Right now the iPhone can straight up connect to the Iridium Satellite network, which IMO is far more useful that FM radio in any emergency. At least that system can send and receive messages, including most importantly GPS Co-ordinates.

Some people host their plex on a VPS (basically your portion of a server on a cloud that you can do whatever with) server and Plex recently banned a really popular one suddenly.

Some people store their plex on a vps server, and plex recently banned the cheapest super popular one because some people were selling access to Plex servers on that host.

Ooops, Plex just banned the server provider you were using, guess you’ll have to migrate it all at the drop of a hat.

Yeah but if you want to switch from photographing birds to airplanes or fuckin lions or something you don’t need to change literally anything.

If an astrophotography invested 10k into DSO wants to take pictures of the sun, they’d need more equipment. Want to do lunar imaging, new stuff. Solar system objects, new stuff. Eclipse new stuff. Comets new stuff.

Yep, I was into regular photography, well the boring and hard branch of photography called bird photography and even I struggled with astrophotography.

It really feels like you can either not buy much equipment and struggle with moving the camera a tenth of a millimeter every 3 minutes or you buy an eq mount and hook up your camera to your laptop and come back after a 7 hours nap to a neat pile of pictures that don’t really show anything but after 4 hours of automated processing and some manual retouching show something about 80% good as Hubble. Which is nice, but it’s not exactly something unique. And the extra annoying thing is the only way you get better is by investing more money.

At least in bird photography once you’ve got the 600mm f/4 for 10k you’re set for life.
