The middle piece is thin and does look fragile, but you can't put any real side load on it. The outer wall of the connector takes that force before you can put any real force on the middle. Unless you're jamming a flathead screwdriver or something in it.

Beyond that, the springloaded contacts are on the cable end with type-c, with lightning it's inside the phone. I don't think it's a particularly common failure mode, but having less moving parts in the expensive bit is generally a good idea.

They "lost everything" because they failed to set up even the most basic and critical maintenance functions built into ZFS. I don't think the responsibility in this incident could fall any more squarely on the shoulders of the people who set it up.

Jellyfin is fully open-source and doesn't require any third party authentication. It's not quite feature complete versus Plex but it is very close, and has never been a issue for me or my users.

I understand that at the end of the day, entertainment is just what entertains you, but it's hard for me to dismiss the idea that concentrated & repeated instant gratification is a detriment to a person's mind outside the scope of entertainment. This isn't a criticism of tiktok specifically but I think it's probably the purest form of this idea that I've come across.
