Hey thanks for pointing that out. I was reading the endings page from fandom. I was under the impression that I had to run through the same events 5 times.

I didn't have it to run through a second time. Maybe I'll re-visit it down the line.

Nier: Automata. The gameplay mechanics were great. The plugin chips for your skills is what I have been wanting in a game since the Megaman Battle Network series. The gameplay mechanics were great as well! They way you were able to use weapons for light and heavy attacks. It was great.

I could NOT get into that story. I beat the the story and discovered that the game continues. Turns out I have play through the story 5 times to get the full understanding of the story.

Hard pass.

Hehe. Thanks for the chuckle.

The EX90 is the largest in that model line. I've personally been looking into the EX40. I just haven't researched the tracking, if any, involved with this model.

Hmmmm. I wonder if you uninstall and reinstall the app, would the same page appear? I'm not near my appleTV so I can't see if my sessions were a fluke. I've used it twice this last week.

Mine's working just fine. Why isn't infuse free tier working for you?

[–] Mobile@leminal.space 1 points 2 months ago

Well shit. Thank you for telling me this. I've been using startmail as my alternative to Proton as I de-Googled.

Currently looking to see if Startmail is also owned by System1. Anyone aware of other email services that you use?

Hey @MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca, I just wanted to let you know that I bought a 4k UHD movie the other day and my blu-ray player that I updated the firmware on could not play the disc as well.

I found answers online pointing to updating my volume unique keys (VUK). These keys are necessary to decrypt the discs. To make a long story short, there is a database online that you can use to update your keys to read your 4k UHD disc. I used this script in particular because I was able to echo the output the HTTP website. I didn't want to click on a link that is not using HTTPS.

I'm using linux so this was the solution that worked for me. I think there are other ways to update these keys. If you do go this route of using this bash script, please keep in mind that it's going to be a few hours. The transfer speed was in the kilobytes. Towards the end of my patience, I just hit ctrl-c to skip the keys for other nations that I don't see myself using.

Once all was done, I was able to get VLC to run my 4k film on my PC :)

I've stored them in a TV cabinet for years. Nothing special. I've created a Jellyfin server so if I was burning my DVD and blu-ray already, I may as well back up to files. And to point out austinfloyd's comment, disc rot was the other reason to back up the DVDs.

Also don't go with an Asustor 1102TL. I can't access the BIOS so I can't flash open media vault. I had a whole plan to have an automated Borg backup script running on the NAS but alas, I guess not. If someone can prove me wrong, please let me know.

I recently got into the rabbit hole of digitizing my DVDs after discovering that disc rot is very real. I bought an LG blu-ray external driver, followed steps to flash firmware, bought a MakeMKV license to support the software, and bought a NAS to run a RAID 1 configuration to hold the backups of the DVDs.

I do think with Netflix buying out Warner Bros, optical media will take a hit. But companies like the Criterion Collection keeps optical media alive. Also CDs are alive and well when it comes to music.

Running Jellyfin off of a Dell Optiplex 3060 and encoding all of my media in AV1. I'm able to stream my movies just fine via the Apple TV.

Wow. I was watching this game and left with four minutes in the second quarter. My understanding was that Drummond raised his fists? And THAT didn't qualify for an ejection?
