mother-in-law sent thousands of dollars for years to a fake UN official.
It’s a mitzvah indeed!
Have also heard of adult children installing Pi-holes in their parents’ houses to stop them from visiting Qanon hotbeds.
Make a Pi-hole for friends/family, unless you want to build discrete hardware projects that don’t need a fast CPU. My 17-year-old niece is doing breadboard projects on this gen of Pi.

Claude is my boy. So pleasant.
FWIW, this free app solves for that issue well; I have several clammed Macs running it right now:
I think you’ll feel the same way about getting a Neuralink.
I was top mod of a 25K sub that closely followed an IRL lolcow trying to become a public intellectual. It was thankless, the monthly user tempests in a teapot were annoying, and dealing with the occasional new junior mod turning out to be a chud was taxing. I did it for maybe six months and then peaced out.
I honestly don’t understand the psychological makeup and social model of the big top mods who do this shit, day in day out, year after year. I assume they’ve got to be making money somehow, or they maybe are bubble-boys.
Crusades?
Cross words?
Xits?
That was very helpful, thanks!
Only problem I have left is getting NGINX Reverse Proxy Manager set up, so that I can offer Overseerr webpage. The Let’s Encrypt cert generator keeps throwing an internal error at the last step. Something is preventing LE from reaching my server, and I’m too clueless to solve at this point.
