It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was butchered on streaming platforms, so I agree with you OP! Taiwan Tammy? GONE! Martina Martinez? GONE! Santa asking: "Is he retarded?" when Charlie just stares at him frozen in rage? GONE! Lots of funny moments missed by new fans unfortunately.
Related: Why have hard drive sizes stagnated? It feels like 8TB has been the golden standard going on 8 years now.
I'm very close to doing the following: Putting 6 drives in a portable RAID device, and ripping my movies to 720p x265 for storage. I can store a near limitless amount of movies and TV shows this way, and honestly I don't notice 720p. At least not enough to trade a 1GB movie for a 45GB 4k Remux. And I own a latest brand new 65 inch LG OLED and Sony OLED.
Added benefit is that its trivial to stream this anywhere at home or remotely. The files are so small that even scanning around the movie is instant.
The only thing holding me back is 8TB hard drives. So I wait patiently and continue to pay for a plexserver some guy manages for me.
- at_a_remove 4y agoHere's the real question: why have backup disc sizes stagnated? We went from CD to slightly larger CDs, to DVDs, then double-layer DVDs, but BD-Rs haven't really taken off and we ought to be at something much, much larger by now.
- andrewmackrodt 4y agoI'm not sure of prices in your region, but I see 20TB drives priced competitively to 8TB drives in terms of price/terabyte. I've been thinking of building a new media array to replace my existing 8TB drives and similar storage capacity would cost me less now than 3 years ago, for arguably better drives too. I've been thinking of using the Seagate Exos X18 (18TB drives) but haven't made the purchase yet to form an opinion.
