Haven’t heard Red Dragon referenced in a very long time. Loved that game.

I have never seen these. Thanks for mentioning them. I use a bunch of nvidia shield boxes and they are getting older by the day. Seeking alternatives and I like the looks of these. They do state they are not Netflix certified, but what does that mean? Will it work and they just don’t guarantee it? I’d say half the shield’s duty is Netflix and the other half is streaming from a nas. I use a separate pc w/FF for youtoob for the ad blocking. Would love to distill down to one box and this looks very nice. Thanks again!

Thank you friend, and congrats to you too! Yes, the anger triggered some self-reflection. “Nobody is going to make you lose weight or work out. You need to do this yourself!” Understanding and owning the responsibility of being your own advocate with regards to one’s health is important. It sounds obvious, but many shirk this responsibility. Though I don’t want to generalize too much, we all have our battles.

I did lose about 50lbs, but there’s always a bounce back when you try and normalize your diet and lifestyle. Nothing to be surprised at. Shedding 10 off would be better for me right now, so I suppose I need to get angry again! Just in time for the holidays! 😳

It’s how I lost 30lbs. It finally motivated me.

Would someone actually do that? Lie on the internet???

Side note on Apple’s heic images. You are right, they are difficult to manage. I took a holiday and discovered all my images (1500-2000) were orphaned on my phone by Windows. After learning why, I refused to pay MS the $1 for the codec. As it turns out, Linux can handle them with some tools. A small script converted them all to jpg and that was that. I’ve since changed the setting on my phone to jpg. Heic is a pain in the butt to me and isn’t worth whatever gains claimed. Linux can help, but newer versions of the phone OS require newer versions of the heic/heif toolsets since the format is still evolving. Apparently. JPEGs it is then.
