I also started using this recently and it’s very plug and play. Just open and run. It’s the only client so far that feels like I could recommend to non-geeks.

So What toe saying is, they should make it $120…

A big problem with trees is roots, especially in cities with dense underground infrastructure. If there’s an actual way to produce the same amount of oxygen as a tree in a smaller space, I’m all for it. I’m honestly okay with how these look, assuming low maintenance.

There truly is faith

This was probably a 30-year-old guy who’s been waiting for this moment since the first Oblivion released.

If you’re new to it, my personal recommendation is OPNsense for the router OS and UniFi for the AP. You can run the controller software from OPNsense directly through a plugin making management pretty simple.

You have to get industrial hardware built to last. I picked up an all-metal network appliance back in 2015 and it’s still kicking. Handles gigabit just fine as well. Here’s a random example of the type of thing I got (the exact one I got went out of sale years ago): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FKMJGD6/

You also end up having to split out your Wi-Fi to a dedicated access point this way for another ~$80, but you end up with a rock-solid setup that you can upgrade the software on year over year. I’ve ran at least 3 different OSs at this point since I’ve owned it and it’s handled them all perfectly. I’ve only had to upgrade my Wi-Fi AP once in that time.

A self-hosted VPN is the most secure free way to host your Jellyfin. I’ve had to learn the hard way over the years, but all the features and control you gain for hosting services yourself comes with all the same responsibilities and risk that the provider would be taking on for you.

The money you spend on their service is the alternative to the many hours it takes to learn how to properly host your own server.

You can definitely learn how to do it and it will be difficult and confusing at times, but that’s what the community is there for. I recommend joining a Matrix server or similar so you can get more real-time feedback for when you’re just getting started.

Totally understand not wanting to take the risk, though. Just something worth considering.

I remember this was the first game I saw on TV that was laughably bad. Pretty sure it was the Xplay episode where they showed it off: https://youtu.be/jG3QLH3DnIo

Simpler times

Trevor’s speech following the mission actually has a decent amount of meat to it. He makes a valid point and the mission is used to demonstrate his point.

He points out how the guy was completely willing to give info, but because everyone is so torture happy, they make a game out of it the whole time (yes, I’m aware), cracking jokes and totally enjoying the guy’s pain.

I really hope the social commentary that permeates Los Santos is still there in GTA VI. Based on what we got in RDR2, I have no reason to doubt this game is going to be scathing on the current political climate. Time will tell.

I just replayed GTA V after the update and I forgot how bad I feel on the torture mission. But then I remembered what the guy looked like and only had to deal with two cutscenes worth. Also got a great line of dialogue if you shout the target early.

“What the fuck, Michael!?”

“It just felt like that was the guy.”

“How do you know.”

“I had a hunch. It’ll check out.”

Good thing I couldn’t care less about Online. I just played the career start to finish again without a single issue. I didn’t have a single issue with performance at max graphics either. If you ignore the online aspect, this was an improvement in every regard.

Kinda sucks for those having issues. At least the original game is still playable from what I understand.

I just came across this incredibly detailed guide yesterday. It’s my new go to for those looking to switch. It’s a pick-what-you-want guide. Do as much of it or as little as you want. But I was in preparation to write basically this and this guy did a much better version in 2 months:

Fry’s Electronics is no longer a thing. Microcenter is all that’s left to my knowledge.

Honestly, I’ve always gone to a retail store if quality is a concern. Name brand SanDisks have literally never failed me. Just make sure you get at least U3/A2 class for speed.
