I ran an Apple TV in the living room for a long time to access my Plex server and whatever subscription my wife has this month. As time went on it got more and more glitchy until it came to the point where I had to power cycle the thing every few days. Replaced it with a cheap fire stick, annoyed the crap out of me. Replaced that with a cheap Roku, it was only slightly better than the shitty firestick.

My wife got me the NVIDIA shield pro for Christmas this year, and I picked up the p2920 controller for it. My god this thing is awesome - not only is it the best tv box I’ve ever used, I can use moonlight to play games on my rig or GeForce now to stream games. I highly recommend this thing

Not paying them means you are not supporting them

In our society piracy is always justified

Fuck every last one of these corporations

The fuck are you on about? I’m talking about keeping an eye on my kids in my own house

Or children lol

I pasted that because my inbox kept filling up with obnoxious comments that all needed a similar reply, and I don’t care enough to personalize the message a dozen times for folks that aren’t giving r the same courtesy.

Fuck me for coming here expecting to have an actual conversation. In the beginning you could actually chat on lemmy, it was nice. This thread is just like the toxic Reddit I left.

Last time I try to have a conversation here.

Yeah nothing but irritation for you folks in this thread

Cool. I don’t care. I just want to keep my family safe. If that offends you I couldn’t give a fuck less

Yeah my bad. I’m tired of every single time a fun in mentioned seeing “just get rid of all of them it’s so easy” then when I reply with reasonable solutions, get shit on. Just tired of it. Shouldn’t have bothered to comment on this thread in the first place

Copy pasted for like the 6th time now:

Yeah 100% if you want to own a class of gun (say a revolver) you should have to take a class on that specific type of gun and pass a written and practical test, and renew this regularly. Want a different type of gun? Better go take that class and pass that test.

Rabid anti gun folks are just as bad as the rabid pro gun folks, but the regular ass folks in the middle all seem to agree that strong controls on who can purchase the dangerous tool is the most reasonable solution

But this is lemmy, basically Reddit but more intense. I fully expect the folks here to be rabid anti gun without any rationale arguments for that stance

The child didn’t die in this case, but yeah I think someone this dumb could easily have some similar damage with something more innocuous

That’s not really the point though…. Guy like this should never have passed certification process to get a gun if we had proper controls in place. Something that I always argue for but because I’m arguing for good testing and controls and limits rather than outright banning and forcible confiscation all the privileged folks that have never had to defend their families come out of the woodwork to shit in my face, every time

Someone who makes their own blank and whips it out at a wedding near a child simply to get folks attention is so fucking dumb he’d find a way to hurt himself with his dinner fork

The issue isn’t the tool, it’s the retard wielding it

They truly aren’t, this is straight up lack of brain cells that’s the issue here

If you can’t get a job that actually helps society then you can get the fuck out of it

Right? If you work for insurance you are the problem

I have 2 numbers, my direct cell that only family and close friends know, and my business line that I give out like candy. Business line is simply a virtual line that goes to an auto attendant that I this is si and so from whatever company, dial 1 to ring my cell or dial 2 to leave a voicemail. If you don’t hit a number it hangs up after 30 seconds. No more spam. Of course, some REALLY dumb clients think I’m sending them straight to voicemail because they don’t listen, but that’s it’s own kind of filter that I also appreciate

3D printing! You can start out cheap but you can get STUPID expensive, and it’s the biggest most meandering rabbit hole I know of
