So in the millenial facts list....
One fact: Millennial are crippled by financial debt, primarily from student debts, more than other generations.
Second fact: A vastly higher percentage of millennial went to university compared to other generations.
Um, yeah, duh. Why don't they even mention these two facts together - when people who have no business going to college spend time and money on college instead of working, they go into debt and it generally cripples them. The difference is that millennials are unique in believing that college was their right and responsibility and didn't see it in the context of it helping them get jobs.

I've been running Kodi using Emby as a backend. It's seamless, and displays through the Kodi frontend. And it transcodes on the fly. I've played a 4K movie transcoded to my laptop over WiFI without blocking or skipping once.

That has nothing to do with Kodi or Emby and everything with the CPU available to whatever is running your media server to do the re-encoding on the fly.

If one has a good graphics card, is it better to use that for re-encoding when using Kodi, Emby or Plex?

I did not know I can use mstsc as a remote viewer (shadow) and control a computer.

Since I run in a VM in a computer without any graphics functionality beyond basic, I have no idea.

First time setting up a domain (personal domain) for emails. I'm using Zoho Mail.
I don't like ZoHo's interface. I've been debating what to do with a few personal domains I have.
Neither do I, but $12 / year for my eddiejennings.net E-mail and have some clear separation from personal and business (O365 business essentials) is a great deal.

How did you get a picture of my chair?

@scottalanmiller lol. I'm constantly vacuuming because the chair keeps shedding.

Yeah try a few opensource/free ones but found that the easiest and quickest to go from setup, upload, and play back.

I think I need to as well.
I bought a used chair that I've been using at my office for 8+ years - it's a steelcase, I think I spent $60 on it. Normally they are like $350+

And still am!
The auction house sent me a link for their current stuff... I'm thinking of getting another for home.
