TBF, downloading YT rips is a much smaller offense than what I did (in terms of reducing audio quality). That said, if YouTube existed when I was young, I probably would have done the same thing and then become as equally horrified as an adult.

There are modded XP versions of all the classic Windows games that work in modern Windows. Look into those.

When I was a kid, I used to drop my CD rips down to a 32,000kHz sample rate to make the WAV files smaller, because I couldn’t figure out MP3s yet. Adult me is horrified by the notion. But back then, sounding good enough was acceptable.

No we don’t; link, please.

Please go back to your corner.

I’m happy for you but unfortunately this isn’t a solution for me, because old PCs don’t have HDMI 2.1 support. I would have to buy a modern GPU, and I rather not spend hundreds.

Old computers don’t have HDMI 2.1 support, silly. I’d have to buy a modern GPU, and I don’t want to spend hundreds just for a slightly faster interface.

Thanks for the suggestion but it doesn’t seem to support Dolby Atmos/DTS:X. Just plain 5.1/7.1. I have a 5.1.4 setup.

Hell, my fucking $2000 OLED came with a shit processor and only 8GB of storage; it’s laggy as fuck and only had room for one more app. Had to remove a bunch of crap via ADB just for the TV to be usable. It’s annoying as fuck that even high-end TVs come with the equivalent of a $50 Chinese phone under the hood.

Does anyone know of a box I can plug into the TV that actually has a decent CPU, at least 12GB of RAM, and usable storage space? It also needs to run on Android, and have a HDMI 2.1 port for 4K 120Hz support with HDR. I watch a lot of HFR content and stream PC games so this is a must. The remote should also be able to control the TV (including entering the menu), and the Dolby Atmos receiver too. Last thing I want is for the wife to complain about having to juggle 2 or 3 remotes just to watch Stremio.

“Hot ‘n’ Ready” is a lie in my experience. There’s almost always a wait, especially if you’re not willing to settle with pepperoni or plain cheese.

They’re literally cheaper than Little Caesar’s. Especially if you like a lot of toppings like me.

I’m just finding it hard to believe that you didn’t know woke was a black word, unless you don’t have much experience being around black culture.

(And stop calling it “AAVE”, you dork.)

Shame, cause those places not only make better pizzas with higher quality ingredients, they come out much faster too.

Then obviously you don’t listen to enough hip hop.

You’re joking, right? “Stay woke” has been a phrase since forever.

What I hate even more is they more and more stores are disabling the mute button, leaving you with Loud and Louder as your only volume choices.

When I worked self checkout at Safeway, first thing I would do at the start of my shift is mute every self checkout register. You can tell if a customer needs help from the lights alone; no need for the obnoxious, repetitive script. But unfortunately a lot of cashiers are too stupid to realize what the lights are for, so they crank the volume so that their Boomer ears can hear them. Drives me nuts.

Allow me to introduce you to MOD Pizza, Pieology, and Fired Pie. Their dough is so fresh that they make it in front of you. Plus you get unlimited toppings for a flat rate. All three of those places put Caesar to shame.

No that just makes time go by even faster, cause time flies when you’re having fun. I need real solutions.

How do I make time stop going faster?

Isn’t that what LightScribe is? Turn the disc upside down, laser burns images onto the label.
