I drink Caykur Organic Turkish tea every day. It’s addictive.

Politely disagree. M-disc for BD-Rs are still absolutely worth the money if you want to properly archive something. NIST has agreed that the archival lifetime of a M-Disc BD-R is 100+ years.

You have to be careful with normal BD-Rs because there are two different types of recording material on the market: High to Low and Low to High (LTH). You want to stay away from BD-R LTH discs as their longevity isn’t as good as the High to Low discs.

There is a ton of HD-DVD disc rot today. For a format, it definitely did not hold up to age.

Thank your deity that M-Disc exists.

For me, ChargePoint chargers are the easiest to use and consistently work best, but usually the most expensive.

Blink chargers are the worst. The app is clunky, slow, and the experience just never feels like they actually vetted the process. Also, it feels like they have a hard time keeping their chargers maintained.

What used to be Volta, now Shell (yeah the oil company) is a hit or miss depending on their charger actually working. Nice thing about Volta is that free is free (for now).

For actually finding working chargers, I use PlugShare.

Ubisoft has released many games that require constant Internet access the past decade and then just shutting off the servers making the game completely unplayable. This just happened to The Crew last month. This will happen to:

  1. The Crew 2
  2. The Crew Motorfest
  3. Steep
  4. Riders Republic
  5. Star Trek Bridge Crew
  6. Skull & Bones (A AAAA game)
  7. Newer versions of Just Dance
  8. Newer versions of Rocksmith

And more…

Pirating doesn’t solve the game being completely unplayable when UbiSoft decides to shut down the servers.

The Crew could be played all the way through as a single player game. It made no sense for a constant Internet connection. The Crew’s credit screen for the final version of the game lasts over 45 minutes. Thousands of employees across the entire world worked on that game and now it is just gone with only gameplay videos being the only record of existence.

Fountains of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers

I think the popularity of Stacy’s Mom really scared them. But everything on the album is amazing. Interstate Managers was their third album. The other two albums following Interstate Managers were good, but not at that power pop level that Interstate Managers reached.

Wow, I didn’t know that some states allow fast food to be purchased by a EBT card. Can’t get away doing that in the south.

M-Disc exists?

MusicBrainz Picard is what you should try out.

Also, a song recognition feature was built into MusicBee for updating tags, but it never works as well as it could be.

When Interplay decided that Sim City needed goofy, over-the-top FMVs on a CD-ROM…I think that was peak Sim City. As a kid, I was disappointed 2k and 3k didn’t have professional, career-oriented adults yelling at you for your incompetence in FMV.

I mean…Microsoft is paying people to use Edge with Microsoft Rewards. It’s not a lot, but you can net a few cents each day with their Edge exclusive tasks.
