I would love for someone to correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t brave one of the ones who would block the ads of a website just to see newer their own? So not only are you not supporting the website, you still see ads.

I have a couple ShieldTVs (AndroidTV) that have worked for me for years. They have worked with streaming services as I needed, but the main use case for me is Jellyfin for movies/tv and a good YouTube client that filters ads out. The shield has done a good job of passing the correct audio stream to the receiver and it looks good. There have been a few issues here or there with some codecs, but if I fall back on Kodi it usually works.

I haven’t tried an AppleTV despite being a mostly Mac/iOS household. It is difficult to find out how well the Jellyfin clients work on it, and last I checked there was no “official” client, just pay-for apps that may or may not do what I need.

I mean, the Columbia valley grows a bunch of corn, along with a bunch of other stuff. It isn’t the miles and miles of nonstop corn of the Midwest, but it is there.

It’s just as arbitrary as any other number. You can pick at random, but starting with a dictionary attack of easy, non-random keys would probably be a better start.

I remember playing a game of dvd-deal or no deal, where you would pick random number from one to twenty and see if you won money. The people I was playing with were mad because I just started guessing 1, 2, 3, 4…

I told them statistically it was just as likely to be those numbers as anything else.

They are just trying to show you they have the sleep ware for you, whether you are a prude OR a slut.

HE FORGOT STEP ONE!

In my state the dealerships don’t glue their logos to your car, only give you the license plate cover. The first time I bought a car somewhere else I asked them to take it off before they gave it to me. The guy gave me a look but did it anyway, but it was gone when I got possession.

I have something similar it’s been working great.

I have been thinking of trying to set up a “router on a stick” as a live backup but once I started researching it, it got daunting.

I saw some cat food at a specialty store that claimed it was made of 100% rabbit.

I’m like this, a simple “no thanks” has worked for me and I don’t have to construct a whole narrative about being a hermit.

I could imagine some statistician getting a Nobel prize for figuring out how to measure “we spent $1000 on advertising and it increased our sales by $1005”.

I mean that is the real point of all of this, isn’t it?

When you see companies that don’t advertise still making money you have to wonder why all of our eyeballs are full of shit all the time.
