  Also why I invested in the hardware and software for Blu-ray ripping. I now have a Pioneer drive in a USB enclosure, and can now rip even 4K Blu-rays from any region. So many special features I was missing out on, though a lot of disc releases are cheaping out on them these days.

  Only annoying part about ripping is the freaking maze of playlists on many Blu-rays, especially for Special Features, and none of the player software I’ve tried yet has a feature to tell you what playlist and video file you’re currently watching. So you basically have to rip everything and then check each video file afterwards.

  It’s really sad because the artists have little to no control over this. It is the venues who are contracted through Ticketmaster.

  Yeah, it’s like if every movie theater only used Fandango. It would be ridiculous if that was the case, yet that’s what’s happened to live events.

  That’s only for non-logged in users.

  The overhead isn’t the storage but the request. Processing a request takes CPU time, which can get expensive when people setup a media server and request subtitles for dozens of movies and shows. Every episode of a TV show is a separate request and that can add up fast when you scale it to thousands of users.

  Seriously. This year for a similar amount per night, while I didn’t get a whole house to myself,

  Just a two bed room, bathroom, desk, mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker to myself.

  I got an actually good free breakfast every day, a pool, a gym, free room cleaning, free Internet, and there was like a mini food store next to the front-desk if I needed food in the middle of the night.

  Sure there are crap hotels, but if you read reviews it’s not too hard to find decent ones. And there’s usually no surprise extra fees.

  Pretty much the only issue I ran into was at one hotel, the claimed free breakfast was watered down coffee, a waffle maker, cereal, and frozen solid orange juice. Had to go out for breakfast every morning which was annoying.

  LOL, DS9 laying the truth before it was even a meme. Throw on a high-vis vest and carry a ladder, walk into almost any venue.

  I wish I could just pay per article sometimes. Let the subscription be optional for people who read a lot from that source.

  Newer backup cameras have lines to warn you of the distance, but you still have to be careful just like with mirrors.
