I used to play bridge builder too! If this were Facebook that would make me an expert. Sadly.

I'm too tired for sex, but I have cookies.

I'm sure this is way too late, but Ezviz is awful. Aside from funding genocide they lock down your camera if you don't update the firmware, the app is trash, and they have the most personal data trackers of any surveillance camera.

I can't help but wonder if most other news organizations' corporate owners wouldn't want to legitimize the fediverse in anyway. It might loosen their deathgrip on the internet .

Good deal. Yeah I have few old movies or of circulation I downloaded in the 00's in 240p that seemed fine back then but on my monitor or TV now make it look like I'm watching it on a Lite Brite.

If you're doing it for preservation and data hoarding then it's probably worth it to redo it, but unless you're very picky odds are there isn't much difference depending on what you saved them as in Handbrake. If you plan on keeping the DVDs then I would watch a bit of one as it's then play a bit of the file and if you don't have a problem with the difference then I wouldn't worry about it too much. DVD is only 480 SD typically anyway. I'm not an expert though, just a fellow ripper of DVDs.

At least we know for sure neither of us is confident about our memories.

It's been many years, but I remember a small banner ad below the video and maybe one to the side. It was so reasonable though it's hard to remember for sure.

The degree in which corporations engage in psychological warfare against customers is astounding. Not surprising, just outrageous. Don't want notifications on? We're going to ask you to turn on notifications in the the program every single day until you do it. Don't want to watch ads because our infinite greed has destroyed what used to be a good platform with a reasonable number of ads before we bought it? Then we'll make the experience less pleasant until you comply. They already make multiple parts of YouTube disagree with ad blockers on purpose to break the sites features. Not that I use anything other than NewPipe and Piped anymore anyway. I'm just sick of shitty corporations acting like we're children who can be punished.

I came to the OnePlus bandwagon late and now I know why my experience was so substandard even though so many people had talked them up. I was looking at the Nothing Phone and beginning to consider it because I bought a Pixel I regret and now I think I'll just stick with the phone that's paid for because they all suck. I miss my BlackJack II, Sidekick, and even my G1.

Don't worry, there's still plenty of reasons Windows sucks and they'll only make it worse.
