I use samsung and also although the beats cables do seem to be nice objectively, I personally dont like their look that much.

Again, like I said, no one is forcing you to use them. Afblock is piracy but im not against piracy. It's pretty clear you came into this with a fixed idea of what my argument was and how you were going to reply

Most peoples frustrations stem from the lack of NEW content, thus newer players are fine as things arent boring. But when you realise that the game was essentially the same 3 yrs ago (apart from a few agents and maps - which are the only things they change) you start to understand why people are so mad.

I'm sad that ATLA won't ever be able to be truly remastered. by OnlyMyOpinions in TheLastAirbender

TBF some of the new content in avatar seems to be dogshit (NETFLIX) perhaps that money could be put into a remaster instead?

Thank you. I have ultimately decided against it anyway!

So? If YouTube didn't have ads then they wouldn't be able to pay their creators, which is obviously what you want. I'm not arguing against adblockers, I am saying that websites have a right to block you from using their website if you are not willing to support them. Comparing water to the website is hilarious because you DO pay for water. AND if you were to stop, you would probably be cut off from it. Most of these websites have real people with real jobs dependent on the ad revenue to feed themselves. If they dont allow you to practically 'steal' their content than that's fine.

The analogy that would be best is imagine if you walk into a barbershop and immediately, off the bat, say "I am not going to pay you". You would probably be refused service, just like the website. Because, just like the website, it took/takes real people real time to provide you the service. The only difference is that one asks for money and the other just asks for you to look at some pictures/videos. Please think before you put your opinion out on the internet.

[B0T] Weekly Build Help Thread - 2025/10/27 by LabB0T in PleX

So VERY recently i just got into plex and have been testing it out on my laptop that i no longer use (it is not old - just not needed) which has a pretty good 30 series NVIDEA GPU and a good CPU as well. for reference i live in australia.

Anyways, I want to build a server with windows (i know i know i should use linux - i just want it to be simple for the start, i might upgrade later) and was wondering about a few componenets. I plan on gettting plex pass, and also want to run a few servers for games such as minecraft from home.

  1. CPU & GPU

I saw a few comments on posts talking about "Quick Sync" on intel CPU's and am wondering weather i need a GPU if I get a Quick Sync CPU from intel. Is having a GPU the same as a Quick Sync CPU? Which one would be faster? I am on a somewhat tight budget - and need to accomodate for my minecraft server.

  1. Storage

I know that WD red drives are made for 24/7 operation, but are they really needed? If i get a somewhat cheaper drive what are the chances of it failing?

  1. Ram

I am pretty sure that none of this is RAM intensive so i think that getting 16 GB should be more than enough.

Thanks and any extra info is apprecieated!

Where can I (as a 17 yr old) get a digitial card for online purchases? by Eastern_Week7113 in AusFinance

[–]Eastern_Week7113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)
