I bought Plex pass years ago for £79. The new price of $749.99 is INSANE.
No wonder all the cool people are using Jellyfin.

Google makes a lot of money off that sentiment. The compute power of their latest Pixel has been compared to that of the iPhone 11 (2019). And it makes Google on average $1700 a year. More off some people than others.
But hey, vote with your wallet. Put your money into companies that will make the world you want to live in. I admit, I’m living in the past thinking of Apple as the Steve Jobs led company of 1983 with the six colours logo. But I still think computers should serve people first. Maybe none really do anymore, but that’s what I want.
How much did the most recent iPhone cost again?
And yes, you're in the past, they've not been a computer company in at least a decade
Same as the most recent Pixel and Galaxy… and it’s faster than both. Your point?
Also, the most recent phones aren’t necessary. We hit a plateau years ago. Your phone is mostly limited by its ageing battery more than anything else.
Apple devices definition don't serve people first lol
My Pixel 10 Pro feels just as fast as my iPhone 16 Pro. I feel like they are both good phones and other than specifications on paper and benchmarks online I wouldn't know the Pixel was that much inferior.
Sure I don't game or do video editing on a phone so maybe I'm just not the target audience but for general use I think Google have done a good job.
I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max (2024) and a Galaxy S10 (2019). I think the iPhone might boot up a second faster? Has a better battery. Better camera. I’d be perfectly happy using the S10 as a daily driver. And to think an iPhone 11 (also 2019) is faster? We hit a plateau years ago. All a newer/faster phone is really for is top-end gaming (hobbled by a 6-7” screen) and AI. And the Pixel 10 Pro has some solid AI features. Of course, compute power doesn’t matter if it’s done off-site. (Not sure how Pixel does it.)
