This is probably a better analogy. Thanks.

Should the USPS/AusPost/your local postal service be allowed to cut off a household’s postal service because someone received pirated CDs in the mail? That’s essentially the same thing. If anything, internet access is more important than mail these days.

Unfortunately it looks like that one is for Apple devices, whereas I use Linux on desktop and Android on mobile.

There’s some, but I haven’t seen any that have the main features Plex and Plexamp have:

• Cross-fading when playing random tracks, but gapless playback when playing an album in order
• Analysis of the music using a local neutral network, such that you can tell it to play play “similar” sounding songs to the current one
• Automatic playlists - liked songs, decades, etc
• Downloads for offline playback
• Multiple libraries, for example I keep regular music separate from DJ mixes
• Equalizer with presets for common headphones

And probably other things I’m forgetting.

Thankfully CGNAT isn’t as common in the USA as it is in other countries. In the US, ISPs generally either offer native IPv4 (most of the major ones), or only use IPv6 and provide IPv4 at all. The latter is the case with a lot of the mobile carriers, especially T-Mobile. Your phone only gets an IPv6 address, and their network uses 464XLAT to connect to legacy IPv4-only servers.

Do you have a CVE for this?

Plex still has the most fully-featured music streaming app (Plexamp)

Prices rarely, if ever, go down in a meaningful degree.

In 2011, there was a large flood in Thailand that impacted ~40% of hard drive manufacturing. As a result, hard drives significantly increased in price. This was back when SSDs weren’t mainstream yet.

A year or two later, when manufacturing capacity was restored, prices were essentially back to what they were before the disruption.

Apart from disruptions like that, HDDs, SSDs, and RAM have always been going down in price.
