Edit: I see now the article is about Australia. And the price is higher, but converting to USD the new price is still less than US $15.49 which I feel is fair. It costs me about $13.50/month in electricity for plex.
How is the standard plan a bad value? It’s $15.49 for 1080p no ads. I dropped 4k a while ago because they went stupid on the price, and I will never use ad supported. If they made the ad tier free, I’d still pay the $15.49/month. Standard plan hasn’t been hit with the last several price increases, which is why I still think it’s a good value, and why I’m still subscribed.
I’m sure with the way things are going Netflix will end up pushing me away eventually, but they haven’t yet. Dropping standard would cause me to cancel. I also have the Disney/Hulu bundle for $20 and plex for anything else. I could easily get anything on Netflix on plex.
There is a pretty big gap between ad supported and standard. Wonder if ads actually makes up for the difference or if it’s just under priced to push people towards it. But seeing as ads are like cancer to me I don’t even consider that tier as existing. So 15.49 1080p 2 screen, or 22.49 I think for 4k 4 screens. I sit far enough away that I don’t notice the benefits of 4k and don’t need the extra screens so I just judge the value from the content and price. Honestly I’d rather just have everything on plex instead of jumping between services, but some stuff that family watches is hard to find. Sonarr has probably 100+ episodes of reality TV crap that won’t download as no seeders.
I unfortunately went with them fairly recently for a video card now that EVGA is no longer making them. I would have picked something else if I’d seen the crap before.
Keep finding these long legged lil bros in my home. This is bro number three so far. Any idea what they are? Super fast and hard to grab and stick in the rescue jar.
Sounds like personal use amounts though. One of Marijuana and the other meth. I can understand impounding the car and having to pay the also a crime tow amount. But to just take the car, when it’s not being used to traffic drugs is complete BS.
Microsoft has been a fucking blight on gaming. Paid online, and timed exclusives both started there. No resale if we didn’t throw a massive fit about it. Buying up studios to kill them. I mean Sony has their share of being fucks as well, but at least they’re making good games. Microsoft has barely any decent games the last 2 generations, and hellblade 2 which is looking great was a Sony game that they had to buy and make exclusive.
I think entire games being exclusive and later releasing elsewhere is. And it’s been a while so my memory may be off, but I think Microsoft started the game is better on our console type exclusives. The only example I can think of currently is destiny, because I played the shit out of it (and it was Sony exclusive) with stuff like hawkmoon only being on Playstation. But I think Microsoft started it with maybe CoD.
I’m talking actual content. I mean mortal kombat was better on Sega because blood. But you still got the entire game on Nintendo.
Stuff like:
In 2010, Microsoft and Activision signed a multi-year agreement to bring Call of Duty game add-ons and map packs first to Xbox Live.
That’s actual content that should be on all versions of the game, that Microsoft paid to keep gamers on other platforms from getting. I think that’s a much shittier version of exclusivity than what came before. And they did that because it’s cheaper than actually making good games.
So basically the single player offline game made bank, but they keep pushing this live service crap thinking it’s going to be the next GTA online and not what 90% of the live service crap ends up being.
This is the one studio I’m pissed Microsoft bought. First one started as a Playstation and pc game. Id buy 2 on pc but my GPU recently died and I’m not buying another until the 5070 probably. And my fallback gtx 970 isn’t gonna cut it.
And where is the hate coming from? […] Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009), Batman: Arkham City (2011), and *Batman: Arkham Knight (2015) *garnering a pretty big following across console....
Fuck meta turning vr into a console. It’s a display device. There’s no reason my rift s or the other quest headsets connected to pc couldn’t play this.
You also need the backup for the defrost cycle. Which basically just turns the AC on to heat up the outside unit to melt ice. You don’t want cold air blowing into your house while trying to heat it.
I just got one installed last week. Just under 15k as the list price, but all the rebates available got it to $5200 out of pocket. I was already using an electric furnace though, so this should just be straight savings going forward.
Nothing. Give me a million dollars a day I’ll do any legal job there is. I’d retire after a day or seven depending on the job, but you could absolutely pay me enough to do any job.
Red bull is also the most expensive which is why I barely ever buy it. As someone that blocks every ad I possibly can, red bull is also the only one that has a slogan or catch phrase whatever “gives you wings is” that I know of so I guess marketing pays off.
Google data mines the fuck out of me, even with all my blocking of ads. So yeah I think YouTube without ads is fair trade for all the money they’ve made off my data. They don’t get my money as well as being able to do whatever they want with my data.
