The studio cash grab explosion of streaming services is simply too inconvenient.
Subbing to everything you want to watch would still be cheaper than renting it all before streaming.
But Netflix has changed the value proposition and the stuidios are slitting their own throats trying to catch up.

but it’s probably people who got scammed with student loans they can’t discharge with bankruptcy.
cool and normal
just declare bankruptcy
my main PC hosts nothing, everything else is always on
sometimes I remember I’m self hosting things
Sorry the Vader doesn’t do it for me.
Give me a 6 switch wood grain any day.
my scsi controller needs to be entered during boot to manage raid. it also has an external battery that needed replacing (which cost more new than just buying a new card … with the exact same battery) so if you’re not in verbose boot mode figure that out and see if the controller is telling you which function key it needs.
figuring out this old stuff is most of the fun in running it, I would sell it as scrap before actually hosting anything on it.
I have a HP Proliant DL380G7, basically the last server with a front side bus, and all the comments about it where about power per watt.
and they’re not wrong.
I just don’t think this is the community for old servers like this, self hosting is very much a practical consideration and the money spent on electricity running anything useful on these old things is better spent on a raspberry pi or stand alone NAS or something.

Off the top of my head.
I got my first mac a few years back off the side of the road, a 2009 imac that didn’t work. I went to a lot of trouble to find and install the most up to date mac os I could get on it for the challenge and because I’d never used a intel mac before.
Believe me, they absolutely did just flick a switch. everything about steam worked fine until the day it didn’t even load up. removing support is one thing, actively bricking your product is a total scum fuck move that is just common practice in gaming now.
making it difficult to use your product seems like a bad business decision tbh
check that you have at least cat6 cables everywhere and that they are not connected into a slow ethernet port somewhere. MY old wifi router only had a single 10mb/s connection for some reason and it took me a solid minute to figure that shit out. if everything is going through wifi something more complicated is happening and I would first check you’re channel isn’t overlapping any neighbors signals and that you’re not trying to put 5g through any walls.
and you always hear good things about them. if it was a stand alone device it could easily be someones first apple product.
Don’t you need an apple device to even sign into it though?
The Apple ecosystem is pretty bad when you only have the 1 thing.
