I thought disk drives weren’t even useful on consoles anymore. Aren’t they basically just a key now to download the digital version onto your console.

I’ve recently been buying a lot of blu rays and mp3’s so I own the media I like. I used to steam a lot with Spotify and Netflix and was very happy for a long time. Then Netflix did that password sharing garbage and I started just finding my shows online. I hate that there are so many streaming platforms as well so I would have to chase the movies I love to watch them again, because they would constantly get moved to different platforms. Then a few years ago I bought a used blu ray player and started picking up my favorite’s. The quality is fantastic and I don’t have to wait for buffering. Best part is whenever I want to watch again I can just pop it back in the player and it doesn’t cost me any more money than I did to watch it before.

The streaming age started out great, but I think physical media could make a serious comeback. Not like I care if it does come back though. I would rather keep getting my blu rays for a few bucks on eBay. I would hate if blu rays became like the retro gaming market where the price of old games can skyrocket

A couple years ago I paid what I felt was quite a bit of money for good seats on a plane. Then they started playing ads on the screen in front of me during take off. There was no way to turn off the screen and it literally felt like this screen was being thrust my face that I had no co trol over. Airline is the worst way to travel and they are only going to get more predatory.

Song quality is terrible. The features are lacking and rarely useful. Now they have increased the rates and take away car play. I left when I realized my top artists and songs were the same every year. Much better to buy the songs when the quality is way better and I actually own the media

Yeah she is an idiot

Guess this is just our lives now. Ignoring climate change and mismanaging wildfire prevention and now we live in a country where only May and maybe June are good months. Our summers now are almost completely covered in wildfire smoke. God knows the health effects we’ll all have later in life living through this every year. We grew up in a world where every day was warm and beautiful in the summer. We never worried about checking air quality and now it feels like our kids are going to live in a world where they need to wear gas masks outside.

What I find interesting is how many people will be on there clearly sick and not wearing a mask or trying to distance themselves from others. Just selfish people who don’t care who they infect.

Lol, as much as the world was better then, I can say I was not happier in 2015.

What stores should we be using as an alternative to loblaws? They own almost everything in my area

It doesn’t take much to run home assistant. I just have a raspberry pi going and it never fails. I plan to upgrade it to something more powerful in the future, but for now it is more than capable of running home assistant for me with no issues.
