Sell your non I treated with phone to an Indian. You’ll both be happier.

What slop

I am close to starting this journey. I do have a lot of old movies on old hard drives from the 00s/10s. and was hoping to utilise them.

I do have an old laptop that has little power. It’s just a machine I use for admin.

Would I be better investing In a prebuilt home server?

No that many artists have gatekept entry.

I have to admit I get frustrated of the wealthier artists who started their careers singing of revolution and peace, yet gatekeep entry to the business and don’t speak up against the stuff that’s happening in the world. They just sit in glass houses.

I wonder how many that is in %. Got to be a good chunk who side load. They ain’t gonna suddenly convert and set up prime subscriptions.

Got any suggested tutorials?

I always saw it as a pendulum swing in retaliation to the neon naughties and Web 2.0 web design trends.

But it has to pop…make it pop and grab the reader! They need to SEEEEE the offer and hand over their money. Bigger please, make it bigger and pop even more. We don’t need white space!

Thanks for the update. Education is always an over option to being downvoted.

I was not being ignorant just remembering badly.

I think you need to define a country. My perception would be a place when a civilisation consisting of more than 3 regional groups to share the same common rules, and it clear boundaries and a name.

Isnt there evidence the First Nations came from Indonesia? Or Polynesia?

What is wrong with these weirdos. It is quite bizarre. It’s not like they don’t have access to the bank of the product. It must be some kinda twisted urge somehow populate their gene. Quite irrational, esp for those who spent so many years studying to be in the medical profession.

I will take a look thanks

Been hanging for an update. Could probs get one on the main tv. A bit pricey to do the full house though.

Jumping on this and will be starting slowly. I have a newish laptop…that has a broken screen. Alternatively I can pick up a new one. I also have a bunch of portable hard drives.

I have terrible internet (cable) with the phone line sitting at a spot in the hall where I could keep a small dedicated cupboard. So I was thinking something connected by Ethernet.

I want to ideally use it for downloading content and streaming it to devices around the house. Likely firestick or an alternative tv box.

Secondly I would use to stream music to my iPhone outside the house.

Any guides or starting points would be welcome.

I love sailing.

I moved to Qobuz. It costs a little more but that is something you have to accept for the ethical choice.

Unfortunately it’s not working for me. Many of my songs/libraries have not moved over well, can’t be found or have changed version etc.

The bigger issues for me are the terrible CarPlay functions of the app. It’s non existent. If I am travelling I need to see and search fast and easy. And I continually have to select Bluetooth when playing music, if the app drops out or I lose connection I can’t just pop on my phone and again select Bluetooth. It needs to recognise CarPlay and just switch.

Finally I it drops out and jumps a lot for me. Interruptions every 10 songs or so just isn’t great.

I wish it would have worked but it didn’t. I’m moving away from music streaming.

I have been chatting through convenience with my kids.

As an example music streaming. I have spent the last 15+ years paying for it, to generally accumulate a song or two extra per month. Switched from Spotify due to their warmongering. Tried an alternative. More expensive and the app is terrible for the car. Tempted lately to go back to an iPod and some sailing. At this stage it really does look like an option. It’s not the most convenient but balance out privacy, price and usability.

I feel like I am going backwards as I simply don’t know what’s coming and I can’t trust the services I pay for in several capacities.

And then after all that have to read a page full of ego and and thinly veiled sales waffle just to find the tiny bit of info you are looking for.

You have to give up too much time and privacy to get little back. It’s not the internet we knew. It’s a hyper monitized sales board.

I miss being excited about what online would unfurl for me each day.
