  • I’ve had the same HP printer since around 2016? Don’t use it much, but it comes in handy when it’s needed. First time I ran out of ink I shopped around for the best deal and ended up with some other ink brand. Dumb me decided to update the printer when I got the ink. Boom it denied me the ability to use it now… it took me a few hours of trying to find exactly how to downgrade the firmware back to a previous version so I can use the dam ink I brought! I was thrilled when that worked. I then set it’s IP to static and removed the gateway. Now, no matter what it can’t reach home and know it needs an update at all. I almost can’t wait till the day this stops working so I can invest my money into whatever few brands that don’t screw you.










  • Super Furry Animals - Radiator

    Been my favorite since mid 00’s. As someone from the US, they were never very big here, and I get tons of looks from people if I tell them this. They were pretty successful overseas from the looks of the concerts. I didn’t mind. Whenever they toured here, I got to see them in super small venues, which was great. Sadly, they haven’t put out an album in over 15 years and doubt they will. They all have side projects and kind of moved on but never officially broke up. I can only hope they will return one day. Side projects are really good as well, thankfully.







  • My wife was the hardest battle since we are probably on the older side of people who use this site. I got her to drop cable, and in return, we got hulu live back when it was $40 a month. Within 3 years, it’s now $85, and without the add-ons and I said it has to go. Sat down and figured out everything she would watch, and although slightly more annoying to change channels, we just purchased subscriptions directly to the 3 channels she wanted and have the apps. So $85 is now like $20. I have to save money everywhere I can, cable is so pointless these days when everything offers easy cheap ways to watch just about anything.
