- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 3 weeks ago:
A lot of valid reasons for the price to be high but that’s still a lot of money. $80 for a game hurts. It went from a must buy early this year when I heard about it to ehh… Maybe I’ll see what happens first.

They’ve been in the news daily with issues, Financial and otherwise. The sudden rush of people now just slows it all down.
I am glad I signed up yeas ago though, it was a hopeful time when I assumed technology would help fix us, and give us answers, and help me know things no humans before us could know.
Half the crap I downloaded from them is meaningless. Family tree is proprietary, and everything else is in formats I don’t know what to do with. Not like I’ll upload it again but it’s just files I have with no purpose now.
- Comment on “Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen 5 weeks ago:
They just put out a huge update for the shield. Mine still plays the vast majority of things perfectly, even hevc and 4k content. I am perfectly happy with my shield pro. I’d buy one again if the current one shits the bed.
What are my other options? Apple TV and what else? Everything else is ad ridden underpowered and lacking licenses to play media.

I’ve had two failed harddrives in the last month. Not sure if bad batch or what. Thankfully the order these were on only were the two drives so may not see more. They are under warranty but it’s still a pain!
Otherwise I’m enjoying Mealie lately for my recipes. Kinda nice having them all in one place but accessible by anyone in the house.
- Comment on Were Sony and Microsoft Truly Worried About The Google Stadia? 2 months ago:
Stadia was the last straw for me. I kept my pixel phone but I replaced and ripped so much Google out of my life.
I replaced my nest cameras, and my Google wifi router. I ditched my Google home speakers and displays. Migrated everything from gmail except for Google related garbage. Unsubscribed from Google one. And no more books Google play. No movies or TV’s on Google play either.
And lastly I use duck duck go as my primary search.
A lot of time and money but my spite knows no bounds apparently.
- Comment on I just finished watching Voyager... again 3 months ago:
I agree the end of a series can feel a little draining as the stories conclude. I get that way with books too.
Lots of rewatches of the trek series, and I do skip ones that are boring to me, sometimes I just follow main story arc with ent and voy, but there are some really good bottle episodes that I miss that way.
If it feels like work to watch an episode, then I skip it. Sometimes it’s the topic, or my mood, or life.
Enjoy tng again!
- Comment on What are your Homelab goals for 2025? 3 months ago:
My server is exactly as I need. Basically 1 year old now. This year I really want to do vlans to control the network more than an off the shelf router. I work in tech and still am struggling because all I know is meraki bullshit and that’s not priced for the typical home user.
I’ll need a few AP’s and a switch and firewall. I don’t know what to get or what to buy and each research session ends with more options than I started with. Anyway that’s my goal. I’ll get there eventually.
