I'll check out mikrotik - thanks!

I don't really understand the rest of what you said haha

Thank you for the reply - you've offered a great opportunity to ask another question 😂

I was looking at adguard. Is this something worth the subscription? I was looking at it because it seems to handle a lot of ads, including those on mobile games and stuff. But in my cursory glance, people are saying it's not safe...

I'll look at the GL-iNet because a) I want a powerhouse and b) I want nothing to do with flashing firmware haha

I need to replace my router as it's coming to end of life. I want one with vlan so I can put all my iot on a separate lan. Any recommendations?

They already send the tv's out at cost to collect your data to sell.

They're starting to ship them with chips in them to send the data away whether connected to WiFi or not

And they're taking screenshots of what you watch, including when you plug in a laptop.

We're almost there

Yes!

Holy cow haha. I "bought" so much music there. They got a ton of obscure gypsy brass band stuff for me when I asked too (Fanfare Ciocarlia)

Memory unlocked.

I definitely know what you're talking about (dispite not remembering the name of it) but they had everything. And if they didn't, you could request it and they'd find it.

I miss that site now

This is the nicest way someone's put it. I've tried to switch to Linux three or four times but until there is a distro that makes it plug and play like Windows or mac its going to be a tough sell. I consider myself tech savvy enough (I can google things, and for goodness sake at the bare minimum I can cut and paste into the terminal) but the barrier for getting Linux to work is too high right now for a very large part of the population.

I have W10 computer running the arrs and my plex server that I'm going to have to figure out as I can't get W11 on it.

I want to do it so bad!.... but I think I'll probably just end up getting a new, used computer that can run W11

This is the craziest thing to me...

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I put my boots or shoes on at the door before I go out, and I take them off when I get home. If I get cold feet, I may put on slippers.

Inside the house, I'm bare foot or in socks. If I take the trash out and it's nice, I go out barefoot. If it's snowy or frigid cold (I'll leave the Winnipeg weather up to you for a fun google) I put on my boots.

I don't know anyone who wears shoes indoors unless they are elderly and need the support. It's a sign of middle age / senior age living here.

I use this on my Chromecast. It's far prettier than the monstrosity that is that Google Chromecast home screen

Start sending links to his Twitter account 😂

Thank you. I am seriously considering this instead as I think I minimum spend around $40usd buying 4tb blocks on sale. If I forget to grab during a sale, that bumps to $45 per tb
