No I object to paying levies on tapes for some theoretical pirating.
I object to the dumbing down of kit to ruin copying.
I was so lucky my edit VCR and portable VCR both worked on regenerate sync, rather than degrade it. then Sony were forced to rejig the format to degrade.
Later on I captured all the originals to hard disk, and of course the levy crap applied to blank DVDs.
And this is why I am happy to download stuff.
Why should I pay a levy on blank DVDs, blank video tapes?
More to the point why should I pay a levy for a blank MiniDV tape which goes into my HCR9?
Why should I pay a levy for the backups of my OWN PHOTOS?
Why should I pay a levy for burning my OWN VIDEOS to DVD or BD?
So much junk served up when you are looking for something.
I put lots of terms to my own web site and it is something like page 10 on google.
May as well use DDG, as not raelly any worse.
I don't go to the German tin plate toy train search engine much, as I do 4mm scale British.
I am going to pay the 2.99, bash out James May in India, Clarksons Farm.
Then cancel prime.
Then investigate getting downloaded vidoes from PC to PS4 without burning to BluRay
Looks like I will jet have our national broadcaster with no logos on main channels, nor proper adverts beyond itself.
I have dropped stuff before over on screen logos!!!
Adverts will get dropped.
Glad I got the Expanse finished
Sony bought Bungee.
BTW I am pleased that Starfield was not too good*, as I will not buy an XBox as I only use MS stuff if I have to, or if it is good (their mice)
* MS Scrapped the almost complete Playstation version.
Sony are a lot nicer to me than MS, for a start they used to do really good TVs.
Too wrecked to commute, can't stand traffic, but I can work from home.
Did say if I drove to the office, I would get in after 10 and leave around 15 to avoid traffic and dark.
If it was demanded, I would go on sick and look for work in an out of date language WFH only, no stuff it, just retire.
Don't worry we take the pee out of most other off roaders, managed to deflate a Mitsubishi owner mentioning his bigger engine (of less power), and mines permanent 4WD.
What if there is no handy Land Rover to rescue the Jap offroader?
None of that off road course would trouble any of the proper LRs. And if you want to off road in total luxury buy a Range Rover.
One was going down a slope with a wheel in the air, Ireckon on that I would have 4 in contact with the ground.
As I need a new PC, starting to get the odd component failure, one of the HDDs is failing despite being second newest.
Tempted to get really overblown PC and run Windows in a VM for the few bits of software requiring them.
Needs
Firefox
Thunderbird
Something video edity
Something 3D CAD

Just unusable, totally unusable, luckily that PC is locked back to 10 now, and that is bad enough.
I can just read this text I am typing on a 1920x1080 monitor.
7 is easy to use, 10 hard, 11 almost impossible.
Yet I am legal to drive. So not that bad vision, imagine if it was worse, or their issue was more retina than lens.
I charity shopped 2/3rds of my books, used the shelf space for other books to be easier to get to.
I was not going to read them again, so free the space.
Of course hobby based text books started to fill the space.
Got some really nice photo books I just like to pick up and browse.
Will be culling more in future.
But like you TP stays, as do more modern SF authors I like, such as Alastair Reynold or Richard Morgan.
DVDs are well culled, 50% gone, BDs only 10% dumped, games about 25% gone.
A film, some bribes went out and the BluRay was cancelled and only a HD-DVD was done.
Yes I did email them and told them I got the HD-DVD rip off TPB, cpnverted it and played it off the hard drive of my PS3, mentioning I was going to buy the film but could not play it.
TV, FTA channels start the series, then the scum buy the rights and stop me watching, TPB to the rescue.
One series I loved I had pre ordered the DVD before the TPB release was out.
Never seen those episodes on broadcast due to that..
I have really culled my book collection as I was not not going to read them again, but keep the books I reallly want to keep.
WTF is this?
Phone hardware support roll back
Follwing Monday
A new button for start menu is not start menu, roll back again.
Following week, trying again, this time I stop it and say leave at 10.
I can't handle the UI changes. too confusing.
Not everyone is a 12 year old excited for useless changes.
I would be happy with 7 or Mint.
