and now I am too

But Blanks are still useful, I will literally never run out of unusable driver CDs, scratched CD-Rs, AOL cover discs, failed DVD burns, etc …

also floppy discs don’t shed foil flakes when they get wet, just superior coasters.

only torrent software I’d recommend

and not just for this reason but also because you can run it headless over a webUI … self hosting is an addiction

like most things apple when it works it’s the best user experience out there, but if you have the slightest little issue good fucking luck.

I can’t speak to infuse (because I’m self hosting to get away from subscriptions) but Jellyfin is extremely picky about file formats on appletv, I found myself using VLC more and more often until my Pihole sd card died and I found myself with a Libreelec box that just runs anything I throw at it without complaining.

the search for a remote half as good as a siri remote has begun.

a few GB of photos

get an m-disc burner and make multiple full backups to distribute around your family

ML has been sold as AI and honestly that’s enough of a scam for me to call it one.

but I also don’t really see end users getting scammed just venture capital and I’m ok with this.

I thought 20TB of storage would last me forever

I’ve had low storage warnings for years now

got a bag full of SIMMs, probably not a whole buttload but I don’t think even that amount would add up to 256GB

ML will never throw an explanation on screen because it doesn’t know there needs to be one.

you only mistake it for your meth lab once

Raid is a backup

very “you have to tell me if you’re a cop, right?” vibes

The alternative to pirating FIFA isn’t paying for it but to stop giving them any attention.

I was being facetious. Every site has multiple special requirements to make your password stronger weaker, the odds of being able to use a single one are slim even if you where dumb enough to try.

just have 1 password for everything, problem solved.

which one?

Let’s hope so.

What’s next, Open source electric car? Building and living in an Earth Ship?

I’m loving Pewdie’s redemption arc

there are more single player games out there than you could ever play and you can own them forever.

the move to always online is an attempt to compete with their biggest competition, their entire back catalogue.

if I still gave a shit about new consoles an empty box with a game code or anything with always online would be deal breakers.

PSA: PS3 has a ton of great games you likely never played and shops literally can’t give them away right now. why pay over $100 for the remaster that you don’t own when you can own the original for $1

right? if that’s all it takes to stop you paying for 20 streaming services in perpetuity are you even trying?
