Well, you see, Jane, when Netflix was $6 a month, nearly everyone stopped buying DVDs, and most slowed way down on piracy. Then, as Netflix grew greedier and decided to start its own production studio, it doubled the prices of its plans, limited its family plan to exclude college kids, and added ads to its cheapest plans. Then all the streaming companies started fighting for titles, and you can no longer figure out who streams your favorite shows. But most of the local places to buy DVDs are gone. So Piracy picked back up in a big way, and the server stores all the shows we watch on our phones and TVs.

"NOTE: This book was produced as a promotional item by Microsoft and HP."
I was wondering why it said Windows Home Server lol
Oh, remember the strange era when Microsoft was selling private home servers?
Nah Microsoft sells cloud services
Yeah, except my quote is real, and it was actually made as a promotional item by Microsoft and HP
I love it when memes are real
don't let your memes be dreams
I laughed so hard at this. I'm glad a few others here get it. Lemmy is a cool place.
You can actually buy the book 😂
Book link?
Lmfao I thought it was a meme but it’s real
Ngl, that makes us two, haha
Wait what, it's real? And from 2007?
Dammit, Amazon has no preview for it. I bet each page of it is meme worthy.
Lmaoooo, the book of personal attacks.
They had me up to Windows Home Server. I don't think I want one of those. It sounds dangerous, I wouldn't let that in my house.
Yeah, I was enjoying the book until that page made me ragequit. Absolutely no Windows servers.
Can't link because of lemmy.world TOS, but if you DDG the title the second result is a direct .pdf link on archive.org.
Can't relate PC hardware got way to expensive.
It's your new babysitter AGIMUS
