Interesting reading the responses here. I set static addresses all the time and have had zero issue over a decade +.

It’s what jj122 posted… Click the link, then the link in the comment s/he linked to.

Any chance of bricking a drive with libredrive?

EDIT: My drive isn’t supported anyway. Thanks, though.

I poked around and found the solution to the issue in the MakeMKV forums probably just as you posted this. Thank you.

I guess I could have included that. It’s just a generic muti-error output stating it couldn’t find any files or that the source may be copyright protected - something I figured libdvdcss was supposed to work around.

Hmm…gave that a try just now and it said the version was too old (? odd, it was the latest listed) and asked for a registration…

Not sure what I did incorrectly, but that was the route I started on before looking for other ways to backup my collection… I dropped the libdvdcss in my Handbrake directory as was suggested on other sites, but Handbrake throws an error every time.

I quit playing that years ago. It was overrun with cheats and got sick of players getting kills at distances with zero bloom/deviation that literally should have been impossible.

Maybe they’ll ban a bunch, not that it will affect my gameplay any.

Now if they could just find a way to ban people using Xim/Chronos devices on 2042 that would be great. Too many people getting no-miss headshots at 90m with an SMG. I know there are some legit uses, but lately in TDM in particular it has become unplayable for several matches in a row because of players using aim assist devices.

Well, one is used as a massive government data collection tool, another does the same thing for private corporations and is profitable.

Profit. That’s why many refuse to make it standard.

I tried to spread it out. I don’t know if Ike was pro-civil rights, but he was certainly an advocate of investing in the country. His battleship speech certainly made him seem like an advocate of social programs.

Most republicans prior to Reagan are more like today’s liberals. They did things like make national parks, codify civil rights, and invest in social programs. Today’s liberals are trying to do what those republicans did - save natural lands, implement social programs, and enhance rights for people.

That said, just because a liberal does some things a conservative might approve of doesn’t make them a Republican, nor would the inverse be true.

If I remember this study it required a formulated liquid for “feeding” the good bacteria that kept away the bad bacteria. Not sure what came of it.

Edit: not the same. Getting my studies mixed up. This is the one I was thinking of, it’s a mouthwash to get rid of destructive bacteria.

Another uber-wealthy tool like Musk that is insulated from the consequences of anything they do or say while surrounding themselves with sycophants.

Yet somehow the ads usually load first and just fine.

Fml, I did. My fault.

Didn’t bother to check my post history, did you? Same for everyone who upvoted.

We split the difference and went with QLED. Mainly because OLED is marginally less good in brighter environments, and we get sunlight in the room where the screen is. It didn’t hurt that QLED was a significant cost savings as well. For my viewing, I’m just as happy with the QLED. However, if you’re using it as a monitor where you are physically closer to the screen, OLED contrast may serve you better.
