  • I can't find anything about VCR's blocking; I did find a bunch saying the opposite.

    There were copy protections that prevented a VHS - VHS copy being made of some movies. Easily defeated, but they did exist.

    My scenario was recording an Over The Air transmission onto VHS using a VCR; not making a backup copy of a movie you purchased on VHS.

    Edit: I do recall a campaign against VHS recording of TV shows, but didn't it ended basically saying "Broadcast public == public domain"?. That actually led to copy protections in VHS tapes.

  • Let's get crazier.

    Our current favorite show is Bob's Burgers, it's a comfort show we fall asleep to. Prior to signing up with real debrid I got tagged for downloading a 2 year old episode.

    We pay for Hulu. We pay for YoutubeTV. We have a working OTA antenna (for when the internet goes out).
    My math says I have 3 licenses, yet still illegal to download?

  • Here's what it's showing me:
    $3.26 for 15 days.
    $4.35 for 30 days.
    $9.79 for 90 days.
    $17.40 for 180 days.

    I did the 90 days to try it out for $10.
    3 days of "playing around with it".
    Day 4 it was linked to StremIO on my Chromecast.
    Day 5 it was linked to my NAS through rclone.

  • Things got weird when we went digital.

    1. It's perfectly okay, reasonable, legal to record a tape off the radio. Yet it's illegal to download a better copy?

  • Until recently, there were inspections.
    Here's a statement from June 2023 when the inspections stopped.

    Likely if any prior inspection showed only corn and potato in warhead, that would of been the mother of all global clapbacks the first time he threatened nukes.
    So it is safe to have belief that at least one of their ICBMs is in working order. Even if that singular device is loaded onto a sub in the Arctic Circle.

  • I've found (here in the US), that almost every bathroom has these little paper tickets in the bathroom stalls. If you chain enough together you can get a pretty decent tissue from it. I think they call it Tissue Paper or TP for short.

    Aside from that, as a responsible adult, I keep a collection of various drive-thru napkins in the center console and a roll of "Shop Towels" in the back.
