Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that's ridiculous.

I legitimately cannot remember the last time I paid for a movie or TV show, or music.

Digitally, or physically.

Even if you count streaming services, its been over 5 years since I laid for Spotify... stopped paying for any kind of on demand videos before even that.

Friends wanna watch a movie at my place? Oh, I have a 10 TB library.

Oh, at your place? Does your TV have a USB port? Tell me its model number and I can figure out what codecs it can actually read.

Does it still work by clicking skip?

This isn't a EULA in that it still allows you to use the product even if you decline...

This option is available with most modern games these days. They often ask you to click "approve" twice, knowing you won't read either and knowing that you believe that you need to accept both to proceed. When in reality, the second one is almost always optional (perhaps even by law because of laws in the EU).

Still gross. And definitely a major dark pattern, but if people just took an extra 3 seconds to double check, they'd stop sending all of their data to these companies.

Are there any region-free 4K blu-ray drives available? I’m asking for a friend.
