If they haven't switched yet, they aren't going to now. Unfortunately the reality.

Agreed and his personality takes over the story which works for men in black but I don't think it would for the matrix.

Basically the same character in all those movies. Not a criticism but it's the same dude. Neo is not a bad ass running down a cephalopod. He's learning and adapting to a system and using his mind. I just dont see it working out as well as he is a front man, not a team. He takes over the story with personality.

That has some really insightful advice and even something I hadn't considered. They mentioned that with enough users, even bugs become features that are used. People rely on the way a system works, whether it was intentional or not and maintenance could mean disruption.

I am not a dev but I am in IT and think quite a few of these ideas could be applied outside of code.

It's one of those "the right story but told the wrong way" movies. We need a fan edit!

I still like the movie although it is definitely a movie I have to be in a mood for. However, after I watch the ending I realize I want the future people and technology to be a movie.

It wpuld be more interesting to reimagine the film as future archeologists discovering this story but maybe not getting it exactly right based only on artifacts. More like short stories being told through the film. It would have had the same message, characters and locations, but would have been more focused as the stories they showed would have had to be ultra relevant to the plot. Not sure if any of this makes sense.

I am glad the crew didn't just go on a zombie shooting spree, but all that did was make the Klingons do it instead. Wish we could have seen them save the zombies or at least tell us they'll work with the Klingons to do something about the planet or put a new warning message, etc. if they are made of moss why do they explode with blood when shot?

The flowers were cool.

I think what I'm missing was some depth, all this stuff happened but not really full explanations for things that aren't intended to be mysteries.

Let the doctor be a doctor without him having to also be a superhero imo

I'm not trying to pick the whole episode apart but it was also confusing we didn't know where they were in the building fully, it was hard to follow. They were in what felt like basement then suddenly on the roof of a tall building.

Or Microsoft who randomly needs to verify someone's identity before they can log into.tgeir computer but the user doesn't have a smart phone. So they need to call someone trusted to have them log into their email from a different computer just to get the code so the user can log into their computer.

But that also means they didn't have access to any saved passwords so a notebook helps.

I really should put Linux on her machine but then I have to show her how to do that too. It's a lose-lose so I keep it the same.

I miss local accounts.

I kind of am, but radarr has an editions field which it uses for the file and that seems to be incomplete or inconsistent for my files. It wasn't a problem before but changing so many at once requires good data first.

Thanks for the tip. I've used Plex for so long with manual file name and folder changes so it covered up my issue and now I'm correcting it.

I still have to update the jellyfin title manually though. Jellyfins versions only work with multiple versions of the same file, not if you only have one version in the library that I want labeled as a special edition or something.

I understand. I have converted fully to JF which required people to get onn players, and tunnel into my network and it was a lot of work on my end too.

Do what works for you and them.

Congrats. I'm super particular about covers and naming and the conversion of file names that Plex needed to jellyfin is intensive.

I finally got got JF up and running but still working on adding edition names to each item that is special. I really wish there was an editions field so it wasn't a manual title update. At least I can lock the field afterwards.

The onn boxes run android so it's just installed as an app from play store. The users connect with their own tailscale account. My server is shared so they see it. Then they install jellyfin on the device, punch in the hostname of the server given by tailscale and the port and then it connects.

I could not get my reverse proxy to let them use my local domain.. I'm not smart enough and couldn't figure it out but they are only using jellyfin so typing one address was fine.
