You are wrong that he should immediately change his app name.

This is a letter from an attorney. It means nothing. It’s legally the same as if I got my buddy to walk up to you and say, “Hey, my friend thinks you have his car. Give us your keys.”

The letter is from a lawyer, not a court. It can be ignored. However I suggest sending a registered letter back to the lawyer to waste their time.

They will not spend the $20,000+ needed to go to trial. (That’s only the court costs that must be paid. Full lawyer fees will be higher) I know this because I once had to sue a contractor. Court fees would have been larger than any money I would have gotten back. Fortunately it was handled through state licensing.

The letter should reference that your project is using the English word that describes the function.

I went through this decades ago because my Internet company name closely matched an extremely large computer manufacturer. I got a letter from an attorney. I wrote a letter back that my company name was the English word for the equipment used for Internet service. That was the end of it.

Around every 6 years.

My methodology is to look at BackBlaze, throw out any data with less than 100k hours, and pick the drive with the lowest AFR (annualized failure rate).

It’s maybe $50-$100 between the cheapest and best enterprise drive and I’m not buying 1,000 drives so I do not care about price.

Because the meme blames Intel.

Imagine if I did a meme that blamed AMD for only supporting DDR4 because my motherboard only did DDR4 despite all AMD 7000 and newer supporting DDR4 or DDR5…

Oh sure. But as I said, that’s the motherboard’s fault, not the cpu.

PAE was introduced with the Pentium Pro 30 years ago. I used it on Dell Pentium II servers that ran SQL Server. Even the 386 from 1985 could access 64 terabytes of ram using segmented mode.

Full 64 bit Prescott P4 was 2004.

The Pentium 4 supported PAE and 36 bit PSE

It’s kind of like how the 8086 was a 16 bit processor but could access 1 megabyte of ram (640k ram 384 k reserved for rom) . -Or the 286 which was 16 bit but could access 24 MB.

But even without that the Prescott P4’s supported 64 bits.

Maybe. But it would need to be an Atom from 15 years ago. Anything newer does 32 GB.

Of course motherboards don’t support it but that’s not the cpu’s fault.

That’s Lenovo’s fault, not Intel.

What hardware are you using where the cpu says you are limited to 4gb?

Even a 25 year old Pentium 4 supports 8GB.

If you have that lying around, you can still beat a pi 5 by only buying an i5 motherboard instead of an entire pc. As to handling the bloat, it’s faster.

Downside to mini PC is very limited storage room in mini PCs for local Plex content. They typically have 1-2 Nvme slots. You can get a 12TB 3.5" for the price of one 4tb.

As others gave said, the solution is a VM but once setup correctly, you won’t notice.

If Windows is your primary computer, install HyperV, the built in VM manager for Windows. Then create a Linux VM for your NAS.

Once setup, you won’t even notice. HyperV auto saves and reloads the VM whenever you reboot. You don’t even need a window open for the VM, it runs in the background until you run the manager to connect to the VM and see it in a window.

If Linux is your primary OS, do the reverse and put Windows in a Linux VM.

Don’t hassle with Proxmox, etc. That’s for running lots of VM’s and toggling between them.
