Let’s toss them in a lake! If they die they weren’t a witch! If they don’t… We then know they are a witch!

Either way… Huzzah!

This is the way

Recently I had a server failure… I was in the middle of Sg-1.

So went to prime video to watch it…

It was 4:3 dark and the audio was horrible… Oh and ads. It has ads.

Gross :/

hey man get on vent

Man those were the days .

I had to print something yesterday… I submitted it to staples and went and picked it up.

Cost me $2

I expect that 10 pages will be all I’ll have to print in 2024.

In the last 5 years I’ve spent less than $10 on printing.

If I had to actually print items… I’d get a inexpensive brother laser printer

Man GPM was the jam… found so many new artists with that service. I was an early adopter and gladly paid my monthly fee.

And then YouTube music happened… the bastards.

I rolled my own Plex server and am on plexamp for music now.

I’ll never go back to streaming.

Minecraft has fishing… one of my metrics for me “beating” Minecraft is getting a pole that is enchanted and pulls other enchanted items out of the water.

Ive wasted enjoyed so much time just listening to music and fishing in that game.

I’m sure beats have a pink headphone… They are of the highest quality. /s!!!

Tho… Is she an audiophile? Probably not if she’s Bluetoothing. Beats might be an option. As shitty as that option might be.

Edit: Apparently they have gotten better… https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/uofqp4/whats_so_bad_about_beats_headphones/

Yeah I use overseerr on mine.

I’ve got the full stack of arr’s with overseerr for requests from the outside users. And I’m on Usenet with several different indexers.

They are all about low cost high performance builds.

Quicksync from Intel with an igpu is a god send . I’m running an i3 in my Plex server and it’s a hoss.

Good luck op

This is absolutely the way. My wife needed windows for school recently… Ltsc was the only way to go.

I use windows 11 for work and it’s absolutely horrible… took them a year to let us ungroup windows on the task bar. Win11 literally didn’t ship with that ability.

Man me too… and then like two days after I read the series… I read an article that said the authors wouldn’t ever return to it… lol

I mean it’s perfect… But c’mon man! Damnit!

so just stop buying digital copies, keep physical media alive.

That’s the only way forward honestly.

We have to return to physical media. Tho I fear it’s too late.

Idk man… I feel like if I pay ~$40 for a digital item… I should have the same rights with it as the physical copy.
If a digital market place sells me the item… I should be able to return to that market place and redownload it. Basically once they sell it… they are obligated to host the files.

Or as an alternative … I get 1 download of a drm free product. And everything after that is rebuy.

This sell it for $40 and then it’s gone off your game system or out of your account I think is shit business practice.

Streaming services can do what they want with their content… because you’re paying x money a month to access it… that’s the assumed behavior. Digital products advertised as “buy it on digital” should behave as items purchased and owned by the end user.

Maybe that’s just me being pro consumer…

Thanks. I wasn’t aware of the difference

This saying / idea sprang out of folks losing content they “bought” via online platforms.

Basically the letter from Sony(?) Said that due to licensing rights content was going to be removed from their servers… and that the items you bought were no longer available.

So… essentially nothing on a digital platform is ever purchased . It’s just leased until the platform owners decide to alter the deal. And such, if you can’t actually buy it… Are you actually pirating it?

Honestly… We spend $35 or so if we order from them… so idk that it’s saving us anything.

Thanks!

I have not. I was a shucks.top guy for a long time and don’t currently neeeeed the extra space.

That being said I’ve seen enough different users linking both the Amazon drives and the serverpartdeals recerts and pulls https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/high-capacity-drives

That I won’t hesitate to look at them next time I need drives.

And of course as the other user said… bad blocks.

I don’t have any input on your download direction… But I wanted to share some drive links.

Folks on datahoarder love these drives… Dell Exos X18 18TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200RPM 3.5-inch Enterprise HDD - ST18000NM002J (Renewed) https://a.co/d/9LeBkx7

And recertified drives / server pulls on https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/manufacturer-recertified-drives

Might be a cheaper couple of options for expansion.

Huh I wondered. That makes a lot of sense.

The version I have looks and sounds so much better than the blurays I have… Tho like you said better audio, widescreen and I’m fairly certain it’s been ai upscaled as well. I’d have to go back and look but my physical disks don’t hold a candle…
