I have a job I really love

And your love for hot dogs!

Yeah, makes perfect sense!

Sorry! I've only heard that title used in the context of software engineering gigs.

Exactly, not in software as in, not working for a software company.

😂 what!? I've worked with 11 engineering managers and they've all used emojis. You're either not in software or you work for a bank/insurance.

All the power to ya Dave

I'm usually very hands on with tech, and at some point I found a lot of happiness in just letting go and getting off the shelf stuff that just works. Apple TV has been ideal for me after fucking around with everything else out there. Plex watched what I watch and serves up suggestions, at some point I just don't care haha

Ugh I'd bin the thing if it did that to me 😔

I've also heard the Nvidia shield does a great job

Yeah, most of the off-the-shelf stuff will phone home in one way or another. The second you sign into Netflix, etc, that phones home and sells your data in the same way.

If you're running a Sonarr/Plex set-up anyway, maybe just a tiny htpc and you're done.

I'm not sure if you count this as big tech, but the Roku devices I've used have been great

Honestly the big tech way is so much less headache than the other stuff. I've had a Chromecast and not apple tv and its quite decent. Most game consoles do the job really well too

I had a boox note battery fail after 3 years and it was replaced out of warranty for 80 bucks without any weird back and forth

My god, it's full of stars

Fresh green energy, straight from the orchard

Who wants a moustache ride!?

I think the craziest thing for me was that Picard walks into a romulan bar to start a fight. He was killed in a bar fight by a nossican and had to relive it via Q over and over so I feel like, this is something he would specifically avoid. What a weird show

Lil spooky, it was in Queenstown

Thank you!
