Seeing how people still seem to find a way to get the raw video data from the big paid streaming services (e.g. netflix), and the likes of bluray, I feel you are right. Where there is enough demand, people will find a way.

Riight. I subscribed once, seeing they offered a download option. And it downloaded like a 720p terrible quality video... I unsubscribed.

re- the sponsor blocks. I find it quite eye opening too. Some creators I follow have created there channel with an image of trustworthiness, and then they have a sponserblock scripted word for word same as other channels... That really lost

I think our Kiwisaver is more like the US's 401k. We also have NZ Super, which you start getting at 65, and isn't asset tested (yet). But most can't live on just NZ Super. Though some living frugal and have paid off their ho

We (New Zealanders) are already getting taxed 1.4% on wealth effectively, if your on a tax rate of 30%+ (most people). Most people just don't know about it. Due to the FIF rules. Any international investments you have get taxed like th

I've been using Caddy since the early days, and a few times looked into using Traefik, but it's config looked pretty complicated for what is a simple reverse proxy on Caddy.

Ironically, often you get way faster speeds out on a RCG tower too. (probably due to few users), vs when in the city, where I often get pretty average speeds be it 4g or 5g.

I did this. Was in a dead end job, left the job, traveled for a year, rented somewhere for 6 months, then out of money, moved in with parents... still here. Job opportunities where my parents live aren't great. At the time the job was

Just heads up, this is a trail, you have to pay to use it after 30mins.. Easier and (cheaper?) to just use elevenlabs.

The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins (the guy that started the FIRE movement.) Great read, and not dry like many finance/investing books can be. Worth a read if you want to retire early, or even just retire normally. If you happen t

I used to always buy MBP's, but the new gen are all those super thick and heavy models. I tried one and couldn't get used to the thickness or weight. At that point I may as well get a desktop. I ended up buying M2 new MBA (from in

It's currently optional for sellers, Etsy says "This info won’t change what buyers see for now, but will be used to improve the shopping experience in the future."

Also, would govt stepping in even help? We all know where that led to with the "war on drugs" in the US. I think there is no simple/easy fix. My view is, you need to educate parents (backed by solid peer reviewed etc studies)

Near as in, in NZ? or like in the bay? Not many tech people stay in the bay, let alone in NZ.

I never had any contact details in my profile, in fact it was empty before today. I would actually love to meet like minded people. Just never thought anyone would want to (or be able to, I live kinda way out from where you'd normally

I must have bad fingers cos Touch ID is more miss than hit. More often than not, I'll just type in my password on the Mac. The Touch ID rarely works faster. As for iPhone, the Face ID works (for me) soooo much faster and reliable than

Oh yeah, I'm well aware these are very high returns, and chances are high that we'll soon get a year of -30% or the like, as the average p.a. return over 25 years is usually ~7-10%, depending what timeframe you mesure. (ex fees an

But will you sell in time for all that growth to not be eroded away? Tech has been doing really well last few years, but it won't last forever looking at history. So when do you sell, and what do you buy when you sell. This is why peop

I started my investing journey about 5 years ago, started with stock picking, and my average yearly return is... 4.5% p.a. I would've 100% been better of investing in a low fee index fund, like S&P500 (VOO), or even just a world ET

It's a shame most (all?) the sound recordings are so short. ~1min I would love to have like 30m or longer ones.
