    I haven’t been to Best Buy since I caught them jacking the prices on laptops for boxing day ‘sales’… that was 10-15 years ago

    haven’t been to GameStop in about the same timeframe when I stopped sinking money into consoles because they were/are more expensive then pc gaming in the long run.

    also haven’t turned my 65inch tv on in about 2 years. it’s all streaming on my desktop with pihole so clean watching.

        There’s weirdness sometimes if devices don’t respect your network’s dns settings and just use their own. You can override that by forcing a dns redirect if your router supports that but not all consumer ones do unless you put openwrt or something on them.

        it’s not about the ads… it’s the quality of shows/movies. I honestly don’t care for any of it. it’s not interesting

        Not necessarily, a lot of apps use internal values for DNS resolution and other tricks to counter DNS level adblocking.
