the nice thing about having a plex server is if the internet goes down, I still have old movies or tv shows to watch.
it was really important when the kids were younger. especially during storms and such.
have battery backups for the plex server and a tv. so I could put on a funny kids show for them so they wouldn't freak out as bad on the thunder and lightning.

now that they are teenagers, it is important so they shut up about how the internet is down and they don't have anything to do.
it was out for like 2 days when att fiber came through and cut everyones lines.
