    Oh true, forgot about that. In that case we won't think about it for a few years I'm sure...

    I've suggested we modify a Linux distro to use instead, but no one seems to want to pay for the setup. Which is fair I guess.

    I'm really excited for when the health authority I'm working for that uses win10 needs to frantically switch every machine to win11... Going to be such a relaxing time

    I've been playing some COD for the last month or so, after about 10 years away.

    It's absolutely astounding to me the number of idiots that the game attracts. In my experience, the odds of joining a game where at least one person doesn't have a [TRUMP] clan tag is about zero. Yesterday I saw someone whose name was along the lines of [USA]TRUMPWON. For a game that has traditionally included killing Nazis, the people at Activision clearly don't give a shit about actual fascism.

    Saw them in my city in BC for the first time last night, was very cool. Got a few long exposure shots that turned out pretty well - they are on my wife's phone however, so I can't share.

    I have used Spotify for years, in spite of the fact that they pay artists terribly - the reason for this was that out of all the streaming services, they had the largest and most complete weekly playlist of new releases. Having a new release playlist like this is quite important for DJs (or people who curate popular playlists... or people who just like music). I searched online and found that people have made posts on reddit stating that their new release playlists have also been severely limited. After going to the Spotify forums, I came upon the bullshit I have linked, in which a Spotify employee tells everyone complaining that the playlist has always been limited to 30 tracks, and if anyone received more it was a temporary glitch (despite people providing evidence of having 200 tracks for 5+ years), or was caused by external factors (??? lol). Personally I hate it when companies do things like this. I am not sure whether they are trying to get their power users to quit, or if they truly believe that they can get away with lying so blatantly. I have decided that I will no longer be supporting them. Figured I would share in case anyone needs to make a decision regarding which service to go with.

    Seeding issues

    Ahoy mateys, I've recently been trying to set up a win10 machine for seeding, but have been having weird network issues shortly after I lock the screen and stop interacting with it. My internet connection goes down entirely for this PC, but not the whole network. Restarting fixes the issue. I have already ensured power saving is off for my network card - does anyone have any other suggestions that I could try? Thank you!

    I already had a cyberghost sub, but decided to try to switch to something better for seeding. I have tested ProtonVPN and PIA, but ended up refunding PIA as the port forwarding didn't work once. ProtonVPN has worked maybe 5% of the time, and will likely be refunded as well. Is there such a thing as a VPN that can consistently forward ports? I'm considering trying AirVPN next, but am hoping someone could confirm whether it works or not first. I'm also open to any other recommendations. Thank you!

    The new dashboard UI has by far the worst UX I have seen in a gaming product - they removed the ability to customize anything, instead opting to turn the whole home page into an extension of the store. You can no longer have it only show things you own, nevermind things you're interested in. With this in mind, is there any way to load a different dashboard onto the system using dev mode? I'm seriously considering selling my Xbox and buying a ps5 at this point... I am also morally content pirating every game Microsoft makes from now until I die.

    It came as an update, and I installed it without thinking. I did see the size before launching thankfully and uninstalled - how screwed am I?

    I've seen a few other terminal emulators floating around different app stores - has anyone tried these, and found that they were actually better than Termux? Would love to check out any recommendations!
