Big oof

Bob’s burgers is one our gotos to put on random when we can’t decide what to watch

You don’t NEED new stuff to play games. My computer is pushing 8 years old, I just upgrade the nvme or graphics card when needed. I got a refurb 3070 last year for $450 with warranty, can get one on Amazon now for under $300 without warranty. You don’t need 64gb to play games, 16 is plenty and you can get motherboards that use ddr4 fairly cheap.

Look around, second hand market is fine, just very the parts. This 3070 will last me a few years minimum.

No, I could have just kept using free. But I was using it a lot and felt like I should pay for it, otherwise free software may not be available in the future. I think it was like $20.

I should. But I bought it multiple years ago and I didn’t care that much. But I will definitely think twice next time I need some software to not use them.

Well yeah, just emphasizing I already paid for your software.

TeraCopy if you move lots of data around.

However, even with a pro license, I still got an ad notification in my task area recently pushing their other software. Fucking hate advertisements that go out of their way to interrupt you.

Sec+ is super easy if you got network+. Its literally common sense with some tech terms sprinkled in. Go for it.

Very similar situation, pihole and adblockers on everything. I pirate what I want, I refuse even paid services that put ads in like Hulu and netflix, fuck both of those. I refuse to use tiktok since its literally everyone and their brother trying to sell you shit.

Why do you care?

Seems like it benefited everyone involved, even those that don’t know they benefit from it.

Soldier is amazing

Same. Looks good, but not for me. Nephew loves it.

They definitely don’t see paid accounts using too much. My library is mostly built from Spotify rips using onthespot. 400k songs.

Everything is broken now and a few patches are up, waiting for it to update and keep ripping.

1000% agree most people can’t tell the difference in the bitrates, I rip mine at 320 in mp3. I can’t tell the difference in flac even with decent headphones, not worth the storage for the extra file size, I use Bluetooth headphones anyway, don’t care about every single frequency. I did notice some of my super old 120kbps mp3s from the 90s were so shit quality though, redownloaded those.

WHAT? I didn’t ask a damn thing, I said YOU need to find your balance of security and convenience.

YOU keep asking random questions. Wtf are you on about? You’re talking shit about people with quest hardware like we sold our souls.

I don’t use Facebook, I don’t care about ads since they’re all blocked. What is your beef with people enjoying life?

In what way did I ask for that?

You keep asking questions and providing nothing. Put up or shut up.

Enterprise is where windows has deep claws embedded.

My kids got one. We don’t have FB accounts. I have pihole setup as my DNS, don’t have cable, use Firefox and ublock, ads mean fuck all to me. I ride the high seas, have been since Napster. I pay for what I like, avoid what I don’t.

I’m old enough that if there is something they don’t know about me, it’s not hard to find. People act like a company knowing their name and address is going to send them to a early grave or something.

You need to find your balance of security and convenience and learn to live your life.

Setup a fake account. Use a friend’s bday you’ll remember. Its not hard. That’s like saying “people who use email are dumb fucks” since they also ask for bdays.

God forbid people enjoy some vr.
