- Comment on Amazon will “ramp up” Prime Video ads in 2025 1 month ago:
Often times better… I have a 1080p 5.1 surround version of sg1. Prime has a 4:3 version with 2.0 audio, not to mention it’s super dark.
- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 1 month ago:
Pihole will log DNS requests. The requests come.from the TV. So when it pops up, Block it.
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 2 months ago:
I would go wired… get a switch, run an Ethernet cable from the dorm wall to the switch then out from your switch to your PC.
That said the university is probably handling DHCP and dns… You could use a USB WiFi plug to generate a hotspot off your PC. if you wanted to run your own wifi…
But honestly the dorms WiFi with you using a VPN to a major service is probably easier everyday use wise.
Let me just say this… my college lost WiFi connectivity for about 2 months once when I was there.
The only people who had WiFi were the folks connected to the pirate wireless. Because folks were doing the wired device --> hotspot deal with their desktops.So might not hurt to be prepared.
Also… The dns settings for your device… you should set those. If you use DNS from your university… It lets them control what you can and cannot see on the net.

- Comment on Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse. 2 months ago:
It’s a visio.
Literally the cheapest 32inch TV that best buy had.
It’s absolutely unusable with the ads disabled.
Horrific television.
- Comment on Your TV set has become a digital billboard. And it’s only getting worse. 2 months ago:
Pihole on your network… And block Internet access to the TV…
Tho… a while back the wife and I bought a dirt cheap 32 inch TV from bestbuy… it will literally turn itself on to deliver an advertisement if you power it off while in an app. (Skipping the home page)
Pihole crashes it.
We bought it for watching football outside so it’s unplugged for the majority of the year… but that’s still absolutely unacceptable. Imho
- Comment on Adding storage - Best options? (External USB drives, automatic decryption, media, etc.) 3 months ago:

I did perfect media server It’s got mergerfs for splitting data and using disks in various sizes .and snapraid for a level of redundancy. Tho raid isn’t backup.
That said I’m now running this setup on a n100 machine with a qnap tl-800c jobs USB c box.
Works great for downloads / Plex and home server needs.
The b100 chip isn’t amazing… Don’t get me wrong but it works really well for Plex.
Hope this all makes sense. I’m on mobile with out my glasses. Lol

- Comment on Microsoft Account to local account conversion guide erased from official Windows 11 guide — instructions redacted earlier this week 4 months ago:
I work for a small dev company. We have no idea what other silos are working on. Only 1-2 people at the very top have some sort of inkling… Maybe.
In a company that large… I don’t doubt that projects get filed under a very large encompassing epic (or the equivalent for what ever scrum software they are using) and not overly discussed with the business majors / marketing people that are the c-level people now.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
I’m of the mindset that you bought the domain you can do with it as you please. Where I think you’d get into “trouble” is if you were talking about piracy or something associated with their IP.
And the best possible outcome is they contact you and buy it for some much larger amount than you paid for it.

Trashguides is a good place for the arr applications.

Indexer is the search that points to the files hosted on the hoster.
Good luck!

- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 6 months ago:
Man for me it’s the iGPU via Intel.
I have an i3 with an Intel IGPU and it’ll murder any transcode I throw at it.
If you don’t want to rebuild… I think a quadro 2000? Is the sweet spot for coat vrs power.
But do your own research… I’m really rusty when it comes to suggesting gpus for servers.
www.serverbuilds.net is a great resource for that stuff. They have handy transcode guides there

- Comment on Why is Windows 11 so annoying? 6 months ago:
Hilariously Enough on win11 it previews the window if you hit the alt desktop button on the taskbar… so I started doing that before they put ungroup back. Lol
- Comment on Why is Windows 11 so annoying? 6 months ago:
Oh shit that’s handy!
Thanks!
- Comment on Why is Windows 11 so annoying? 6 months ago:
Forced window grouping.
That was idiotic. The work computer has win11 we use a proprietary software that doesn’t display in the hover popup. So I’ve you’ve got 4 windows open of that software… good luck guessing which one is which from the taskbar.
It took them ages after launch to add that back into windows.
