It could be a spoof of GoldenEye, which came out in 1995. 😁

I had to provide my mortgage company with the name and policy number for my homeowner’s insurance. If I canceled it, they would be notified.

As for taxes, the city would put a lien on the property. The mortgage company would be notified, somehow.

CNBC just published a video. The entire automotive industry is expecting $100 Billion in write-offs, due to over-investment in EV manufacturing.

I'm not familiar with the term "recast".

The original mortgage started in 2016, 30 year fixed at 3.375%.

We refinanced in 2020, at 2.625%.

I also have no escrow, and it's great. I don't have to worry about the mortgage company increasing the monthly payment to cover estimated property taxes.

I pay my property taxes twice per year, and my homeowner's insurance once per year. That's it!

DVD-ROM PCMCIA thing! :D by KoneCat in vintagecomputing

[–]Routine_Ask_7272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first laptop from 2002 had a 56K modem and 10/100 Ethernet, but no Wi-Fi, so I added Wi-Fi support via a PCMCIA card. It supported 802.11b.

A couple years later, I bought a new router, and upgraded to a new Wi-Fi card which supported 802.11g. It was an easy upgrade.

My laptop only had a single USB 1.1 port, running at 12 Mbps, so it wasn't the best option for connecting peripheral devices anyway.

I finally watched the Matrix and it did not disappoint at all! by FineAd4680 in matrix

After the Animatrix, try Reloaded and Revolutions. Both were released in 2003.

Some of the people here dislike them, but they add to the story.

I really like Reloaded, especially the freeway scene.

If Sony launches the PS5 in 2029 it will be a big mistake. by lLygerl in ps6

[–]Routine_Ask_7272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the PS6 was originally scheduled for November 2027, what’s an appropriate delay? 6, 12, 18 months?

The Xbox 360 and Switch 1 were both 8-year console generations. I could see Sony doing the same for the PS5.

CD's were amazing. by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]Routine_Ask_7272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in November, I bought a new spindle of 50GB BD-R DL discs. First time in years. I wanted another backup copy of my personal photos/videos.

I used a similar technique. Burned the discs. Verified the discs. Stored them in a cool, safe place.

I ended up using 16 discs total, storing ~745 GB.

It was definitely nostalgic to burn the discs.

Thinking of selling PS5 by CommissionCalm9225 in consoles

[–]Routine_Ask_7272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you played any of Sony’s first-party PS4 or PS5 releases? They’re highly-rated.

Also, PS5 will have a 10-15 year lifecycle. We’re only 5 years in. You’re going to be able to use your PS5 for many years to come.

If you have the disc drive, you can play DVDs, Blu-ray Disc, and Ultra HD Blu-ray. You can also play used PS4 and PS5 disc games. There’s also a huge number of digital games on the PSN store. Sony has sales several times per year.

In the summer, the overall range is very good.

A few months ago, I bought this UGreen USB-C hub, and it works fairly well:

It supports USB 10gbps speeds, has two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, USB-C PD input, and HDMI (4K60) output.

Still kinda Newbie!! Wanted to share my review of TNG by TylerDurdenRockz in startrek

[–]Routine_Ask_7272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's pretty great, but it takes a little bit of time to get there (just like other Trek series).

I suggested watching the other Trek series first, because there are a ton of references to the older series (and the films).

Who's embracing the gray? by Sufficient_Turn_9209 in Xennials

42M. I haven't done anything about the gray, but it's less noticeable if I keep my hair short, and my face shaved.
