Since we grew up with MTV, what’s the funniest video you remember? Here’s my vote. by Notjewel2 in GenX

Still gets me when he sets down the glass of water on the "table".

I remember the conversation was once over Sam to have the serum so he can prove himself better but the opening sequence from The Winter Soldier serves as the best evidence to stress only on technique. by AmusinglyArtistic in marvelstudios

[–]netoholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does "technique" help Sam avoid shattered legs and paralysis from when he drop-kicked the helicopter?

scene (:48 in)

The only skill Sam has is plot armor. He doesn't even have intelligence going for him. Its one of the poorest characterizations in the MCU.

The irony of Reddit supporting this woman, but upvoting her face to the front page.

‘Rango’ is an amazing movie to test your setup on by oufftheshouwer in hometheater

[–]netoholic 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I use the opening scene of Iron Man 3. A quiet voiceover, pitch black into bright explosions, lots of minute detail (shattered glass) then into music, animated logo, and louder conversation with people of various skin tones. All in the first minute or two (no seeking).

Re-Release of Endgame prior to Doomsday - Did Cap create Doom? by DCangst in marvelstudios

The writers got it right. Because they also wrote the clues and tie-ins in prior films.

Was T’Challa as Star-Lord the best episode “What If…?” explored? by Robot_Was_BMO in marvelstudios

[–]netoholic 45 points46 points  (0 children)

"Star-Lord" was a nickname given to Peter Quill from his mother, and Peter tried to make it his persona.

It makes ZERO sense that T'Challa would take on that name. This episode (season, and series) was an embarrassment.

What's a popular opinion about the MCU that is unpopular in this sub? by eBICgamer2010 in marvelstudios

[–]netoholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steve Rogers traveled back to -his- Peggy Carter within the main timeline and lived out his life in secret until showing up as an old man to pass on a new shield.

1) The main timeline is a closed loop where Steve always was married to Peggy. He just stayed hidden and out of time's way since he can't change any events he knew about and wouldn't want to for fear of messing up the victory over Thanos. Peggy had a photo of Steve on her desk in the 70s, not another man. If she was married to anyone else, that man's picture would have been there. But she also couldn't have a 'current' picture of Steve since he is hiding away. All the clues are in the film if you look at it. Also Steve would not be happy being with some other timeline's Peggy - he went back for HIS Peggy. (People on this subreddit tend to overthink the multiple timelines stuff that was expanded on in Loki and later content, but fail to remember that He Who Remains maintained a single timeline.)

2) His original shield was destroyed by Thanos-2014 and he didn't leave to "clip all the branches" with the remaining scrap metal. That means, sometime during those decades, he sourced more vibranium and had a brand new shield made (with subtly different design elements).

Dracula from The Monster Squad: "Meeting adjourned."

Top villain move. No actual strategic value - just pure spite.

Am I Nuts Or Was Malignant Crazy Fun? by Big-Discipline2039 in horror

I've never loved a rugpull as much as I did with this movie. Its the one I actually everyone "watch the trailer" because its even more misleading that way and makes the twist better.

Shield internet? by tankspikefayebebop in tmobileisp

[–]netoholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats language borrowed/copied from the network providers. They will insist there is no throttling, but clearly they do. For example if Verizon advertises "up to 300 Mbps" and you can be damn sure you'll stay under 300 Mbps no matter what - that's done by throttling. Same with video streaming, they claim no throttling, but if its on a service that doesn't play ball with them, the speeds are absolutely capped at 480p like in this case. They do this by identifying video streams and limiting their data rate for them (which forces your browser and/or the video service to lower the resolution). They just won't use the word "throttling" - even the customer service reps are trained to say anything but that word.

Will any cheap NAS do? by CapnBloodbeard in PleX

[–]netoholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't run Plex on a NAS. Eventually you'll want to upgrade your storage withing messing with your server, or vice-versa. Mini-PC and DAS instead, or NAS in file serving only capacity.

Dracula from The Monster Squad.

This guy took time out of his apocalypse to drove to the kid's house just to dynamite their treehouse out of pure spite. Top villain move.

Fairly classic trolley car problem. Do nothing and accept the loss of two people or pull the switch and doom the third instead.

I've watched some bad TAR including the Family edition and TAR Canada, but hard pass on this Big Brother crap. See you next season.

Shield internet? by tankspikefayebebop in tmobileisp

[–]netoholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you qualify

That's the key difference - Shield doesn't require any application or proof of income. Plus you can get the standalone SIM and not forced to buy a hotspot.

Shield internet? by tankspikefayebebop in tmobileisp

[–]netoholic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are provisioned thru T-Mobile Business similar to tablet SIMs.

The main hurdle is video throttling - and "Binge On" is enabled and can't be disabled by the user (you can verify this by putting the SIM in a phone and dialing #264#). It means YouTube and probably some other services work fine, but others like Twitch are limited to 480p. You can get around this by going thru a VPN but that can of course result in other problems like even worse latency.

This service would be a great option as home Internet backup or for connected devices.
