  • This seems plausible so I tried other browsers and computers on my network.

    Edge, Firefox, Brave, Arc, and DuckDuckGo all showed the same page on Ebay with “Trending in Sneakers” and “Trending in Watches”. I was searching for sneakers recently but not watches.

    Orion is the only one that showed “Your Recently Viewed Items” with specific items I was looking at in Safari. I went ahead and chose “Reset Orion” from the menu and see it’s now operating the same as the other browsers.



  • I use this as a guide but I generally brew my tea a bit cooler to avoid bitterness.

    Green/White Tea:
    Water temperature should be close to 85C Use 5-6 grams of green/white tea per 100ml of volume. Brief 10 second wash… then 10s, 15s, 20s, 30s, 45s, and then maybe a minute each time until it’s brewed out. I prefer to gradually coax out the subtle flavors.

    Black Tea:
    Water temperature should be close to 90C Use 5-6 grams of black tea per 100ml of volume. Brief 10 second wash… then 10s, 15s, 20s, 30s, 45s, and then maybe a minute each time until it’s brewed out. I prefer to gradually coax out the subtle flavors.

    Oolong Tea:
    Water temperature should be close to 95C (or higher). Use 4-5 grams of oolong tea per 100ml of volume. Brief 10 second wash… then 10s, 15s, 20s, 30s, 45s, and then maybe a minute each time until it’s brewed out. I prefer to gradually coax out the subtle flavors.

    Pu-erh Tea:
    Pu-erh tea brewing is not so different from oolong teas. You want the water as hot as possible when you pour it into the pot. If you are going to use yixing, I would dedicate one pot for ripe pu-erh and another for raw. Up to you.

    Fair enough. Plex may not have the bells and whistles but it’s simple and intuitive to use. I’ve also tried the QuMagie app on my QNAP which does have all those features but found it to be a bit more cumbersome than it was worth.

    I tried Google Photos briefly as well and was very shocked at how bad it is, compared to Apple Photos. It took me several days just to figure out how to delete more than one picture at a time. I have to assume it’s much more robust on an Android than on an iPhone but even their web interface was horrible.




  • I’m not getting into how long a copyright should last. I don’t have a meaningful opinion on it.

    What it seems people are overlooking (or forgiving?) is that the guy published a book about characters (IP) he doesn’t own. Taking something that doesn’t belong to you is theft.

    Whether or not Amazon should option his material is irrelevant if he didn’t get permission to use it in the first place. I mean, fan fiction is one thing. Creative license and educational purposes could be argued. But he published a freaking book!

    Do you think Zack Snyder should get to put out a Rebel Moon and call it “Rebel Moon: A Star Wars Story” without getting permission or paying for licensing? Is this the reality this sub believes we live in? If you write a novel and I read it and soon start writing better more successful stories based explicitly on your characters without crediting you or sharing in my profit, how would you feel? Should your work be public domain? Is that what you (collective) feel is best for “the public”?

    I don’t really have an opinion on what should happen with the work either. I could see some cases where it would be a major loss for the public to have the work erased. This could be catastrophic for classic literature. For something so new and not having any established cultural significance (as much as you wish it did), I’d go with whatever a judge believes is best under the law. You’re welcome to argue the validity of the law, and I may agree with you, but that’s a different conversation.
