I feel like the $140 a year she pays for prime could be better spent other places, i prefer to shop locally but its getting hard.
Same i 100% refuse to watch commercials. I dont consume the same amount of material i once did just due to lack of interest in political BS being crammed down my throat but when i do i dont need the 19min of commercials per 60min of broadcast
We have completely cord cut at the house including all streaming services except prime just because of the shipping. Prime video will gone now as well, just need to convince the wife she doesnt need a prime account anymore
i have multiple people who have told me if I ever want to sell my kuro they want it, for 1080P content it cant be beat.
For movie night if we dont have a 4k disk the family prefers watching on it even tho its slightly smaller.
I just helped a good friend wire his house and tried to talk him into doing conduit runs but he didnt want the extra cost associated with it since he isnt planning on keeping the house more then 3-5 years so we did all cat6e runs except we did 1 fiber run from his office/ gaming room back to the...

I am trying to plan fast storage for the future if i decide to try and store my steam Library on it as well
Looks like i am returning/reselling the msi.

I am undecided on what to use for my plex media, since i just need...
I went with the msi because it had really good reviews, onboard 2.5 and was a door crasher blackfriday sale, with cdn exchange rate in the toilet i grabbed it, i honestly forgot about ECC ram if it becomes an issue ill sell it and go with something else

Going to do more research on ram, i have 16tb to get it up and running, no crazy deals on HD’s yet going to keep looking
Picked up a few items on decent black friday sales, Cdn prices are in the crapper.
As far as software i am completely in over my head, current server is running windows server with a basic raid card, i am one step above a linux noob so most of it is foreign to me.
Since plex is the number 1...
