      Little bit. I started watching the UK series on HBO Max before the US version came out.  Waiting on series 4 to be added. Series 1-3 are still available, so it appears to have survived the purging of shows like Westworld.

  3. Hmm, the Tesla app just notified me that my system is now in Storm Watch mode. Wasn't expecting that to happen until tomorrow. This means my PowerWall will charge to 100% using the grid, normally it only charges using Solar. This way I'm ready in case there's a grid failure like last year.

      True, my recent Duolingo lessons have been using formal you so sie was stuck in my mind.  Don't think I've seen anything yet about the trailing "ein" at the end, it seems odd to put "a" or "an" there. Probably in a later lesson.

      I was doing fairly well in Duolingo, then they did a major overhaul of the lesson plan. It added a whole bunch of new stuff in the lessons I'd already finished, which was confusing me because the lessons I was at assumed I knew words I'd not yet seen, so I restarted the course from the beginning. I just started Unit 2 over the weekend.

      Same thing happened with their Spanish course, which I also restarted. I've about a week left on Unit 1 for it.

      In German: "Kaufst Du Ein?" comes from "Einkaufen" (shopping).

      There's one not too far away from me here in STL.  It was definitely weird the first time.  "I'm on the wrong side of the road, how does this work WTF!"  :)

  10. My Drobo was running out of space and requested I replace the smallest HDD with a new one.  It just arrived - 18 TB! Have come a long way since 1981 when my VIC-20 used cassette for storage.

      @sramirez2008 - I went with the Drobos because you can add/replace drives as needed to increase storage space*. It does that by lying about its actual capacity - my Mac Pro thinks its 64TB of storage even though it currently holds 23.5TB.

      * Others at the time required you to build a new array and manually migrate your data. Its possible others now offer Drobo's expansion w/out migration ability, I've not kept up.

      @SpiceWare I started off with Drobos many years ago, they were incredibly easy to upgrade the storage and very intuitive, I loved using them. Sadly I soured on them after two of mine stopped working in a row, just back luck on my part. The DAS I have is simple software raid enclosure and the NAS is a 4 bay QNAP.

       

      Luckily I never experienced tape data storage, except for a drum machine I once had, as I was lucky to have a C64 with a floppy drive for my first computer (and an Epyx FastLoad cart). I did live vicariously through my friends tediously loading programs from tapes, so slow....

      @ZeroPage Homebrew bummer.  I've had 3 so far, only issue I've had was a noisy fan.  It was out of warranty so I followed this guide and replaced it myself (my thanks in the comments are towards the bottom on October 26, 2019)

      5D in 2013, used with original Mac mini DVR
      5D in 2017, used with my mac Pro

      8D in 2019, used with new Mac mini DVR

       

      My dad's using the 2013 5D.

       

      My nephew's using the original mini. It was replaced because it only supported a 4K TV at 30 Hz.

      It's all quite weird. They moved it forward from October to August and, I guess five months off is too big of a risk. I'm alittle surprised things five months away are getting cancelled and feel its maybe too bad they didn't keep the October date. Of, course they had no way of knowing moving it too August would result in a virus related cancellation.

      I suppose that buys me more time to finish my game.  Still, I think I'll just pretend the show's still happening to keep motivated.
