Heck. At this time I am not quite over Netflix discontinuing disks.

Music has a backstop of mechanical licensing for certain uses (radio style play, covers) which means, worst case you listen to a radio style stream customized to be related songs to what you want to hear or even worse but possible, you listen to...

False equivalency. Movies don't need regular software updates to keep playing and to fix new compatibility issues. And while a game may leave the Steam Store, it doesn't leave My Library if I own it. The same cannot be said for digitally...

People will regret the day they cheered for the physical media's demise.

Oh I grant that people who are upset about only one and not the other for some reason, all other things being equal, doesn't seem rational. However, in the framing about how it makes people angry in the situation I postulated (choice to do...

Keysfan.com can get you either Office 2019 or Office 2021, and the prices are good. Note: The download is via a direct link to Microsoft, so the software is not "infected."

Man, AS a government employee (Department of Veteran Affairs), I cannot agree with you enough. There is nothing more frustrating than having Congress write pie-in-the-sky aspirational requirements for your department, have them refuse to come...

Just because people repeat this a lot and want it to be true because it suits their political and/or financial agenda doesn't mean that it is actually true. Government can be, and is very effective in very many cases. When you see a regulation...

That was my recollection from the first time around, but they tried so many things before the Title II change stuck (well, at least temporarily) that I can't remember what the final deal was anymore. I had kind of hoped it would go all the way...

As has been repeated many times in this thread, this is only because the ISP's and other networks are not stupid. They know that the lifting of Title II for the internet came not by law, but by a change of executive priorities, and that as soon...

The government "just letting people do business" is how we got loads of ISP duopolies and even monopolies. Occasionally you get a flourishing market without government involvement, but an anecdotal experience of it doesn't mean your experience is...

Net Neutrality is conceptually a good thing; I find it concerning that certain vested interests attempting to just make up often contrary descriptions has worked as well as it has. In short, Net Neutrality just means that from a all...

because it was only a matter of time

Couldn't disagree more. Net neutrality was fantastic regulation to prevent abuse by those who control the networks. It is ultimately absolutely necessary in an era when more and more necessary communication, business transactions and...

I personally like Koolance QD3's for quick disconnects.

I can't see dropping 5-600 on a PSU. As much as I like Seasonic thats getting waaay into the area of unreasonable.

Oh no, he's onto us! :D Don't forget to make a hello thread.

for those without a 3d printer, check out your local library. mine does anything under 50g for free or it's just a small charge for anything over that

I managed to snag a full kit of 4x ram monarch ram heatsinks and the matching water block for $50 CDN off FB marketplace. I am running 4 sticks of 16GB bdie (64GB) at 1.525V and prior to this I had a janky fan zap strapped above my ram to...
