I think cooler is subjective. With a physical keyboard back in the day and Remote Desktop, I had a pocket-sized Windows PC with me at all times. With SSH, I had a portable terminal I could easily administer servers around the world with. I thought that was pretty cool.

Now I'm tap typing on a device with no physical feedback where the keyboard hides half the screen and reshuffles my terminal output every time said keyboard is shown and hidden. That's not cool at all.

I'm upset that they'll make foldable screens before adding a physical keyboard "because movable parts break too often".

I would counter that I still feel Solid Explorer is the best, but I'm aware that's just my opinion.

FFS Plex, the server is on my local network in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Thank you! That is exactly my point.

That's not quite the same - that gives you the appearance of being a local device, which is enough to fool the restriction.

Their policy and technology enforcement is to charge for remote access, not relaying.

They charge for remote access whether it's through their relay service or not, and you can't opt out of fallback to their relay service.

Google reveals its Android for PC is coming next year in c/android@lemdro.id

I don't know if we're guaranteed to see the same level of support for Android based devices, and if Google decides they're not marketable enough, they could drop support as soon as before they even launch as they have with previous hardware initiatives.

If they think I'm going to purchase a computer that will become unsupported between 2-7 years from now and refuse to install the software I want to install, they're insane.
