Fixing things that aren't broken. Changing things just because they can be changed. Sometimes boring and stagnant is good.

When you own your own business you can easily make 6 figures, it just takes years of sweat equity and rough times. A friend of mine has grown his business from 100k/y in sales (and 5-10k profit) to millions per year (~300k profit) installing TVs and stereos in 13 years. He worked his ass off for a long time.

Do you recommend any specific external GPU? I had one from Black Magic, it was not that great performance wise.

I get an error on https://drs-web.amazon.com/settings – has it been taken down? I also have a Brother printer, which I bought from Amazon.

SponsorBlock is a wonderful tool. I use uBlock origin and have not seen an ad for a long time, perhaps years with one or two exceptions.

You're mistaking compliance with a competent security program.

Security is a SG&A line item, I am sure they are far more fixated on physical security due to their business vertical and had a gap. There will be many cyber companies chomping at the bit to get a piece of the inevitable (I made this number up) 100m MGM will spend on Cybersecurity over the next 5 years.

They won't make the same mistake twice and will build a comprehensive cybersecurity program, and it will succeed. Up until someone questions this cost and they forgot what they are paying for because everything was so smooth and repeat the cycle.

The objective of security is risk identification and management, not creating an impervious barrier for potential adversaries.

You sacrifice privacy – societal norms change over time and what was once acceptable can no longer be.

I have a userscript that redirects shorts to watch?v=XXXXXX, the short video id is playable using the regular YT video player. Eliminates all the annoying UI features of shorts.
