You can run them concurrently and let grandma continue to use plex.

Fyi, Skype was officially killed by Microsoft on May 5th, earlier this month.

One of the security upsides to plex is that any number of people can log in with the same credential.

That means that while Plex can harvest information- what account, what’s being watched, IP address, device and player identifier- It doesn’t know who to attach that information to. So you can get dozens or maybe hundreds of users polluting the same account with watch information. Less useful information to be sure.

I fail to see how electronics in these (unpowered) devices in any way reduce the amount of power that they use.
