I haven't heard about Sand Land at all, but after checking it out, that looks cool!

Not sure how well it holds up since nobody mentions it, but Tiny Tank was fun when I was a kid!

You're a sarcastic tank and fight other huge robots after they took over the world basically. You have 4 spots on your tank to put a lot of different weapons and could upgrade them during the level with positronic brains from enemies to make them more advanced (e.g. homing missiles, faster firing, etc.)

I can't be sure since technology has so many different factors, but splitting a single Ethernet out into multiple with a network switch won't really affect it much if at all. Cat5e cable/jack (common for most cables) gets 1 gigabit, so unless you have a gigabit connection and maxing out the connections already, you shouldn't notice it.

As for WiFi, even though a lot of newer technology is great, it's not going to beat Ethernet.

I was in a previous update wave, and it made me switch to Jellyfin too. I cast from my phone to my TV, and they did something that made subtitles basically impossible to load via Chromecast. Even trying to automatically burn in subtitles didn't work for this mode.

Also, while a "minor" nitpick, Chromecast used to show random movie/TV show posters when you connected and also show the media details when you selected something, now it just shows a big PLEX logo all the time unless playing something.

My wife and I saw this ad in the theatres before the movie and just looked at each other like, "what the fuck?".

Even making it from the daughter's perspective would have made it so much better. AI is helpful for writing to get some ideas, but why is it so hard for companies to understand people want human interaction in their projects... Who was that ad even for?

As a final note, the "just like you" felt so weird and made me uncomfortable; it took the daughter's voice away basically.
