I always go for 720 or 1080 despite having decent 4K TVs. My reasoning is file size too but because I don’t have a ton of space to spare for all the stuff I want to store. I have about 2TB left but that’s going to get used up eventually.
There are some things I’ll go for the high quality stuff like Super Mario Bros which looks amazing but that’s rare for me.
30GB for one movie is nuts.
Leopards ate my face, anyone?
Don’t be surprised when the dog you’ve been training to be vicious comes back to bite you too.
Thanks for somewhat resurrecting my comment!
I was going to recreate my comment without that Amazon link but couldn’t find it. Had no idea the mod log could be accessed like this.
They say there’s a referral in the link, but I swear I didn’t add one. I just grabbed the one that Amazon provides in the official app. I don’t need any points or money for recommending something that worked for me, I just wanted to provide a place I know most people can access. Temu is unfortunately too untrustworthy for long term links for anyone who may come across this in the future.
Speaking from experience, once you stop paying, they become available for purchase.
I let mine lapse and some Chinese gambling site picked it up for their own business. I always wondered why Chinese sites were coming to my site when I owned it lol.
If it’s a more obscure name, it’s likely it’ll just be one of those sites that advertises that it’s available until someone buys it.
One recent example I can give you is XnView. It’s a program that is free for personal use as an alternative to some specific Photoshop suite as well as some other paid photo viewers like ACDSee. But if you’re going to use this for any sort of commercial use, you need to pay for licenses for all computers you use this on. Such was the case for us since we needed it where I work.
Admittedly it’s integrity based for most of these programs. They are hoping that you are going to be honest about your usage and pay when you use it for commercial use. There doesn’t appear to be telemetry that reports back your usage as this is usually just some guy releasing his personal project. In the case of XnView, I feel it was a guy who was fed up with more recent updates to ACDSee and made his own that mirrors the older versions and just works.
We bought the licenses but I never really felt they were necessary to activate. But we had the proof if we were ever audited that we paid for commercial usage.
I pirate some stuff in my personal life, but these little guys who do this are seriously awesome and I try my hardest to follow their rules since it’s so convenient and helpful in my search and their approach is not ever privacy intrusive.
Another example would be WinRAR, if I remember correctly. They expect businesses to pay to use it but the general public of users just using it at home get the free, infinite “trial”.
Also cost for commercial use, free for personal use.
I like this because it allows me a chance to test the full version at my job and then we purchase the full version when we’re sure we want it.
How about fun shapes of healthy foods? There’s this YouTube video of someone doing some https://youtu.be/5kZwTPGhkdA?si=cDgP6DiKXdKf77ej
How about some dried fruits or dried vegetables like you can buy in bulk bags at a store like a health food store? My mom and dad got me hooked on dried pineapple and other dried fruits as a kid.
In my country it is illegal to share, but not illegal to download
By torrenting, you are sharing by default as it’s P2P. Even if you choose not to seed after downloading, you’re still sharing while you are downloading as other people who download after you are downloading chunks of the data from your partially downloaded data too.
So technically you are still committing a crime here.
Should that law change, it cannot retroactively affect something that happened in the past
Not necessarily. Very tyrannical governments don’t care and will tread on your rights even going backwards before the law was enacted if they so desire to do so.
Most laws don’t apply retroactively, but some can and do.
That’s it, thank you!
Oh no, this was strictly for the can to refill your car’s air conditioner liquid…the name is drawing a blank for me what it’s called, exactly.
I’ve seen some of these cans have a digital display on them which I guess this Bluetooth is supposed to replace. But it’s still so weird to me especially because these cans are generally disposable.
I was in an auto parts store yesterday and saw that you can buy a can of that stuff to fix your AC and the damn can has Bluetooth capabilities. So no, we’re still not done putting Bluetooth where it doesn’t need to be.
Duh. Always thought it was stupid back in the day how companies like Viacom removed CLIPS of their TV shows from YouTube.
You know what happens when I see a clip of a TV show that I like? I want to go see the full episode.
Fucking idiot executives just figuring this out. Though not all of them have as they still remove clips sometimes.
Most orgs would do well with basic UIs. As someone who has done help desk, users are fucking stupid more times than not. Microsoft is constantly changing their UI just because they feel like it and we’d get tickets because “Microsoft updated and I can’t find X anymore!”.
Yeah, it’ll take some getting used to for some users at first, but the lack of constant, arbitrary UI updates will help over time.
It looks outdated but that’s what most businesses deal with specifically because of dumb users and because businesses don’t want to pay to keep training users on new UIs or paying for support to educate users and a lot of it is gimmicky, not really providing anything new but just a different way of looking at the same screen.

There are some onion search engines that provide a little bit of context about the site you’re about to visit, much like how classic Google search used to look.
Because of that, I’ve been able to stay away from some sites that are obviously including cp because of the context provided.
I can’t remember the name of the one I use and I’m away from my computer, but if you google search for “onion search engine”, you should be able to find it or another like it that can do this.
I was just at Microcenter and saw these headbands you can wear while you sleep that have Bluetooth. They double a blinder for sleeping.
My thought is maybe this could work where the Bluetooth will begin playing music to wake you up but the sound only is audible to you.
You could test this with her before sleeping by adjusting the volume to the point where she says she can’t hear it but you still can.
We’d like to believe these are not by design but “bugs”, but who’s to say they aren’t?
Thinking about a video game, like Minecraft, wouldn’t you as a sentient being in the game assume that mobs like the Creeper were nothing more than bugs of the code, not there by design of the creator of the universe? But us knowing that it is a video game and what the game is about and its purpose, we know that these were placed there by design. (Though the Creeper creature was originally a bug of the pig design, it was modified by the developers to be included in the game by design).
How are we so certain that if this is a simulation that these aren’t there by design of these designers too for one reason or another? Without knowing the purpose of the simulation, we have no way to know that these aren’t here by design of the designers.
Lately I’ve been thinking about bugs and how prevalent they are in devices we’re familiar with in this simulation whereas we don’t seem to encounter any in our universe as we know it; therefore, we’re not in a simulation.
But this is under a few assumptions:
the bugs would be obvious malfunctions in the code. But would the program and those in the program realize they are bugs? A sentient NPC in GTA, for example, would they realize the car that just glitched through the world is not normal behavior? Perhaps the bug also affects their understanding of their world too.
our simulation system is rebooted on a normal basis but we never see it which reduces the bugs observed. Perhaps the planet operates on a docker-like platform, and when everyone in the section is asleep, the system is rebooted unbeknownst to the users residing there. Or reboots are not observed by us and we have no perception of “lost time”.
the OS that runs this simulation was very well designed, so much so, that the bugs are few and far between and only observed once in a while and patched immediately. Perhaps conspiracy theories by the few are some of those occurrences and the rest of us never see it, so it can’t possibly be actual reality.
the devices we use in this simulation, perhaps they have conditioned us to experience bugs differently than outside of the simulation, by actual design, so that we don’t recognize the bugs in the simulation since they are vastly different.
Not necessarily. In Teams, it shows the user’s specific hours they work as well as the time difference (this person is 2 hours behind you). All it would need is to remove the time difference and just display the time they work.
A person in Japan would just put in their signature or it would be in the application that they work from 0400 to 1200 while you still work 0800 to 1600 and you’d have your answer.
