Kids programming today, far and wide, is much more "dopamine" delivering hard hitting attention grabbing. great if you want to plop your kid down and use the screen as a babysitter, I guess (that's what they are doing now anyways, right?). But if you actually care about the development of the kids, it isn't the best thing for them. This is a pretty good article to read. Even if you don't plan on feeding your kid 90s kids shows all day, the real kicker here is understanding what the shows are doing to the kids and how it affects them.]]>

Quote:Once the new Plex Pass prices kick in, remote streaming of content in personal Plex media libraries won’t be free anymore. That means if you want to stream your Plex Media Server content outside your home—or, crucially, if you want to stream media from another Plex Media Server user who doesn’t have a Plex Pass—you’ll need to pay up. 

So, if you are a free-tier user you will no longer be able to access your own library remotely. Nor will you be able to watch other's libraries. And, if you're a paid user, you will not be able to remotely access a non-paid users' library.

Price is going up to $250USD for the lifetime pass. Monthly rates also going up, if you use the Plex Pass subscription.]]> https://www.pcworld.com/article/2642674/...-hike.html

Many services offer an incentive if you refer someone else to sign up. Usually, this benefits both parties and just requires a referral link to redeem it. As long as you disclose what each party receives, feel free to share any referral links to services you use - it might help someone else, and helps you at the same time!

Coupon/Discount Codes
Similar to referral links, some services sometimes publish coupons or discount codes to offer additional benefits for purchases. This might be in the form of money off, additional length of subscription, additional features, or other bonuses and incentives that help the vendor drive their business.

This is not a place to advertise your own business. Do not create referral links, coupons, or discount codes for businesses with which you are affiliated in a manner other than that of a customer. We are not a place to advertise to.


My Referral Links
Vultr.com - VPS Hosting - https://www.vultr.com/?ref=9712766-9J

  • $300 Credit
  • Expires in 30 days
I will get:
  • $100 Credit

Why I use it:
I have used Vultr for almost 10 years. It runs the DoTheNeedful bot, the website, these forums, a few other things. It's cheap, it's fast, and I have only ever opened one support ticket, not related to the infrastructure or the service itself, my entire account lifetime.]]> Referral Links
