Awesome haha. ALmost exact same setup here, incl. OpnSense with an isolation vlan in which (brother) printer and TV are.

So "lacking reading comprehension" it is, then.

Do you just have bad reading comprehension, or are you being disingenuous?

Obviously there's Disney parks in other countries. I said as much above. But while there's also shittons of other parks both in and out of the US, why do you think you specifically chose to use:

some poor sod who’s been saving up for a decade to take his kids to disney most like

as an example for why people would travel to the US? Is it because

some poor sod who’s been saving up for a decade to take his kids to The Enchanted Island Amusement Park in Phoenix, Arizona most like

would have sounded like a ridiculous stretch?

Well... Same thing with Disney. The idea of saving up for a trip there for ten years, or the idea that Disney Land is something one has to experience, or is the ultimate vacation target,... is a uniquely US-American thing. Disney parks, to the rest of the world, are just another flavor of amusement park. If you're in the vicinity, sure, why not spend a day. But traveling across the Atlantic for it? No way, not worth it at all, we have amusement parks here.

Came here for this

No, sorry, I said "Europe" because that's what the post was saying. What I meant (and probably should have said) is: US-Americans are uniquely fascinated with Disney parks. Sure there are also parks in other countries, and I am sure there are some people traveling to the US to go to Disney parks specifically, but this being the first and foremost example for "reasons why people might go to the US" is just funny to me.

Disney Land is far, FAR less popular with Europeans compared to the US.

You had me cracking up at

I only use the Nvidia Shield remote. It obviously does everything on the Shield, plus tv on/off, and volume. Then I remapped the Netflix button on it to open a little quick actions menu to select brightness/picture mode levels.

Haven't touched the lg remote since

Incredible. What a shit idea.

Anyways, kids, remember: never let your smart devices talk to the internet. We actually love our LG OLED - it's fantastic hardware. But it has not once, and never will, get the chance to phone home.

Oh god yes

My favorite math joke to this day is:

How many math professors does it take to change a lightbulb?

The answer is trivial and left as an exercise to the reader.
