Sure but even in that context, where I live an Xbox controller costs between ~$80 to just over a hundred depending on the design. The Elite controller is ~$200 (or currently on sale for $150).

So with that context, the $150 price point of the Steam Controller is really not that high, especially when you consider the hall effect joysticks, trackpads, gyro, and Valve’s really strong track record of supporting their hardware post-launch.

Note: all prices are in Canadian dollars

Out of curiosity why are you reluctant to buy a Shield?

I was on the fence for a while but I’ve been extremely happy with it and have only run into minimal issues (and significantly less than with my smart tv before).

No, I’m pretty sure you’re running into a much more obscure problem than you realize. I’ve never had a single password be forgetten, nor has any other person I know with a steam deck.

Not only that but difficulty building habits is literally a symptom of ADHD.

My recommendation for research papers would be Zotero. You have the option of using their cloud (free and paid tiers are available) or you can simply point it at where you’d like to store your documents (this will be up to personal preference, I’ve seen it done using sync tools and self-hosted “clouds” such as Nextcloud).

I’ve personally been using Zotero for just over 6 or 7 years and it’s honestly been such a game changer for my productivity. Not only does it help keep track of my research, but it also has a very robust plugin ecosystem (such as automatically fetching missing DOIs, more advanced file renaming, fetching stats on papers such as how frequently it’s been cited, etc.).

I’d be happy to help you get it setup if you give it a shot and run into any issues!

You do realize that Jellyseerr is a fork of Overseerr which was created for Plex. So this is in no way a unique feature or even an advantage of Jellyfin over Plex…

I can’t say there was anything that I really disliked about it, I actually really liked the app overall but I’ve been using Plexamp since basically the first public release so that just feels a bit more familiar. Plus I heavily use the sonic analysis features which I don’t believe exist outside of plexamp (please someone tell me if I’m wrong here).

Completely agree. I paid for Symfonium after seeing a lot of people on here raving about it but I still ended up back with Plexamp. I’d be curious to hear what people find other apps do better than plexamp.

If you have music on your server, I’d strongly recommend checking it out. I believe it was started as a side project by the Plex devs and it’s a way better music player than the one built into the Plex apps.

You’re 100% correct. I always find it funny how hardcore some people are with jellyfin vs Plex. I’ll probably end up getting downvotes on this but imo Plex is way simpler to setup and keep running, and as a lifetime pass owner, I’ve very rarely felt like my experience has been deteriorated by any of the changes that the jellyfin crowd freaks out about. Plus plexamp is honestly such a great music player. I’ll happily keep running Plex for the foreseeable future.

Other than ZFS as someone mentioned already, they also offer dual drive parity now. IMO it’s a good balance to also allow a very flexible and easily expandable array.
