It really is. Everyone splintering off to their own app is what got me back to it. Had Netflix, Hulu, max, Disney, prime and I think Apple plus or peacock for a while and I could never remember what service the shows I was watching were on. Opening up 4 streaming apps to find what I was watching the other day got tiresome. When it was mainly Netflix and Hulu I only pirated the few shows that were on like HBO that I wanted to see. Arr apps with plex is so nice in comparison.

Well trash has been removed from the sidewalk.

Unfortunate that an innocent homeless man had to die though.

I'm working on it. Pretty sure it's down to CPU, GPU or motherboard. I have an old gtx 660 that I'm going to try. Then probably buy a new MB and see if that helps. Really hope it's not CPU or GPU as they're a 5900x and 2080Super. Not exactly cheap replacements.

Eminem has a lot of homophobic lyrics. Think you're going to get him removed? Music has always pushed the boundaries of what's acceptable. Sometimes that's a good thing, other times it's not. But I think an artists freedom of expression overrides your feelings.

"stored stolen BBC property"

Does copyright work differently over there? Or are the copies actually stolen and not just recorded from broadcast?

Guess I should read the article.

Discarded TV film was secretly salvaged from bins and skips by staff and contractors who worked at the BBC

Computer no longer works. 'E's passed on! This PC is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PC!!

I'll get the pc fixed. Pi is being used for pihole currently. Do you need a Nas to connect the pi to the hdd that have the video files? Been a while since I messed with the pi, but I don't remember there being sata connections, or if there is, I have 3 hdd that would need to be connected.

You can't force treatment on someone who doesn't want help and expect results. Just like throwing them in jail until they're sober doesn't stop them from using as soon as they get released.

Not ruining people's lives further with jail and criminal records for personal use is better than what we were doing before, even if it's not perfect.

If I have to, I can canabilize the kids pc for parts. It's my old ryzen 3600 and gtx 970. Trying to avoid doing that if I can.

I've thought about it. The NAS enclosures are pretty expensive though. And since I usually just run the server on my gaming pc I couldn't justify the cost for another box when they fit in the pc just fine.

If it's not the GPU I'm almost positive it's CPU or mobo. It's hard locking anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. No heat issues.

I've fresh installed windows 10, 11 and tried pop os. Pop froze twice during install. Disconnected everything except the ssd, GPU and a single stick of ram. Update bios. Tried both sticks of ram individually in slot 2 where it's supposed to go and slot 3, which still freezes and tells me I'm a dumb ass for not reading the manual for ram location. Tried installing windows on a hdd. Ram memetest86, sfc, ssd check through the bios etc.

Wish my CPU had onboard graphics to narrow that out, but I'll try the old GPU I have. At that point I guess I could throw my CPU in the kids pc and see if there's issues, but will probably just buy a mobo and see.

I thought the same thing for 20+ years. A nice rice cooker is great though. Ours has a yumcarb setting that my wife likes, which has a separate basket with holes in it. Most of the starch leaks out of the rice and pools below it.

The newest episodes with Tennant are on Disney, most of the 2005 series is on max from what I understand.

I have 2080 super, which is probably a bit behind the 3070 and it pretty heavily out performs my ps5.

Rehab only works if the person wants to get clean. Otherwise it's just incarceration. There needs to be more support for those that want to get clean, but decriminalizing drugs also has to be done so that they can feel safe to seek treatment without fear of punishment.

I canceled last time they raised the price and started including football. The only thing prime is really good for is if you like making a bunch of little purchases frequently. I honestly don't miss it at all. When I do buy something, you get free shipping on anything else you buy for the next 24 hours. That ends up covering the little stuff I might have forgotten on the original order and prime shipping was rarely 2 days anymore anyway, so what's an extra day or two wait.

People are probably more likely to call for their help if they don't have to fear being thrown in jail.

I think going forward it's Disney. So the 60th specials and the next season with Ncuti Gatwa as the Dr.

It just hard locks minutes to an hour after boot. I tore it down to the cpu and removed the motherboard and reconnected everything. I've now narrowed it down to CPU, MB or power supply. My bet is on MB, so I have a new one ordered.

Ps5 does have other stuff like checkerboard and dynamic resolution available though. Fact remains, control was almost a locked 60fps on pc, and locked at 30 with less impressive visuals on PS5. And I would bet it'll be same for Alan. In that I could get better framerate while also having better visuals on my pc than which I would get on the ps5.

No. Once I replace whatever part died, I'll be able to restore everything important.

Yeah, that was one of the first troubleshooting steps. No errors. Also tried each stick individually. Confirmed the GPU is good as well. Ordered a new MB to try next.

You can hide any that stuff you don't want. I have the lifetime plex pass and the UI in plex is better than any streaming service that I've tried. One thing I like that is missing from streaming services is the actor bios. Being able to see everything that an actor/actress has been in from the pause screen of the show/movie I'm watching if I want to see more. Then I can just add those to *arr from my phone.

Haven't used stremio personally. Started with XBMC/Kodi. Plex is just better if you need to connect from multiple devices. And the *arr apps are a natural feeling progression to automate what I already know and have been doing.

I can't seem to find them on Amazon, but there used to be those air pump powered planes that were a lot of fun if you had the room to fly them.

I imagine if it's not disclosed clearly before you order, you can dispute it with your bank/cc company. If it is, and you still decide to give that company business, then I guess that's on you.

Control. Runs better, looks better on pc, compared to ps5.

Baldurs Gate 3. Main thing I've noticed, which may be a CPU issue is there's a longer pause on the Ai's turn on the ps5 sometimes. I have a 5900x on the PC, and playing in normal, whereas I'm playing tactician on PS5. So maybe the harder difficulty requires the CPU to think longer, or my cpu is just significantly better than the one in the ps5.

Edit. Pretty sure I was using the ryzen 3600 for control. 30fps with ray tracing on PS5, and while not a solid locked 60 on pc it was pretty close. Control is why I want Alan Wake 2 on pc, but I refuse to buy from epic.

Looking online, the 5700xt or 2070 are the closest match to the ps5.

How could hosting other people's work and at most giving them a cut of the ad revenue be more expensive than

A. Paying for streaming rights to other people's work. B. Creating your own works And C. Paying to host all of the above. ???

Unless you're saying that the hours streamed from YouTube is so vastly more than any streaming service that it out costs all the other costs Netflix etc has in licensing and content creation.

I don't think he hates gay people. But his music is controversy, that's its selling point. And I think your last sentence is spot on. For your typical "masculine" man, being called gay is an insult. It shouldn't be, but unfortunately that's the way it is.
