'work' just replaced 'school'. same restrictions usually apply, just with the "i'm an adult" modifier that lets you deviate with some degree of risk to your paycheck.

so, you're logged in, have a purchase history that includes clothing, and azn is trying to make a sizing recommendation?

try a new and quality hdmi cable, and use the 'main' hdmi input on the new tv--the one that supports the latest rev of hdcp. use no adapters or extensions or splitters or switches. disconnect every other input to the tv and output from the bd player.

you may also need to connect the bd player to the internet, at least temporarily, if it has that capability.

i nuked my post history and haven't logged-in to 'that site' in about two years. there is one sub i lurk in occasionally that hasn't gained any traction on the lemmy equivalent. that's it other than the (relatively infrequent) pointer to a post from a web search for which no other alternative was listed.

the only way that fucking idiot should get one is if he jumped into a wood chipper and amid the global celebration, a sustainable peace broke out.

me neither. best is a 1070. don't play newer 'demanding' games, nor do i have a system 'worthy' of a better card anyway.

they aren't "cracking down on piracy". they're mad that a relatively small portion of their userbase is using their cheap devices to stream third-party content that they make no money off of--and so they're trying to shut down that functionality.

they're moving away from android anyway, so newer revisions of their hardware won't have this same 'problem'

yt-dlp

it or a front-end to it is always #2 on the list of applications to install on my own new os installs--right behind firefox.

i don't use yt much, but it's sure nice to have. i can just drag over or copy/paste urls or video id right from a serp and never have to give google a even single page view.

most the commercial 'free with ads' stuff (like the library of 'hollywood' movies and tv they have) that is wrapped in drm is on or rotates to other free sites (where adblockers or pihole work).

donvict's goon squad is trying to start something that they'll then turn around and blame 'protesters' as they mow 'em all down and haul away those who survive.
