They are the Shadow of Mordor games, based in the LotR world. You play a protagonist who's story takes place "behind the scenes" of the series. They go on sale or marked as free at least once or twice a year. I personally haven't found time to play through them but always want to!

Kill a mini boss of an orc horde. Orc horde gains a new boss that evolves around how you killed thier predecessor. Rinse and repeat and the game gets harder and harder while you also git gud.

Exactly my sentiment too. I already paid for it, may as well use it until they make some move that makes the jump to Jellyfin worth it. Not to mention Jellyfin is still fresh on the scene and I personally think it still needs a few more years to make a more seamless changeover from Plex for me and everyone else I've granted access to.

Not particularly useful at all, but meets the obscur box for sure, and I didn't read the "useful" part of the title until after already typing this post.

I used to frequent this page in the early 2000s:

Specifically, he had an amazing blog post about Ben Stiller at the height of his career: https://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=ben_stiller_should_star_in_every_movie%5E___%5E

My self hosted wireguard has no issues, so no idea what this is on about... I leave my VPN connected for many hours at a time and never had a crash as this post is indicating. Sounds device specific, but have not seen the issue on my S22U or S26U.

This is not a TPM encryption issue, if it were you would be prompted for a recovery key instead of a standard BSOD. I would assume failing HHD/SSD/NVME boot drive or driver conflict. You can try launching into safe mode which will give you a chance to copy your data. If that fails, installing Windows into a new, empty drive or a Linux live environment may be another viable option to you.

Get yourself a small 2 bay NAS in mirror mode and get your data backed up.

Right there with you bud. I stopped after they killed the first drug lord in a wheelchair. I think it was the second season. Man what a boring show.

I kind of feel the same about Plur1bus, but at least that show is interesting to see very prominent locations completely void of population.

Holy shit this is brilliant. I find much better results searching our archive solution for a term than whatever Outlook returns for me.

I have an HP multi function that can print on multiple types of paper, including cardstock, photo and glossy magazine. I've made reprinted NES instruction booklets on it even. I know everyone says "HP Bad", but they are all making the toner move. I accidentally updated my dad's Epson color inkjet printer and it started complaining about his black ink cartridge. Lesson learned, just don't update firmware on ANY brand and block their update servers at your router if possible.

Thanks! I do have several cassette players, including the one my grandmother recently used to listen to these same tapes. I assumed the process is similar to what you laid out but have yet to get my system set up for said conversion.

And for the photos, I'm already planning that too. I have a stand alone scanner but know it's a very tedious process from past personal scanning projects, and I have a tote full of I scanned photos. Maybe I'll task my oldest with it later this year I'm her "down time" lol.

To be fair, with two daughters that are 1.5 years apart, we also have many more of our older daughter. We had more time to take pictures between naps and active time and less attention split once our second was born. Do I have remorse of having less pictures of our youngest? Of course, but it really was a challenge to get as many pictures with a 2 year old running around a baby that can't even crawl yet!

I fixed the link. I hate that my phone browser defaults to the stupid Google analytic links. Need to find out if there's a setting to turn it off.

And you're likely correct. Any modem I used growing up were internal cards. As another commentator mentioned I likely confused the port type given it's size.
