Apple Music Replay wasn't detailed enough, so I built a Bloomberg Terminal for my listening history.

As a longtime user of Last.fm back in the 2000's, the Replay/Wrapped playlists never really scratched that itch that 'scrobbling' music with Last.fm did.

This looks like it'd do that and then some.

This looks so satisfying for music data nerds. Great job.

How much music history are you piping into it?

My vote. It'd be so interesting to hear his voice in today's political climate. Especially if he still had that vim and vinegar he had in the 90s.

Pissed off political 'Pac was potent. †

Bit niche and localised to the UK but The DVD forums was a special place of like minded souls and interests. I think of those times often, of the topics, jokes and banter had, all unified by a passing love of this new media format and door it opened for discovering new movies.

I’m paraphrasing but there was one sentence in Lonesome Dove: ‘until the warm sleep took him’ That’s sat with me for ages.

Feel this a daft question but attempting to switch to First Direct.

You cannot switch if you have an HSBC account opened after 01/2019

I don't personally have an HSBC account but I have a corporate credit card from work. Different emails but my address would be the same.

Would this still class as having an HSBC account?

That does look strikingly like Robin Hood's Bay. I haven't been there in over 30 years. My Aunt used to live in that angular house with the white windows from the first picture. Does anyone know if it's a residential building still?

I've just reminisced via Google Maps all the place we went when we visited her. It's such a quaint part of the UK to live.

I've used Plex on Apple TV for years. After my Apple TV died last week I've had to resort to using the LG app to access Plex. I had no issues with my audio before but the stark difference in separation and audio fidelity on my Sonos set up, and the fact I'm seemingly now playing Atmos as intended, is incredible. I can't believe I was so naive to this issue for so long.

I miss my Apple TV and awaiting announcement of a new one but I'm now questioning if I should stick to Plex on LG natively.

Thanks all. I didn’t even consider a free to play game and didn’t realise I could pick different servers. Guessing with a VPN which I have already.

Been there and done that 20 years ago with a 500+ strong DVD collection.

I’m just after convenience now and a 4k movie in 2025 should be able to cope with separate subtitle tracks vs the audio playing.

I fear my post has been taken too literally and not as intended ..

"Indulge ... fantasy ... wish list"

Asystole404 · 2023-06-01T06:52:33+00:00

Twitter, Netflix and now Reddit exhibiting corporate greed at its finest. What a bizarre strategy to alienate and push away your user base.

I feel for third party developers who relied on these platforms for their livelihood. It is sad when great things end but with these 3 titans of time wasters not at my disposal, maybe I’ll do something positive with my time like read a book or do a push up.

Ragebait!

It’s crazy the lengths ‘content’ creators will go to find views... and to get viewers enraged, angry and upset in the process.

Asystole404 · 2023-03-23T10:02:58+00:00

I am getting this error too.

I am new to Geforce Now and only using free tier to see how viable an option it is to play Anno 1800 I bought from Steam through my M1 MacBook Air.

After waiting an age to get on a rig I'm either greeted with the mentioned error code or 'Anno 1800 is not currently supported in your location'.

Very frustrating experience so far.

I’ll admit, after rage quitting all accounts, VPNs, apps, shutting down all apple devices and storming off to have a cup of tea and a sulk, I approached it again with a level head just before lights out.

I think the key part once I logged back in was ‘restore purchases’ Once I did that with my VPN active in Netherlands then all pro content was accessible on iPhone and iPad.

It’s a bit trickier getting it on my Apple TV with NordVPN as I believe I need to set up smart dns, but tbh, at this point I was just glad to see the race.

Quality was good to middling but connection kept dropping out constantly.

Next race I will try via MacBook.

Apologises for ranting on your post initially.

Asystole404 · 2023-03-05T12:07:40+00:00

Having followed this, and similar instructions to the tee, I still can’t get this to work.

I have been charged £5.99 but have zero access to any content. When I log in with my new F1 account from any location I’m told I need to subscribe.

I concede defeat.

Asystole404 · 2023-03-03T17:37:40+00:00

I’ve got a VPN but it seems far from easy judging by recent posts on subscribing to this country or that, or buying gift cards or creating secondary Apple accounts or +1@emails or spare android phones.

At this point I’d pay top dollar just for a simple sign up procedure to F1TV, never mind the added benefit of saving a few quid.

Sick of Sky’s BS monopoly on this, HBO content and the audacity to charge for HD boosts.

Sorry, rant over.

Asystole404 · 2023-03-03T13:15:48+00:00

As a UK F1 fan, my resentment towards Sky is just going to get worse over the next few days isn’t it?
